This week, the guys talk about the sudden death of Chyna, aka Joanie Laurer. Her greatest memories in the ring for WWF/E are relived and the guys talk about how much she really did for women in wrestling and how overlooked it was back then.

The holidays are over and the Straight Shooters are back! On this week’s edition of The Straight Shooters, Nick and Vaughn talk about the shoulder injury to John Cena and its ramifications heading into the biggest show of the year, WrestleMania. They also talk about the reported WWE acquisitions of AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson from New Japan Pro Wrestling and what it means for not only the future of WWE, but also the future of NJPW. And we’ll explain why WWE isn’t exactly “raiding” NJPW’s talent, which is the popular narrative right now.
Brian Isley from BoomBoxLife Radio also joins the guys during the second half of the show to talk a bit more about Cena’s injury, the NJPW talent that’s reportedly coming to WWE, and Monday Night Raw’s weird, weird ending. Nobody was a fan of it.
Make sure you tune in next week! The guys will be live commentating the 1992 WWE Royal Rumble, the only other Rumble match in history that had the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line before Roman Reigns defends his at this year’s event.

Monday Night Raw’s first episode of 2016 got off to a hot start, as WWE tried to begin the new year by advertising a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match a week in advance. Oh, and Vince McMahon would also be the special guest referee.
The AT&T Center in San Antonio, T.X. played host to one of the most convoluted endings in a main event I can long remember. But, not long after that, Vince McMahon redeemed some questionable creative decisions and made a huge announcement that’ll change the entire Royal Rumble match on January 24th.
If you haven’t been paying attention to WWE lately, Vince McMahon being back on television is a huge deal, and ratings have gone up since he’s been back. Will he continue to show up week after week? In short, if the ratings keep going up, then yes.

With 2015 coming to an end, Vaughn and I list our top 10 matches in WWE for the year for our Christmas present to you. Needless to say, there are a few matches we differ on that makes Vaughn question me, I think. Oh, well. He can deal. And so can I. Maybe. Listen!

You can listen live every Thursday night at 6:30pm or catch us on replay right here.
Maybe, just maybe, Darrelle Revis should not lie about being hacked and just own up to being an idiot on social media? You'd think these professional sports teams would give seminars on how athletes need to use social media, but the more and more we see stuff like this, the more I wonder if they really do educate their athletes on using it?
Anyway, that's all I got. And...

Liberty Broadcast Co. and Wildfire Radio are teaming up to bring you Bar Talk with Glen Macnow and Joe Sixpack. Wildfire Radio will be producing the show while Liberty Broadcast will be syndicating it.
The first podcast will be on March 11th, at 6:30pm from the Rose Tree Inn in Media.
The idea is to do a weekly podcast from there, at least the first few weeks. From the press release:
Two of Philadelphia's best-known media personalities have joined to create the first beer-focused podcast live from Philadelphia.Longtime sports talker Glen Macnow and Don Russell, the writer behind beer reporter Joe Sixpack, have launched BAR TALK - a sudsy, downloadable hour-long conversation about all things beer.
BAR TALK features newsy updates on beer trends, taste tests, interviews with brewery personalities, and of course candid talk about the delights of drinking beer. The fun banter wanders from beer into sports and movies and pop culture - just as it would when two friends belly up to their favorite bar to trade stories.
BAR TALK is exactly the kind of witty, upbeat conversation you might find yourself overhearing at your favorite tap room. Crack open a cold one, plug in your earphones - or come out to one of the live shows.
Who didn't see Glen Macnow getting involved in a podcast like this? More:
With the explosion of craft beer brands across America, there's never been more talk about beer. BAR TALK focuses on the fun and enjoyment of craft beer, with casual yet illuminating conversation between Glen & Joe about beer trends and drinking culture, interviews with experts, informative beer appreciation segments and tasting evaluations of new brands.It 's aimed at listeners interested in keeping up with the fast-changing world of beer. It's not a classroom lecture though. Instead, expect a fast-paced hour with a lively give-and-takebetween two unapologetic, opinionated beer lovers.
Each show is recorded before a live audience at area bars, restaurants and other venues - a sure draw that guarantees a spontaneous hour of entertainment.
Somehow I don't see how this show won't get a whole lot of sponsors. Sounds like a great idea. If you're interested in sponsoring on their show, click here. More here and here.
