20x20Pod is no more?!?!
This is the end..... and a new beginning. Join us on this brief episode so that we can tie a bow on the last two years of the 20x20 POD and look forward to what we will be bringing to you. Stay tuned to all of our social medias (both Pod and Apparel) for any news that comes up during this transition. Even with name changes, your follows on social media and any podcast app SHOULD continue... but if they don't, we will clue everyone in on how to follow us. THANK YOU to anyone who...

20x20's Best of 2020 (Part 2)
Peter and Chris are back and still talking about 2020, because one episode wasn't enough! If you follow 20x20 Apparel on Twitter, you saw our countdown of 100 Moments of the Year. Here, we bring that to you in audio form (again) because our thoughts and nonsense cannot be contained by 240 characters (or one episode). You know we always veer off-topic, and this is another perfect episode for that. Other things we touch on include: too many streaming services; our old rankings of WrestleMania's; Flair's spot in history had he not come back to WWE; Vince doing...

Peter and Chris are back from 1993, and are being joined by Andrew to talk about everyone's favorite wrestling figures of all time. It's our famous #fivecount! We are going with Mattels, Hasbros, LJNs, OSFTM and Jakks. One per line, can't repeat a wrestler, simple enough. And then comes the "drunken ebay purchases" to end the show.

Will Hangman Page always be the bridesmaid and never the bride? Everyone goes over their top five current wrestlers who we think will eventually get that world title opportunity.
