John and Anne's Wrestling Podcast: Recent Episodes
Anne and John
John and Anne are boyfriend and girlfriend. He is a wrestling expert, and she thinks wrestling is fine. Once a week, he's allowed to talk to her about it.
Our long national nightmare has come to and end, and with this episode we say all we have left to say about (John's former favorite) CM Punk.
We also shout out some great matches and stuff towards the end, but really this episode is about purging this from our brains one final time.
We talk some more about just what the heck is going on with AEW's Women's Division, and Anne is only watching Impact now—it was great this week!
We were in a crowd dealing with a lot of CM Punk emotions so we unpack that for awhile, plus Ring of Honor thoughts, GCW highlights, and an update on the MLW lawsuit.
The Joshis are coming to NYC, maybe! Early reports of a new wrestling promotion starring Joshi talent swirled this week, so we talk about how we'll fit it in between Impact, AEW, WWE, oh wow and ROH too gosh there's so much wrestling!
We talk about why belts matter even in staged combat, and why the WWE does their unifications all wrong. And of course we can't stop ourselves from talking about AEW Collision, specifically CM Punk getting booed.
CM Punk returned to pro wrestling this weekend, and the promo he cut on AEW's newest show Collision still has us reeling. We unpack it for almost the whole hour.

This episode has segments, but the first hour is basically us just talking about the wrestling stuff we saw this week: RAW, Impact, and of course AEW and a bunch of podcasts that aren't ours.

John is pretty upset about CM Punk in this episode, but not as upset as he would be later as more was revealed. We also talk about the Rings of Power, which is not wrestling related, and Clash at the Castle, which is!
