Episode 88 - Fiendish and Excited Feeling for Wrestling
Get ready for a fiendishly tasty, universally championed, Black Mass kicking episode of the Brothers of Discussion! We cover everything from Bray Wyatt’s chilling return to the ring, to the shaping of the Summerslam card, throw in some some mid-year Match of the year candidates, and make a little time for the WWE deep cuts...and by that i mean WWE’s minor leagues in NXT and NXTUK.
That and so much more is ready to be dissected by the Brothers of Discussion.
