26: Red Wednesday (04/15/20)
The past week has been absolutely brutal for the world of PLURfessional Wrestling, all culminating in WWE releasing tens of employees in the middle of a global pandemic. Heel Turn’s Owen joins Trace, Oscar and John as they take stock of all the people no longer being paid for their services by WWE as of the Ides of April, discuss the ramifications of flooding a market with talent during a period where almost no one can work, and reiterate just how badly wrestlers need to unionize. Plus: we review this week’s Dark Side of the Ring on Jimmy Snuka and the alleged murder that Vince McMahon allegedly paid to make go away; reveal Killer Kross’ bad new WWE name; and take an in-depth look at the hot matches from the Best Wrestling Show of 2018 and 2019: Being the Elite.
