Ben, Khal, Brian, and David fire up the mics and discuss the beauty of lunchtime wrestling after Raw’s early start time in the U.S. (2:14). Then, they go line by line to break down John Cena’s epic promo and figure out how much truth Cena was spitting with each section (8:37).

Then, in this week’s Nostalgia Freakz, they revisit the Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X8 (56:20).

Before they close, they go to the ‘Ringer Wrestling Worldwide’ hotline for They Said What?! and react to a couple of hot takes from you, the people, about getting United States crowds to be as loud as overseas crowds and fantasy booking the finish between Cody Rhodes and John Cena (69:37).

For an opportunity to have your hot take featured on They Said What?!, leave a voicemail at (202) 417-8160, or drop your Am I the Heel? situations at ringerwrestlingshowworldwide@gmail.com.
