About this episode


COLD OPEN QUESTION OF THE WEEK: WrestleMania's one week away—if only one singles wrestler retains their title, who will it be (0:59)?

David and Kaz kick off the show by discussing which match outcome would send the crowd home the most unhappy at WrestleMania (6:56). Then they discuss the following

  • Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair’s promo made their match must-see TV (17:25).
  • Roman Reigns–CM Punk–Seth Rollins: the most interesting main event in WrestleMania history (33:15)?
  • Will The Rock and John Cena send the crowd home unhappy if they take down Cody Rhodes (43:29)?
  • AEW issued $400,000 to Will Ospreay, Mark Briscoe, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, and Kevin Knight—but will they follow up on it (52:36)?

Then they welcome the Best There Is, the Best There Was, and the Best There Ever Will Be, Bret “The Hitman” Hart, to talk about his match with Stone Cold Steve Austin getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame (75:36). He also gets into the following:

  • Growing up as a wrestling fan and how that set him apart from everyone else (96:45).
  • Being told he was going to lose the WWE title the night before WrestleMania IX (1:45:30).
