The guys also recap AEW Redemption, discussing the standout performances, surprises, and what the event means moving forward. The conversation then shifts to the future of rising prospect Cruz Montana, before JR and Conrad break down Jim Cornette's timeless formula for creating a truly great wrestling heel and why the fundamentals of villainy still work today.
