Ahead of AEW's Double or Nothing, Chris and Mat do some quick predictions of the matches--without PredictionBot's help. And then, Mat receives an interesting email from a listener claiming to be a better Wrestle Buddy than they guys are, so Chris and Mat play the Newlywed Game in order to prove they know each other. But that doesn't matter, the person who emailed them, Dog Dad Lawyer, comes on the show and ruins the episode.

Adam Cole returns for pretty much the entire episode, and much like his last appearance, we're talking video games--and a little bit about his Halo gear from AEW Revolution. Cole's most recent addiction is to Elden Ring, and he talks about why he loves it so much. Of course, we also talk about the Halo TV show and Cole's favorite game growing up. No, he still hasn't played Little Nemo: The Dream Master for the NES.

While the guys didn't get to record this one live, they're back together again to talk about their favorite wrestling movie, Ready to Rumble. The 2000 film was not well-received by critics, but Mat saw it in theaters--as he was a WCW fan during this time for some reason. Mat and Chris watched it together while they were in Dallas and are now prepared to discuss the best and worst moments of the movie. Also, Mat makes the story structure of this movie sound a lot smarter than it actually is.

Chris and Mat are in Dallas, Texas for Wrestlemania and on night one of the trip, they ordered food from WWE's ghost kitchen. Called Smackadillas, the food was terrible, it took two hours to be delivered, it was cold, and the journey up the mountain was just as weird as the view from the top. The guys rate each of the Smackadillas they ordered and discuss their takeaways as they record Wrestle Buddies for the first time in person.
