As maybe no one is wondering, there isn't an episode 3 of Wrestle Time up yet. As even fewer may wonder why I figured I would give a half-assed explanation.
We usually record Wrestle Time on a Friday or Saturday with it being released no later than Sunday. This week, however, James and I have been not feeling too well and the show's recording kept getting postponed. By Sunday morning, a few hours prior to Royal Rumble, we decided it would be pretty stupid to record a wrestling discussion before one of the biggest events of the year only for it to be released after said event. We had briefly flirted with the notion of recording immediately following the Rumble but that plan was quickly axed when I realized I have to go work at a daycare the next morning.
With that in mind we are skipping this week and will return next Friday with a show featuring our thoughts on the ppv as well as the segments we were planning on debuting this week.
So for anyone who might have been looking for a new episode, I apologize for the tardiness. Here is an amusing Dolph Ziggler related image to quell your pain:
Nick and James return with the second episode featuring actual wrestling discussion. Watch it below and we'll have a link to the audio version as soon as possible.
The guys actually watched wrestling this week so the show contained recaps from WWE and TNA television (and their opinions thereof) as well as the usual random quips and bad jokes.
With Royal Rumble coming up next week, past rumbles were mentioned. James talked about one in particular featuring Rhyno and Tajiri actually doing spots in the match (what a novel idea). Turns out it was Royal Rumble 2004 and Tajiri and Rhyno are in the first 10 minutes so here it is:
This episode also saw the debut of a new segment "Fact or Fiction" where the guys posed a statement and then decided if it was fact or fiction. One of the questions asked mentioned a brick and mortar Hall of Fame for WWE. Nick mentioned WWE Niagra Falls as a WWE flop but didn't mention a forgotten tidbit from WWF past, the WWF Hotel and Casino:
This episode is a bit longer than the last because as the show went on the conversation got a bit more interesting. James and Nick have said that next week they'll pick up where they left off on a few points as well as the debut of another segment.
Starting to seem like a real show now, huh?
