We dive into our affinity for pro wrestling as a youth, Gable Steveson\u2019s foray into the WWE and our opinions on what may have went wrong, our trips to Fargo over the last decade plus, the organizational awesomeness that leads to Team Illinois\u2019 performances in Fargo each and every year and then later, we get into random bad movies like Kingdom of Spiders and some personal favorites like Big Trouble in Little China and They Live!\xa0
