Top Marks - 38 - Ronda Rising

Like the Beer City Bruiser and Ronda Rousey, the #goodfriends are here to raise some hell! We touch on Brock skipping Raw and Cena moving over to SmackDown, and meet our new friend Gil, before settling into the usual three rounds discussing the top 3 stories of the week in the world of professional wrestling. And this week they are: 1. Elimination Chamber review! A predictable show, but did it entertain? Commentary detracts from a great match, and what's going on with all that Gatorade? 2. Honor Rising review! ROH heads to Japan to join forces with NJPW, as the Golden Lovers make their in-ring re-debut, and Beer City Bruiser steals our hearts and nearly steals the show. 3. Ronda Rousey's role in WWE. Can she stand apart from the women's division without crushing it? And does Stephanie's in-ring ability determine how successful her initial run can be? All that plus listener questions have us imagining a wrestling-based JRPG and debating a presidential race between The Rock and LeBron James, the triumphant return of Sunday Night Tweet, and a role-reversal in Keep It or Kick It! It's just what the world needed: another wrestling podcast. Top Marks is now on Patreon! Support the show at patreon.com/TopMarks where $5 gets you access to our donor show Bonus Marks!
