It's her party and she can bleed if she wants to! And apparently Risa Sera would like to bleed (this intro doubles as a content warning).

For the sixth episode of season eight, the gang is having a good, long look at a good, long match. It's the main event of Risa Sera 4th Product Last Death Match: the 60 Minute Iron Woman Gauntlet Death Match. Featuring kendo sticks, crowns of barbed wire, light tubes, baseball, snowboards, pasta (question mark), an egg yolk chugging contest, and more! 

Joining Joaquin, Frank and Chuck to apply some soft science is Eric Kuhr!

On the road to the Royal Rumble, which officially kicks off the road to WrestleMania, two familiar foes square off in the main event of WWE Smackdown Live. All that's on the line is bragging rights and the ever-important intangible: momentum. 

It's best two out of three falls, with managers barred from ringside. Rey Mysterio takes on Andrade (Cien Almas no more) in a follow-up match to the previous week's instant classic. 

Joining the team for this trip into the science lab is Nate Gray!

And yes, we apologize for mistakenly saying this match took place in 2017 on a few occasions. During quarantine, when recording from inside of your closet, time is a flat circle.

Two Bobby's, a Tommy and a Stan enter the UTC Arena. No, it's not the lineup for a cartoon character convention, it's the makeup of an NWA United States Tag Team Championship match featuring two of the hottest pairs of their era: The freshly arrived Fantastics challenge the dastardly Midnight Express who are in the middle of lengthy run as champions.

Though they wrestled at least a dozen times (in this run alone), this particular contest, taped in front of lively crowd in Chattanooga, was called an instant classic despite spanning five commercial breaks. One wonders how many California Raisins ads aired on TBS that day.

Joining the gang to help break down the action is Mike Mitchell (@SirMitchell)!
