The Mast Man David Shoemaker. Welcome to the Mask Man Show, the first show of 2017. Probably the biggest year in wrestling history, but I don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves

Dave Schilling how you doing today man we've had it this is like we started off yesterday

emailing about what we were going to talk about and it was all just sort of like loose

and and I don't know I didn't really

know if there was a lot of things to hang this on but we've got we suddenly it feels like

we have too much to talk about we've got a big smackdown we'll talk about that but we'll talk about there was a new W. W. W. network show with some radio disc jockey that was hosting it.

Some guy I've never heard of before. We'll talk about that later.

Raw is like well, the road to the Royal Rumble

is has begun and the road to WrestleMania by proxy,

That was an awesome show.
