Stomping Grounds Looks Really Bad

6/22/2019
This wk on Wishful Booking I’m thrilled to be joined by guest cohost Keifer Cook, from the Kansas City area wrestling scene. We’re continuing to talk about Firefly Funhouse & where it could lead, some general thoughts on the 24/7 Title, and an in-depth preview of WWE Stomping Ground Sunday night. Topics also discussed include modern steel cage match rules & why they’re very dumb, as well as why Mark Henry arguably should’ve beaten Undertaker at WM22.. And everything in between!!! (This is a first time convo for 2 marks who’ve spoken loads on Twitter, over time. Just something to keep in mind.) Rate, review, share, subscribe, or don’t. But hopefully enjoy!!

Kicking Ass & Taking Braincells

6/14/2019
This week on Wishful Booking we're experiencing some growing pains, as Liam is undergoing a crisis of conscience(+ a really poopy product).
