Manage episode 464641010 series 1283773
Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week that was January 29-February 4, 2005. Topics of discussion include:
- The second WrestleReunion going down in Tampa, and what a weekend it was, as legends and current wrestlers competed on a star-studded show, but Lex Luger's antics ended up being the biggest story to come out of it.
- Dusty Rhodes' status as the head booker in TNA being questionable at best.
- Hiroyoshi Tenzan's body falling apart at the exact worst possible time.
- A wacky angle involving Jose Estrada and his son Julio in WWC.
- Dr. Keith Lipinski sending in a report about a fun lucha libre show in Chicago.
- Bill Goldberg's hatred of WWE at the time.
- A full rundown of the 2005 Royal Rumble PPV featuring John Heidenreich and Gene Snitsky being manly with each other, Batista and John Cena fucking up the big finish to the Rumble match, and Vince McMahon tearing both his quads in when he hit the ring in a fit of anger over said finish.
- Full Raw and Smackdown rundowns, as Triple H tries (and fails) to play Batista, among other things.
All that and much more on a pretty wild show, so check it out!!!!
