From there, they run through AEW Dynamite (including the Jon Moxley vs. Jake Hager main event), NXT on USA, WWE Smackdown (including Braun Strowman vs. Shinsuke Nakamura), and WWE Raw (including Drew McIntyre's promo, Drew vs. Andrade, and Nia Jax squashing Kairi Sane). Plus the latest on UFC. From there, they answer Mailbag questions on these topics:What was the reason Vince McMahon backed Chris Benoit enough to give him the title win at WrestleMania 20, and is he the most surprising WrestleMania main eventer ever?Why did Vince McMahon ultimately choose John Cena over Batista?Why does WWE have such unbalanced power over their independent contractors compared to how things work in Europe?Is A.J. Styles a former WrestleMania headliners now that he closed out the first night of WrestleMania 36, or does that not count?What is a list of Bret Hart's best matches in WCW?What was the deal with Hunter Hearst Helmsley and "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig in the fall of 1996?THESE ARE ADDITIONAL TOPICS COVERED IN THE EXTENDED VERSION EXCLUSIVELY FOR VIP MEMBERS...Can't stats help determine the type of career someone had?Reacting to a list of Lex Luger's better matches that weren't covered last week.Why was the Hulk Hogan heel turn in WCW such a big deal?Has AEW been designated an "essential business" in Florida or does it just apply to WWE?Which of the WWE releases should AEW hire?How despicable really is WWE after the decisions they've made in the last week or so?Why doesn't Brock Lesnar do more moves than he does and have longer matches than he does since he is capable of so much more?Is it a good idea for WWE split off and have a show that's just cinematic matches, separate from the traditional presentation?Why should anyone be sensitive about the term "fake" when it comes to professional wrestling like Ronda Rousey said?Did AEW pay a retainer fee to keep talent available for when they launched? Would it make sense for other companies to do that now for the recently-released WWE talent?Revisiting 20 years ago when Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo stripped everyone of their titles, with thoughts on each of the champions who were stripped? Also, what does Todd think of that time in WCW history and the idea of relaunching like they did?Is Brock Lesnar really worth the money he is paid given his output and lack of clear impact on business?

Has AEW been designated an "essential business" in Florida or does it just apply to WWE? Which of the WWE releases should AEW hire? How despicable really is WWE after the decisions they've made in the last week or so? Why doesn't Brock Lesnar do more moves than he does and have longer matches than he does since he is capable of so much more? Is it a good idea for WWE split off and have a show that's just cinematic matches, separate from the traditional presentation?

I've Had Better

 Welcome!  My guest today is Dr. John Gottman, one of the world's leading experts on how to have an amazing relationship.  He and his wife Julie currently operate The Gottman Institute in Seattle, offering numerous resources and training.  Join us for a deep dive into their work!  Dr. Gottman’s findings are largely based on the conclusions he has made over many years of research and observations of couples. He and his team have how to be a master (and avoid being a disaster) at relationship.  Dr. Gottman discusses the following topics:   “The Sound Relationship House” - what is the foundation for a relationship that lasts?  Learn the importance of having high expectations in relationship, and also uncover ways in which what you'd *think* would be good for your relationship is actually counterproductive.  Dr. Gottman identifies Styles of Confronting Conflict:  Volatile, Validating, and Conflict-Avoiding. All of these conflict styles can lead to successful relationships. Learn what to do if you and your partner are mismatched in your conflict style.  Dr. Gottman discusses “bids” we make with our partner as an attempt to connect. Are you a "yes" to your partner's bids? Are they a yes to yours?  “Bids” that fail are often the beginnings of conflict. How do things change if you start paying attention and responding to your partner's bids in a positive way?  Mindfulness is the key to noticing these bids and avoiding conflict.  “Small Things Often” - a reminder to turn toward these bids in the small moments of life.  Dr. Gottman's concept of startup is a way of thinking about what you bring to your interactions with your partner. Do you start in a place that's already positive, and thinking highly of your partner? Or do you start in a place where you are suspecting the worst of your partner?  Build up your emotional bank account with small compliments (deposits).  According to John, there are three phases of any relationship:  Falling in Love (initial), Building Trust (middle), and Cherishing Your Partner (long-term intimacy). What phase are you in? The key to success is using strategies that are appropriate for where you are in your relationship.  The key to more sex is having the freedom to say "no" without being punished for it. If refusing sex can actually have a positive payoff, then it will actually lead to a couple having a more satisfying (and frequent) sex life.  Do you ever wonder how to make a good relationship GREAT? Focus on cherishing your partner.  What if YOU are the only partner who wants to make changes?  Can you make a difference?  Absolutely. Learn how shifts in your approach can have a profound affect on your relationship.  The key to success in a relationship isn't that nothing bad ever happens. It's how well you as a couple learn how to repair after those things occur. John discusses how you can learn to repair, and the positive effects that has on long-term relationships.  Do you know how to decide if you’re in a bad relationship?  When you're with your partner, are you at your best? Or are you veering off towards your worst? Gottman offers this simple guideline for how to know whether to stay or go. Also what to think about BEFORE you decide that you're on the wrong path.   Join us for these topics and more.  Dr. Gottman has practical information that can improve your relationship TODAY!   Links and Resources:  What Makes Love Last: How to Build Trust and Avoid Betrayal by Dr. John Gottman  The Gottman Institute, Seattle   www.gottman.com    www.neilsattin.com/gottman    (visit to download a .pdf of this episode guide along with John Gottman's "Dreams in Conflict" exercise to help couples who seem to have irreconcilable differences. You can also text “PASSION” to 33444 for instructions on how to download the guide.

How do things change if you start paying attention and responding to your partner's bids in a positive way?</li> <li> Mindfulness is the key to noticing these bids and avoiding conflict.</li> <li> “Small Things Often” - a reminder to turn toward these bids in the small moments of life.</li> <li> Dr. Gottman's concept of startup is a way of thinking about what you bring to your interactions with your partner. Do you start in a place that's already positive, and thinking highly of your partner? Or do you start in a place where you are suspecting the worst of your partner?</li> <li> Build up your emotional bank account with small compliments (deposits).</li> <li> According to John, there are three phases of any relationship:  Falling in Love (initial), Building Trust (middle), and Cherishing Your Partner (long-term intimacy). What phase are you in? The key to success is using strategies that are appropriate for where you are in your relationship.</li> <li> The key to more sex is having the freedom to say "no" without being punished for it. If refusing sex can actually have a positive payoff, then it will actually lead to a couple having a more satisfying (and frequent) sex life.</li> <li> Do you ever wonder how to make a good relationship GREAT? Focus on cherishing your partner.</li> <li> What if YOU are the only partner who wants to make changes?  Can you make a difference?  Absolutely. Learn how shifts in your approach can have a profound affect on your relationship.</li> <li> The key to success in a relationship isn't that nothing bad ever happens. It's how well you as a couple learn how to repair after those things occur. John discusses how you can learn to repair, and the positive effects that has on long-term relationships.</li> <li> Do you know how to decide if you’re in a bad relationship?  When you're with your partner, are you at your best? Or are you veering off towards your worst? Gottman offers this simple guideline for how to know whether to stay or go.
