At the end of a very busy week the Cassock Club gets together to talk about AEW Dynamite - Grand Slam and their favorite moments from this incredible show. They also unveil a new segment and - perhaps resulting from nothing more than sheer exhaustion - spend more time than usual talking about liturgical colors, clergy vestments, and Episcopal churc…

Late on a Sunday night (and for one of the hosts, early on a Monday morning) after a long day of church work, the Cassock Club rode the wave that was AEW's All Out into this special recap episode. Favorite matches, surprise (and expected) appearances and general feedback are all covered from the East Coast, West Coast and Gulf Coast. Did the show l…

A little more than 48 hours from potentially the biggest pay-per-view in AEW history, the Cassock Club convenes to run through the match card and offer their predictions. Is this where we see the ghost of Adam Cole rise to haunt Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks? Does Lana show up to impact Miro's TNT title match? Will we see the arrival of Bryan Dan…

Where were you on August 20, 2021 when CM Punk blew the roof off of the United Center in Chicago? In this special post-AEW Rampage episode, the Club talks about this instant classic in wrestling history - the crowd pop, his genuine promo, the smiles and crowd surfing, and the way Punk's return seemed to be cathartic not only for him but for wrestli…

After a longer-than-expected hiatus, the Club is back - and their return coincides with one of the most exciting times in wrestling history. After talking about how much the industry has changed in the past several months and the great things that could be on the horizon, our hosts - in keeping with their theme of being back - roll out their newest…

The Club takes a huge step into the big leagues in this episode as they welcome podcasting legend Nick Wiger to the announcers table. Nick is cohost of the podcasts "The Doughboys" and "How Did This Get Played?", a writer for the Disney Plus series "Earth to Ned," and both an Emmy Award and Writers Guild of America Award nominee. (In fact, Nick has…

After an extended hiatus - sort of like John Cena being away from WWE, but without all of the Experian commercials - the Cassock Club is back for the kickoff of season two! The priestly pundits of the wrestling world offer their picks for this week's Royal Rumble and share their favorite Rumble moments from years past. But before any of that, enjoy…

Christmas time is here (almost), and so in this episode the Club gifts listeners with their predictions for this Sunday's TLC pay-per-view. They also offer their resolutions for 2021 (perhaps "wishes" is a better word) for how they want to see the wrestling industry turn around (spoiler: WWE is a particular target). If that's not enough, Matt manag…

In this episode Matt takes the unprecedented step of seizing the moderator's spot (listen for the He-Man reference as he takes control) to guide a lively debate between Worth and Michael on championship belts and the wrestlers they think are most associated with each. (Spoiler: Matt doesn't think there's nearly enough talk about Lita.) Listen as we…

In this episode the Club welcomes Matt back from his brief absence by taking a deep dive into the career of the Gobbledy Gooker - for all of about three seconds (which oddly enough is almost the same length as his career). In the aftermath of AEW Dynamite, the guys talk about the incredible moments from the show, why it feels so monumental, and wha…

In this episode the Club prepares for this weekend's Survivor Series - and the latest battle for the prestigious Golden Cincture and the bragging rights that come with it - by giving their match predictions (with Matt praying that FINALLY the Cincture will come to its new home on the East Coast). Have you ever heard the phrase "phoning it in"? Well…

In this week's episode the Club introduces a new Trinity list, with each host giving their top three favorite wrestler entrance themes. Here's a secret: it was hard to pick, and the honorable mention lists include just as many great ones as the main roster - even one with some truly horrendous lyrics. Michael covers a couple of his regular segments…

In this week's episode the Club rejoices as Michael puts the Golden Cincture on the line for Saturday's AEW Full Gear Pay per View, and they respond by sharing their picks for the match card. Apparently, the feeling that Matt was broken in last week's episode takes an even sharper turn when Michael and Worth hear some pretty broken picks. How broke…

On one of the most important days of the church calendar, the Club listens to Michael rejoice over recapturing the Golden Cincture and talk about how all of heaven and earth (in this case, his shower, floor and refrigerator) are rejoicing about this news. Why? #justcause. We also have fun with a first-time event, a watch along of a classic (and we …

In anticipation of the next battle for the Golden Cincture, the Club this week rolls out their picks for Hell in a Cell. (Spoiler: Matt's contrarian picks mean he will either win running away or finish a very distant third.) Worth leads another great segment of "push or bury" conversation about current wrestling angles, and Michael covers his Heat …

This week the Club takes the unprecedented step of demonstrating how they think WWE could have rolled out an incredible draft by holding their own "Build a Federation" draft. Each of the hosts offers six picks on whom they would build their own wrestling organizations, and some of their choices may surprise you. Michael covers his Talkin' Indies, H…

This week the Club uses "Lucky Number Seven" to continue the "Trinity Series" with the unveiling of their Trinity of all-time favorite finishers and a few honorable mentions (spoiler: this was a tough one, and sadly, Chris Masters didn't make the cut). They also cover their latest "Push or Bury" storylines, and Michael gets in his Talkin' Indies an…

This week the Club announces the new, reigning, defending holder of The Golden Cincture: The Rev. Worth Stuart, who came out on top in our Clash of Champions match picks. Despite that, The Rev. Michael Sahdev refuses to be sour and has his sights set on recapturing it at the next Pay-per-View (The Rev. Matt Rhodes is simply happy to be here and con…
