TSC: The Squared Circle - 02-15-2024

Coming up on this week's edition of TSC, Andy breaks down all the news from the past week including reaction to Sting's last match, what's next for Matt Camp and LA Knight wants to be ushered (see what I did there) into Wrestlemania. 

 

Also the TSC Viewpoint this week is on the future of TNA and Scott D'Amore following his termination from TNA and Anthem, plus we open the history vault and go back in time to see what happened this week in history. Some major things including HBK losing his smile, an excellent fourth world title reign and a superstar who lied and cheated his way to a title win over a beast are all covered. 

 

That's not all, as Andy wraps up the show with his Top 5 of the past week and he invites you to share your top 5 every week on the Team MOW Facebook page plus he goes back in time to look at the UK Rampage 1991.

The ACT Ep. 28 - ..."And A Free Pack of Bubblicious!"

This week, the leaders of the gWo are completely beside themselves after the events in WWE over the past few days - especially since the WrestleMania XL Kickoff Event in Las Vegas!

Hear their thoughts on what went down with Cody Rhodes staking his claim on the WrestleMania Main Event match against Roman Reigns, The Rock's turn, and hear their thoughts on a seemingly impossible match - but they still make ya wonder!

Also, they look at this past week's AEW Dynamite, and Tony Khan's announcement for the "Big Business" event in Boston.  Was it a big announcement, or an announcement of an announcement?

Lastly, it's an extended "Alternate Scenario" session, covering everything from a slap from the Rock vs. a wooden spoon shot from a Greek Mother, and somehow transitioning to New Jack.

It's the least-serious, but most entertaining "week in review" show, and it's here for you every week!
