WWF: The Legacy Series - The Wrestling Classic '85

On this week's show Mazza, Maverick and Plan look at some of the best rivalries creatively in WWE history.  The show stemmed from a comment from Plan that Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins may be the most well-written feud the company has produced.  It was a thought provoking statement which had the guys bringing up potential contenders featuring some of the greats of the business during the company's strongest creative period.  Join dem UK boys at the usual time of 9pm UK/4pm EST on Friday. 

Your host Matt Maher (a.k.a. TheImplications) jokes and moans over the past week of WWE. Going over the cards for NXT TakeOver: Chicago and the first new standard 4 hour PPV in Money in the Bank. However, he has stopped watching WWE TV, so for the latter he will entirely have to try and piece together the card with the random stuff he's see on Twitter. How amazing has NXT been as of late? And how will that benefit the developmental brand going in to TakeOver? What's WWE best current feud? And will MITB be helped or hindered by it's many singles matches/loger run time?

This week, The Doc tackles one of the more interesting topics in wrestling nerdom - who's the best?  Specifically this week, he evaluates the consensus top in-ring performer of the last two years in WWE, AJ Styles, opposite the white hot frontrunner for Wrestler of the Year in 2018 to date, Seth Rollins.  To quickly preview, this is really a conversation centered on the popular style that most diehard fans prefer against a more nuanced modus operandi.  Also, Doc explains how it would be possible for WWE to be peaking financially without simultaneously having to peak creatively, as many believe to be the case in present day.  The show begins with the Wrestlers (male and female) and Match of the Month for May 2018.

WCW: The Legacy Series - The Grand Finale, Part 2

On this week's show Mazza, Plan and Maverick take a look at the history of WWE's Money in the Bank PPV.  In 2010, the gimmick match moved from being a staple of WrestleMania to getting its own pay-per-view.  In the years since, it has become one of the most anticipated events on the WWE calendar with not only the matches for the briefcase, but also some fantastic and iconic world title matches.  The guys take a look back at all the events, find some interesting themes as it maps out how the company has gone through a lot of changes in the last eight years.

This week, The Doc is in a reflective mood about the current state of WWE and his current state of fandom, with the number one question on his mind being what the biggest problem is that has shaped the general perception of WWE being in a down creative cycle that stretches nearly a year and a half now.  Roman Reigns gave a pair of interviews in the past week that truly stand out to Doc as exemplifications of the primary issue at hand.  If you are feeling jaded these days about WWE, then this show likely will speak to you and, if you are somehow on board with the general creative direction of the product, then this show will likely get you riled up.  Doc also discusses Ronda Rousey's title shot at Money in the Bank from multiple perspectives.
