124 - When TV is PPVs 07/20/2020

124 - When TV is PPVs The #goodfriends return to talk about a slew of red-hot TV specials from AEW and NXT, TV good enough to outshine actual PPVs. Plus thoughts on Paul Heyman's exit from WWE creative, EVIL's big win in New Japan, and if Bruce Prichard or anyone at WWE is capable of creating a moment as dramatic as we witnessed at NJPW Dominion. The guys also dish on when they would feel comfortable returning to a movie theatre, and share some thoughts ahead of Impact's Slammiversary and WWE's Extreme Rules cards (sorry for the delay, it was my birthday). /episode/index/show/topmarks/id/15289484

UNLOCKED: Bonus Marks - 7 - King of the Ring 1995 UNLOCKED: Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of this horrendous PPV, easily the worst thing we've been forced to watch to date. And to celebrate that history, this special Bonus Marks has been unleashed from behind the paywall. Enjoy! The #goodfriends are back in action for the red hot return of Bonus Marks! We finally dive in to King of the Ring 1995, a punishingly bad pay-per-view that highlights a real low point in wrestling. We hated watching this, so that you may enjoy hearing about it.
