Summary

Before starting the first show of 2019, Brian Campbell and Adam Silverstein remember the late, great "Mean" Gene Okerlund, who died at age 76. The guys recap Okerlund's career and share their favorite moments from one of the most legendary voices in professional wrestling history. In the Main Event, BC and The Silver King break down all the known details for the newly announced All Elite Wrestling and share their expectations for the upstart promotion (12:25). Up next is a look at the last two weeks of taped WWE action as the company somehow found a way to deliver in a major way despite airing four taped episodes (41:49). Hero or Zero returns with Brian and Adam grading WWE's most impactful booking decisions, including character changes for AJ Styles and Seth Rollins (1:02:58). And last by certainly not least, the guys preview New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom 13 card (1:18:17) before signing off. Start the new year off right with the State of Combat.
