One of the rarest tricks to pull in professional wrestling is the double turn - somehow making the good guy into the bad guy and the bad guy into the good guy. That's tough enough, but doing it in a single match? The most successful execution of this that we can think about is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin versus Bret "The Hitman" Hart from Wrestlemania 13... and we're gonna watch it all and drop some commentary as well!
Also, we dive deep into the firing of CM Punk by AEW in this episode's The Week In Geek!
