Episode 382: Chemistry Of A Heel

On this episode of Grilling JR, the show kicks off with JR's predictions for SummerSlam, as Good Ol' JR shares who he believes will leave WWE's biggest event of the summer with momentum. The guys also recap AEW Redemption, discussing the standout performances, surprises, and what the event means moving forward. The conversation then shifts to the future of rising prospect Cruz Montana, before JR and Conrad break down Jim Cornette's timeless formula for creating a truly great wrestling heel and why the fundamentals of villainy still work today.

Finally, the guys revisit one of the most outrageous moments in sports entertainment history, when Vince McMahon took on God in a tag team match. JR shares his firsthand memories of bringing the unforgettable spectacle to life, what was happening behind the scenes, and why the angle remains one of the most talked-about moments of the Ruthless Aggression Era.
