I'm sorry. I love you.

So grab a box of tissues and settle in for one of the most emotional matches in WrestleMania history. It's a "Career Threatening Match" for hall of famer Ric Flair as he takes on Mr. WrestleMania himself: Shawn Michaels. Who will prevail in this battle between The Nature Boy (age: 59) and The Heartbreak Kid (age: 42)?

And joining your hosts this week to view her first ever wrestling match from bell to bell is actress and model Brittany Brown (@brittbrownmeow)

Even though the season is winding down you can still send in awesome match suggestions at thisisawesomepod@gmail.com or @TIAPOD on twitter.

And of course you can find all things TIA at our landing page thisisawesomepod.com

No, this isn't leaked footage of next week's episode of NXT - but we wouldn't fault you for thinking that. This week Joaquin, Frank and Chuck are heading to beautiful Reseda, CA to watch TIA's very first PWG match. It's Chris Hero vs Tommy End from all the way back in 2015! Of course, this match was live from American Legion Post #308 so to get the authentic PWG experience be sure to turn off the AC, grab a pitcher of Croix and pile you and 400 of your closest friends into your living room.

Joining in the fray this episode is Doug Keller of the amazing nonprofit Big Class (bigclass.org)

Remember, season 3 might be almost over but there WILL BE a season 4 so we still need match suggestions. Shoot them to us @TIAPOD or at thisisawesomepod@gmail.com

And of course you can find all things TIA at thisisawesomepod.com

It's an epic battle of the hosses as the Bad Man from Borger, Texas trades massive, gladiator-like blows with the man they call Dr. Death. So grab your singlets and your cowboy hats and join Joaqiun, Frank and Chuck as they see who will be crowned Gaijin #1!

And coming in hot through the crowd this week to help break it all down is actor and voice-voice over artist Brian Ibsen!

Remember, we want to know what awesome matches you want us to watch so send us suggestions via twitter @TIAPOD or at thisisawesomepod@gmai.com
