31:17 - AEW All Out 2023

01:14:21 - Outro

Another busy weekend of wrestling saw both WWE and AEW run pay per views for the wrestling world and our hosts Jeremy Graves and The Dekker Dane decide to do a bit of show and tell where they each review a show.

The Dekker Dane talks about WWE Payback, dubbed seemingly a filler episode of WWE storytelling with the odd highlight in the form of Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus in a steel cage and a chaotic street fight between The Judgement Day and Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

Following a newsworthy week, for mostly CM Punk reasons, Jeremy Graves sees if this year's All Out can end up beind a sweet ending after a chaotic few days for the promotion. With the return of Bryan Danielson against Ricky Starks, Miro and Powerhouse Hobbs smacking "meat" and the International Championship headlining, how will All Out be remembered?

But the wrestling doesn't stop there as they make some very quick predictions for WWE Payback 2023 - a show that might have been a slight afterthought, all recent developments considered, but might have some great potential!

Inspired by WrestleMania Goes Hollywood, BunkaMania Wrestling is taking its own trip to the movies. The Dekker Dane hosts the first of four special audio-only episodes where he and a tag team partner take a retrospective look at a WWE Studios movie.

Our first episode takes a look at 2007's The Condemned starring Stone Cold Steve Austin as a death-row inmate who finds himself being forced into a battle royale fight to the death with eight other convicts. As Dekker and Jeremy grapple with the film, they talk about Stone Cold's acting career, the early days of video streaming, and importantly - is this film any good?
