WWE’s Night of Champions premium live event is now fully in the rearview mirror and we assume that all those Saudi checks have cleared, so it’s time to look at what happened on the other side of the globe, give our take on it, count up our picks, and speculate wildly on where creative goes from here. With a pair of crowns to decide the new king and queen of the ring, defense of both US championships, the WWE title on the line, and the championship of who gets to reign over the smoking wreckage of the most snakebitten faction in recent history… it was a full night. Let’s run it down in this, episode 253, Riyadh Rundown!

We make no secret that we are children of the seventies, steeped in the eighties, and emerged into something like adulthood in the nineties. Gen X through and through. Toss in our New England roots and it’s likely that along with the normal nihilistic bent of our latch-key kid compadres, we are also especially opinionated and hold all the requisite regional biases one could imagine. So we’re going to float out one of our oh-so-popular show gimmicks… and unpopular opinion. Ready or not, here it comes in this, episode 252, Bird Versus Goat – the 84-87 Boston Celtics were a better team than the 95-99 Chicago Bulls!

We know we’ve been a little wrestling heavy as of late… Okay, a LOT wrestling heavy as of late. So we’re going to swing to another extreme and dive into some flicks from the second year of the second-to-last decade of the twentieth century (you have no idea how much it both pained and aged me to speak that last sentence).

After WWE made the rather bold decision to split all their good and bad matches from WrestleMania onto separate nights, it felt like there was a bit of course correction happening with Backlash – an event that we both thought was better than expected. Since then, it’s been mostly, to quote the great Jim Cornette, the drizzling shits. So rather than spend another episode just complaining about it, we decided to become an active participant and tell you how we would being doing things. So we’re fantasy booking the wrestling season following Mania through SummerSlam in this, episode 250, Fantastical Booking!
