It's 2026, and it's time to Hire Bryan!

Murder Bryan Quinby and Josh Custodio re back for another month of discussing whatever they want within wrestling. In this episode, they talk about WrestleKingdom, Mox as Continental Classic winner, John Cena's retirement and 300 other topics. This is a fun one.

The Sword & Shield are back again. It’s 2026, and they’re rocking it till the wheels fall off.
