We touch on this, Megan Bayne, the 4 way & more We turn our attention to the WWE Hall of Fame, will Tony Khan let Sting be a part of Lex's induction? We argue about if the Natural Disasters are a Hall of Fame Tag Team. Another heated argument. We then turn our attention to Homework as HK dropped some indy Buck Zumhofe thing in our laps. We reflect & of course make fun of HK & Tony for this one. Then Brundo sends in a video in an attempt to right the homework ship & assigns us Samoa Joe vs Kenta Kobashi from October 2005 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7RpSxESOFk Sadly HK lost a friend this past weekend from the wrestling community.
