Binge SportsCast:Lucha Underground, WWE Payback, William Corrigan Joins TNA & More

Yep, that smokin’ hot lady on the main page is a wrestler, and so is the blonde you see above, so you’re welcome for that. And they’re damn good wrestlers too. Oh yeah, welcome to the Binge Sportscast.

Lucky you! Due to the WWE scheduling a surprise PPV at the end of this month, this is the first of two wrestling podcasts that you’ll get this month. It’s a little out of the ordinary, but my Binge Sportscast “contract” states that I get my regular bi-weekly spot during the week and a wrestling version every time there’s a pay-per-view, so I’ll take it.

Before I get into the heart of this week’s show, I talked in the intro about what’s coming up later this week. I’ll be talking more about the NHL and NBA Playoffs, but there’s something else that’s been a big topic in the sports world and we all know what it is. Tom Brady’s balls have been dominating the headlines and our resident New Englander, Jack (aka MovieFreak) has been annoying all of us with his status updates, so I’m leaving this to you. I said that I wouldn’t talk about it, but I’d be willing to go back on my word if you feel that Jack coming on the show and ranting would be as entertaining as I think it could be. But in the essence of fairness, we’re going to do this the democratic way. And if there’s one thing you know I like, it’s a good fan vote. So where do you stand? Should we let Jack finally get this out of his system?

Oh right, there’s actually a 90 minute show to discuss. Well, it’s Sunday, so as per usual, it’s Batch and I talking wrestling, wrestling, and more wrestling. At the request of some of our listeners, we spend the first half of the show discussing a promotion that we really hadn’t touched on yet, and honestly, it’s one of the best things going in professional wrestling today: Lucha Underground. We talk about its origins, what drew us to it, who the stars are, and the surprising production they can afford. No, seriously, they’ve got Robert Rodriguez doing some of the producing. It’s fantastic. And those two ladies that you’ve seen are also part of Lucha, so there’s that. And you get to listen to Batch do his best Dario Cueto impression. Even if you hate the rest, that makes the show completely worth listening to.

We then turn our attention to the WWE and discuss the Stephanie McMahon interview with Chris Jericho, the unfortunate Daniel Bryan situation, what to do with the Intercontinental Championship, and the new season of Tough Enough. We do a very quick rundown of NXT before getting into the Payback pay-per-view match by match.

I’ll be back later this week with more talk of the NBA and NHL Playoffs, and depending on how you voted, Jack will be joining me to discuss the situation in New England. Batch and I will be back two weeks from today to discuss the Elimination Chamber and I’m sure we’ll get into his ROH experience as well. Until then, you can find us on Twitter @BingeSports, follow Batch @multiversefive, and catch me @THElukenorris. Enjoy.
