Contempt... Scorn... Derision... DISDAIN... KILL YOURSELF!!  Nowadays, WWE fans are accustomed to a world in which the grapply reaches inside their trousers and makes all their dreams come true. This was not the case in 2015 when Vinceism reigned supreme and your grapply desires were beaten black & blue by the cold, hard reality of The Disdain Era. But is this particular peak of Disdain WWE actually better than the Twisty Era of today? Will there be Twistys along the way? And perhaps most importantly, what will the Grapplometer™ make of all this? It's time to suffer our succotash and find out. ::  Musical intro [0:00:00] Start of conversation, why we picked this show, experiences with 2015 WWE, disdain era v twisty era [0:02:45] TV notes in the lead-up to the Royal Rumble [0:20:14] Connor's TV twisty listy (best TV matches watched) [1:28:31] Connor's top wrestlers of the month [1:56:26] E's TV twisty listy [2:12:59] E's top wrestlers of the month [2:20:33] Kickoff show including New Day v Cesaro & Tyson Kidd [2:26:50] Main show begins with The New Age Outlaws v The Ascension [2:45:28] The Usos v The Miz & Damien Mizdow for the WWE tag titles [3:00:05] Natalya & Paige v The Bella Twins [3:19:44] Brock Lesnar v John Cena v Seth Rollins for the WWE title [3:37:50] The Royal Rumble match pre-Bryan elimination [4:10:47] The Royal Rumble match post-Bryan elimination [5:02:41] Verdict [5:44:02] GRAPPLOMETER [5:50:44] What's next & outro [5:53:05] ::  Music used in episode:  Ryuichi Sakamoto - The Revenant Main Theme  Jamie xx - I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times) ft.

As per the request of Akira Maeda's final and perhaps greatest protégé, Drew Galloway, we open wide for Big Mouth Loud's "Reallusion" show from 2006. It's time to watch old men pokin' ass, awkwardly say goodbye to a man who hates grapply and see Alan Karaev go down to a 4/10 punch. ::  I purchased a headset especially for the show but sadly it's bad as a microphone (somehow worse than the first episode where I was just talking into a tablet lol) - I will have a better microphone in the next episodes, so hopefully this is the end of the inferior audio issues. Sorry about that and I hope the show is still enjoyable! ::  Musical intro [0:00:00] Start of conversation, why we picked this show, BML background info, Akira Maeda being a grouch [0:01:54] Manabu Hara & Osamu Kido v Don Arakawa & Munenori Sawa [0:32:22] Katsumi Usuda v Hiroyuki Ito [0:39:45] Masanobu Kurisu v Tatsuo Nakano [0:44:01] Akira Maeda leaves Big Mouth Loud, grouchily [0:51:36] Jinsei Shinzaki & Yoshitsune v Alexander Otsuka & Rasse [0:57:45] Takashi Iizuka & Yuji Nagata v Enson Inoue & Kazunari Murakami [1:08:20] Alan Karaev v Katsuyori Shibata [1:26:25] BONUS, Alan Karaev v Bob Sapp, MMA fight from Hero's 2 [1:33:05] Reallusion outro, Fumihiko Uwai has no moneys [1:37:20] Verdict [1:40:38] GRAPPLOMETER [1:43:28] What's next & outro [1:44:25] ::  Music used in episode: Rich Boy - Throw Some Ds Neckle Camp - Countdown Remix ft.
