Recent Wrestling Events:

• WWE’s Promo Techniques: Analysis of WWE’s modern promo style, where wrestlers cut promos during their walk to the ring. The group discusses the challenges this presents, especially when performed live on TV.
• AEW Drama: The crew talks about the recent rumors surrounding backstage drama in AEW, particularly focusing on a supposed altercation involving Britt Baker and MJF. They discuss the credibility of these rumors and the overall atmosphere in AEW compared to WWE.
Personal Wrestling Stories:
• Sorg’s Head Injuries: Sorg shares a recent incident where he was hit in the head with a hockey stick during a match at Diamond Beach. Despite the injury, he continued filming, which has led to some humorous TikTok content.
• Tatiana’s Healing Journey: Tatiana opens up about her physical injuries sustained in the ring and her ongoing recovery. She humorously recounts how she has been involved in many injuries, often self-inflicted during wrestling events.
Dungeons & Dragons:
• Top Rope Tabletop Campaign: The group discusses the ongoing campaign in Top Rope Tabletop, a D&D series featuring pro wrestlers. Mikey Montgomery talks about his character, a bard inspired by an Elvis impersonator, and how he integrates his wrestling experience into the game.
• D&D and Wrestling Crossover: Tatiana and Mikey reflect on how their D&D characters have influenced their wrestling personas and vice versa. They explore the similarities between planning a D&D campaign and a wrestling match, emphasizing the improvisational skills required for both.
What We Learned:
• Tatiana learned that her dice in D&D are as unpredictable as a wrestling match, where even the best-laid plans can go awry. She shared how she often has to adapt on the fly, much like in a wrestling scramble.
• Mikey reflected on the parallels between D&D and wrestling, particularly how both require quick thinking and adaptability. He shared his process of visualizing matches in his head, similar to how he plans out D&D battles.
• SSorg humorously learned the risks of being too close to the action, both in wrestling and in filming, as he continues to collect head injuries from unexpected sources like hockey sticks.
