WRESTLEMANIA 42 | Issue 68
Wrestlemania has come and gone, and that means that as per what i said on earlier graps, the WWE coverage of Real Graps has ended. WWE very clearly does not want to make an actual, watchable wrestling show. So we're going to take our business elsewhere, to AEW and beyond, I guess.

On the penultimate WWE-included episode of real graps, we tackle the penultimate smackdown, the go home RAW, NXT Revenge week 1 and the biggest AEW angle in its history on Dynamite.

The Jey Uso Incident | Issue 66
The clock is ticking on WWE. Genuinely, i believe that after wrestlemania we wont have any interest in doing WWE reviews anymore, between Carmelo losing the US title, The impending return of Roman Reigns psychosis, a world where Jade Cargill pins Rhea Ripley at Wrestlemania in anyway, and a Pat Mcafee flanked WWE Champion Randy Orton. meanwhile in NJPW we've got a new champion, and AEW has one of the most ridiculous go home shows. oh and i guess NXT is trying to find its legs coming out of Stand and Deliver.

Vengeance Day? Or Just Another Day At The Office | Issue 62
The final NXT event of the Peacock era and the last one before Stand and Deliver, was very much a "lets just get this over with" NXT PPV. Smackdown has one of the most harrowing show formats ive ever seen, between Jade Cargill, Sami Zayn, and Solo Sikoa. Once again its another week of AEW just doing better by being a normal wrestling company...now only if they could pick up the slack on the women's division.
-
62
Elimination Chamber | Issue 61
With the Chamber in the rear view, we begin the final trek towards probably the most horridly built wrestlemania in franchise history. theres a lack of focus up and down the card even with the title matches that were setup. meanwhile in AEW theyre doing a fantastic job at building new stars and delivering a smorgasbord of wrestling content. Its not glaze, its just the truth.

THE FALL OUT FROM WRESTLEPALOOZA | Issue 37
because tux has prior engagements, this episode was recorded before/during the 9/24 episode of dynamite which is why it isnt discussed on here, but from what we learned during the show it wasnt much of a fall out show. we'll discuss it on the next slate of shows. but this episode details the fall out RAW and the go home NXT before No Mercy, as odd of a go-home episode as it could possibly be.
