Ladies and Gentlemen: Elias. LOL JK. It’s a Murder City Shakedown!

So yeah. I’m glad we have Elias’ debut album, the first episode of Miz and Mrs., and the announcement of WWE Evolution to talk about this week. It sure beats the alternative: SummerSlam’s awful main event. We’re weeks away and hype has already hit rock bottom. Where do we go from here?

Featuring: ‘Super Jew’ Jared (@SuperJew75), ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek (@cap_kaveman), Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage / @schlizzag), and Bryan ‘Pipe Bomb’ Gregston (@guitarsalad).

Joshua Schlag

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!
