In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that month in the past and break it down. This month there&#8217;s a twist, because while Alan sends us 23 years into the past and the hot summer that was peak Kreski-ism, Justin decides to do the unthinkable and turns back the clock the sum total of 48 hours, forcing us to watch an episode of modern WWE TV &#8211; something Alan hasn&#8217;t done in at least 6 years. How does 2000 WWF compare to 2023 WWE? How does the pace of a one-hour Heat compare to a two-hour Friday night Smackdown? What happened to young Stephanie &amp; Hunter&#8217;s relaxing Sunday afternoon? We answer these questions and many more in what turned out to be quite the learning and growth experience for us. Plus, Taka &amp; Funaki pay tribute to their N64 persona, The Cross Rhodes of Val &amp; Bull, Alan learns about Chef Boyardee, Death by Triple Threat, and plenty of other topics brought to you by a tremendously synergistic corporate tie-in from the desk of Nick Khan. Are we done? We might be done.
