This episode is dedicated to two individuals who tragically lost their lives in a drunk-driving accident. We discuss the WWE event, Bash in Berlin, which we describe as a home run. The matches and the electric crowd. Triple H's role in WWE and his understanding of the need for wrestlers to take time off for injuries and personal reasons is important and we addressed that. We highlight the match between Kevin Owens and Cody as the match of the year. The dynamics of Owens' character speak for themselves and maybe the possibility of a future heel turn? The Strap Match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre was brutal and exciting and we speculate on the future of their feud and suggest that it may culminate in a Hell in a Cell match. The conversation covers various matches and storylines in professional wrestling, focusing on the recent WWE and AEW events. The main themes include the performance and reputation of CM Punk, the potential for future matches and rivalries, the talent and potential of the Terror Twins (Damien Priest and Rhea Ripley), the importance of clean wins and avoiding politics in wrestling, and the overall excitement and enjoyment of the shows.

SummerSlam 2024 in Cleveland was an amazing show in Bear Man's opinion, but his counterpart felt the the opposite. Mr. Braverman felt SummerSlam was a disappointing event, with several matches falling short of expectations. He believes the show was marred by politics and questionable booking decisions. The Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley match was lackluster, with too much interference and a predictable outcome. The match between Bron Breakker and Sami Zayn was a squash match that didn't live up to its potential. The LA Knight vs. Logan Paul match was forgettable, and the Bailey vs. Nia Jax match was filled with politics and ended in a disappointing result. The CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre match had a big fight feel but failed to deliver. The conversation revolves around the analysis and critique of the SummerSlam event. The main themes discussed include the disappointment with the involvement of referees in matches, the missed opportunities for better storytelling, the repetition of storylines and matches, and the negative impact of politics on the quality of the show.
