The Hard Way with Brett Michelle

The Hard Way with Brett Michelle

Brett Michelle is a very stoned, undeniably passionate pro wrestling obsessive. Her show "The Hard Way with Brett Michelle" is a lovingly unhinged podcast dedicated to the exploration of wrestling fandom. It"s a show for fans looking for a positive alternative to the typical IWC negativity and aggression. With her sidekick I. Blade Daily (of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out! podcast) in tow, "Hard Way" is part talk show, part comedy cast, and part panel discussion with a revolving cast of guests.Follow

WWE Vengeance 2001

The Hard Way with Brett Michelle ·

2025/12/03

Brett, Chadillac Margarita, and Blade Daily dive deep in to the glorified Monday Night RAW episode masquerading as a PPV that was WWE Vengeance 2001. 20 minute opening promo? Check! Meaningless mid-card matches that lead nowhere? Check! Undertaker needlessly squashing an up and coming talent? Oh yeah. Plus they pull off the delicate trick of crowning the first Undisputed WWE Champion without making them look strong at all! All that and the usual Ric Flair and Vince McMahon slander you've come to
