E51 - Extreme Rules Reactions - Raw Talk

WWE Water Cooler Talk...The last PPV before Summerslam is in the books and SFM is back reacting to Extreme Rules...It may not have been the best show we've ever seen but at the end of the day average wrestling is fun wrestling, and Extreme Rules gave us plenty to mark out over and discuss...

The show was carried by a a few very good matches...Lashley showed out in a very physical match with Roman...Rusev showed he belongs in the main event scene with his performance against the Phenomenal One...And Ziggler & Rollins did their best to end the show with a bang (Despite very little help from a tough Pittsburgh crowd)...We just need a little bit more from the Tag Team and Women's Divisions if these are supposed to be "super shows"... But we are confident one of those divisions are going to get it together...

We also get into a little Raw talk as we get ready to head down the Road to Summerslam...Is a Lashley-Roman rematch really what we wanted to see? How would we have booked the 2 triple threat matches on Monday?...Ronda v Bliss is official for Summerslam. How is Wes handling the news?...Where does Chace hope to see Rollins go after failing to earn a much deserved Universal Title shot?...And what else would we like to see at the upcoming second biggest show of the year?...

E50- Modern Era Little Guys - Golden Mark Out Awards

WWE Water Cooler Talk....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! We are 50 episodes in and we are celebrating with a very special edition of SFM...In our Gimmick Segment this week we are looking back at the best from our first 50...Which performers, moments, and match stand out above the rest during our time so far? They will be walking away with our special edition GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY MARK OUT AWARDS...

Then it is on to the main event where we are wrapping up our trilogy on the "Little Guys"...After looking back at our Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras we saw who was responsible for blazing the trail for the smaller wrestlers we see dominating today...AJ Styles...Daniel Bryan...Seth Rollins...These guys are on top of the world despite not being close to the biggest guys on the roster...Is this the newest evolution of the business or do we think the pendulum swing back to the Giants one day? How does the cruiserweight division remain important with the new standard?

We're on to Extreme Rules so we look at back at the best of the go home shows and get a temperature check on some of these stories going into the weekend...Then we close things out looking ahead at the card and making our official predictions...

Thank you all for joining us once again! It's been a fun first 50 and we couldn't have done it without you all, our Day 1 is H Listeners...Here's to 50 more!

E49- RA Era Little Guys - Booking the BBQ

WWE Water Cooler Talk....We kick things off with a fun yet very important discussion. It was July 4th week so here at SFM we are Booking the BBQ in our Gimmick Segment...Who would we invite from the current WWE roster? There are a few different types of parties we can have here but we think we settle on a pretty fun crew in the end...

In our Main Event we continue on with our Little Guys discussion. This week traveling back to a very important era for these wrestlers, the Ruthless Aggression Era...This was a time when former Cruiserweights like Guerrero, Mysterio, and Benoit shattered the glass ceiling and became main event level stars...They blazed the trail for may of the undersized stars we see today like Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles...On top of that the RA Era was also special because the Cruiserweight Division was added with the purchase of WCW...Who had Wes marking out in the CW Division back in the day? With stars like Kidman, Noble, Hurricane, and Tajiri there was plenty of talent to choose from...

And of course we get into the current Raw and SD shows...It was a busy week for Roman, much to the dismay of many fans, but Wes thinks he might be seeing signs that something interesting may be happening for Roman and he makes his case...Chace about has a meltdown as we get into the Bayley-Sasha counseling story...And Team Hell No is back reminding us all how entertaining their dynamic can be...

E48- Tag Team Mt Rushmore - Attitude Era Little Guys

WWE Water Cooler Talk....We kick things off with our favorite Gimmick Segment, Mt Rushmore...The tag division looks to be making a bit of a comeback on Raw, so it felt like a good time to talk our all time favorite tag teams...Which teams through history will make our Mt Rushmore's of WWE Tag Teams?

Coming off our last trilogy focusing on the Giants of WWE...We are flipping the script here in our newest Main Event trilogy and discussing the "little guys" of WWE...This is going to be an interesting topic because the ceiling for these undersized performers has never been higher than it is today, but that hasn't always been the case...To see this progression take shape we begin back in the Attitude Era and Chace makes the case that one man is largely responsible for opening the door for the "little guys."

And when it come to the weekly stuff both of our hosts are eating a little crow this week...The Mark Out Awards go to some unlikely winners and stories begin to pick up steam across both brands as Extreme Rules starts to take shape...Thanks for joining here for another fun wrestling chat...Be sure to hit that subscribe button so you never miss us here around the water cooler...

E46- Modern Era Giants - MITB Preview - Dear Vince

WWE Pro Wrestling Water Cooler Talk.....Breaking down the very loaded Money in the Bank card as we make our picks and discuss the best stories coming into the show...

In our Gimmick Segment we are writing the big guy himself. "Dear Vince" is back and Chace has some very bold and interesting suggestions for Ronda Rousey.

Then in our Main Event wwe are wrapping up our Giants trilogy in the modern era...A lot of these same guys are still hanging on after long, illustrious careers...But who is ready to step up and carry the torch into the future?...And maybe the definition of a giant in todays WWE is changing altogether....

E45- RA Era Giants - McIntyre & Ziggler Fantasy Booking

WWE Wrestling Water Cooler Talk...We kick things off with a favorite Gimmick Segment of ours as Wes makes his "Book the Territory" debut and fantasy books the next few months for a guy he is really excited about. Drew McIntyre...Chace tries to keep him in check but let's just say if Wes had it his way the rocket would be being strapped to Drew's back as we speak...Watch out Roman and Brock...

And we of course talk all the best from the past week as the build to MITB continues...Did the Nia-Rousey story take a step back this week?  What in the heck is going on with the Raw Tag Division?  Is the Bray Wyatt-Matt Hardy alliance getting over with us here on the show? And we deal with a Team Chace crisis as Baron Corbin's new Constable position may just give him new life after Chace nearly booted him from his squad...

Over on Smackdown we may have a new "A Show" on our hands as it continues to be awesome from start to finish...Carmella was amazingly annoying and carried a couple great segments...The AJ-Shinsuke rivalry is hitting all the right notes...And The New Day are reminding us all why we love them so much...which scares the hell outta Chace...

Then in our Main Event our Giant discussion continues...This week traveling back to the Ruthless Aggression Era where Wes shows us a perfect example of what he thinks a monster big man should be in WWE...This guy set the standard for what Wes expects out of his Giants and his run during the RA Era is the reason why...So get ready for a lot of Big Red Machine talk as Wes claims he saw the best run of Kane's career early in the RA Era...
