Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez return tonight for the post-Hell in the Cell PPV radio show! It’s a huge show, nearly an hour on strictly the PPV itself. We open with some thoughts from Dan Wahlers, who was at the event live, talking the strange crowd reactions for some of the matches, who was surprisingly hated, pre- and post-show shenanigans, and more. Then Dave and I had an at-time spirited debate about the pluses and minuses of the show, plus Dave has news on why Punk is in the dog house and changes to the Intercontinental Title match. A fun show, so check it out!
