Happy Holidays from all of us here at the Attitude Of Aggression Wrestling Podcast to you, your family and your friends. The only bad thing about the Holidays is it gets very busy for all of us and we are running behind on getting Episode 60 out. Still, we wanted to review all of the events that took place during Christmas week, which was WWE Week on the USA Network, and that is what we have done here, albeit rather late.
We kick off Episode 60, however, with something very timely and informative as Dave conducted an interview with Ryan Droste, the founder of Top Rope Press and theTop Rope Press Radio Network. Dave and Ryan discussed the origins of Top Rope Press and the network, as well as a whole range of topics. such as NXT Takeover: London, the Royal Rumble, which non-WWE promotions have Ryan excited in 2016, his thoughts on Smackdown’s pending move to the USA Network and what that might mean for the Blue Brand. It is an excellent interview and one we think Aggressionaholics and fans of Top Rope Press will greatly enjoy.
From there, we review all the news and events that took place in WWE and NXT during Christmas week so if you missed anything, we have you covered here. We take a detailed look at all the 2015 Slammy Awards and offer our opinions as to whether or not we agreed with the choices made by the WWE Universe. We also review all of the matches from the December 21, 2015 edition of Raw, including the Steel Cage match between Sheamus and Dean Ambrose.
We also cover Super Smackdown Live and Tribute To The Troops. Did the New Day retain their Tag Team titles against the Lucha Dragons? Who prevailed in the Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Championship between Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler? What pretty big upset took place on Tribute To The Troops, even though for many Patriots out there…it was long overdue. We have all those answers for you on Episode 60.
We then close things down by reviewing NXT from December 23, 2015. This included a huge Fatal Four Way Tag Team battle that, for all intents and purposes, determined the new #1 contender to Dash & Dawson’s NXT Tag Team Titles. Who emerged victorious when Jason Jordan & Chad Gable crossed paths with The Vaudevillains, The Hype Bros, and Blake & Murphy? But, of course, the big story coming out of this edition of NXT was the long awaited in-ring return of Sami Zayn. Was Sami able to come back in style and delight the crowd in London…or did Tye Dillinger have a Perfect 10 of a defeat ready to lay on the former NXT Champ? Tune in to Episode 60 to find out.
