Then it's time for This Week in Pro Wrestling, where we dive into the explosive Season premiere of Dark Side of the Ring, relive all the biggest moments from Saturday Night's Main Event, and discuss the latest twists on the road to SummerSlam. Which stories are hitting... and which ones are falling flat? Over in Sports, we break down Connor Bedard's massive five-year contract extension, what it means for the Blackhawks and the NHL, plus all the biggest winners, losers, and surprises from another wild week of NHL free agency. Finally, things take an unexpected turn. With Brad out this week, we planned to tackle one of our most controversial Tinfoil Hat topics yet... but after a heated discussion, we made the decision to cut the entire segment from the episode. What was the topic? Why did it never make it to air? You'll have to tune in to find out everything else that happened. πŸ”₯ Movie Reviews 🀼 Wrestling Analysis πŸ’ NHL Free Agency & Bedard's New Deal 🎩 The Tinfoil Hat Segment That Never Was...
