Episode 78 - Wacky Wild Card Ratings


The Brothers of Discussion go over the well thought-out plan of WWE Wild Cards! That was sarcasm...but we are totally and seriously in love with the Undisputed Era teasing a break-up, Bianca Belair continuing her winning streak, and are stoked for Heavy Machinery getting a title push!


Welcome to another high flying, fist pumping, crotch scratching, and Uso Cream filled episode of the Brothers of Discussion!  We dig into WWE creative’s panicked attempts to get your eyeballs back on Raw and Smackdown.



That and so much more is ready to be dissected by the Brothers of Discussion.
