We're back and so is Vince Russo! Following the first TNA PPV Jerry Jarrett discovered writing a wrestling show is lots of work! Who better to hire to help him out than Russo? Find out about all of the internet feuds this kicks off and how TNA discovers the shocking reality that no one is buying their PPVs.

At the end we have a quick tribute to Skinty McEdger. This was supposed to go before the show but it didn't seem right, so we added it to the end of this episode. Given we had to abort recording yesterday due to being down in the dumps about his death, it wouldn't be right to dump that on our listeners right out of the gate. Thank you to all who listen.
