Top Marks

Just like the man formerly known as Dean Ambrose reunited with his good friends Chris and Cody, the #goodfriends have come together to break down a monster week in the world of wrestling. We review the launch of AEW with Double or Nothing, dish on Jon Moxley's tell-all interview with Chris Jericho, and tee up this Sunday's seemingly forgotten NXT TakeOver XXV.

Against all odds, with the crowd against him, sometimes a man's gotta walk alone. This week that man is J Mo, as he delivers the take the #goodfriends don't want to hear: why Brock Lesnar winning Money In The Bank is good. Josh is upset that the briefcase isn't being used to make a star, while J Mo argues it is! And that star is Seth Rollins. PLUS: Our full review of Money In The Bank, including Bayley's cash-in and a surprisingly strong performance on the mic during the pre-show. We preview AEW's premier event DOUBLE OR NOTHING, and give our thought's on WWE's new 24/7 championship. Also: we're aware that Omega vs Jericho is not for the AEW title. That was a goof-em-up.

The #goodfriends are back and finally ready to show you our secret... It's the Money In The Bank 2019 preview show but more than that we're back to condemn Lars Sullivan, praise Sami Zayn's creative control, stand in awe of the new Bray Wyatt, and peek at Twitter for updates on Big E's thirst for Becky Lynch's mom, the search for Stokely's CD player, and Charlotte and Andrade's sex life.

Yowie Wowie! Coming to you late after a rough week, the #goodfriends are back with a Top Marks After Dark on a number of topics that have only become more pressing in the days since we recorded. With WWE TV ratings plummeting, we examine why that is in the context of what drives interest in pro sports. Hint: no one wants to watch a bad team! PLUS: Return of the Mox! The man formerly known as Dean Ambrose returns to the indies with an incredible video promo. Why are the indies, whether that's Mox or Joey Janela's work with GCW, able to destroy WWE's production values? Roommate of the show Mike Noble joins us for Question Period.

IT'S EPISODE 100, BABY! Bray Wyatt returns, Kevin Owens reveals his true nature, Bayley starts her ascent with a loss, the Shake-Up continues to make no sense, and The Viking Experience has probably changed names another five times since we recorded.

The Superstar Shake-up makes for two weeks in a row of bad WWE TV, but how much can we complain after a stellar WrestleMania? Turns out: a lot! The Viking Experience with Erik and Ivar is a disaster, Luke Harper requests his release, and we break down the one thing preventing Bray Wyatt's success that has nothing to do with writing or performance.

The fog has lifted and we've shaken out of our hungover stupor in time to look back at the show that was WrestleMania 35, one of the best WrestleManias of all time, or certainly in recent memory.

The #goodfriends are reunited this week as The Janitor throws Gary in a dumpster and reclaims his rightful seat as co-host of Top Marks! We review Fastlane, look ahead to Mania, compliment Vince on leaning in to being a racist villain opposite Kofi, and listener questions have us ponder a pair of dating Qs: Which wrestler would you let style you before going out with someone, and which wrestling T-shirt is the most embarrassing to wear on a first date.

Josh has been cancelled to the Negative Zone after last week's gaffe, but the show must go on! Justin is joined by Josh's cousin Gary to preview Fastlane, talk about the Shield's reunion, and wonder if the circuitous route to WrestleMania has actively cooled off Becky Lynch.

Just like The Big Dog, the #goodfriends are back, baby! And we did it all for you, the fans. There's no one like you. We love you. And we're here to break down a HUGE week in the Fed, as WWE got the road to WrestleMania on track a week after feeling up creek without a paddle. Roman's in remission, Ronda relinquishes, Batista's back, Owens stuns SmackDown, KofiMania hits a road block, and the first Raw after Prichard's return is... very good??? And Rousey's tweets are... very bad??? We break it all down. Support the show at www.patreon.com/TopMarks for access to the donor show, Bonus Marks!

Like WWE on the road to WrestleMania, the #goodfriends are back and do not appear to have a plan for this episode. We break down the latest wave of call-ups and the inauspicious starts to their main roster careers. PLUS: Can WWE's current woes / utter lack of long-term vision be ascribed to Vince McMahon's preoccupation with the XFL? Is Kevin Owens doomed for Batista treatment? Can anyone other than Kofi Kingston face Bryan at Mania? And we review Elimination Chamber 2019. Support the show at www.patreon.com/TopMarks for access to the donor show, Bonus Marks!
