The show opens with a lengthy discussion on WWE doubling down on the Pat McAfee nonsense and explain why it&#8217;s counter-productive hack content usually reserved for dying pro wrestling companies, plus what not to get distracted by (such as whether McAfee landed some blows to C.M. Punk facade) and where to focus (top execs with conflicts of interest pushing this narrative nonsense). Also, what&#8217;s going on with Sami Zayn and was he really trying to get fans to cheer him and what does it say there were so few? Also, thoughts on other aspects of the show as WrestleMania 42 nears.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2026\/04\/20260410WKPWP-SD-VIP.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
