About this listen

The pro-wrestling podcast that tries to keep up with all the shows, storylines, returns, heel turns, face turns, work shoots, shoot works, and surprise debuts, but usually just ends up yelling a lot. While we may not cover everything, we’ll definitely overreact to the stuff we did manage to watch. Kayfabe? Broken. Logic? Optional. Wrestling? Always.

  • New Year in Pro-Wrestling 01-10-26
    Jan 10 2026

    New year. Same hot takes.

    The first Abdominal Stretch of the year asks the real questions:

    Did RAW live up to the hype?

    Is this the year MJF takes over?

    And what happens when Cody and Drew enter Three Stages of Hell?

    Let’s stretch.
