The “Neon Ninja” Facade joins Sorg and Mad Mike to discuss championship opportunities, calculated risks, and rediscovering the joy of professional wrestling.

Facade previews his three-way JCW World Heavyweight Championship match against Josh Bishop and Father Bronson at Bloodymania. He reflects on the evolution of JCW, shares memories from the Gathering of the Juggalos, revisits his history with Ricochet, and considers the possibility of entering to Vanilla Ice’s “Ninja Rap.”

He also tells the complete story behind accepting a Power Slap fight on only a few days’ notice. Facade explains cutting nearly ten pounds, entering without a full training camp, receiving the first strike, and questioning how a referee repositioned him immediately before the knockout.

Elsewhere, the crew examines Chelsea Green’s star-making promo after suffering an orbital injury, WWE’s expanding relationship with AAA, the final Sorgstock match announcements, and recent independent wrestling events. “What We Learned” covers Rey Mysterio’s enduring greatness, CM Punk’s promo misfire, the evolving Bloodline hierarchy, and the importance of protecting your passion.
