Look out! Our latest Let's Watch is hurtling down the road hitched to the back of a fifth wheeler and filled to the brim with haystacks and horse manure. That's right, we watched The Blacktop Bully vs Dustin Rhodes from WCW Uncensored 1995 and we invite you to join us.

Here's a fun game to play: how long does it take your boys to figure out the rules to this match? If you did it faster than we did, congratulations! Enjoy a croix.

Set your WWE Network copy of WCW Uncensored 1995 to the timecode 00:02:55 and listen to push play when we do. And don't think that timecode is an error - they OPENED the PPV with this dern thing.

On this week's off-season offering, your boys are in listicle mode as they gather together once again in the studio to rank each and every Raw theme, starting all the way back with the original 1993 classic.

On this journey, strange alliances will be formed & broken, multiple co-hosts will come to the defense of Nickelback, and Joaquin will desperately try to get his patent pending SLAP theme rating system over.

Most wrestling fans are aware of WWE's tourist trap slash eat-a-torium WWF New York (aka The World), but did you know that WCW also dipped their toes into running a themed restaurant? Well they did. And your boys pulled up the menu to see how many bad puns Eric Bischoff's chefs could come up with.

On this week's off-season episode, Joaquin, Chuck and Producer Tom dive deep into the menu of WCW's Las Vegas restaurant: The WCW Nitro Grill. Where the Big Boys Eat!
