On Episode 261, Big Dave returns to recap recent events in the world of pro wrestling. Recorded in multiple parts over a span of two weeks, we run the gamut of emotions as the Washington National went from the brink of disaster to 2019 World Series Champions. Meanwhile, the pro wrestling world prepared for war. It was not just the Big 4 war brewing between Wednesday Night rivals NXT and AEW, Raw, and SmackDown, it was the warzone existing within each brand respectively.

Also on this Episode, we recap and review Crown Jewel 2, a historic event from Saudi Arabia and the first of the Saudi shows that did not feel like a glorified house show. It was an event with real ramifications and we touch on this here on Episode 261.
Latin for “prepare for war” is parabellum (as anyone who has seen John Wick 3 will tell you) hence the title of this Episode. The wrestling world prepares for war on multiple fronts and we begin our look at a very exciting time here on this Episode.
