Not really a question. I just wanted to thank Johnny and the nL boys for reigniting my love for this weirdo shit we call pro wrestling all the way back in the HitBox era with their playthrough of DDP on SYM (OH MAH BROTHA).

Primarily a Johnny question but have you found yourself going about GM mode differently since you book actual cards now or is there enough disconnect between the game and real life that it doesn’t matter?
I was wondering something. while the Q&A seg is great. i miss the untitled theme song seg and the deadlock draft seg. So I guess my question is why did those segments go away?
