In the year 2000.... Triple H, during arguably his best run of matches in his career, came face to face with the rising star Chris Jericho. Both men had animosity in the ring, and backstage.

Also, we discuss what HHH was really after, overbloating and underbloating of rosters,  what is wrong with this man, and a rare star rating swap.

It's been 1 year since our first definitive ruling if a wrestling match was a classic. Since then, our SCIENCE~! has changed, our tastes have been updated and we've become a little more polished at what we do (hopefully).  In that year, there were two matches ran though our original formula that were deemed not classics and were hotly debated.  They are Brock Lesnar vs. CM Punk at Summerlam 2013 and Bayley vs. Sasha Banks at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.  A little less than a year later, we revisit how they pass through the new science. Are either of them classic worthy? Join us as we take a look back. There was also this little thing called Wrestlemania that happened which we talk about.
