Over the first five episodes of Kris' tenure on The NXT Wrestling Fan, MeganBob whiffed every attempt to predict the next big thing in the story of NXT. For reasons that we assure you are reasons, that has resulted in nearly two hours of Bob and Kris talking about Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew!, an obscure yet beloved funny animal superhero comic published by DC in the early 1980's. Rather than boring you with the origin story of this bonus episode, we'll just tell you that many DC Comjcs tropes are explained, many animal puns are uttered, many low-key quacks are quacked, and the word "sexecutioner" unexpectedly comes up. What are you waiting for? Let this strange episode into your ears so it can punch you directly in the brain!

There are many things to note about the NXT go-home show that originally aired on February 4th, 2015 but chief among them is that Corey Graves is a man with things to get off his chest and observations to make. Highly specific observations. We make some observations of our own in this episode covering topics as diverse as: Angry bubble lady Insignificant sample sizes Pokebutt The Gil Gunderson of NXT Efforts Tasting Note for Submission Holds High Dollar Adjectives BETTER THAN RAW! BETTER THAN RAW! More Bullwinkle Than You'd Suspect The Coup de Grâce cocktail Our theme song is called "Learnbuckle" and it was created by the uniquely talented Rafael Medina, whose work you can and should follow via his Twitter account, @EarthMeauxFaux!

The episode of NXT that originally aired on January 28th, 2015 leaves us with a lot to think about and a lot to feel because it's contract signing time between Kevin Owen and Sami Zayn!

The episode of NXT that originally aired on January 21st, 2015 didn't intend to teach us a new word, but in our defense, Afrikaans words are simpler to spell on an American keyboard than 'Coup de Grâce' is. Not that we don't love a circumflex around here. Other things we loved and just generally had emotions about include:
Day job promo packages Is William Regal a Spring Excited about brackets Deferral of inevitability Ulnar Nerve Manipulation Murder Chalk Treat yourself to a Bargument An Ode to Dinosaur Training Steak Fight The deadly Fucktapus Some beautiful hands "You too, Princess."Our theme song is called "Learnbuckle" and it was created by the uniquely talented Rafael Medina, whose work you can and should follow via his Twitter account, @EarthMeauxFaux!

The NXT Wrestling Fan returns in roughly six weeks to tell the tale of Sami Zayn's journey through Golden Age NXT! In the meantime, we have to say goodbye to one of our very oldest friends here on the podcast. We also say hello to the new permanent (and familiar) co-host that will guide us through to the conclusion of The NXT Wrestling Fan.
As we work to prepare the next arc of the show, you'll have 3-4 bonus episodes on the feed covering a bit of AEW and giving you plenty of wrestling hilarity to enjoy while waiting for the return of the regular show.
Kris Newton and I are thrilled to be working on this and we can't wait to bring you Zayn's NXT story in the coming months!

Real talk: When I (Miles) originally started talking to MeganBob about doing this podcast, I knew that two things needed to happen: We needed to start with Sami Zayn's debut, and we needed to, at the very least, make it to NXT Takeover: R Evolution. Getting past R Evolution would be great (and don't worry, we will) but as long as we made it there, it would be enough. And now we're here, and I can't express how happy I am that we've gone on this journey. And I would never IN A MILLION YEARS have dreamed of being able to talk Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and R Evolution with the one and only Mith.
If you're not familiar with Mith's work, that's something I highly recommend you change, whether it be via the famed Mith Gifs Twitter account or their essays on The Spectacle of Excess. I don't know that I've ever encountered a better writer on the subject of professional wrestling, and trust me, I have encountered most of them. If you want to be FULLY versed on the stuff we're talking about today, your light reading assignment is this essay on Sami Zayn's Road to Redemption, or, for the more ambitious among you, the 20-part series on the history of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, which you can follow in order thanks to the links at the bottom of each essay as long as you start with the first one. I cannot possibly recommend these highly enough for anybody interested in these two characters, or just interested in reading great non-fiction writing.
Anyway, we are so honored and thrilled that Mith was able to join us to discuss all things R Evolution, and I'm so happy that you get to hear it! Please enjoy, and be sure to stick around until the end of the episode for important announcements about the future of this podcast!

We're almost there. We're SO CLOSE. And we have so many appetizers to dig into before the main course! The episode of NXT that originally aired on December 4th, 2014, is the go-home show for NXT Takeover: R Evolution, and while other feuds are fractionally furthered and we take delight in various small moments througout the show, it's the final confrontation between Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville that blows us away. Topics of conversation for this episode include:
Bayley acting wildly out of character and being rightfully punished Simon Gotch dueling a lion Kevin Owens and the cracking open of the door between WWE and the independent scene The unfathomably erotic thrill of William Regal calling you "flower" Finn Balor is coming with something we've never seen before (is it his dick? How could it possibly be his dick? But also, how could it possibly not?) Character growth, evolution, and the moments in which professional wrestling is at its absolute best Bowser leaves town (and Bowsette arrives)Our theme song is called "Learnbuckle" and it was created by the uniquely talented Rafael Medina, whose work you can and should follow via his Twitter account, @EarthMeauxFaux!

The episode of NXT that originally aired on November 27th, 2014, is...strangely devoid of Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville? Huh. That's kind of weird for this time period. But it's still compelling, as we get to catch up on a few of NXT's other storylines, with developments that include:
The Continued Adventures Of Jason Jordan, Wrestling Detective Tyler Breeze and Marcus Louis suddenly being fanfic material Blue Pants' lack of theme music Dueling with bear footage Finn Balor and Natalya continue to just be ridiculously hot Our first glimpse at Kevin Owens (!!!)
