EPISODE #030 - SECRET WEDDINGS/BULLYING IN THE WORLD OF WRESTLING/WWE SUPERSTAR SHAKEUP

This news-heavy week becomes a response-heavy week as our heroes Daryn and Perry tackle secret marriages, contract rejections, mayoral races, concussions and hematomas! Dean Ambrose, Renee Young, Alberto Del Rio, Kane, Finn Balor, Kazuchika Okada and Katsuyori Shibata are your headline makers for this week in the wild world of pro-wrestling. Oh, and JBL. As JBL and news of his sick, sad behavior crowded the ticker this week, it became more and more essential for this podcast to address the heavy and disturbing circumstances surrounding the media explosion about bullying, as perpetrated by the former World Champion turned commentator. So, equipped with the best knowledge available, Daryn and Perry dig into this hot-button issue, naming names and pulling no punches. The incredibly unsettling behaviors of bullying and hazing in general are discussed by the boys, with a focus on the outrageous and mind-blowing understanding that this practice is allowed, condoned and possibly even encouraged in a billion-dollar, publicly-traded corporation, well into the 21st-century. Dear listeners, all of the allegations of sexual assault, mistreatment of employees with mental conditions, and decades of abuse disguised as fraternal "ribbing" are broken down into the essential facts of perversity and criminal activity. As you might imagine, we are calling this one right down the middle.

The second half of the show luckily does have a much lighter tone! This week's WWE Superstar Shakeup made massive changes to the landscape of the great wrestling monopoly. Big names, including champions, jumped from RAW to Smackdown Live and vice versa, and suddenly 2017 looks like a very different year in the WWE. Our guys discuss every roster change and what it may mean for the brands, the championships, the careers of individuals, and the booking, and it ain't pretty! Don't miss this landmark episode!
