The scholars speculate over the new WWE ID program, and chat about independent wrestling.

The Scholars start things off by exploring all the hypothetical positives and negatives for WWE’s latest recruiting program, WWE ID – which gives a pipeline from the Indies to WWE. They try to parse corporate speak to determine what “financial opportunities” and “mentorship” mean, while contemplating what doors could open and close for any wrestler who signs one of these deals. (04:00)
Then, it’s time for the Word of the Day: Independent Wrestling. They try to differentiate the indies from the territories, talk about incidents that birthed the indies like the NJ Athletic Commission deregulation and the creation of Ring Of Honor through RF Video, and go through the ins and outs of how to stand out as an indy promotion in a crowded landscape. (36:00)

Finally, the scholars come back to everyone’s new favorite segment, the Tony Atlas Truth Index, looking at the truthfulness of some comments about WWE ID from indy promoters, wrestling journalists, and QT Marshall. Plus, Bully Ray said what!? (1:01:50)
