Genuine Wrestleboys

59: I Wish I Knew How To Quit You, Kevin

The 'boys are back with a bit of a half-sleepy/half-wired episode filled with a real weird energy if we're being totally honest. Despite that, they manage to run through this week in wrestling, including:

The baffling heel vs. face dynamics going on with both Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns on RAW and Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair on SmackDown. "Straight Fire" Becky Lynch's "Stone Cold" level potential. Baron Corbin vs. Paperwork. Returning nostalgia acts on the build to the Evolution PPV, the shittiness of using a male wrestler in Elias to build heat for a women's feud of Alexa Bliss vs. Trish Stratus that doesn't need any help doing that on its own, and the pros, cons, and unnecessary hate thrown at The Bella Twins. Samoa Joe's Violence BBQ. Plus, a whole lot of great from 205 Live and NXT as well!

Also, Zack geeks out over PROGRESS Wrestling and the multi-year Jimmy Havoc vs. Will Ospreay feud that came to an end this week. We look at the Mae Young Classic 2018 brackets. Finally, we preview All In ahead of Esai going to Chicago to see the biggest indie show in recent history in person!

58: The Summer of BRO

BRO! BRO! BRO! BRO! BRO! Get ready, because the 'boys are FEELIN' IT this week! Aka, this episode STARTS with Derek singing Hinder and pretty much stays at that level. The 'boys get into the huge weekend we had in wrestling with the chef-kiss perfection of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4, the mystifyingly specific and consistent booking of SummerSlam, plus the fallout this week on Raw, SmackDown, and 205 Live, as well as a look ahead to what we'll be seeing soon on NXT!

Including: A competently-booked babyface Roman Reigns Universal Title victory?! A BRO sighting! The Super Kick Murder of Ricochet by the Undisputed Adam Cole! Our Pirate Princess ascending the throne! Johnny Failure! Zack's Good Demon Dreams! WENDY! "Stone Cold" Becky Lynch! Kevin's burial! Some new champs! Some old friends! And the HUGE RETURN of our good ol' Braun's Gravy Fingees & Double Toilet bit!

57: Unfuckable Randy's Nasty Dick Hands

This is another big ol' episode this week, but hey, there's a whole lotta things to talk about! The Wrestleboys are joined by Jenna Kieta and Katie McBeth to look back at the week in wrestling. We discuss Dave Meltzer's shitty sexist comments, the overall response to them, and the double standard women in wrestling are held to compared to their male counterparts. We also talk about the unsurprisingly terrible and abusive dick-centric ongoing behavior of Randy Orton that came to light this week. Finally, the 'boys look ahead to the big weekend in wrestling by previewing NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4 and SummerSlam!

Happy Rusev Day!

56: Bask in the Classic

Bask in our episode length, friends, because this is our longest episode ever, and that's right, it's mostly about R-Truth.

We also find some time to talk about Paul Heyman's Oscar-bait segment of Raw, a former "Heyman Guy" being a very bad friend and disappointing us all, the excellent tag-team main event of SmackDown, big changes happening in NXT with only 1 week left before Takeover: Brooklyn 4, whether EC3 and Velveteen Dream wanna fuck or fight each other, the NXT debut of the best big big boy Keith Lee, get caught up on the G1 Climax Tournament in NJPW, and spend a bunch of time going through all 32 competitors in this year's Mae Young Classic Tournament, plus more!

We also get back to a Classic of our own with the next 4 matchups in our 2018 Wrestleboys Classic Tournament! The matchups this week are: Katsuyori Shibata vs. Johnny Gargano, William Regal vs. Tomohiro Ishii, Matt Riddle vs. Pete Dunne, and Kenny Omega vs. CM Punk.

Happy Rusev Day! We love you!

53: FUCK 'EM!

Chris, aka Todd, Chrisley? FUCK 'EM! Extreme Rules? FUCK 'EM! Horrendous writing for the WWE's women's division, especially Sasha Banks and Bayley? FUCK 'EM! Huge NXT spoilers? FUCK 'EM! WWE pulling the rug out from interesting booking by likely undoing it the very next night? FUCK 'EM! A racist piece of shit hot dog goblin fossil of a man being forgiven for something he's never adequately apologized for? FUCK 'EM!!!!!

Inspired by Bad Luck Fale's new hit catchphrase of the Summer 2018, and full of a whole lotta piss and vinegar, the 'boys are joined again by Jenna Kieta to discuss all the above reasons wrestling is making us mad this week. Don't worry though, because the 2018 Wrestleboys Classic Tournament is here to save the day and keep the fun alive! We keep the first round going with our next four match ups: Katsuyori Shibata vs. Shawn Michaels, Matt Riddle vs. Jimmy Havoc, William Regal vs. Nick Jackson, and Kenny Omega vs. Bret Hart!

52: Extreme Chili's Wrestling & Grill & Bar

What do Zack, Esai, and Asuka all have in common? They've all experienced pepper spray. Except, the Wrestleboys both did so as children inside a now-demolished Chili's in what could only be described as the strangest coincidental shared experience in history, and Asuka's was in the ring this week on SmackDown. 

Besides shared childhood trauma, the 'boys also discuss last week's New Japan show in San Francisco, Brock Lesnar being the absent dad of a wrestling champ he really is and showing up in the UFC (aka the family he left yours for), and preview WWE's Extreme Rules PPV this coming Sunday! 

They also continue working through the first round of the 2018 Wrestleboys Classic Tournament! The matchups this week are: Kevin Owens vs. Thommaso Ciampa, Ricochet vs. Andre the Giant, Nick Gage vs. Adam Cole, and Finn Balor vs. Tetsuya Naito!
