Brooklyn Brooklyn! This episode is one of mystic wonder as magician's assistants Joaquin, Frank and Chuck take notes on one of the top women's wrestling matches in WWE history, Sasha Banks vs Bayley for the NXT Women's Championship at NXT Takeover Brooklyn.

Helping us pull back the curtain and reveal the magical secrets of wrestling*  is comedian Annelise Dekker-Hernandez! Watch along with us and maybe we'll all learn a thing or two together.

 

*Disclaimer: Joaquin, Frank and Chuck know absolutely nothing about the secrets of wrestling or anything else for that matter. Also sorry this episode was late, the file uploaded weird.

It is the year 1991, Wrestlemania VII, and careers are on the line as the Ultimate Warrior takes on The Macho Man Randy Savage in wrestling's greatest (only?) love story. Joaquin, Frank and Chuck get the waterworks going in what can only be described as wrestling's greatest love story.

Dabbing at our tears is Josie Campbell, sketch writer for the Disney XD animated series Right Now Kapow.

Look up in the sky! It's a Superman joke! Actually, that would be much more pleasant. Instead it’s Mick Foley readying himself for one of a multitude of terrible landings and damn near killing himself. Join Joaquin, Chuck and Frank as they investigate possibly the most iconic match ever wrestled in the WWE. Joining our investigators this episode is none other than comic artist and story-boarder for Adventure Time, Sam Alden!

Warning: Episode features around 10 minutes of commentary per wrestling move.

A truth held most self-evident is NO ONE gets higher than Rob Van Dam... other than perhaps his greatest rival, Mr. JL himself, Jerry Lynn. Watch along with Chuck, Frank and Joaquin, then let's sit backwards on our chairs and rap about Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn from ECW's Hardcore Heaven 99 for the ECW Television Championship. Joining us at the Olympics to score the high-jump is reformed wrestling fan and creator of Ora.TV's Wayward Nation Mikey McManus.
