In this episode, Al and Andrew cover a number of topics. The big news this week is about The Big Guy. Ryback has been sent home by Vince McMahon after contract negotiations didn’t go so well. Ryback posted on his Tumblr about wanting equal pay for all wrestlers, and not higher pay just for the predetermined winners. The problem Ryback’s argument lacks is not separating the major difference in a wrestler’s value vs. their marketability. They then review WWE Payback, which was a very good wrestling show with really goofy finishes. Enzo Amore had a scary injury and they give the listeners an update on him. Finally, they go over how WWE’s next pay per view Extreme Rules is shaping up. All that, and more!
