IT’S THE LAS VEGAS ROAD REPORT SHOW~! No wrestling. Very little MMA. All debauchery. This show is not for children or the weak of heart. Join myself, Vinny, Ed in San Antonio, Peachmachine and Plipster as we recount the stuff that happened when we weren’t covering UFC. What happens in Vegas doesn’t necessarily stay in Vegas here at the EMPIRE, though several names have been changed to protect the innocent. Listener beware.
