With the end of the year upon us, it’s time for a lot of reflection on the year in wrestling. But one subject was so big that we couldn’t help but devote an entire episode to: the culmination of John Cena’s final year as a professional wrestler.
In his match against Gunther, he did the one last thing he’d never done before: tap out! While we agree that it was a remarkable way for one of WWE’s all time greats to end his career, we debate on the impact of such a conclusion.
The Three Count
Lindsey put over Pancho and Mach merch (finally!).
