Bonus Episode 9 - Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew
The NXT Wrestling Fan
Over the first five episodes of Kris' tenure on The NXT Wrestling Fan, MeganBob whiffed every attempt to predict the next big thing in the story of NXT. For reasons that we assure you are reasons, that has resulted in nearly two hours of Bob and Kris talking about Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew!, an obscure yet beloved funny animal superhero comic published by DC in the early 1980's. Rather than boring you with the origin story of this bonus episode, we'll just tell you that many DC Comjcs tropes are explained, many animal puns are uttered, many low-key quacks are quacked,...

The NXT Wrestling Fan
There are many things to note about the NXT go-home show that originally aired on February 4th, 2015 but chief among them is that Corey Graves is a man with things to get off his chest and observations to make. Highly specific observations. We make some observations of our own in this episode covering topics as diverse as: Angry bubble lady Insignificant sample sizes Pokebutt The Gil Gunderson of NXT Efforts Tasting Note for Submission Holds High Dollar Adjectives BETTER THAN RAW!

87 - 5 Flowers Out of Several
The NXT Wrestling Fan
The episode of NXT that originally aired on January 21st, 2015 didn't intend to teach us a new word, but in our defense, Afrikaans words are simpler to spell on an American keyboard than 'Coup de Grâce' is. Not that we don't love a circumflex around here. Other things we loved and just generally had emotions about include: Day job promo packages Is William Regal a Spring Excited about brackets Deferral of inevitability Ulnar Nerve Manipulation Murder Chalk Treat yourself to a Bargument An Ode to Dinosaur Training Steak Fight The deadly Fucktapus Some beautiful hands "You too,...
