The Bryan & Vinny Show returns with our weekend edition! We’re here to discuss a number of topics including a very average ECW show, a very average Smackdown, and an ABOVE-AVERAGE (yes) edition of Impact, at least per recent Impact standards (meaning, it was still pretty bad). We’ve also got some special guests, some new songs, and assorted whackiness. We’ll be back tomorrow night as well with Raw and DCW!

January 5 2008 Bryan and Vinny Show
It’s the weekend Bryan & Vinny Show! We’re back to discuss an average episode of ECW, Celebrity Apprentice with Tito Ortiz and IFL’s Tiffany Fallon, and TNA SCRIMPACT, the infamous show that had its script leaked several weeks back. It was worse on TV than it was on paper if that is even possible, and we spent more time talking about it than an old one-hour Impact without commercials. The bane of my existence, TNA. Check it out!
