The Trade Marks Episode #4 – David Kaleidoscope’s Thermos

The Trade Marks banner

David Bixenspan (or is it David Kaleidoscope?) and Dylan Hales finally return for an all-new episode of The Trade Marks in which we discuss:

  • The launch of NWAClassics.com.
  • Whoo! Wrestling’s triumphant return with the release of the A.J. Styles vs. Jimmy Rave match.
  • Hulk Hogan’s legal entanglements with Gawker, which somehow gets us sidetracked into the Silver Ant saga.

And probably more we forgot about.
