Summary

In an extended episode that covers all angles of a massive week in professional wrestling, Brian Campbell and Adam Silverstein convene to determine whether the return of Hulk Hogan to WWE television was well-intentioned or included an ulterior motive (1:06:56). But first, BC and The Silver King react to the formal introduction of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), including the signings of Chris Jericho and Pac, the potential for the company how it needs to set itself part from WWE and the future of Kenny Omega (6:20). The Main Event continues with a breakdown of NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 (52:22) before the guys move on to Brock Lesnar's appearance on Raw and whether Braun Strowman can bounce back from a horrendous segment (1:16:46). The guys then debate Daniel Bryan's recent promo work, Sasha Banks's title shot, the top angle on NXT and much more in Hero or Zero (1:20:58) before closing with their Feel Spots.
