Recorded mere minutes after Survivor Series, the guys give their thoughts on both Full Gear and War Games with a morsel of NXT in this week's LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM

Full Gear Preview and last night's AEW Dynamite has Jeff going into theories. Like what if the Devil that doesn't exist is CM Punk. Chris humors him. 

In the news: Nick Aldis and if either WWE or AEW is a better fit if either wants to sign him this time around. Then THE LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM: ICE COLD TAKES on Crown Jewel; promos from Iyo/Asuka, Xavier and MJF to the Saraya/Britt promo that did more harm than good. The ridiculous lack of telling a story in the Seth Rollins/Bobby Lashley/Austin Theory angle, the lack of planning for Full Gear. PLUS: Chris tells a Gallagher story.

This week: Jeff Jarrett gets another check, the WWE is making bank, NXT is making cuts and booking arenas it can't fill. Colt Cabana makes an appearance as does Shibata, and did they beat Damage CTRL just to make a political statement in Saudi Arabia?

Plus: Chris tells us about his day as a professional basketball coach.

We talk a few signings by both companies then the LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM: Jeff re-watched both Halloween Havoc 1989 and 1990 which is full of tag team wrestling; NXT Halloween Havoc ice cold thoughts, could Katana Chance as a heel work, the MJF promo, what the hell was that ending to Raw and we ask the question: is karaoke actually fun? 

This week, we talk Chris Jericho re-signing, Ace Steel departing, and CM Punk possibly being bought out. Karl Anderson is double booked, leading Chris to rant about people who worry about integrity in pro wrestling. Then, the LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM. MJF's promo is one of the more fantastic things this year, Halloween Havoc is this weekend, Jeff hates heel color commentators and MORE!
