This week, Hal and Danielle are joined by Box Brown. He’s a comic book artist and writer who’s a longtime, but lapsed, fan of WWE. But this past weekend featured a show that rekindled his and the entire panel’s love of wrestling: Double or Nothing from All Elite Wrestling. We’ll go over the entire show, from what worked, didn’t work and why it was such a success.

Episode notes

This week, Hal and Danielle are rejoined by Box Brown. He’s a comic creator whose new book “Cannabis: The Illegalization of Weed in America”.

Brown is a longtime, but lapsed, fan of WWE. The trends of the product have led to him being less dedicated to following televised wrestling. But this week featured a show that rekindled that love and has the entire panel excited for what’s to come: Double or Nothing from All Elite Wrestling.

It wasn’t perfect. But it was a great first step for a fledgling promotion that has the money and roster to compete with WWE for attention. We’ll go over everything that worked and what didn’t work… and take a quick look at what RAW’s response to the show was.
