Special Guest: Lee Gonzalez (Lee XL)

This week isn’t about wins and losses.

It’s about commitment.

Storylines. Title reigns. Promos. Characters. When wrestling commits, it thrives. When it panics, it collapses. And with special guest Lee Gonzalez (Lee XL) at the table, we break down what real commitment in professional wrestling actually looks like — from a wrestler’s perspective.

🔥 Booked or Cooked
Garrett opens with a deep dive into CM Punk’s layered storytelling with Roman Reigns and Finn Bálor — old-school psychology, meaningful promos, and elevating Balor back into a credible main-event threat.

Then we flip the coin.

Tommaso Ciampa’s 11-day title reign ending against Kyle Fletcher? The match was solid — but the short reign undercut momentum and weakened the championship’s importance. Commitment matters.

Each host delivers their takes, and Lee XL adds real in-ring insight on what works inside the ropes versus what just sounds good in a writers’ room.

👑 Ring Queens
Stephen drops his Top 5 women of the week based on momentum and performance. Lee weighs in on presence versus execution — what separates a star from someone just getting screen time?

🎥 Film Room
Cody leads a storytelling-focused match breakdown. Structure, pacing, crowd psychology, escalation — and Lee adds the wrestler’s lens on what actually makes a match click.

🤠 High Noon Trials
A wrestler or booking philosophy goes on trial. Arguments are made. Verdicts are delivered. Cody drops the ruling. Lee provides perspective before the gavel hits.

🌀 Weird AF
Billy & Chuck’s wedding.
Weeks of build. A full in-ring ceremony. Eric Bischoff’s reveal. 3 Minute Warning chaos. Shock value… and then nothing. The perfect example of wrestling committing fully — then immediately backing out.

🎭 Curtain Call
A reflective close on storytelling, momentum, and why commitment is the most important currency in wrestling. Appreciation for Lee XL and where to follow his journey.
