What happens when we throw logic, storytelling, and good taste completely out the window? This week on Book It!, we flip the script and challenge ourselves to create the most horrible, cringe-worthy, absolute dumpster fire of a wrestling pay-per-view ever imagined.From nonsensical match stipulations to baffling booking decisions, washed-up surprise entrants, and main events no one asked for—we're crafting a card so bad, you'll question our sanity and taste in wrestling.

Will Sasso is back and we're having so much fun reviewing WWE No Way Out 2000 (technically WWF No Way Out 2000). We review the infamous hell in a cell match with Cactus Jack and Triple H. An awesome match between the Hardys and Edge & Christian, Big Show screws The Rock, Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho start their feud and the Radicalz have their first PPV match. If you don't laugh this episode, you have no soul.

In this episode of Wrestling Soup, Anthony Thomas and Joseph E. Numbers dive into the latest happenings in the wrestling world. They start by discussing a relatively dull week leading up to WrestleMania, the effect of losing their longtime partner, and the apparent decline of AEW's relevance compared to WWE and TNA. They focus on Jordan Grace's botch, the Evolve Show, and the curious case of Swerve Strickland's antics on Vlad TV. The conversation also shifts to explosive promos like the one between Charlotte and Tiffany Stratton, showing the wrestling dynamics at play. The hosts dissect the crowd's reaction, the possible off-script segments, and how these promos build tension. They mention Vince Russo and Stevie Richards' takes on these controversies as well. Additionally, Anthony and Joseph address the latest comments from Chris Jericho about his potential WWE return and his current situation in AEW. Other topics include Samantha Irvin's unexpected shift to music, Ricochet's WWE complaints, and more.00:00 Introduction and Weekly Recap00:25 Wrestling World Updates00:56 AEW's Decline and WWE's Stability02:42 Kenny Omega's Analogy06:57 Booker T's Response to Swerve18:20 Ricochet's Career Reflections24:52 Samantha Irvin's New Venture33:00 Generational Differences in Music Preferences34:02 The Struggles of Aspiring Musicians34:50 The Competitive Nature of the Music Industry37:53 Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair Promo Analysis43:43 The Role of Heels in Wrestling01:01:17 Chris Jericho's Potential Return to WWE01:05:31 Closing Remarks and Upcoming ShowsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.
