http://offthetoprope.libsyn.com/episode-38...er-to-dismember Mike and Rex kick the week off talking about this past weekend's Fantasy Draft, which you can listen to right here. After that, it's talk about Chris Hero, ROH's production issues, Raw, Handicap Matches galore, a great ending that looks like it might get ignored, and more. Then, it's Impact talk, particularly about 27 minutes of wrestling in a two hour show. After the break, it's the show that killed ECW as it's own brand, December to Dismember! Week three in our month of bad wrestling brings us a very long opener, a bunch of seven minute matches, and a main event that brought TNA chants. We name…

This week on the Indy Project it was Murray, Billy and I (Sam) and we discussed Hero's re-entrance into the independent scene and what it means. At 30 minutes into the show we interview Steve King from 2CW, which is based out of Upstate NY. The interview lasts about 20 minutes but is certainly worth a listen. We discuss the upcoming 2CW internet show on Saturday, November 23rd. In the last part of the episode we discuss Beyond Wrestling's Tournament for Tomorrow 2 which is taking place this weekend. Here's the link to the show.
