Also the situation with Jordan Myles/ACH, who made headlines by taking WWE to task through his own social media accounts.

What affect has the recent wrestling boom had on wrestling talent in regards to their public opinions? Is there any good to come from online wrestling chatter?

Plus, Brian begs to get a Brawler action figure, how they were able to do a figure of WCW's KISS Demon, and the story of the Kevin Steen/Owens figure that sent Vince McMahon through the roof!
