In this episode, I recap the last two Monday Night Raws as well as the last Smackdown, including the full WWE Draft. I also discuss the need to change our expectations for weekly programming now that we are in an era of full-blown long-term storytelling.

In this episode of “The Geoff Desiato Show,” I take my family to the “Showcase of the Immortals,” WRESTLEMANIA 40 in Philadelphia! It truly was a once in a lifetime experience.
