Ep. 106: Baron Cobin’s magical style w/ LaToya Ferguson

Episode Summary

This week, the team is joined by LaToya Ferguson! She’s written about wrestling for The AV Club and Paste and is ready to share her thoughts on tons of the biggest happenings in wrestling. That includes LaToya’s renewed anxiety about the women’s division slipping back into some Divas era tendencies like shorter matches with as many competitors as possible shoved into the ring. The team will set it straight that this doesn’t make for quality showing, especially as roads lead up to Evolution. Plus, many indications are that Braun Strowman is leading into heelish tendencies. But how good of an idea is that when he’s really over with the audience? And speaking of which, has WWE corrected course with Becky Lynch and learned that having her antagonize the audience is a losing game? All of that and the team will finally, definitively explain what Baron Corbin’s outfit makes them think of. Seriously, you’ll never be able to look at him the same way again. The Three Count LaToya put over Kevin Nash’s Paparazzi Productions. Danielle put over Hal Lublin at Dragon Con. Mike put over Danielle Radford on Patreon. Hal put over Mike’s upcoming tour dates in the U.S. and Europe through November. Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford, Mike Eagle and LaToya Ferguson. Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
