Episode 150 is here and we have an excellent Episode here for all you Aggressionaholics to celebrate the occasion.
It was our extreme pleasure to welcome back to the show the one and only Grappler, Len Denton. Len was a guest of the show back on Episode 63 (http://www.attitudeofaggression.com/an-interview-with-the-grappler-lynn-denton-episode-63/) and during that episode, we covered the first half of his excellent book, Grappler: Memoirs of a Masked Madman. For Episode 150, we brought Len back to cover the second half of his book. In this excellent hour long interview, you will hear great stories about The Grappler himself but you will also hear stories about some of the all-time greats such as Randy Savage, Jerry Lawler, The Von Erich Family, Gino Hernandez, Rick Rude, Percy Pringle, John Nord, The Ultimate Warrior, Curt Henning, Eddie Guerrero, Bruiser Brody, and Goldberg. You will also hear a lot about Len’s special relationship with the late, great, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Len’s last match against Roddy’s son, Colt Toombs. If you thought the first interview with Len was good, wait until you hear this one.
And please make sure you pick up a copy of Lynn Denton’s fantastic autobiography, Grappler: Memoirs of a Masked Madman. You can pick up a copy at https://www.amazon.com/Grappler-Memoirs-Masked-Lynn-Denton-ebook/dp/B00MG4YTJ6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407720154&sr=8-2&keywords=Grappler.
But that is not all we have for you on Episode 150 as Dave and Ol Gator run down the week that was in the WWE last week. There was a lot of fallout from Survivor Series and NXT Takeover: Toronto and the guys cover it all on Episode 150.
On Raw, Goldberg announced his entry into the 2017 Royal Rumble. The New Day tried to creep closer to Demolition’s record for longest Tag Team Championship reign as they defended the Raw Tag Team titles against Sheamus & Cesaro. Who did Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens blame for Team Raw’s defeat at Survivor Series? A familiar foe stepped forward to challenge Charlotte for the Raw Women’s Championship. Rich Swan, TJ Perkins and Noam Dar battled in a Triple Threat to determine who would challenge Brian Kendrick for the Cruiserweight Championship on the debut Episode of 205 Live. In the Main Event, Seth Rollins took on Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship, with Jericho and Roman Reigns both banned from ringside. This was one of the best Raw Main Events of 2016. Who left Canada with the Universal Title? We let you know on this episode.
On Smackdown Live, James Ellsworth was going to get a Smackdown Live contract…if he could beat AJ Styles in a Ladder Match. The Miz took on Kalisto for the Intercontinental Championship. A Tag Team Turmoil match took place between The Hype Bros, The Ascenscion, American Alpha, Breezeango, The Usos, and The Vaudevillains to determine who would challenge Heath Slater and Rhyno at TLC for the Smackdown Live Tag Titles. Who came out on top? We let you in on all the details here on Episode 150.
We close things down by reviewing NXT, the fallout Episode from NXT Takeover: Toronto. Most of the Episode were highlights of the big event in Toronto. But we did see, potentially, the future of the NXT Women’s Division as Liv Morgan, Aliyah, and Ember Moon took on Billie Kaye, Peyton Royce, and Daria Berranatto. How did everything shake out, we let you know here on Episode 150.
