December 19 2008 Bryan and Vinny Show
Well, after the worst Bryan & Vinny Show in recorded history we’re back tonight to redeem ourselves with a very fun show! Vinny is back in town and we’ll discuss the latest pro-wrestling shenanigans, including ECW from Tuesday night and Impact, which was one of those shows that seemed all right when it was over but didn’t seem so all right after looking at it again segment-by-segment. We’ve also got a special guest tonight in his first-ever Bryan & Vinny Show appearance — a former star from WWE, ECW and WCW who is currently abiding in a very snowy place if that gives you a hint. A fun time leading into the weekend, so check it out!
