This week, Nick (@nickpiccone) and Vaughn (@VaughnMJohnson) discuss the legendary career of Harley Race, who passed away last week. What moments and memories stood out to you?
The guys then discuss AEW coming to Philly on October 16 for a TV taping. But they’re not heading to the Wells Fargo Center, they’re heading to the site of TNA’s 2011 Bound For Glory pay-per-view spectacular… the Liacouras Center. Nick talks about why this sort of leaves a bad impression on him while Vaughn tries to make sense of it since, you know, AEW is a brand-new company and selling out large arenas probably isn’t as easy as it seems.
Then the guys close out the show by previewing SummerSlam and NXT TakeOver: Toronto.
