This week on BoredWrestlingFan Radio, Joe challenges JT to host the show.  We forget what happens through most of the week in wrestling, but somehow manage to spend some time talking about this past Tuesday’s SmackDown as we come to tonight’s No Mercy Pay Per View.  Joe reveals he doesn’t intend to watch the show, complaining that there is far too much WWE content now with bi-weekly PPV events.  Drowgoddess talks NJPW.

In the news, rumors abound that WWE has purchased TNA’s tape library and that Billy Corgan will be taking over the rest of the company in an attempt to rebrand and relaunch.  We find out the reason the rest of the Spirit Squad wasn’t on SmackDown this week.  WWE fans rejoice, as we no longer have the pressure of being a “Universe” and can just be fans again, apparently.  Jamie Noble and Alberto Del Rio are victims of separate knife attacks.  Ric Flair says Halle Berry rode Space Mountain – a claim Berry’s publicist denies.  Seth Rollins gets mobbed in Chile.  Bret Hart and Michael Hayes talk about each other on the internet, WWE considers adding TNA and ROH live events to the WWE Network, and much, much more.  Tune in!
