We're all spending a lot more time at home these days, so of course that means we also have a lot more time to watch classic wrestling. With that in mind, Joaquin, Frank and Chuck have put together a collection of "comfort food" pay per view suggestions for anyone looking for a full show to watch with some good, easily digestible wrestling.
Send your suggestions to us @TIAPOD on twitter or at thisisawesomepod@gmail.com
On this week's all-remote off-season episode, your boys are hanging out in their studios and/or closets and putting a new spin on a classic repackaging game. Hosted by Joaquin, it's time to play What's...The...Gimmick!
Inspired by The Revolt nee Revival releasing the WWE's proposed gear change to Twitter, Frank and Chuck will go head to head. Each is given a group of wrestlers and various accessories and articles of clothing and tasked with coming up with a brand new gimmick for them. FTR!
Welcome to Watching the Elite Classic (episode 24)!
To celebrate Being the Elite episode 200, Joaquin, Frank & Chuck spin up the old format and watch the backyard brawl between those Jackson boys that marks the milestone of for years as the internet's favorite youtube pro wrestling show.

We kick off this truncated off-season by trying to look on the bright side. So often in wrestling, people focus on the negative. The Dark Side of the Ring immediately comes to mind.
But what if I told you there was a different side of the ring? In this episode, your boys are pitching a season of a different kind of wrestling docuseries.
We present to you: The Light Side of the Ring.

Final thoughts and tie breakers are the subject of the day on this finale episode of season 7. With two major decisions to be made, we've invited original Muscle Temple member Jamie Dee Galey to come in to the virtual studio and help us with match placement on the big board.
The ties are:
S7E10 Jericho vs Omega - WrestleKingdom 12
S6E5 Triple H vs Cactus Jack - WWF Royal Rumble 2000
S4E8 The Young Bucks vs The World's Cutest Tag Team - PWG
AND
S7E7 Piper vs Bret - WrestleMania 8
S7E4 KUSHIDA vs Hiromu Takahashi - Dominion 6.11 2017
In the last match of season 7, we take a sharp look at the Chris Jericho match chosen by our very special adjudicator from last week's gauntlet - the Alpha's Wrestle Kingdom 12 brawling epic against 'The Cleaner' Kenny Omega.
It only took 70 episodes to finally cover a match from Jericho, so we are sure to also spend at least 5 minutes talking about the musical sensation Cats!
This week's special guest is returning favorite Ben Mekler! (@benmekler #MortalPodkast)
Apologies for any audio issues on this one - this was our first-ever episode recorded entirely remote.

Back to Kuroken Hall, back to AJPW, but this time we're diving into something a little more contemporary. For the first time the gang will be discussing the somewhat divisive Kento Miyahara as we look at a main event contest from early 2019.
The Ace of All Japan Pro Wrestling Kento Miyahara defends his Triple Crown Heavyweight Title against challenger KAI. Will this be the first defense in a long 4th reign as Champion for the Miyahara, or will the King of Freedom finally climb to the top of the mountain?
And joining the team for this episode to add some data to our informal research project is Bryan Condon! (@BryanCondon)

We're back from our unintentionally long hiatus with a wild brawl for the WWWA World Tag Team Championships. It's Mima Shimoda & Etsuko Mita (the despicable, very loud LCO) vs Kumiko Maekawa & Tomoko Watanabe (the champions, U*Tops) in a 2 out of the 3 falls match-up that makes full use of the arena and is chock full of plunder.
Colorful chairs, crimsons masks, some incredible innovative offense and Joaquin turning heel on Kumiko Maekawa make this episode an instant classic.
Joining the insanity this week to break down all of the action is Jeff Trammell! (@MrJeffTrammell)
