Hey guys I love your podcast and been listening for about 3 years now. One of the things I loved hearing about is some of the craziest things yall experienced in life much like the airplane from hell when yall went to and left Japan, Pulse and his laptop situation, or the Burger King foot lettuce.

Hey boys, law student and hogdipper here. What’s your favorite legal story in wrestling, either kayfabe or real? Hogan suing Russo over defamation still wilds me out after watching the Bash at the Beach 2000 SGH

Would you guys consider turning SGH into a monthly (or bi monthly) UFC watch along?

Question for Jawnny. I remember on an NL charity stream years ago that you guys had Vince Russo on playing Jackbox games and stuff. If you’re able to talk about it, how was the experience having him on and have you spoken to him since?

Which wrestler from WCW would you love to see in a horror franchise? ie Shane Douglas in SAW or Booker T in Terrorizer.

Hey Jame and Jawn, I was wondering how you guys felt about your following in the game community

Completely unrelated, but I’ve got a real theory that pro wrestling is highly related to drag culture, just swapping out masculine characters for feminine characters.

What's your favorite wrestling show theme song?

You have to pick ONE wrestler that you hate, for whatever reason (morally, personally, you think they absolutely suck, etc), and make them the top guy. Who are you picking and why?

Outside of wrestling what toys did y'all have as kids? I know you both love Power Rangers, so curious to hear what y'all were hyped up about back in the day.

Why do you call it the deadlock after show when it always comes out before the podcast? Shouldn’t it be called the deadlock preshow?

Who you fellas picking for the world series. Go brew crew
