All that, plus CZW owner DJ Hyde calls in to the show to talk about all that has been going on with the ultra-hardcore promotion of late, and Brady and the gang are also joined by Adam Cole, of Ring of Honor and CZW, as he talks about all that has been happening in his world. Great show all around! Plus, Brady, Pro Wrestling Illustratushed’s Mike Bessler, and Derrick McDonald talk Raw, Elimination Chamber, what has (and hasn’t) been working as WWE continues to push toward WrestleMania, and the importance of real, legitimate pushes for guys like Zack Ryder and Santino Marella.

Papadon talks all the competition he will face in this year’s tourney, being champion heading into the tournament, how he qualified for this year’s tournament by beating last year’s Super 8 winner, and “The Greek God”‘s thoughts on the other men he will face on April 7th in Newark, Delaware. Plus, the gang talks WWE Raw and Elimination Chamber, and the New York Giants’ Brandon Jacobs appearing on TNA Impact.

A Comment from Brady:
On a side note, this show was so jam-packed that we didn’t even get to delve into all the great Bret Hart-Shawn Michaels talk that went on last week on the board. Stay tuned … more on THE GREAT DEBATE v2.0 to follow.
