Imagine that for over three seasons, you have podded about the best matches in wrestling. Then you walk away. When you return one off-season later, nothing is the same. 

Or nothing's changed at all, because your boys are back once again tackling one of the WWF's premiere heavy-hitter matches - it's Bret Hart vs Steve Austin from WrestleMania 13. We cover it all in this one, from double-turns and Ken Shamrock's surprising competence as a special guest referee to the location of Canada's belt line and the dangers of head-touching.

This week, joining your boys in the booth is writer, director and animator Tyson Hesse! (@tyson_hesse) 

Remember it's never too late to suggest some great matches for us to watch because there are always more episodes and seasons coming down the pike. Hit us up on twitter @TIAPOD or e-mail us at thisisawesomepod@gmail.com
