S6E10: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock w/Ryan Saucier

CREDIT: WWE NETWORK

It's the final match of season six, and finality is central to all of the proceedings. We're flashing back to WrestleMania 19, specifically the semi-main event that saw The Rock clashing with Stone Cold Steve Austin in what would ultimately be the last match of their WrestleMania trilogy. We know now that, in hindsight, it was also the final match of Steve Austin's storied career.

Will The Rock, now a burgeoning movie star with an always expanding shoulder tattoo be able to defeat the bionic rattlesnake? Or will Austin once again defeat his rival as top dog in the WWE on wrestling's biggest stage?

Joining your boys in the research lab this week to don the lab coat and toss some (pseudo) science around is returning guest Ryan Saucier! (@FlyingSaucier)

S6E9: Manami Toyota vs Toshiyo Yamada w/Katie Clifford

CREDIT: YOUTUBE

There is a Russian proverb that says jealousy and love are sisters. Perhaps it's that sentiment that drove Manami Toyota to demand a match against Toshiyo Yamada, the woman with whom she shares a tag team championship, a years-long friendly rivalry, and a bond borne out of respect.

Regardless, in the main event of AJW Mid-Summer Typhoon, Toyota defends her IWA Championship against Yamada, with the added stipulation that the loser will suffer the indignity of losing her hair.

Also discussed on this episode: Jackass, Terrace House, Marsupilami, and Bonkers.

Joining in this week to supply some of the much needed data points is development executive Katie Clifford!

On this week's episode your boys dip their toes back into the world of Lucha Libre and finally break the TIA seal on the CMLL promotion. It's the final match of the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles 2016, a tag team tournament with a unique wrinkle: each team is comprised of a rudo and a técnico.

Who will take home the honors tonight as Mephisto & Mistico square off against Cibernético and Carístico? And what happens when the original Mistico tangles with the young star who assumed the mantle when he left for the States?

Running in this week to help sort out the STAR ratings is screenwriter Aaron Mobley!
