S8E7: The New Day vs The Usos w/Spencer Tucker

CREDIT: WWE.COM

A matchup so nice they did it at least five times - but this particular contest takes places within the confines of the sadistic, horrifying metallic structure that we affectionately call the Hell in a Cell.

In one corner, the defending champions: The New Day, represented by Big E and Xavier woods. And in the other, the challengers: The Usos, real-life twin brothers Jimmy and Jay!

Who will come out on top this time? 

Assisting your co-hosts this week in this soft-science research project is Spencer Tucker!

S8E5: Rey Mysterio vs Andrade Best 2 out of 3 Falls w/Nate Gray

CREDIT: WWE.COM

On the road to the Royal Rumble, which officially kicks off the road to WrestleMania, two familiar foes square off in the main event of WWE Smackdown Live. All that's on the line is bragging rights and the ever-important intangible: momentum. 

It's best two out of three falls, with managers barred from ringside. Rey Mysterio takes on Andrade (Cien Almas no more) in a follow-up match to the previous week's instant classic. 

Joining the team for this trip into the science lab is Nate Gray!

And yes, we apologize for mistakenly saying this match took place in 2017 on a few occasions. During quarantine, when recording from inside of your closet, time is a flat circle.

S8E4: The Fantastics vs The Midnight Express w/Mike Mitchell

CREDIT: OWW PROFILE

Two Bobby's, a Tommy and a Stan enter the UTC Arena. No, it's not the lineup for a cartoon character convention, it's the makeup of an NWA United States Tag Team Championship match featuring two of the hottest pairs of their era: The freshly arrived Fantastics challenge the dastardly Midnight Express who are in the middle of lengthy run as champions.

Though they wrestled at least a dozen times (in this run alone), this particular contest, taped in front of lively crowd in Chattanooga, was called an instant classic despite spanning five commercial breaks. One wonders how many California Raisins ads aired on TBS that day.

Joining the gang to help break down the action is Mike Mitchell (@SirMitchell)!

S8E3: Trish Stratus vs Mickie James w/Leigh Luna

CREDIT: WWE NETWORK

WrestleMania 22 hits the Big Time with this seminal (and somewhat problematic) WWE Women's Championship matchup between the Ace of 2006 WWE's women's division and her obsessed superfan. It's Trish Stratus taking on challenger Mickie James, co-starring a rowdy Chicago crowd and some cringeworthy commentary.

We suggest you check out options available on daily motion for the original, unabridged version of the match. On the WWE Network they've done some not-so-light editing, with the finish being significantly altered (though JR and King's commentary is present in nearly every version, so be forewarned).

Joining the gang this week in the virtual studio is returning guest and Muscle Temple member Leigh Luna!

On our first look in on DEFY Wrestling, we are performing a deep dive on an instant classic from 2017 featuring two of the hottest stars on the independent scene - it's Lio Rush battling Shane Strickland in a match to kick off the first ever 8XGP Tournament.

Besides being a fast-paced, high impact contest, what will likely stand out to first-time DEFY viewers is their unique presentation. Don't worry - you'll get used to it... maybe...

Joining in on all of the soft-science fun this week is our guest Cornell Reid!

S8E1: The Final Deletion w/Lee Noble

Season 8, I knew you'd come!

In this current golden age of cinematic wrestling matches, TIA returns to the one that (arguably) created the genre. Filmed at the Hardy compound in Cameron, North Carolina, this brother versus brother conflict begins at a birthday party and ends near the property line!

Is this unique wrestling match filled with Broken Brilliance or is it simply a TNA Wrestling curio that has more in common with The Room than it does The Stadium Stampede?

Producer Tom returns to the virtual studio to help your boys finish this shortened off-season with a good-old-fashioned knockout game. For the third time in TIA history, Chuck dove deep into the PWI Top 500 archives and compiled two lists.

One is made up entirely of real wrestlers who appeared in the top 500 lists. The other is names Chuck made up. Will the contestants be able to tell which is which?
