Welcome back to the greatest indie tournament coverage pod on the Internet, Nattering BOLA. As always, we are sponsored and on the Visionaries Global Media Network, along with every other iteration of Nattering With E.

So, about 20 years ago, I took an educational trip to Italy for five weeks. Nervous as heck because I didn't know anyone. I quickly made pals with our guest today who was also on that trip! Brett MacMillan, a local Toronto musician under the moniker of Buff Justice, joined me to discuss what we've mostly discussed for the last two decades: life, wrestling, and, of course, music! So pull up a chair, like and subscribe to Nattering With E and Visionaries Global Media, and get ready for a great trip down memory lane!

Welcome back to the best Indie Wrestling Tournament Podcast of all time, Nattering BOLA.
After the dastardly Marty Scurll won the 2016 Battle Of Los Angeles, he would face PWG World Champion Zack Sabre Jr. at Mystery Vortex IV. Zack Sabre Jr. would retain in a match that Bauerhausen and I both agreed was a little long for what it needed to be. Today, however, we’re hopping into our DeLorean DMC-12 as your hosts, Doc Bauerhausen and Marty McFreeds, travel to the American Legion Post #308 for the 2017 Battle Of Los Angeles! Our car will be parked all of Labor Day weekend 2017 outside the American Legion, while our shows will be broadcast over the next month back at the Visionaries Global Media’s Nattering With E Studios.

We are finally back with another movie review on the Nattering With E Network! I know, I know. I have said these will come out monthly. Nevertheless, today, it's a full house at the Nattering E Theatre, as I'm joined by Al Day from @GBWPod and the returning MoMo! @MoCJones on social media to recap a movie from our childhoods, The Sandlot! Set in California in 1962, The Sandlot is a coming-of-age film that follows Scotty Smalls as he looks to make friends one summer through the power of baseball. So grab your snacks, make sure you have your tickets, and enjoy this week's Nattering With E At The Movies where you get your podcasts! As always, we are sponsored by Visionaries Global Media.

Welcome back to another episode of Nattering E Trades, your home on Visionaries Global Media for all things trades in sports. After spending the first 10 episodes navigating our way through both how trades work, and the NFL, today will be the final chapter on the NFL. I had a suggestion from a friend about doing a series on the 15 players that went ahead of our Number One best draft day trade Jerry Rice in the 1985 NFL Draft, but that will come at a later date. After today we'll be switching it up to Nattering E At The Movies for next week, and then do a quick show on that 1985 draft, before going into the NBA for more trade magic. Heck we might even discuss the Orlando Magic and some of the trades that have depicted their franchise for better or worse.
Today, however, we enter episode 11 seeking to answer one question, E what is the worst NFL draft pick trade on draft day? Now as you know, this list is entirely subjective, as any one of the three worst trades could have been number one on a sports company's site. They also might not even be on any site's radar. Today our number one pick in the Worst Draft Trades in the history of the NFL is number three on NFL.com's list of the worst draft day trades. If you recall in episode 10, we discussed how former Chicago Bears legend and Head Coach Mike Ditka essentially tarnished his own reputation with the Ricky Williams deal that saw the New Orleans Saints trade all nine of their draft picks to the Washington Commanders formerly Redskins for the fifth overall selection to take Williams. Now, you're probably thinking, wait, Eric, there's a deal worse than this. And it involves the Washington franchise?
Well, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and diehard sports fans I'm afraid it does. So let us get into it.
#1. The worst Draft Day Trade involves draft picks. Washington trades up to get Robert Griffin III in a deal with the St. Louis Rams and the LA Rams.

Eric and Torrey are back after a brief break as we can't seem to stay healthy. Like a really good pair of hockey players who are constantly injured, or in this case under the weather. Nevertheless, we recapped the NHL trade deadline, explained how hockey teams are basically playing poker, and why being a fan is way more stressful than it should be. We also speculate where Mitch Marner is headed, and if the Leafs should trade Morgan Reilley, barring winning the Stanley Cup.
As always we're brought to you by Visionaries Global Media, which houses not only this venture but all of the Nattering With E Network, along with several other great shows. Find us where you get your podcasts and keep on cheering for a Leafs win!

Sometimes in life, good things come to an end. On that note, today marks the 31st anniversary of Wrestlemania 10, where the culmination of the Lex Express came to a crashing end thanks to the Bret Hart Conspiracy train. Anchored by your main pal E of Nattering With E, I'm joined today by the legendary Peapod of Ruthless Pro Wrestling, to recap Lex's final obstacle at Wrestlemania 10. We also broke down both of RPW's joint shows with SVN and realized maybe our beloved Cagematch isn't as accurate as you thought. Lastly, we hypothesize about why two death match legends, Nick Gage and Masada can't be friends.

On this week's episode of Nattering BOLA, Bauerhausen and Eric are back to wrap up the 2016 Battle of Los Angeles. After a lackluster second round, the duo are hoping that part B of night three is incredible! We also wonder if Mark Andrews is still alive after what our man Chris Hero did to him in the first half of Night 3.
