This is the show where I quiz my buddy and Defunct Games cohort Lorne Riseley to see how much he knows about video games, and today we have a very special episode in store.

Although I don't know much about wrestling, Lorne does, so I wanted to quiz him to see if he would be able to match the quote with the WWE superstar. This is a super-sized episode where we end up spending quite a bit of time talking about the wrestlers and history of the sport. How will Lorne do?

We learn a lot.
