SFW Episode 12: The Saga of Sami Zayn

Pardon the interruption (and crazy delay) but the fine Southern gentleman have finally returned with a new episode. While the next part of their Hall of Fame discussion will still be coming, Ed and Caden wanted to take some time to give their thoughts on what's currently been the hottest story in WWE - The Bloodline and particularly one Sami Zayn. The gents give their opinions on the story as a whole with a struggle of a recap, some musings over the reception its gotten, and ultimately reach the Elimination Chamber match where they answer the most important question: will this be another one of those missed opportunities like what was discussed all the way back on the first episode(s)? Listen and laugh along with them while also giving them a follow on wherever you are listening.

SFW Episode 11: Hall of Fame (Part 1 of 2)

Ed and Caden are back with a little post-Thanksgiving treat for all the loyal listeners. Once again, the scripts get tossed in favor of having a discussion about the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame. Join the show as the gentlemen give their thoughts on what makes a "Hall of Famer", whether the balloting process works, and of course who are the folks on the current ballot they believe belong in that upper echelon. For a very raw show, it was so fun that it has to be broken up into two parts again so follow along for the second half (coming soon. . . hopefully).

SFW Episode 10: We Have to Talk About CM Punk

We can't catch a break here, in more ways than one. As Ed and Caden were planning to resume their normal discussion of shenanigans and tomfoolery, AEW's own CM Punk decided to drop another "pipebomb" on the wrestling landscape at the All Out presser. After the dust settled a bit, the guys broke down what happened, what we know, and what our thoughts are on what led to what could be a make or break moment in the history of this young company. Feel free to give a listen, subscribe, comment, and share with friends!
