Brandon Stroud of With Leather drops by again to celebrate Thanksgiving, audio style. We dip into the original televised national Thanksgiving wrestling tradition, Starrcade, and what made that event special to a NWA fan such as himself. He recounts seeing Ric Flair somehow escape with the title and how the booking of Magnum TA and Tully Blanchard shines a light on how badly WWE babyfaces, specifically John Cena, are laid out. We talk a lot about Chikara and its current direction. Brandon is not a fan because the details are far too vague and the execution has felt half-hearted. However, he does want to like Chikara and like me, desperately wants it back.
We then get into a bevy of reader questions that tackle the following topics: the best women wrestlers ever, Meet Me There, Libertarian Kane and the need for office workers to wear suits, dream Royal Rumble surprise entrants, building a tag division up, what might happen to the non-Roman Reigns members of The Shield after he goes supernova, the malaise of main event Big Show, Thanksgiving side dishes, shows to draw in a non-fan, restoring Survivor Series, "wait and see," what Brandon has learned and been rewarded with as Inspire Pro ring announcer, WWE wrestlers who'd be best at National Pro Wrestling Day, what might happen to Curtis Axel, what wrestler's we've changed our minds on, and any non-US promotions we might be following. All your questions were awesome, and you're definitely gonna wanna listen to our answers.
