This week, the gang gets together to chat about Extreme Rules – coming to you this Sunday from Baltimore – only on the WWE Network! Though you’d think we would spend a fair bit of time talking about kendo sticks and steel cages, we spent a fair bit of time looking at the state of storytelling and character development in WWE presently – and we hope you’ll enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

Featuring: ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek (@cap_kaveman), Psyniac (@rawispsyniac), ‘A Bomb’ Adam Hess (@ahess49), ‘The Beast from the Middle East’ Darrell Johnson (@zazzumplop), and Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage / @schlizzag).

For most of the last 30+ years of my life, I've been watching WWE. As a kid, Monday Night Raw hooked me from the start. From Bret Hart and Razor Ramon, to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.. I've witnessed the ups and downs and I'm proud to have enjoyed pro wrestling through the years.

Though I now watch in a much different fashion than I did when I was a kid (finding out Vince McMahon was the owner and Jack Tunney no more than a figurehead was like finding out Santa Claus did not exist), I feel like I have a much greater appreciation for the hard work pro wrestlers do and the things they sacrifice to entertain us.

It's still real to me, dammit!
