    On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we return to 2012 TNA, where AJ Styles is shirking his responsibilities as a father to be by running off to Australia, so Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are throwing Claire Lynch a baby shower! Do the right thing, AJ, please. Save us from this angle. Also on this episode, the accusations against James Storm continue to pile up, the BFG series continues in its confusing glory, and Madison Rayne is winning matches via screwjobs because she's screwing Earl Hebner's job.

    On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we head to 1999 to celebrate Adam Copeland and Christian Cage...by watching the promo that tanked their first big gimmick. The Brood breaks their silence, and frankly we all wished they would have shut up. But it's also the first episode of Smackdown, and it's time for a MERGER FROM HELL. But also it's 1999 WWF, so all the matches are garbage. Won't you join us?

And with it, the most unholy of WWE sketches: Photoshop comedy. But God isn't out of this yet. Also on this episode, more May 19 shenanigans, ANOTHER HANDICAP MATCH, and Austin learning how to stop worrying and love the Mickie/Trish feud. Won't you join us?
