On this episode, Rich will discuss professionalism in the wrestling business, among other things. The conversation centers around a list, posted by Brutal Bob Evans on Facebook, of 34 ways to be professional in the wrestling business. Rich will give his opinion on a bunch of the items on that last, good and bad, then transition into talking about two of his recent Facebook posts which outlined Rich's personal dos and don'ts for people who want to work with his promotion specifically.

Finally, Rich will update us on RPW Homecoming 3 (5/31) and RPW Destiny 5 (9/27) and the stacked cards for each show and tell us about the unique contest he is running with a fan vote for RPW Homecoming.

Our Youtube Recommendation of the week is Millennium Pro Wrestling "Love Drunk" which was uploaded to Youtube over the weekend, featuring a champion vs champion match in the main event, and our discovery of a new Indy Wrestling Experience favorite, Hydie. Go check it out!

Bob, Jon and Rich also discuss Hollyhood Haley J leaving OVW for Booker T's school in Texas and the recent announcement that WWE is bringing EVOLVE back with weekly TV to air on Tubi. Bob thinks all of this is bad for the business and, as usual, claims this is all tied to WWE ID and the sky is falling.
