For our inaugural installment of our recurring segment Just Do This For Me!, first-timers Allison Shoemaker and Clint Worthington step into the ring with seasoned WWE veterans — The A.V. Club’s LaToya Ferguson and Film Editor Dominick Suzanne-Mayer — for their very first WrestleMania!
Together, the fearsome foursome discuss all the bone-crushing mayhem, surprise upsets, and camptastic outfits of WWE WrestleMania 34. Suffice to say, we’re all #TeamNicholas over here.
Along with that, the panel gushes about Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s beautiful bottle episode “The Box”, delve more into the mastery of FX’s Atlanta, and finally find out why that Legends of Tomorrow episode is titled “Guest Starring John Noble.”
