This week, we dive deep into the entire Bloodline storyline. From Roman Reigns' return to the company during the COVID pandemic in August 2020, to Sami Zayn turning on him at last week's Royal Rumble, we cover it all to truly put in perspective what an all-time professional wrestling storyline this will wind up being in the history books.

352: WWF Royal Rumble 2000 Deep Dive

We sure will "Remember the Rumble" from 2017 in the Alamodome for... being one of the most boring Rumbles of all time. What's not boring is our takes on it, so press that play button as we dive deep into the 2017 WWE Royal Rumble. Cena ties Flair! Jericho in a shark cage! More!
But first, we start off on a somber note and pay tribute to one of the most influential professional wrestlers of all time, Jamin Pugh, better known as Jay Briscoe.

CLASSIC 23: Live Commentary of the 1992 WWF Royal Rumble Match

One of Nick's favorite Royal Rumbles, probably because it's the first one he's ever seen live, is now available on all listening platforms!
Nick and Vaughn dive deep into the 1991 Royal Rumble during a time where tensions were high in the Persian Gulf, so quite a few patriotic factors were in play here. Sgt. Slaughter beat a decked out in red, white, and blue Ultimate Warrior for the WWF Championship, Virgil turned on Ted DiBiase, and Hulk Hogan RUMBLED ALL OVER 29 other men.
We discuss it all in this classic episode, our 1991 WWF Royal Rumble deep dive!

349: Vince McMahon... IS BACK? And Our 2023 Wrestling Predictions

It was arguably the most anticipated wrestling pay-per-view of all-time, and it marked the beginning of the end for WCW.
The end product looked nothing like what was built up beforehand. The terrible finish, rash of injuries plaguing the roster causing massive card changes, bad timing, bad commentary, bad refereeing, just bad everything happened that night on December 28, 1997.

WARGAMES is SOON and Nick and Vaughn travel back to 1998 WCW to dive deep into Fall Brawl!
It's mayhem in WarGames in this one, as there are three teams of three... but it's really every man for himself. The Warrior is here! Bret Hart is here! Roddy Piper is here! Hogan is here! DDP is here!
It's quite the event that had some wonky finishes, especially in the Brother vs. Brother tilt between Scott and Rick Steiner. Saturn vs. Raven! Jericho vs. Goldberg!? PRESS PLAY!
