**The Wrestling Podcast — Episode 2**

**1. Batista vs. JBL (Friday Night SmackDown, 2005 — Texas Bull Rope Match)**
This match was insane. They did it on Friday Night SmackDown and it was an awesome Texas Bull Rope Match. JBL was a crazy, awesome heel in 2005 during his WWE Championship reign. JBL ranks in the top 5 all-time great heels.

**2. WALTER vs. Ilja Dragunov (NXT UK Championship, October 29, 2020)**
This is one of the best NXT UK matches of all time. It was a real wrestling match — they beat the hell out of each other. An all-time classic for the NXT United Kingdom Championship.

**3. Gunther vs. Ricochet (Intercontinental Championship, SmackDown, December 16, 2022)**
One of the best midcard championship matches of 2022. It was awesome — and it's hard to believe it's already been three years.

**4. Ilja Dragunov vs. Carmelo Hayes — Booking Pitch**
Their matches are awesome — they go for broke every time. The suggestion: after WrestleMania 42, put this match together for the United States Championship, and add Trick Williams to make it a Triple Threat for the title.

**5. Kenny Omega vs. Hangman Adam Page (AEW World Championship, 2020–2021)**
This match was insane. Kenny's "4 Belts" run back in 2020–2021 was legendary. If Kenny Omega wins back the AEW World Championship, we could be looking at Kenny 4 Belts 2.0.

Great episode outline, Allen — strong mix of match reviews and original booking ideas.
