The Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match... We Were There. It Was Dark.
The last time Chris and Mat hung out was in 2023 in San Antonio, Texas, for the 2023 Royal Rumble. During the event, Bray Wyatt had his final wrestling match before passing away. He battled LA Knight in a Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match. What is that match? No one really knows for sure, but there were a lot of pretty colors, and a lot of great character-building for Wyatt. Chris and Mat discuss what it was like being at that show, along with rewatching the match and realizing that this was a match for people at home, not so much at the arena.
Also, Messy Ventura stops by to tell a spooky story about when he went to Dublin, Ireland.
