Sean gives us the rundown on his weekend of live shows, overflowing with TNA gems, Adam raises a good point about the history of Women’s Royal Rumbles, the Original Host of the A Show makes a cameo from his car, Uncle Naitch poses an unexpected Wrestlemania opponent for Sami Zayn, and Rachel argues vehemently against media scrubbing.

How can Pretty Deadly score a win? We explore these questions and more on this week’s four-cornered episode of The ILW Lounge!

While most of the world slows down during the holidays, the gift of professional wrestling keeps on giving us treats like NXT: Deadline and Saturday Night Main Event. We’d like to honor Fraxiom not just as Workhorse of the Week but Tag Team of the Year. Uncle Naitch revisits the 10th Anniversary of NXT R-Evolution, Adam almost has to change his theme music, Frolf is impressed top-to-bottom by the Women’s Iron Survivor Match, Audio Sean has one small nitpick about Piper Niven vs. Bianca, and Rachel might have to start paying attention to Myles Borne.

Matty Ice cleared his schedule and is ready to watch NXT: Deadline live, Audio Sean , and Rachel celebrates Shinsuke Nakumara’s win as the new United States Champion,

We’re the ILW Lounge, we bring the pod to you, it’s what we do. There’s so much to be thankful for with War Games on the horizon, a new women’s tournament off to a promising start, and one of the best Smackdown endings in history. Uncle Naitch celebrates B-Fab’s debut match, Audio Sean foresees a feud with LA Knight in Shinsuke’s future, Matty Ice discovers a new nickname, Adam is shocked by Rachel’s Workhorse of the Week, and The Queen of Wrestling Threads has some things to say about AEW.
