Pro wrestler “The Kingpin” Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett have a ton to talk about this week! A HOSS FIGHT is breaking out on the podcast as we talk about big men in wrestling, then and now. Brian shares very personal stories of his experiences as an “atypical” body type in the wrestling business. Then, there’s the news of Jericho vs. Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 12, and we give our thoughts. From there, we get into the WWE releases last week and share our feelings on a friend that is one of the people moving on. And finally, the joyous celebration of Crockett’s birthday featuring many special guests calling in to offer their… “well-wishes”. Also in this episode, the Promo About Nothing answers the question, “Who is that masked man?”, why turning the clocks back is a curse in the Milonas household, and which title does he think he’s winning this week?

Pro wrestler “The Kingpin” Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett are – surprise surprise – reviewing a second pay-per-view in a row! With these matches on top, maybe we had it confused with WrestleMania. It’s WWE RAW’s No Mercy, and on this night, no mercy was shown on Roman Reigns, on Cesaro’s teeth and on Braun’s push. We take you through the entire event from start to… well, from after Crockett was able to get the Network rolling, to finish. And speaking of finishes, how many is too many? We discuss. Plus, the Warrior runs mild in this week’s Promo About Nothing, Milonas beats the Meat…Man, and The Kingpin picks a fight with UFC’s Tom Lawlor!
