JustinMorisTop Marks - 124 - When TV Is PPVsThe #goodfriends return to talk about a slew of red-hot TV specials from AEW and NXT, TV good enough to outshine actual PPVs. Plus thoughts on Paul Heyman's exit from WWE creative, EVIL's big win in New Japan, and if Bruce Prichard or anyone at WWE is capable of creating a moment as dramatic as we witnessed at NJPW Dominion. The guys also dish on when they would feel comfortable returning to a movie theatre, and share some thoughts ahead of Impact's Slammiversary and WWE's Extreme Rules cards (sorry for the delay, it was my birthday).

JustinMorisUNLOCKED: Bonus Marks - 7 - King Of The Ring 1995UNLOCKED: Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of this horrendous PPV, easily the worst thing we've been forced to watch to date. And to celebrate that history, this special Bonus Marks has been unleashed from behind the paywall. Enjoy!
The #goodfriends are back in action for the red hot return of Bonus Marks! We finally dive in to King of the Ring 1995, a punishingly bad pay-per-view that highlights a real low point in wrestling. We hated watching this, so that you may enjoy hearing about it. Also: a live commentary for the tag team main event, Diesel & Bam Bam Bigelow vs...

JustinMorisTop Marks - 116 - The Fiend And The FuriousBetter late than never, the #goodfriends talk about an unreal bad finish to Hell In A Cell as WWE booked themselves into a corner they didn't need to put themselves in. Meanwhile, the insanely awful end of the show overshadows a pair of tremendous matches to open the show: Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks, and Daniel Byran & Roman Reigns vs Rowan & Harper, which over-delivered by leaps and bounds.

Because of the deal I signed, I'll be here as things get dark
We can't score, and no chance we win one more

If the LA Kings decide they are truly satisfied
With the depth they have on their left-wing side
If there's no one beside you at the faceoff marks

It's been an eternity since my last healthy scratch

It’s snacking season, baby! No better way to enjoy the NFL season than with some quality chips and dip. But which chips are best? And John comes out swinging against dip in general.

PLUS: Speaking of video games, we go deep on games we expect to see on the PlayStation Classic and N64 Classic.

This surely has to be the most vacuous and empty episode yet. ...of Young Sheldon, that is! Because Real Good Sheldon keeps the laughs coming, I assure you. It's the moment we've all been waiting for: the Elon Musk cameo.

JustinMorisTop Marks - 51 - Questionable ContentWrestling is so bad this week that we break the format and do an extended Mailbag episode doing nothing but answering your questions, because fuck me if I'm supposed to come up with three topics after an abysmal Monday Night Raw broke our spirits this week. It was just awful. We get into it a bit about why Raw is so broken, but beyond that it's all listener questions, baby!

JustinMorisReal Good Show - 145 - The Dildo in the CupboardThis week on the show that knows you've seen its hot tub body, the Real Good Boys go far too deep theorizing what would happen if you put a dildo into the magic cupboard from the seminal film, "Indian in the Cupboard". PLUS: Luca Sbisa might win a Cup! Small Soldiers! Kamloops! And we answer the age-old question: would you accept your dream body if it also meant you were pale green?

JustinMorisTop Marks - 50 - All Out (Of Tickets)The #goodfriends are strapped for time this week and frankly the wrestling world's not that interesting at the moment so we're only breaking down the Top 2 stories this week instead of the usual three. And this week they are:
1. All In sold out! Justin walks us through the ticket-buying experience before the #goodfriends discuss the show itself and what this means for indie wrestling.
2. Daniel Bryan's return! Because nothing is sacred when it comes to internet commentary, people have already soured on the D. Bry revival. Is there merit to the complaints, or is this a bunch of cockamamie bullshit?

JustinMorisReal Good Show - 144 - Nim-Nims (with Nima Gholamipour)This week on the show that didn't have Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant carrying us down the court, improvisor NIMA GHOLAMIPOUR joins the show to discuss his basketball skills, why John should be the next coach of the Raptors, Power Rangers, and what's worse: bad improv or bad stand-up. PLUS: What's the show worth? The CJFL makes headlines for all the wrong reasons! Justin lost his job! And John displays a startling knowledge of MTV's My Sweet Sixteen.

JustinMorisTop Marks - 49 - Craplash (or Backlashley)It's been a week full of stumbles and missteps for WWE, and unlike Monday Night Raw and Backlash, this is one episode of Top Marks that is not painfully dull. The #goodfriends are back to slog through the weekly TV and try to make sense what can only be described as a mess, as they break down the top 3 stories in the world of professional wrestling. And this week they are:
1. WWE Backlash 2018 review. This show sucked. More like Craplash, am I right?
2. Bobby Lashley. The man finally got some mic time this week. Could it have gone any worse?
