The wrestling world remains in shock but with a sense of unity following the untimely and tragic passing of Jamin “Jay Briscoe” Pugh.

Mike McGuire and Dave Meltzer talk about Pugh’s career with his brother, as well as the impact they had on professional wrestling as a whole. Later in the show, SNME’s Dan Lovranski also sits with us to talk about a time he got to hang out with “Dem Boys”, and also shares his thoughts on Jay Briscoe.

With WWE’s Royal Rumble less than a week away, Mike and Dave also speculate as to what could happen, including a potential Rumble Surprise that NOBODY is talking about. They also dive into the CM Punk situation as it seems all sides are cooling off, what other skeletons are in Vince McMahon’s closet he’ll need to vanquish before selling WWE, and a lot more.

Also in this week’s episode, Mike is joined by SNME Podcast hosts Joe Aguinaldo and Brad MacKinnon to give their own Royal Rumble thoughts and predictions.
