Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, ” Normally wrestling material doesn’t end up on my pick of the week, but the WWE set this week has really caught my interest due to it having so much material that most people have never seen before. Now, if only we could get the full WCW/NJPW event in North Korea.” Blaine says, “I would go with Supergirl: Season One by a wide margin.”
