Rabblecast 431 - WWE TLC 2015, Star Wars: The Force Awakens

This week's episode could very well be one of the oddest mixes of topics for most shows. We start off with the recent events from WWE's TLC 2015 PPV and the following Monday Night RAW. We watched as a bunch of WWE Superstars went above and beyond the call to perform and entertain us as a viewing audience. Can WWE pull out of the ratings slump that they currently find themselves in?

The topic of discussion then switches to one of the most anticipated movie releases in recent memory, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We will state this up front, there are NO SPOILERS for the movie on this episode. However, there are a few predictions made solely based on rumors. We will find out if J. J. Abrams & company can deliver on one of the most iconic movie franchises of our time.
