TIJ - EP60 - Matthias Jabs from The Scorpions & WWE's Christian & Snooks

Asking Alexandria guitarist Ben Bruce and new singer Denis Stoff aren't holding anything back on this episode of TIJ... from the details surrounding Denis joining the band (and the less than amicable departure of original singer Danny Worsnop) to the specifics of what sometimes takes place in the various venue dressing rooms to Ben's chance (and very brief) encounter with Axl Rose! Denis also reveals exactly how he learned English growing up in the Ukraine, what drives the band's love of 80s rock, and how they ended up with 42 songs for their new album "The Black."

WWE referee Charles Robinson and Y2J break down their recent Monday Night RAW episode that saw Neville injured in the ring & a near fight between the ref & Y2J. Was it a work? A shoot?

Charles has favorite Wrestlemania moments, a sure-fire way to stop an overzealous fan from entering the ring, and a little preview of what fans can expect at Wrestlemania 32 in Dallas.
