Question for the PSP:

Let's assume Bobby Lashley finally debuts for ROH around September (Glory by Honor?). Fantasy book his first couple of months/feuds through Final Battle. You should probably fast track this question.

Ten Count Question: If Punk had spent more time away from WWE after winning the title in 2011 and made good on his threat to defend it in ROH/NJPW, what matches do you guys think would have been booked from both companies?

I think we discussed this on a previous episode. Either that or I spent a bunch of time talking to a random person about who in NJPW had enough credibility to put in the match but also wouldn't lose face by losing to an outside.

Brace yourself for the best Sean Bean impression you've ever heard during the Jeff Jarrett/X-Pac match.

Also, so many Crystal Maze references for the Lion's Den match. "He done it on his own, because the Nation are still stuck in the Boat Zone".

Bryan and Vinny ring entrance contest was good.
Bryan was briefly stunned by an obvious recording of a video game ring announcer.
This was the music for Dave's tag team partner, the 45lb CRT.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
I loving hated the ring entrance contest although a couple of them (including the winner) were OK.

Also, I can't believe neither Dave nor Bryan so much as snickered during the Mick Foley interview when he said "AJ's been showing a lot of dementia and Kaitlyn's been uh, showing something else," because I thought it was a funny little throwaway line.

This is the real question. Such an amazing theme...

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but it might be a cool discussion. What are some bad wrestlers you grew to love because of their character/gimmick alone? Also vice versa, what are some good wrestlers you grew to hate for the same reasons?

Yeah. They lost all the second half due to a problem in their audio recording software. A note was added saying that they'd redo it but it hasn't happened yet.

Question for a future Ten Count: If you were remaking "Beyond The Mat" today, who would you focus on?

If it helps, according to Wikipedia, the original idea was "three famous wrestlers: one at the height of his career, one contemplating retirement, and one at a career low. The careers of the three successful wrestlers are contrasted with those of wrestlers who have not yet achieved comparable success."

Thank you so much for those, by the way; we really appreciate them. It's heartening to know that there are people who care what a bunch of idiots like us have to say about wrestling.

Edge and Booker T fighting over a Japanese Shampoo commercial. Poor Booker, he's feuded over Shampoo and letters, won a title by pulling it out of a box (in the process he dropped it and Dave Penzer had to hand it to him) and had a match with the Nasty Boys where he spent 85% of it trying not to fall over and break his neck.
