Kris and David are back to discuss the week that was November 19-25, 2004. Topics of discussion include:

• Two years into their ownership of TNA, Panda Energy is facing major losses and may have to sell the company.
• Jerry Jarrett reportedly winning a power battle over his son Jeff and replacing him as the head booker with Dusty Rhodes in a move that also means that Vince Russo's power diminishes in the promotion as well.
• Johnny B. Badd and Randy Savage both showing up on TNA Impact in a wild time in the promotion's history.
• Some wacky Vince Russo interviews as well which have to be heard to be believed.
• The end of the original incarnation of Zero-One, as Shinya Hashimoto closes the doors due to some major financial losses.
• Konnan making his return to AAA and how big of a deal that was..
• Big shows from IWA Puerto Rico featuring some big names.
• Sabu almost dying after a serious virus ravaged his body.
• CM Punk cutting a shoot promo on Rob Feinstein during an IWA Mid-South show while wearing a Perverted Justice shirt, which ended up driving a fresh wedge between Punk and Ian Rotten.
• The story of Jerry Lawler's house almost being robbed by a Memphis cop.
• The early teases of Batista/HHH breaking up on a Raw that also featured the wild Shelton Benjamin/Trish Stratus parody of the controversial Terrell Owens/Nicolette Sheridan skit that served as Monday Night Football’s cold open a week earlier.
• A Big Show Thanksgiving on Smackdown featuring a crazy promo by Luther Reigns and a food fight to boot.

This was an extremely fun show, so check it out!!!
