Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks with Gringo Fantastico, Jason Hilton, and Kenny Romero

Well... the Royal Rumble happened. "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico, Jason Hilton, and Kenny Romero give their takes on what could possibly the worst Rumble in history on this three hour episode of the pod. A lack of surprises (aside from Royce Keys and Brie Bella) mixed with empty seats and numb crowd responses didn't help, but neither did the booking (except for Mr. Iguana and La Parka). Fantastico manages to curb his nuclear anger (for the most part), while Jason and Kenny provide calm articulate takes on what went down in Saudi Arabia. Monday Night Raw started off strong, but managed to go downhill quickly. This weekend and Monday was like the end of Empire Strikes Back.

It's Royal Rumble week and the trio of horror host, "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now), Kenny Romero, and Jason Hilton are here to bring you their predictions for the big event taking place this Saturday, January 31st in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. How weird? The guys break down their picks to win it all, their favorite past Royal Rumble moments, their predictions for the actual final four versus their dream final four! Will Gringo's wish for Karrion Kross' return come true? Will Cody Rhodes finally flip his lid and become the evil Homelander Cody we all want and deserve? Find out on this week's episode. It's crazy.

Kenny Romero and "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are flying sans Jason "Turtleneck" Hilton on this informative episode that stays light on the hijinks, hard hitting on the headlines, and heavier on the headlocks. WWE uses Aleister Black and Zelina Vega (not their fault) to give Karrion Kross one hell of a shoot middle finger.

Kenny Romero, Jason "Turtleneck" Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are back for another "fun" filled episode. TKO has priced out the fans. WWE's booking is like watching a sloth chase a dumpster fire down a hill filled with potholes. AEW is trying, but they have their own problems. Fantastico's solution. Talk about something else other than wrestling. Unfortunately, they can't do that as much as he'd like. Maybe next week will be better after the 8am ET, $30 a month Crown Jewel PPV which has no match with any stakes or point (aside from the Kabuki Warriors vs Iyo and Rhea... so she can perform in Australia.) Ugh! When is this s**t going to get any better? #WeStillWantKross, but at least NXT and TNA are somewhat interesting.

Fantastico has just come off of a grueling (just kidding!) two week shoot for Season 4 of "Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre." He's exhausted. He's bitter. He's angry about the world of wrestling.
