In Episode 19 of This Is Not a Shoot Podcast, the crew returns with all the fan-favorite segments, more questionable opinions, and a few new twists to keep things spicy. From Zack Ryder’s return to controversial crowns, we’re cooking on all fronts — and yes, Stephen’s list is back to ruin everything.

• 👑 Ring Queens
  A new queen is crowned — and not without drama.
  Whether you’re cheering or throwing a shoe at your screen, this week’s pick brought the heat and the discourse.
  Let’s just say the debate didn’t end when the mics cut off.

  We don’t know how he keeps getting away with this, but here we are.

  Woo Woo Woo… you know the rest.
  We talk fantasy booking, dream matchups, and why the glow-up is real.

• 🐎 Saddle Up or Buck Off – Debate Edition
  We changed the format a bit — now it’s more debate-style, less “just agree or move on.”
  It made things louder, longer, and honestly, way more fun.
  Somebody got bucked off for a take so bad we almost walked out.

• 💸 We Buy Stuff
  It’s back.
  We bought things. We judged each other. We probably made bad financial decisions.
  That’s showbiz, baby.

• 🧠 Weird AF
  This week’s trip into wrestling absurdity involves… race shenanigans.
  It’s weird. It’s uncomfortable. It’s real.
  Also, why was that even a segment on live television? Yikes.

• ⚔️ Battlegrounds
  Fantasy warfare got real again — big personalities, dream showdowns, and enough ego to fuel a WrestleMania pre-show.

• Cody roasting a company (again)

• Stephen defending the indefensible

No segments. No structure. No rules.
Just three dudes talking wrestling, life, and whatever else came to mind.

In Episode 18 of This Is Not a Shoot Podcast, we took a break from our usual chaos and just riffed — everything from the current state of WWE and AEW to personal stories, what’s been inspiring us lately, and the kind of honest conversation that reminds you why we started this show in the first place.

It’s unfiltered, unscripted, and unexpectedly real (but still full of sarcasm and hot takes, don’t worry).

• CM Punk’s run as World Heavyweight Champion

• What’s next for Roman Reigns

• The rise of women’s wrestling (and who’s still underrated)

• AEW’s momentum (or lack of it)

• Our wildest wrestling memories

• Behind-the-scenes podcast updates

• Life updates, side quests, and way too many jokes

Sometimes you just need to talk. No scripts. No countdowns.
Just wrestling, friendship, and whatever comes out of Cowboy Cody’s mouth.

Cowboy Cody vs. Dr. Stephen.
The tension? Thick.
The insults? Ruthless.
The energy? Straight-up blood feud.

In Episode 17 of This Is Not a Shoot Podcast, the studio nearly implodes as Cody and Stephen go to war with each other from start to finish. The rivalry is real, the jabs are sharp, and somehow Garrett’s just trying to hold the mic and keep the show on track (fail).

• 👑 Ring Queens
  The crown changed hands again, and you know it wasn’t without controversy.
  A new queen rises, but not without backlash.
  The arguments were loud. The opinions were stronger than a steel chair to the face.
  Dr. Stephen might still be salty — tune in and decide if the right woman got the throne.

• 🧠 Weird AF
  This week’s bizarre trip into the wrestling abyss featured… a mole.
  Not like a spy. Like, a real mole. We’re not proud of what happened here, but we are entertained.
  You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll question why this segment exists.

• 💥 Booked or Cooked
  All Ego Ethan Page gets his flowers this week — and honestly, it’s well deserved.
  We break down a few current storylines, but Ethan stole the show (and maybe a spot in our fantasy booking hearts).
  Not everything made it out cooked though... someone’s getting burned.

• 🐎 Saddle Up or Buck Off
  Cody and Stephen should be banned from this segment together, but instead we gave them mics and let them fight it out.
  Between the jokes, the actual wrestling takes, and a few ridiculous analogies, this one ended up being hilarious and surprisingly sharp.
  One of them may have bucked off an entire company. Again.

• ⚔️ Battlegrounds
  This week’s fantasy face-off was iconic:
  A modern-day superstar who screams “YEAH!” takes on a stunning wrestling legend.
  No holds barred. No bad takes spared.
  It’s charisma vs. legacy, and the result may surprise you.

• 🧠 Bonus Scoop
  Did we mention that Cowboy Cody and Garrett are becoming WRESTLERS?!
  That’s right — training is underway, gear is being designed, and gimmicks are being cut on sight.
  This podcast might just step into the ring for real… and we’ve got the scars (and delusions) to prove it.

• Real wrestling talk hidden between jokes

• The most passive-aggressive episode yet

• Cody yelling “it’s a shoot, brother!” at least twice

• Stephen threatening to walk out (again)

• Garrett playing peacekeeper and failing miserably

• Possibly our best (or worst?) episode yet

💬 Join the war in the comments:

• Who won the Ring Queens crown?

• Was Cody right to praise Ethan Page?

• Should Dr. Stephen be suspended for constant hating?

• And who wins the Battleground: Mr. “Yeah” or the Stunning One?
