The Lost Episode!

Published on: 27th August, 2026

With Mat out sick, it's been a little tough to record, but FEAR NOT! We have episodes on the backburner. This week, it's the original pilot episode for Wrestle Buds that we never released! Some of this episode was actually worked into the REAL episode, but most of it was Chris and Mat finding their groove. There are actually fun moments here, we promise.
