It’s the weekend Bryan & Vinny Show~! We’ve got the usual shows to recap including a completely pointless ECW and a TNA show that was, yes, entertaining to the point where I gave it a thumbs up. Of course, that’s for entertainment reasons, as a show to build the PPV it was a failure, and boy was the Jeff Jarrett return the lamest in wrestling history. Also, two guests, including our usual Granny segment and then an appearance by Jereme Warneck to give his first-person account of playing the TNA video game at E3. A packed, nearly 90-minute show to kick off your weekend!

September 9 2008 Bryan and Vinny Show
Gonna warn you right off the bat — fast forward 17 minutes if you want to avoid a complete meltdown. But after that we’re good to go with a full review of Sunday night’s Unforgiven PPV with the three Scramble matches and Jericho vs. Michaels, and Monday night’s Raw with Jericho and JBL vs. Batista headlining and an awesome tag team match. No shout-outs this week because it’s not a free show, and as for the drops — well, never mind.
