Kenny Romero and "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are flying sans Jason "Turtleneck" Hilton on this informative episode that stays light on the hijinks, hard hitting on the headlines, and heavier on the headlocks.

Kenny Romero, Jason "Turtleneck" Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are back for another "fun" filled episode. TKO has priced out the fans.

Talk about something else other than wrestling. Unfortunately, they can't do that as much as he'd like. Maybe next week will be better after the 8am ET, $30 a month Crown Jewel PPV
