Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks with Gringo Fantastico, Jason Hilton, and Kenny Romero

Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are here this week with a very important question for the whomever is making decisions (*cough, cough* Ari whatever your name is) at WWE? Wrestlemania is only two and half weeks aways and the majority of the stories have been convoluted, misdirected, and uninspired. From McAfee showing up to be the Rock for, ruining another main event to a United States Championship match without one of the best workers you have (Ilya Dragunov), to legit injuries spreading widely, to mediocre storytelling on both of the shows, to the talent being finally fed up and doing shoot promos against the owners of the companies, your trio tries to make heads or tails out of whatever the hell is going on. Meanwhile, on the flip side, AEW is amping up for another PPV (Dynasty), this weekend, that may or may not make sense narratively, but at least the matches will be entertaining. Wrestling is weird now and the guys do their best to try to care enough to analyze it for your entertainment. Also, Gringo, Kenny, and Jason answer fan mail!

The trio of Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and a energy drink infused "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico ("Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre" on TROMA NOW) are back with another week of in-depth wrestling analytics, superb reporting, and objective criticisms! (It was difficult keeping a straight face typing that!) Gringo talks about his visit to the Squared Circle Expo and his really fun time meeting wrestlers. (Gringo says "The NWA guys were super rad!) The week in wrestling happened. The card for Wrestlemania is coming to fruition and it's looking much better than the last couple of attempts. Oba and Brock had a confrontation that made us care. Danhausen continues to be the most entertaining variable. Stephanie McMahon returns for whatever reason. Penta makes a dumb declaration. Liv and Stephanie Vaquer scuffled. Randy Orton heard another Who. More celebrities get excessive and undeserved air time. There was quite a bit to talk about on this episode with only a little over two weeks before the biggest wrestling event of the year, but they managed to still talk about things that had nothing to do with anything. We guess that's why you listen. Email your questions, if you have them, to [email protected] and we'll try to answer them on the show!

The trio of Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on TROMA NOW) are here to bring you the week in wrestling, headlines, and a lot of hijinks. Gringo is leaning heel with his Wrestlemania picks. Randy Orton's heel turn is discussed along with Oba's Wrestlemania chances. Steph and Liv finally make us care, while an actual decent Bullet Club gathering could be looming on the horizon. Jason holds disdain for this past week's pointless AEW Dynamite, while Kenny holds disdain for anything and everything "Speedball" Mike Bailey. The group pays homage to Chuck Norris and Dennis Condrey.

Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" luchador and horror host, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on TROMA NOW) are back this week to talk AEW Revolution resolutions, WWE's weekly shows, and complete and utter randomness involving the Oscars. Gringo finally agrees to give Sinner's a shot because he marks out for Delroy Lindo on every other movie he's in. Randy Orton goes full blow heel on Cody Rhodes for whatever reason. That was... a choice. Smackdown was lackluster, while Monday Night Raw had a few good matches. Meanwhile, on the AEW side, Adam Page gets stabbed through the mouth, we have several major comebacks, and Gringo admits that the FTR/Bucks match was pretty damn good, but not as good as Andrade versus Bandito!

Oh boy! What a week! From Vince McMahon legit trying to buy back the WWE from Endeavor with Saudi backers to Shelly Martinez's take on the Janel Grant craziness and being completely taken out of context, this has been a crazy week. Bronson Reed is out indefinitely. Who do you replace the Brons with... Ricky Saints? Ethan Page? Royce Keys?

Well... the Royal Rumble happened. "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico, Jason Hilton, and Kenny Romero give their takes on what could possibly the worst Rumble in history on this three hour episode of the pod. A lack of surprises (aside from Royce Keys and Brie Bella) mixed with empty seats and numb crowd responses didn't help, but neither did the booking (except for Mr. Iguana and La Parka). Fantastico manages to curb his nuclear anger (for the most part), while Jason and Kenny provide calm articulate takes on what went down in Saudi Arabia. Monday Night Raw started off strong, but managed to go downhill quickly. This weekend and Monday was like the end of Empire Strikes Back.
