The off-season continues to keep it weird! This week, Joaquin moderates the first ever TIA Debate-a-Mania with Chuck and Producer Tom going head to head in a war of words scheduled for two topics.
First, your boys debate the merits of cheering favorites vs underdogs through the lens of a hypothetical match-up between Daniel Bryan and the Big Dog Roman Reigns.
Then, Chuck and Tom takes sides on the issue of Dolph Ziggler's career outlook. Should be stick it out in the WWE and see if he can crack the ceiling, or should he go the Cody route and explore new frontiers?
