In a blast from BC's past, Stat Guy Greg stops by to litigate Hart's case, discuss Hulk Hogan's reinstatement and the state of African-American superstars in WWE (22:11). The guys also welcome CBS Sports editor Jack Jorgensen to the show to break down a highly-regarded Slammiversary pay-per-view from Impact Wrestling (51:10) before The Silver King closes the show solo (1:20:55). Adam breaks down the week that was in WWE, including the announcement of the all-women's Evolution PPV, Roman Reigns' big win, AJ Styles' next challenger and a couple key news items involving some well-known combat sports names.
