That was really awesome. Great job WH!

I enjoyed the episode! Looking forward to the next one.

Really great episode and loved the discussion about Ring Gear, especially the Jackets and where the wearing of them originates from. (It was a theory Eddie has about the guys being trained by Dory Funk, who’s peers would all wear jackets to the ring in that era)
