Summary

A rough week of WWE programming has Brian Campbell, Nick Kostos and Adam Silverstein hot to open the show (6:00). What cooled them down? The continuing transcendent booking from G1 Climax 27, which the guys break down about one week before its conclusion (20:00). Up next is an exclusive interview with Braun Strowman (54:05), who offers effusive praise of Roman Reigns and dives deep on his first two years in WWE. After running through some of your DM questions (1:04:10), BC, Handsome Nick and The Silver King break down the Shawn Michaels-Razor Ramon ladder match at SummerSlam 1995 for PPV rewind (1:14:25) and end things with their weekly feel spots (1:27:00).

0:00.0	So watching the pay-per-view rewind, SummerSlam 95,
0:03.5	Shaw Michaels, Razor Ramon, Ladder Match,
0:06.0	I actually watched some of the match that preceded that,
0:09.8	which was Brett Hart against Isaac Yankham,

1:16.2	Glenn Jacobs was probably devastated when he first heard that.
1:18.9	Who the hell besides for Vince would think that was a good idea?
