This week's episode is a return to the world of CMLL and the stakes couldn't be higher - it's Lucha de Apuestas with both competitor's beautiful, flowing locks on the line. This is the main event of CMLL's Homenaje a Dos Leyendas 2016, and we're watching the incredible Volador Jr battle the ageless Negro Casas.

Oh, and Tirantes is there too. Yay.

Joining your hosts this week to help apply the (patent pending) STAR Rating system to this match is Brandon Huggett!

At the halfway point of season 7 your boys are once again turning their critical eye toward NXT, this time discussing a match that marked an historic first in World Wrestling Entertainment: NXT Women's Champion Asuka defends her title against Sanity's Nikki Cross in the first ever Last Woman Standing Match.

This dangerous stipulation will test the mettle of both woman and find out which will be able to take a beating and continue, and which won't be able to answer the official's ten count. While the chaos of the situation seems to favor NXT's Twisted Sister, The Empress of Tomorrow is in the middle of a dominant undefeated streak that seems impossible to break.

And donning the 4th lab coat for this week's application of dubious scientific methodology is this episode's special guest Brian Moyer!

Tell me doctor, where are we going this time?
Is this the 50s or is it Dominion 6.11 in Osaka-Jo Hall?

Oh what's that? It's EXACTLY Dominion 6.11 in Osaka-Jo Hall? Then we must be firing up our flux capacitor and travelling back to 2017 because on this week's episode your boys are having a critical look at the underappreciated junior heavyweight classic between champion Hiromu Takahashi and challenger KUSHIDA.

Will KUSHIDA be able to overcome the pains of his humiliating 116 second defeat to Takahashi that spring, or is TIME UP for KUSHIDA's run as the ace of the junior heavyweight division?

Sliding in on a hoverboard to help your boys analyze the match is director Zack Sekuler! (https://www.zacksekuler.com/)
