Episode Description
This Episode includes a quick rundown of what happened on All In, NXT Heatwave, and the weekly shows. I also got in to some other wrestling news and voiced my opinion on the state of WWE. For the final segment, I got into the bread and butter of this podcast. A quick review of the match of the day, Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble 2003. This match was rated a 4.75 by Dave Meltzer, will it be higher, lower, or the same rating from Devin?
