The Good, The Bad, and The Hungee is back after a one-week hiatus. Tyler is flying solo today due to Fred showing off his large intelligence and we have quite the show to discuss.

Blood and Guts had the makings of a great show, but it was marred by an insane amount of logic gaps. Where is the continuity with this company? The multiple gaps of logic ruined a potentially great episode of Dynamite and Tyler breaks it all down.

Please like, share, and subscribe so Forbidden Door is a great show like its predecessors.

Now that we are past Forbidden Door, All Elite Wrestling is in the process of building up the card for All In. The show might not have the same cache as the first rendition at Wembley Stadium last year, but the card looks significantly stronger. The card is led by the two big title matches, as Bryan Danielson and Mariah May will take on Swerve Strickland and Timeless Toni Storm after winning the Owen Hart Memorial Tournament. 

May's turn is one of the more memorable turns in recent memory and Storm's selling of the vicious attack took it to another level. Hosts Tyler and Fred discuss that and more from a very newsworthy Dynamite.

Please like, share, and subscribe so Forbidden Door is a great show like its predecessors.
