We discuss if UFC is taking over WWE since UFC/MMA stars like Brock, Ronda, Lashley, Shayna, are all main eventing in WWE leaving guys who are strictly wrestlers left in the dust. We discuss if this a good thing for wrestling.
We play our original Wrestling Categories game. A wrestling related category is given like “Tag Team Jannetty’s”, and Cam and Randy have to give answers until the timer runs out. The winner is the last to answer before it does.

Since the Seth-Dolph match was so disrupted by fans chanting with the clock, we ask if disrespectful chanting ok in a wrestling environment.
