John Gennaro welcomes on his former coworker, Bill Hanstock, to answer questions that only Bill can, as someone who has both covered professional wrestling and has worked in sports media.

The guys talks for an hour about how wrestling fits into a world and a media environment where everyone is a character and nobody knows the whole truth, occasionally taking sidetracks to talk about appreciating performance over results, Survivor Series visiting Petco Park later this year, and a shared love of Taylor Swift's music.
