An abbreviated edition of the Cup Check Wrestling podcast as Schulzie and Ace navigate through technical difficulties to ensure a firm curfew can be met.

Cup Check Wrestling 12 - Five Star Classic Review of WrestleMania

Amid illness and air travel, Schulzie and Ace were able to get through both nights of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas! On the aggregate, one of the most morally bankrupt, soulless two-day events that had professional wrestling interrupt its advertisements. However, it remarkably had one of the greatest main events and matches in WrestleMania history, giving WWE fans a glimmer of hope amid the TKO Group bleakness. The boys breakdown a tale of two WrestleMania main events - one of the greatest and one of the worst on back-to-back nights - and everything in between. All while getting off track to determine if Randy Orton has had more great matches than the Miz, argue over what's WWE's perception of a five-star match and dancing on the pro wrestling grave of Pat McAfee.

Cup Check Wrestling Ep. 11 - Vibes Up, Elbows Down at AEW Dynasty

Where the best friends watch the best wrestle! Schulzie and Ace and their loved ones attended AEW's Dynasty pay-per-view event in Vancouver. A terrific, entertaining show that put Schulzie on the broadcast, had Daniel Garcia and the Vancouver Police Department interacting with a familiar face in a hot Vancouver crowd and, unfortunately, featured one or two too many Canadians losing on home soil. The boys react to the big show, the new AEW Men's World champion (NOT Kenny Omega...) and give their predictions for WrestleMania weekend.
