SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: In this PWTorch Dailycast series titled “Worse or Better,” Josh White and Stephanie Chase discuss one aspect of today’s pro wrestling scene and compare it to a previous era or eras and decide if today is… worse or better. Adam Kidd once again visits the show to discuss the overruns on wrestling broadcasts. Josh and Adam went over the history of the overrun, starting with the Monday Night Wars and considering the benefits and business reasons for the practice. Discussion moved to modern-day WWE with the undefined length of Raw and Smackdown’s consistent end time before discussing AEW’s fascination with running past the top of the hour. The show wrapped up by determining whether the state of overruns in wrestling television is currently worse or better.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: Summerslam is in the rearview mirror, and Nick Barbati takes a hard look at where WWE goes from here. What does the weekend’s fallout mean for the current main event scene—and is Roman Reigns the most overrated WWE main eventer of all time? Nick also examines the impact of the returns of Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and Haku, and what each could bring to WWE moving forward. Plus, Nick takes a closer look at WWE’s approach to dream matches—the pacing of their builds, how quickly they’re implemented, and whether putting those marquee matchups together too soon ultimately hurts the rest of the card.
Join the conversation inside The Nicky’s Club—where wrestling feels like the coolest club in town.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s The Fix Mailbag with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:
- Thoughts on the match order at Summerslam, in particular Liv Morgan vs. Iyo Sky
- Should Danhausen get a WWE Title match at WrestleMania since he’s undefeated?
- Why does Brock Lesnar seem to understand pro wrestlers more than John Cena and Seth Rollins in terms how to give a rub to others?
- Was Nick Aldis treated fairly by Paul Levesque?
- Did WWE do a roster split due to Triple H wanting a brand away from bigger stars so he could be the centerpiece?
- Is Gunther in a good spot and has he been treated fairly?
- Are those Cody Rhodes masks shite?
- Why is Rey Mysterio shining on the mic as AAA GM but WWE didn’t trust him in his prime to cut mid-ring promos?
- Why does a “bait and switch” always have to be seen as a negative?
- Has WWE’s in-ring product gotten worse since Vince McMahon’s ouster?
- Should US Bank Stadium host all future major WWE and AEW stadium shows?
- Todd’s pick for Brock’s final opponents if he was open to two in WWE, 1 in NXT, 1 in AEW, and 1 in New Japan
- How could a collapse of pro wrestling as a genre actually happen?
- What’s more detrimental – Danhausen to WWE or House of Torture to New Japan?
- Can we assess whether Summerslam this year was a financial failure?
- Should Ric Flair’s behavior in recent years cause people to recalibrate thinking he was sabotaged over the years by people in power in the late 1980s and 1990s?
- Is the Randy the Ram character in “The Wrestler” realistic since he’s a blend of Jake Roberts and Terry Funk, but there are incompatible traits in that mix?
- Should we be worried about the decline in indy wrestling?

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by PWTorch’s Joshua White to discuss Raw with live chat and live caller interaction throughout. They begin by discussing Roman Reigns’s clear-cut heel turn tonight but why he’s also of course not actually a heel, and how the goal to be “cinema” and focus on “moments” is undercutting so much of what they could doing right now. Also, what’s up with Jacob Fatu’s actions? Should Becky Lynch explain her change of heart? Should Sol Ruca even be on TV at this point? Is Chad Gable miscast at this point?

- What’s a good place to start if you want to catch on TNA starting with the high points?
- Why is Vince Russo criticize dfor his TNA work? Was creative better under someone else at TNA?
- When “Dark Side of the Ring” talked about big names wrestlers who didn’t deliver for TNA, they cut to Kevin Nash. Is that fair, and what about Scott Steiner, RVD, Booker T, Sting, Ric Flair, Mick Foley, and Jeff Hardy?
- Why didn’t James Storm make it big outside of TNA? Who else seemed like they’d thrive outside of TNA and never did?
- Is there any good argument to turn babyface such as Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes given how difficult it is to establish popular faces with fans these days?
- Exploring the wisdom and execution and results of TNA going head-to-head with Raw in both January and then full-time for a little while a couple months later, including whether TNA quit Mondays just a bit too soon
- Thoughts on the weekly AAA series
- Should Shota Umino have been replaced in the G1 after being ruled out due to concussion? Thoughts on how New Japan handles concussions
- Are slow Summerslam ticket sales in part a regular of WWE management’s amoral, avaricious natures showing their inability to portray wrestlers on TV that regular fans connect with?
- Are slow Summerslam ticket sales the canary in the coal mine?
- Thoughts on TNA airing a commercial recorded a while back talking about an MJF-Kenny Omega match at Retribution
- Shouldn’t Kazuchika Okada have been forced into a role in AEW that could have helped him contribute more to the product in a serious way?
- Thoughts on whether Tony Khan understands how to promote and not just present good matches
- Are Otis & Tozawa going to take Bron Breakker down a notch or more through this feud?
- Does WWE risk embarrassment by drawing poorly with AAA and NXT events up against AEW PPVs?
- Thoughts on JP Morgan’s analysis of WWE creative complaints, Summerslam ticket sales, TKO boxing getting off to a weak star, and UFC overspending at the White House event

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by Dennis Kline and Jerud Buhagiar (JB) to review AEW Dynamite with chat, caller, and email interactions throughout. They start with analysis of the Will Ospreay-Kenny Omega-Jon Moxley tensions and examine whether it’s a derivative overdone trope to sneakily next-level clever compared to most “friendly-fire fallout” storylines (like CM Punk and Cody Rhodes this past weekend). Also, thoughts on Mick Foley’s segment with Thekla and Willow Nightingale and why we’re rooting for Willow and how this was a step in the right direction. Also, lots of talk about AEW Redemption (or is it Retribution? Or Regurgitation?)… and why it’s a sleeper event with some real potential for in-ring excellence and some key storyline developments even with a B-show feel otherwise. Some digs at John Cena and Sting that somehow tied into Dynamite, along with other topics from segments on Dynamite. Plus, Omega brings an early 1980s well know commercial jingle into his opening promo!

- What does Vince McMahon actually do to fill his days these days?
- In the age of guaranteed revenue, wrestler don’t really need to be draws anymore, so who is getting a push who wouldn’t have made the cut in the territory days?
- What was going on with Roman Reigns on Monday that led to fans giving him the “What!?” Chant
- How does WWE wants us to actually feel about so many of their key top mostly babyface acts who are all acting in contradictory ways and undercutting and demeaning each other?
- Thoughts on the legacy and impact of Don Frye in MMA and pro wrestling, plus Don Frye vs. Yoshihiro Takayama reminiscing
- Is TKO corporate ownership contributing to the staleness of WWE storylines, such as creating pressure to keep top names on top of the card?
- Why did Vince McMahon choose to book Buff Bagwell vs. Boker T for Tacoma, Wash. instead of waiting a week until they were in Atlanta, Ga. (Plus some fun Buff Bagwell reminiscent including all his tag team partners and team names, comparing him to some current AEW wrestlers, and where would he land on Todd’s Top 15 AEW Wrestlers list?
- Where do the Road Warriors rank among all time tag teams? Thoughts on their WWE run?
- Conor McGregor conspiracy theory pushed by a Fox Sports person
- Which wrestlers today come across as the most authentic and how important is that?

Ten years ago this week, we published a PWTorch editor Wade Keller’s interview with Paul Heyman from 1992 that aired live on his KFAN Pro Wrestling Focus radio show. In this interview, Heyman predicts super-stardom for Steve Austin and explains why he never paid for a wrestling ticket. This show also includes news coverage at the start of the and live callers.
Then we present the Dec. 2, 2015 episode of the PWTorch Livecast when Pat McNeill interviewed Bob Roop, a territory veteran wrestler who reacted to Raw from earlier in the week, his thoughts on the terms “jobber” and “enhancement talent,” who was the most over-pushed wrestler in WCW, the Authority taking up so much TV time, WWE asking which other TV shows fans watch, Charlotte mentioning the death or Reid on the air, and more.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by Andrew Rich for the November edition of “What’s on the Telly?” In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that month in the past and break it down. This month we go back to 2003 and experience the often jarring WWE product of the time with the go home Raw before that year’s Survivor Series. Authority figures colliding, a heel stable running roughshod, women being abused, and a bunch of short matches – it had all the tropes, but was it actually good? Andrew and Alan let you know. Then with our other pick, it’s time to go into the AEW vault for the first time in a series and a very impactful episode of Rampage from 2021 thanks to one particularly hostile segment which is amazing to watch four years later. So get in from the cold, grab a cozy blanket on the couch, and check out what’s on the telly with us this month!

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s The Fix Mailbag with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:
- Is it worrisome that business analysis of WWE has become nearly impossible given the streaming deals, overseas deals, and fewer direct connections to measurements that include actual fan satisfaction with the product.
- Does it seem pro wrestling fundamentally doesn’t work with fixed rosters over time? Aren’t boom periods usually a result of an influx of new wrestlers, including at the top of cards?
- Is there a market for a major UK promotion? Did the hosts on Dragons Den miss out on an investment opportunity?
- Wasn’t there a stretch a few years ago when Sami Zayn seemed washed up in the ring or at least dialing it down? Now he seems back at a top level, right?
- Choose sides in these rivals’ spats with each other:
- Vince Russo – Eric Bischoff
- Bret Hart – Bill Goldberg
- Ric Flair – Mick Foley
- Vince McMahon – Nailz
- Tito Ortiz – Dana White
- Should the Paul Heyman group add a third wrestler now that Seth Rollins is out?
- Thoughts on the next wave of “freak show” boxing matches: Tank Davis vs. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather? Also is Clarissa Shields vs Laila Ali a fight that can come to fruition?
- Thoughts on UFC champions leaving their weight division behind.

SHOW SUMMARY: In this edition of the Wade Keller Hotline, PWTorch editor Wade Keller reviews the Oct. 29 episode of AEW Dynamite start to finish including a weird closing segment with a swerve for the sake of a swerve with “Hangman” Adam Page dressing up as Tony Schiavone to perhaps maybe have a slightly easier time taking a cheap shot at Samoa Joe with a level of planning that would all be done with the assumption Joe was going to win.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by Jesse Collings for the October edition of “What’s on the Telly?” In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that month in the past and break it down. This month we got our satellite out to tune into Gaora and watch a Dragon Gate Infinity from arguably the company’s best year – 2011. It’s Masaaki Mochizuki vs. Akira Tozawa for the Dream Gate, and Shingo Takagi vs. Brodie Lee as we’re in the thick of the Blood Warriors vs. Junction 3 feud. From there, the clock is turned back a further six years to 2005 and we stretch the rules of the show a tiny bit to talk about CZW from the “CZW” Arena and also from a weird junkyard as we are truly treated to the good, the bad, and the ugly of mid-2000s indy wrestling. Young Steen and Generico, Eddie Kingston promos, death matches, and lots of terrible gear. So open the gate, enter the combat zone, and check out what’s on the telly with us this month!

SHOW SUMMARY: Join Kurt Cadet, aka Conscious Kurt, and the Gentleman Chris Adams as they discuss the highs and lows of recent creative trajectories in Raw, along with discussing broader story beats since Summerslam. The virtue of honesty becomes the focus of the podcast, as the discussion turns to the year 1997. Shawn Michaels has “lost his smile,” which many believed to be deception. Discussing the lead-up to and fallout from this promo then turns to the film “Liar, Liar” with Jim Carrey. Released shortly after the promo, the two pieces of art frame a discussion about the need for honesty in one’s own life.

SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s The Fix Mailbag with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:
- Is Seth Rollins overstating his history as a “WrestleMania main eventer” when trying to get under C.M. Punk’s skin?
- Thoughts on the prospects of WWE Network library ultimately largely disappearing after the Peacock deal expires and the WWE Channel isn’t replicated on Netflix?
- Is Todd wrong that long title reigns benefit the person who eventually wins the title, considering the history of WWF/WWE title changes over the decades?
- Thoughts of James Gunn’s comments about Superman dressing like a pro wrestler?
- Doesn’t it seem likely that had C.M. Punk not gotten injured, Punk & Cody Rhodes would have been a team against Roman Reigns & The Rock in the WrestleMania night one tag match last year?
- Has Andrade deserved a bigger push and what has stood in the way?
- Who executed holiday special events more effectively among Georgia Championship Wrestling, the AWA, World Class, and Jim Crockett Promotions?
- What are expectations for UFC media rights?
- Should wrestlers cut back on the trope of sitting aghast after a wrestler kicks out at two rather than pursuing an aggressive attack?
- Doesn’t Jon Moxley deserve more criticism?
- Could Tony Khan bury Rey Fenix the last year of his contract by having lose clean to everybody and lose a mask vs. mask match?
- Is AEW presenting too many lengthy “workrate” based singles matches in a row of similar length on PPV? Would it be better to shake up match formats and lengths?
- Has Will Ospreay really lost too much in the last year given he has lost seven matches so far in AEW, mostly to top stars?
- Isn’t Seth Rollins’ argument against C.M. Punk full of falsehoods and hypocrisies?
- Are Seth, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens actually at odds in real life at this point?
- Where is the return of the Winged Angel belt heading?
- Is Carlito an eye sore for The Judgment Day?
- Have Jon Moxley, Claudio, Pac, and Bryan Danielson removed their past identities as Dean Amborse, Cesaro, Neville, and Daniel Bryan? Which names would WWE use if they returned?
- Could Paul Levesque revisit the A.J. Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura rivalry from WrestleKIngdom and get a main event match out of them?
- Should AEW be worried about being cool when being authentic has more value, and their wrestlers are usually their authentic selves?
- Could AEW Collision succeed on Monday nights on cable now that there is no pro wrestling on cable for the first time in decades?
- Todd and Wade draft with $50 million each to spend
- Who will John Cena beat and lose to in 2025?
- Did Triple H deserve a better in-ring sendoff before retirement?
- Does AEW have a problem with wrestlers not being portrayed in a way that make sense?

SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s Interview Classic episode from ten years ago (9-20-2019), PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents a special Interview Friday with three distinct segments with Triple H, Nick “Eugene” Dinsmore, and Beth Phoenix.
-The first segment features Triple H’s media conference call after NXT’s debut on USA Network. He talked about the thought process that went into what to feature on the USA Network debut, Vince McMahon’s involvement and reaction, whether the Full Sail venue is sufficient in the long-run for a national cable show setting, how the show was structured differently because of the split between USA and WWE Network, whether NXT is still developmental, utilizing cruiserweight on the show, and more.
-Then comes an interview Wade Keller and Bruce Mitchell conducted on July 26, 2019 which has never been heard before with Nick “Eugene” Dinsmore which was recorded in front of a live audience at the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame Weekend events in Waterloo, Iowa. at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center. In this interview, he discusses a wide range of fascinating topics including being the initial trainer of some of the top stars of the last 20 years including great stories on early John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Batista, and The Rock. Did Cena come across as a future star right away? Was Lesnar a nice guy and hard worker early? What did he think when he would look at The Rock? What separates the top class of success stories from those who didn’t end up making it from that same class in OVW? He also talks about ribs he played on Matt Striker, what lessons did he learn that he conveys to his students, the controversial aspects of the Eugene character and how it originated and was received, and more.
-Then comes a panel discussion from July 27, 2019 which was recorded in front of a live audience at the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame Weekend events in Waterloo, Iowa. at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center which featured Gerald Brisco, Beth Phoenix, Bob Roop, Baron Von Racshke, and Thunderbolt Patterson. This snippet features Gerald Brisco talking at first about teaming with his brother and feuding with The Funks and Jay Youngblood & Rick Steamboat, then Beth Phoenix speaking about the transition from the Divas ear and her thought on women main eventing WrestleMania, who she thinks are top emerging stars today (outside of WWE), and her desire to see a culture in pro wrestling where kids can see a little bit of themselves in the product no matter their race, background, orientation, or otherwise. In the end, Baron Von Raschke sneaks in a joke about playing his imaginary sister Big Bertha on the air.

- Should WWE be doing more with Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa?

- If the Brawl Out and Brawl In incidents didn’t take place, would AEW be getting a better TV deal?
- Is WWE touting and celebrating Bayley enough?
- Why can’t Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns co-exist as top babyfaces on the same WWE show
- Would Cena or Roman have had better babyface runs in today’s WWE since fans are happier with WWE now than when they were pushed as top faces?
- Is it fair to say Tony Khan isn’t telling stories as well as WWE, especially for those who view WWE stories as cartoonishly simplistic?
- Does it limit AEW’s growth if its fans don’t care if AEW expands its audience?
- How does the history of the Nigel McGuiness-Bryan Danielson feud being incorporated into the current Grand Slam match compare to how, say, fans were caught up on the Shawn Michaels-Bret Hart or Rock-Steve Austin histories?
- Why haven’t Junior Heavyweights ever really caught on in pro wrestling in the United States given that MMA has?
- Isn’t it time for Sammy Guevera, at age 31, to establish that he can be a star rather than saying he has lots of time to improve?
- Does it seem, based on Darby Allin’s booking since earning his AEW World Title shot, that they planned all along to have him pass it along to Jon Moxley?
- Thoughts on why Keith Lee, Malakai Black, Swerve Strickland, and Andrade underachieved in AEW

- Are longer well-wrestled matches with predictable outcomes in AEW better or worse than WWE’s competitive matches with non-conclusive finishes?

SHOW SUMMARY: In the Mailbag portion of this week’s episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they discuss these topics:
- Is AEW today basically in a similar place in several key ways as ROH six years ago before AEW was formed with the exception of the budget of the owner elevating its profile?
- Given the current state of AEW Collision, is AEW Rampage becoming a more relevant show, especially given the Arlington residence?
- Is AEW today more like 2000s TNA than 1990s WCW?
- Has AEW had a truly top level storyline that will be remembered years from now? And does it matter if AEW would rather be known for top matches?
- Could a storyline in pro wrestling include faking the death of a wrestler with the cooperation of their family?
- Why is there any variation in AEW’s All In attendance at Wembley last year coming from AEW? Surely they know how many tickets they sold and how many attended.
- Thoughts on Nigel McGuinness on commentary on Collision
- Should Jeff Jarrett have a farewell tour like Sting and John Cena are having?
- Five Jeff Jarrett matches worth seeking out to see his best work
- Can Karrion Kross have a hair vs. hair match where he has to go back to NXT.
- Why has UFC become so far right-wing compared to pro wrestling?
- Thoughts on the careers of UFC’s Deiveson Figueiredo, Cory Sandhagen, and Tony Ferguson?
- Will The Rascalz and Joe Hendry sign with WWE by 2025 and how far can they go in the WWE system?
- Why was Dustin Rhodes criticized in certain newsletters early in his career if he’s so respected now?
- Thoughts on Wade’s criticism of The Acclaimed’s promo on Collision when it seemed Bryan Danielson did the same thing on Dynamite without criticism and is the attitude of wrestlers giving it their all every night a bad thing?
- Will there ever be a payoff to Nigel’s constant digs at Bryan Danielson on his commentary now that it’s not happening at All In?
- Would it be wise to make Collision more like WCW Saturday Night and give it an identity of itw down that doesn’t take away from Dynamite as the primary must-see show?
- What would be the best way to feature Charlotte when she returns?
- How would Verne Gagne fare in 2024 if he was dropped into today’s scene?
- Is it worth continuing to invest so much in C.M. Punk if he gets injured again?

SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s Interview Classic episode from ten years ago (7-27-2019), Wade Keller and guest cohost Bruce Mitchell interviewed with Sgt. Slaughter. Sarge has not done many interviews before, and none of this length and scope and depth. It took place in front of a live audience on July 26, 2019 at the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame event at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center. In this interview, Slaughter walks through his career from the start, going territory to territory, and character to character, detailing the highlights of his time in each territory and some of the big names he crossed paths with, butted heads with, wrestled again, or shared road trips with including Vince McMahon Sr., Vince McMahon Jr., Pat Patterson, Bob Backlund, Verne Gagne, Wally Karbo, Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Iron Sheik, and so many others. It’s one of those infrequent “must listen” interviews that the audience and hosts knew as it was happening was something special.

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L brings you the twenty-eighth edition of “30 4L 30,” our take on ESPN’s 30 for 30 series. Into year number three of the series and we are continuing to celebrate what is now well over 30 years of professional wrestling fandom. Alan will welcome more guests to reminisce about the amazing careers of 30 wrestlers who have been such big parts of that journey. We’re down to our last three episodes and plan to finish strong! Well, very few wrestlers in history signify that word like one Kensuke Sasaki – a man who was indeed all about being STRONG. Whether he was launching an opponent across the ring with an Ippon-Seoi-Nage, scooping people up for powerslams, or lariating them into dust, Kensuke was going to be a tough hill for anyone to climb. On this podcast, we attempt to climb the hill that is looking back through his whole career and all his different iterations and characters from young fireplug, to Power Warrior, to Florida Brother to everyone’s favorite smiley Dad of puro! Who better to help in that climb than a man who not only followed Sasaki’s career since he showed up in WCW in the early ’90s, but who has also shared the ring with him on many occasions – the Wrestling Genius, and the subject of our previous 30 4L 30, Chris Hero! Yes indeed, Chris and Alan spoke about Kensuke for over two and a half hours and left no stones unturned. His greatest matches, unheralded gems, aspects of his style that made him unique, and much more including several sidebars on wrestling philosophy inspired by the discussion. It’s all there for your listening pleasure. Whether you’re an expert in all things Kensuke Office, a Hell Raisers die-hard, or a newer fan looking to learn about a great wrestler of the past – this podcast is for everyone. Thank you so much to Chris for his time and enthusiasm!

SHOW SUMMARY: Long-time PWTorch.com contributor Jon Mezzera returns to Pro Wrestling Then and Now to look back at the WWF King of the Ring PPV from 1994. They discuss the entire card, which features Bret Hart defending the WWF Championship against Intercontinental Champion Diesel, Owen Hart winning the King of the Ring tournament defeating Razor Ramon in the final (with the help of his returning brother-in-law Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart and proclaiming himself the “King of Harts”), and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper vs. Jerry “The King” Lawler in the main event. Talking points include but are not limited to:
- Was Owen wearing the crown and robe and proclaiming himself “King of Harts” too comedic and did it hurt Owen in the long run?
- Was the tournament too predictable?
- Why was Art Donovan’s commentary so awful?
- Were there too many “lame” finishes?
- If they did some of the matches on TV would they have gotten more time?
- How do we grade Neidhart’s involvement in the Bret vs. Diesel match to set up what he did in the Razor vs. Owen final?
- Why did Vince go with then 40-year-old Roddy Piper vs. then 45-year-old Jerry Lawler in the main event on a show where they pushed the New Generation?

In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that month in the past and break it down. This month there’s a twist, because while Alan sends us 23 years into the past and the hot summer that was peak Kreski-ism, Justin decides to do the unthinkable and turns back the clock the sum total of 48 hours, forcing us to watch an episode of modern WWE TV – something Alan hasn’t done in at least 6 years. How does 2000 WWF compare to 2023 WWE? How does the pace of a one-hour Heat compare to a two-hour Friday night Smackdown? What happened to young Stephanie & Hunter’s relaxing Sunday afternoon? We answer these questions and many more in what turned out to be quite the learning and growth experience for us. Plus, Taka & Funaki pay tribute to their N64 persona, The Cross Rhodes of Val & Bull, Alan learns about Chef Boyardee, Death by Triple Threat, and plenty of other topics brought to you by a tremendously synergistic corporate tie-in from the desk of Nick Khan. Are we done? We might be done. WHAT’S ON THE TELLY!?

SHOW SUMMARY: PWTorch editor Wade Keller hosts a special Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast with guest Jon Moxley (f/k/a Dean Ambrose). This was Mox’s second long-form interview and the first he recorded since his AEW surprise debut last Saturday night at “AEW Double or Nothing” in Las Vegas. This was, by design, a follow-up to his first interview earlier that week with Chris Jericho on his podcast which has been the talk of the pro wrestling industry for several days, so we didn’t cover the same territory but instead covering topics he didn’t get to with Jericho. This interview, conducted on May 29, lasts nearly two-and-a-half hours. This is the second half of that interview.
LIST OF TOPICS COVERED…
- The story behind the videos he has produced on Twitter and the excitement he feels being an artist in control again and collaborating with colleagues…
- On people’s skepticism that “by the boys, for the boys” will never work in AEW because there’s too many cooks in the kitchen…
- Producers he really respected and liked in WWE…
- On his growing relationship with Cody behind the scenes on creative matters and how it contrasts to his WWE experience…
- His amazement that top writers on WWE don’t go insane working in that system…
- Details on his frustration with how The Shield return was handled Summerslam weekend last year and details on how it originally was supposed to play out and who derailed it at last second…
- Tons of details told for the first time ever, on his WrestleMania frustrations the year he wrestled Brock Lesnar…
- The awkward Stone Cold Podcast on WWE Network, finally explained in (agonizing) detail…
- Did he hesitate to sign another “corporate contract” with AEW so soon after being free from his WWE contact?…
- What the greatest moment of his career was so far…
- What did he think watching back at his entrance at Double or Nothing…
- His reluctance to dive head first into social media like most wrestlers…
- PPV payoff structure under the WWE Network and strong thoughts about WWE’s way of scheduling house shows in this era…
- Why he thinks WWE will soon have to start paying wrestlers more money, and it’s not (just) because of AEW as competition…
- And more.

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by Erin Quinn (in her contractual annual appearance) for a new edition of “What’s on the Telly?” In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that month in the past and break it down. This time around, we had a third episode in the holster in case we went to a deciding fall. Yes indeed, 2/3 Falls was the main event order of the day for both the guest host era of 1992 WCW Saturday Night (K. Allen Frye’s brainchild) and Portland Wrestling in 1983. Alan and Erin compare and contrast our two main events – Great Muta vs. Brad Armstrong and Curt Hennig vs. Buddy Rose – in great detail. Which match was better? Which of the four wrestlers didn’t pull their weight? Find out by listening, and you’ll also get a rundown of WCW’s guest host format (a scourge of 1999 was actually a charmer back in 1992), hype for the NWA tag title tournament, bench press contest FOMO, and some great deals from Tom Peterson! Check it out – all this this month on the telly!

SHOW SUMMARY: Will Cooling returns with a new series of The Deeper Dive. His first personal essay is about his thoughts about the mess AEW has made of its title picture. Will makes the bold argument that AEW should return to just having world titles in its men’s singles, men’s tag, and women’s divisions. His argument is based not just on how the sheer number of titles is warping the booking and stretching the roster too thin, but also by looking at the history of secondary titles.

- Which entrance stage videos for wrestlers stand out as the best and worst over the years?
- Why do we like pro wrestlers to extend the bit outside of the confines of the wrestling shows like Tony Khan wearing a neck brace during the NFL draft?
- Is Tony Khan emailing positive questions about AEW to The Fix under a false name???
- Is praise for spotfest matches lacking selling and psychology making things worse and will things return to a more balanced presentation in the ring that seems to actually work better, with WWE’s popularity being evidence of it?
- Is the current leaked info about The Rock being an egomaniac consistent with how he was years ago during his stints with WWE?
- Is it worth considering that WWE moved Raw to Netflix to avoid scrutiny for its ratings each week?
- Is it known if Stephanie McMahon and Paul Levesque signed a prenuptial agreement about Levesque taking over WWE someday?
- Memories of the Torch Trading Block feature in the early 1990s newsletters.
- Had Hulk Hogan stayed in the AWA, would the AWA have thwarted Vince McMahon’s national expansion and eventual dominance?
- Did AEW commentary bury Swerve Strickland by saying Samoa Joe would beat him more times than not if they had rematches?
- What was the origin and significance of newsstand pro wrestling magazines in the pre-Internet era?
- Did it make AEW and Tony Khan look bad that he ripped WWE on NFL Network and days later Patrick Mahomes showed up on Raw?
- Shouldn’t matches be evaluated differently than just being a barrage of highspots, such as whether it had a purpose and accomplished it and advanced a story or a wrestler’s journey?
- Which five wrestlers would benefit from a jump from WWE to AEW and which five AEW to WWE?
- What caused Vince McMahon to fumble the TBS timeslot he got in 1984 after Black Saturday?
- Can Trick Williams handle the added load after the departures from the NXT roster to Raw and Smackdown?
- How does the latest development in the Janel Grant lawsuit affect Vince McMahon’s defense, especially with the seeming new approach John Laurinitis is taking?

SHOW SUMMARY: Long-time PWTorch VIP subscriber David Wolf joins Frank Peteani to discuss WCW Spring Stampede 1994, a show in which WCW was on the brink of a major change with the potential signing of Hulk Hogan. The entire card was reviewed, which included “Stunning” Steve Austin vs. The Great Muta for the U.S. Championship, Sting vs. “Ravishing” Rick Rude for the WCW international Championship (a confusing title to explain), and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat challenging heel-ish Ric Flair for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. They talk about the frustration of bad finishes in the title matches even though the show was overall enjoyable, and a comparison of Wade Keller’s star ratings as opposed to Dave Meltzer’s in the Observer. Many sidebar topics are discussed throughout the podcast including comparisons to this week’s AEW Dynasty PPV and AEW in general, what-ifs like would Steve Austin had been a big star in WCW had Hulk Hogan not arrived, comparisons of Steamboat vs. Flair on this show to their Chi-Town Rumble match from 1989, expectations for wrestling TV/PPVs in 1994 vs. today, and much more.

SHOW SUMMARY: In part three of this week’s three part episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:
- Was Cody Rhodes’s chase of the World Title the best in pro wrestling history? How does it compare to Sting chasing Ric Flair and Mick Foley chasing The Rock?
- Will Cody be a good champion or will there be a letdown like with Sting?
- Wasn’t the main issue Punk had with Jack Perry that he expected more deference and respect? What if Randy Savage or Bret Hart from 1997 dropped into today’s AEW and ran into the youth of today?
- Could Jon Moxley being IWGP Champion mean this year’s Forbidden Door will feature a title match with a possible major title change?
- When will AEW become like TNA where it’s not compared to WWE constantly and judged on its own strengths and merits?
- What is the actual biggest WrestleMania tag team match of all-time?
- In the WWE Draft, can wrestlers who chose one brand over the other in free agency be exempted from being forced to switch brands?
- What’s up with C.M. Punk not getting medical reimbursement for his tricep injury in AEW?
- Did Ronda Rousey saying she wished she got more rehearsal time for her matches a sign that she didn’t understand that the ultimate goal is to be able to work a match without much planning and rehearsal?
- Why is Endeavor going private again and will it affect TKO as a still-publicly-traded company?
- Todd asked to apologize for saying Angelo Parker and Ruby Soho have no on-air chemistry when it turns out they’re a real couple?
- Is the Arizona Coyotes moving to Salt Lake City comparable at all to the WCW-WWF situation?
- Have we seen the best out of AEW now that the dust has settled after the big signing earlier this year and they’re back to just doing good matches and weak stories?
- Ranking St. Louis among big wrestling cities.
- Should Max Holloway keep defending the BMF Title?
- Sherri Martel’s career
- Did New Japan give Jon Moxley the IWGP Title because he’s willing to be a transitional champion to a younger contender like Shota Umino or Yuta Tsuji?
- Why did WWE edit Mike Rotunda saying “WWF” at the Hall of Fame ceremony?

SHOW SUMMARY: In part two of this week’s three part episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:
- Were people too negative about AEW last week and are comparisons to WCW in its dying days valid?
- Briefly revisiting the entrance theme battle last week
- Should the conduct of C.M. Punk disqualify him from working younger wrestlers in NXT in the future?
- Does WWE and AEW realized their entrance theme are lacking lately or do they think they have a good array? Who could use a boost in entrance music the most these days?
- Was WrestleMania 40 and the aftermath just over-the-top Saccharine and at risk of hurting Cody with fans?
- Expert tips on buying tickets to pro wrestling in Japan
- How has the meaning of C.M. Punk changed over the last 10-plus years in terms of being about Punk specifically and then a protest chant and now whatever is it.
- Is Bray Wyatt’s WWE gimmick getting overpraised after death? If Bo Dallas returns to continue Bray Wyatt’s vision, can we hope it’s not supernatural?
- Did WWE drop the word “Universal” from Cody’s title and, if so, why?
- Is Vince McMahon selling his assets to move to Saudi Arabia to escape potential criminal legal jeopardy?
- Should AEW move Forbidden Door to the Tokyo Dome to give Japanese fans a chance to see former top New Japan stars who are now on the AEW roster? Will the format work going forward otherwise since New Japan’s roster is so depleted?

SHOW SUMMARY: In this episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they respond to listener emails on these topics.* Is it most likely C.M. Punk wrestles at WrestleMania next year, New Japan's G1 next summer, or doesn't wrestle at all? * Is it better that AEW is without Punk after an additional year of drama rather than Tony Khan cutting ties with him last year after the All Out incident? * Thoughts on reports of AEW confiscating Punk t-shirts at All Out? * While Punk's behavior and demeanor is worthy of criticism, isn't he largely right about AEW's flaws on and off camera? * Issues with AEW merchandise * Has AEW been stagnant since it launched as WWE has innovated and evolved? * What wrestling books would you like to see written? * Is Jey Uso a good candidate to beat Gunther for the Intercontinental Title? * How would Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart have fared under social media scrutiny in the 1990s? * Is the Elite celebrating and gloating this week shifting opinions regarding Punk's frustrations with them? * Thoughts on some big names that The Rock never wrestled in WWE such as Batista, Edge, and Shawn Michaels and how those matches or feuds would have been booked? * Thoughts on Japanese women's wrestling outside of New Japan and Stardom? * Thoughts on Tommy Dreamer as a wrestler and backstage worker as he puts his career on the line at Victory Road this weekend * Tai Tuivasa's prospects as a breakout star in UFC * What does it mean that Punk was fired by AEW "with cause"? * Todd re-books key programs in the WWF in 1995 with no Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania and no King of the Ring win for Mabel. * Summary of what is going on with the UFC antitrust lawsuit and how it can change the MMA landscape in 2024 and beyond. * Was 1993 the real peak of WCW, not 1997, given Cactus Jack, Vader, Ric Flair, Steve Austin, and others being featured? * What's up with the Young Bucks match style? * Does Tony Khan deserve the flack he gets for how he books his women wrestlers considering the quality of his women's division? * What is possibly going on with the way MJF is selling his neck and shoulder injury? * Should TK book so his big storylines hit a crescendo at All In / All Out in the future? * Has TK lost a lot of his goodwill with fans and what can rebuild it? * What is the smallest thing Todd could throw at Wade's head and still be fired? And what's the largest thing Todd could throw at Wade's head and not be fired? * What odds would you take to bet $100 on Punk returning to AEW within the next two years?

Fox development, BCC's partners being revealed, and more.

SHOW SUMMARY:PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents a VIP exclusive “Keller Conversation” with Sean "X-Pac" Waltman to talk about the late Terry Funk, who died earlier in the day at age 79. Funk was a top act in Japan and the United States and was part of so many different key eras in so many key places including high profile 1980s matches against Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair on national TV. He also was hugely influential in the early years of ECW, helping put ECW on the map and give major elevations by sharing space with the upstart territory with Tommy Dreamer, Mick Foley, Sabu, and so many others. Sean speaks about his interactions with Funk over the years, what his "wrestler's eye" saw that made Funk so special, and some top memories of his matches over the years in person and on VHS and TV. Sean was part of a tag match teaming with Lance Storm against Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk in November 2013 when Terry was 69 years old.

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by author Liam Byrne for "What's on the Telly?" In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that week in the past and break it down. This month, we travel back to 1986 and 1990 for two very noteworthy shows. Since 1971 the WWF had been bringing their flagship show "Championship Wrestling" to the airwaves across America with its syndication network, but after 15 years that came to an end on August 30th, 1986. In looking at the final episode before the debut of its replacement, Superstars of Wrestling, we're treated to a trip to Adrian Adonis' Flower Shop, the coronation of King Harley Races, debuts, squashes, and more! Following that, the series takes us to Japan for the first time and a very different style of wrestling TV show. Summer of 1990 was a huge transition period for Giant Baba's All Japan Pro Wrestling, and on the August 26th airing of their weekly NTV show, we see The Super Generation Army squaring off against Tsuruta-gun in a red hot Korakuen Hall, essentially as the "go-home" to the big Misawa vs. Jumbo rematch. In addition to this cracking main event, we get a look at The Fantastics, a big night for young Kenta Kobashi, and Baba takes his stars to the beach! Liam and Alan had a blast with these shows and we think you will too, so pick up your remote and see What's on the Telly!

SHOW SUMMARY:Will Cooling looks at the unusual role British and Irish fans play in international wrestling fandom, existing in a netherworld where they're both a globally recognized hotbed for pro wrestling and a territory unable to sustain their own major league promotion. He talks about the frustrations and inconveniences that are a normal part of following WWE or AEW on this side of the Atlantic, and how they are feeding into the online backlash towards AEW's handling of the Wembley card. He also outlines the commercial reasons why AEW may feel it has no choice but to prioritize All In compared to the following week's All Out card, and why he feels that is missing the big picture. He argues that whilst this year's All In is not actually the biggest wrestling show of all time, AEW should surely be acting like it is.

They discuss their feelings overall on WWF 1993 and their viewing habits of wrestling back then versus now, and then review the card in its entirety. They discuss the strange booking decisions throughout the show, especially the aforementioned count out win by Luger over Yokozuna. Why did they build up Luger so much with a Lex Express bus and a song and have such a special entrance if he wasn’t going to win the WWF Championship? Frank reveals he’s been waiting 30 years to complain about this match.

SHOW SUMMARY: In this five years ago flashback (7-11-2018), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by PWTorch columnist Greg Parks to discuss WWE Smackdown which included final hype for Extreme Rules. They begin with some comments about how “lite” and “amusing” the tone of the show was without a sense of gravity that what was happening on Sunday had important ramifications. The first half of the show features live callers commenting on Smackdown and then the next segment features the Mailbag. Greg also comments on his three most recent columns and updates whether anything has changed regarding his viewpoints on New Japan in the U.S., Summerslam WWE Title and Universal Title scenarios, and whether GLOW season one seemed built around there being a second season or it was self-contained and thus season two felt like it was a whole new idea. Plus Greg gives his predictions on every Extreme Rules match.

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L brings you the nineteenth edition of "30 4L 30," our take on ESPN's 30 for 30 series. In 2023 we will continue celebrating what is now over 30 years of professional wrestling fandom, and Alan will welcome more guests to reminisce about the amazing careers of 30 wrestlers who have been such big parts of that journey. This time around, the subject is one of the most unique wrestlers of all time - "The Master of Suplex" Gary Albright. The University of Nebraska's amateur wrestling standout found his calling in the mid-'90s for UWF International as the imposing gaijin force that battled the likes of Nobuhiko Takada, Kiyoshi Tamura, and Kazuo Yamazaki. Albright's one of a kind skill-set was perfect for the shoot style environment, and he achieved a level of stardom and popularity in Japan which sees his name still carry weight to this day. Alan is joined by Rob Naylor for an excitable chat about what made Gary so special, his best UWFi matches, his run in All Japan, and much more. In addition to chatting with Rob (who was great as always), we have some thoughts from Albright's close friend Court Bauer about where Gary's career would have taken him were it not for his tragic death in January 2000. Go watch Gary Albright suplex some people, and then give this a listen!
NOTE: Listener discretion is advised as we revisit some of Gary's more infamous promos, and the language gets a little salty!

SHOW SUMMARY:In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L flies solo with a packed 90 minutes, putting a bow on the first half of 2023 in pro wrestling and looking at some big events in Japan already in July. The ProWres Paradise Power Rankings get broken out as Alan unveils his top 10 wrestlers for the first half of the year, plus some honorable mentions. Amongst that top ten is a man who has now stepped away from wrestling as of June 30, and he went out with a bang. Alan breaks down Yuji Okabayashi's final matches (possibly ever) and talks his place in modern wrestling history. On top of that, July has already seen a new Triple Crown champion crowned on an eventful All Japan show at Korakuen Hall, and Dragongate's biggest show of the year headlined by an emotional and dramatic cage match. The high and lows of both shows are looked at, and more, this week on ProWres Paradise. Check it out!

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by GRAPPL's Benno for the June edition of "What's on the Telly?" In this monthly series, Alan and a guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that week in the past and break it down. Summer of 1996 was an exciting time in the U.S. - the Atlanta Olympics were on the horizon and for fans of wrestling, the business was about to get turned on its ear with the emergence of the nWo. The June 17th Nitro felt like a show on the precipice of that change. Fans were hot and ready, the wrestlers were motivated, and we had a pre-nWo Outsiders looming over things like an ominous cloud in the best way possible. The guys looked in detail at this episode featuring some big matches, some forgotten names, and some very interesting developments all on the heels of the Great American Bash the night before. Now of course Alan and Benno wouldn't be able to do a show together without ROH coming up, but in this instance, it's a time in ROH history that is not really their wheelhouse. The ROH on HDNet era was, in many ways, a death blow to the product that ROH hardcores had come to love in the peak years of 2004 to 2007. But it's legacy is interesting 14 years later, and using the June 27th, 2009 episode as a guide, Alan and Benno look back at what was and what could have been. A really fun show this week with a tremendous guest, so pick up your remote and see What's on the Telly!

Punk or The Elite, if Tony Khan has to choose between them? * If Magnum T.A. wasn't paralyzed early in his career, would the landscape of pro wrestling have looked different and taken a difference course? * What's the best course for Nick Wayne?

Is that in general true of heel-to-face turns including whatever happens next with L.A. Knight? * How is the eventual babyface turn of Roman Reigns going to go?

Hi Todd and Wade
Thanks for all you do - always enjoy The Fix, an excellent aid in procrastination.
I asked Chat GPT to pair up classic managers of old with the best combination it could find from today's talent, and book a feud for each. I've included the details in case you're interested, but I'm most interested in what you think of each pairing. Thanks!
"Match up the classic wrestling managers of the 1980s and 1990s with the best possible combination of wrestlers from today. Include Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart, Jim Cornette, Mr Perfect, Fred Blassie, Mr Fuji, Paul E. Dangerously and Sensational Sherri. Describe whether each pairing would be a feel or babyface combination. Talk about how they would combine with the wrestler chosen, their relationship and TV performance. Book an opponent for each wrestler, an angle to promote each match, the results and the immediate aftermath of each." Bobby Heenan: Wrestler: Roman Reigns Alignment: Heel Combination: Bobby Heenan's manipulative and conniving nature would align perfectly with Roman Reigns' dominant and authoritative character. Relationship and TV Performance: Heenan would act as Reigns' calculating advisor, amplifying his status as "The Tribal Chief" and ensuring Reigns remains at the top of the WWE. Opponent: John Cena Angle: Heenan proclaims Roman Reigns as the true face of WWE and challenges John Cena to a match to prove Reigns' dominance. Result: With limited interference from Heenan, Roman Reigns defeats John Cena and establishes his supremacy. Immediate Aftermath: Bobby Heenan gloats about Roman Reigns' victory, asserting their dominance over the WWE roster. Heenan continues to manipulate situations to ensure Reigns remains the unstoppable force in the company. Jimmy Hart: Wrestler: The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E) Alignment: Babyface Combination: Jimmy Hart's energetic and enthusiastic persona would perfectly complement the high-energy and entertaining style of The New Day. Relationship and TV Performance: Hart would serve as The New Day's hype man, adding excitement and charisma to their entrances and matches. Opponents: The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) Angle: Hart promotes The New Day as the embodiment of positivity and challenges The Usos to a match to settle their long-standing rivalry. Result: The New Day manages to overcome The Usos' tactics and secure the victory. Immediate Aftermath: Jimmy Hart celebrates with The New Day, emphasizing their unity and positivity. The alliance between Hart and The New Day continues, as they spread joy and entertainment throughout the WWE. Jim Cornette: Wrestlers: FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) Alignment: Heel Combination: Jim Cornette's old-school mentality and managerial skills would perfectly align with FTR's traditional, no-nonsense tag team style. Relationship and TV Performance: Cornette would serve as FTR's outspoken and controversial manager, emphasizing their tag team prowess and criticizing modern wrestling styles. Opponents: The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) Angle: Cornette claims that FTR is the true embodiment of tag team wrestling and challenges The Young Bucks to a match for tag team supremacy. Result: With Cornette's interference, FTR manages to deliver a low blow behind the referee's back and secure the victory over The Young Bucks. Immediate Aftermath: FTR continues to dominate the tag team division under Cornette's guidance, using their tactics to further frustrate and anger the fan-favorite teams. Mr. Perfect: Wrestler: Seth Rollins Alignment: Heel Combination: Mr. Perfect's perfectionist persona and in-ring expertise would perfectly align with Seth Rollins' arrogant and technically sound character. Relationship and TV Performance: Mr. Perfect would act as Rollins' mentor, showcasing his own flawless skills and demanding excellence from Rollins. Opponent: Daniel Bryan Angle: Mr. Perfect challenges Daniel Bryan, claiming that Rollins is the true "Perfect" competitor and challenges Bryan to prove him wrong. Result: Seth Rollins manages to outsmart Daniel Bryan and secure the victory. Immediate Aftermath: Mr. Perfect commends Seth Rollins on his victory, solidifying their alliance based on their shared belief in perfection. Rollins becomes even more confident and arrogant, with Mr. Perfect guiding him to maintain his spot at the top of the WWE. Fred Blassie: Wrestler: Brock Lesnar Alignment: Heel Combination: Fred Blassie's cunning and ruthless nature would perfectly complement Brock Lesnar's dominating and destructive in-ring style. Relationship and TV Performance: Blassie would act as Lesnar's calculating and strategic advisor, ensuring Lesnar's path of destruction continues. Opponent: Bobby Lashley Angle: Fred Blassie boasts about Lesnar's dominance and declares him the "Ultimate Beast." However, Bobby Lashley, managed by MVP, interrupts Blassie, claiming that he is the true "Alpha Male" of professional wrestling. The two managers engage in a war of words, leading to a clash between Lesnar and Lashley. Result: With limited interference from Blassie and MVP, Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley engage in a highly physical and intense matchup. The match goes back and forth, showcasing the power and athleticism of both competitors. In the end, Lesnar narrowly secures the victory, leaving Lashley frustrated. Immediate Aftermath: Fred Blassie gloats about Lesnar's triumph, asserting his dominance as the manager of the "Ultimate Beast." MVP, on the other hand, consoles Bobby Lashley, vowing that they will regroup and come back stronger. The feud between Lesnar and Lashley continues, with both competitors seeking to prove themselves as the most dominant force in professional wrestling. Mr. Fuji: Wrestler: Shinsuke Nakamura Alignment: Heel Combination: Mr. Fuji's devious and sneaky tactics would align well with Shinsuke Nakamura's eccentric and unpredictable persona. Relationship and TV Performance: Fuji would act as Nakamura's manager, using his knowledge of underhanded tactics to gain an advantage for Nakamura. Opponent: AJ Styles Angle: Fuji taunts AJ Styles, claiming Nakamura is superior and challenging Styles to a match to prove Nakamura's dominance. Result: With limited interference from Fuji, Shinsuke Nakamura employs mind games to outmaneuver AJ Styles and secure the victory. Immediate Aftermath: Mr. Fuji celebrates with Nakamura, further establishing their partnership based on Fuji's guidance and Nakamura's unique charisma. The feud between Nakamura and Styles continues, with Fuji plotting more schemes. Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman): Wrestler: Drew McIntyre Alignment: Heel Combination: Paul Heyman's charismatic and manipulative persona would complement Drew McIntyre's intense and dominant in-ring style. Relationship and TV Performance: Heyman would act as McIntyre's mouthpiece, amplifying his message of dominance and presenting him as an unstoppable force. Opponent: Edge Angle: Heyman claims that McIntyre is the new face of WWE and challenges Edge, claiming McIntyre will retire him. Result: With limited interference from Heyman, Drew McIntyre and Edge engage in a hard-hitting battle, with McIntyre ultimately coming out victorious. Immediate Aftermath: Paul Heyman revels in McIntyre's triumph, further solidifying their alliance. McIntyre's reign as a top heel continues, with Heyman continuing to advocate for his dominance. Sensational Sherri: Wrestler: Sasha Banks Alignment: Babyface Combination: Sensational Sherri's vibrant personality and managerial skills would complement Sasha Banks' charismatic and high-flying style. Relationship and TV Performance: Sherri would act as Banks' mentor, providing guidance and adding an extra layer of flair to her character. Opponent: Bayley Angle: Sherri confronts Bayley, claiming Banks is the true standard-bearer of the women's division, leading to a match to settle the score. Result: Sasha Banks and Bayley put on a classic encounter, with Banks emerging as the victor. Immediate Aftermath: Sensational Sherri celebrates with Sasha Banks, showcasing their strong bond. Banks' popularity as a babyface grows, with Sherri continuing to add her unique touch to Banks' performances.

SHOW SUMMARY: In part two of this week's two-part episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they cover these topics:* Is the Jericho Appreciation Society Right? Does AEW need more "sports entertainment" content? Isn't that what even AEW fans are reacting most to? * Should Tony Khan hire more expert backstage personnel to up their game? * Is Bray Wyatt like the DCEU where the trailers make you think the movie will be great, but the movies are ultimately letdowns? Will Uncle Howdy have a satisfying payoff? * Would Sami's turn have been better off with a tweak where the Bloodline turned on him instead? * What WWF Coliseum Home Video matches would Todd have liked to watch? * Did the Kevin Owens beatdown at the Royal Rumble too closely resemble the Tyre Nichols video just released? * What went wrong with Maven becoming a bigger pro wrestling star? * Won't it turn out to be a mistake putting Cody Rhodes in the WrestleMania main event against Roman Reigns instead of Sami Zayn? * Is it time to acknowledge Kofi Kingston's WWE Title reign was a mistake and leaves an ugly mark on its history like Dolph Ziggler's reign? * Should the Royal Rumble wrestlers be more active even when they're not the focus? * Didn't Sami not only earn sympathy but also respect for how he stood up to the Bloodline? * What would the alternative plan be if Roman Reigns got hurt before WrestleMania? * Why do people think WWE fans will grow tired of Cody like AEW fans when the situations are so different?

NOTE: This episode was originally posted on 1/21, but there was some kind of RSS feed error, so we're reposting it.SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by (Not That) Tom Green as we dust off and rebrand an old ProWres Paradise series - "What's on the Telly?" In this monthly series Alan and a guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that week in the past and break it down. Tom, being the master of WCW Deep Cuts, of course brought his World Championship Wrestling knowledge to the table with his pick as we looked at the January 25th, 1992 episode of Worldwide featuring lots of Dangerous Alliance, a new side of Abdullah the Butcher, Lex Luger making things difficult, and some wonderful heelish dancing! Plus, a look at 1992 fashion trends brought to us by Madusa. Then we go to Alan's pick/punishment - the January 23rd, 1999 episode of ECW Hardcore TV. It's 1999 in a nutshell as we get awful "shoot promos," awful walk & brawls, and folks who look like they had some awfully unhealthy recreational habits. But there were bright spots (God bless Super Crazy and Tajiri) and plenty of interesting things to discuss. So pick up your remote and see What's on the Telly!Extra Note: Before the main show, Alan and Tom give their thoughts on the awful tragedy that saw the great Jay Briscoe lose his life this week. On a future 30 4L 30, Alan and Sean Radican will talk for hours about Jay's incredible career, which they experienced from the early days. Our best wishes and hope to Ashley, Grace, Jayleigh, Gannon, Mark, and the rest of the Pugh clan. They're in all of our hearts.DIRECT LINK: VIP AUDIO LINKNOT VIP?

In 2023 we will continue celebrating what is now over 30 years of professional wrestling fandom, and Alan will welcome more guests to reminisce about the amazing careers of 30 wrestlers who have been such big parts of that journey. Our subject this time around is the personification of an unsung hero, but it's time to sing our hearts out about Susumu. For 25 years, he's been an integral part of the Dragon System fabric, and whether you know him as Jimmy Susumu, Susumu Yokosuka, or Susumu Mochizuki, you'll know he's the definition of a workhorse. Susumu is the quiet man, perennially understated and as a result often classed as underrated. But those who know...they know. And our guest for 30 4L 30 #16 is someone who most definitely knows! Open the Voice Gate's Case Lowe joined Alan for three hours of discussion about Susumu's career, what makes him so great, his singles rivalries, his classic tag team partnerships, and much more.

SHOW SUMMARY:In the latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L flies solo to look at a topic of discussion from this past week - a term coined several years ago: "The Miracle Match." Alan breaks down what the term means to him and what he initially meant it to represent, and runs through some of the matches which really define the different types of miracle match. In discussing these ten bouts, he does a jaunt around the globe hitting New York City, Hamburg, Aomori, and even the apparently real place known as Sunrise Florida, amongst more wrestling hotspots. Some of the wrestlers popping up include the good (Jerry Lynn, Shinobu, Daisuke Sekimoto, Big Van Walter), the bad (Iron Sheik), and the ugly (a baseball bat wielding, shirtless, annoying Vince Russo). This one really runs the gamut of the wrestling world and its history. Check it out!

SHOW SUMMARY:In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L embraces the time of year where one gets to put an unhealthy amount of time and energy into analyzing what it means to be a Hall of Famer in the realm of professional wrestling! That's right, it's HOF season, and Alan is joined by fellow voter Dave Musgrave to talk about the changes to the ballot this year, some of the more interesting candidates to them, and how their final ballots might take shape (Dave gets points for early submission; Alan is leaving his to the wire!). Some of the candidates discussed include Sputnik Monroe (a man with an incredible story that went beyond wrestling), Ole Anderson (a man who definitely does not care about being in the Hall, except that he really does care...a lot), Tomohiro Ishii, CIMA, and of course Shingo Takagi. That's just the tip of the iceberg, as there was so much to chew on this year. Check it out!

This includes Todd's Top 15 father-son/daughter combos and his Worst 5 sons or daughters of successful fathers. * Follow-up on another Sean Spears-like reverting to an old bad gimmick because trying something else was actually worse? * Could Jey Uso be a good candidate to end Roman Reigns's title reign, perhaps with Rock in his corner? * Might MJF not only use William Regal's brass knuckles to win, but only after Regal hands him the knux and advises him to use them? * Will Todd and Wade agree to change how they pronounce "buoy"? * Thoughts on Randy Savage, including pre-WWF, and what were his strengths and weaknesses? Why is Savage still such a popular wrestler, including fans dressing as him? * Comparing the Megapowers and Bloodline storylines. * Does the lack of impact of Triple H bringing wrestlers back show that Vince McMahon hadn't really lost it after all? * Shouldn't Ace Steele's wife, Lucy Guy, have been interviewed by AEW in their investigation into what happened between Punk and The Elite? * Explain why part-time Roman Reigns as champion gets so much praise. * Is WWE still a wrestling company considering how its revenue stream and booking decisions are evaluated so differently now compared to other eras? * Did Blood & Guts solve anything considering the teams involved are still feuding? * Will Punk eventually be proven to be correct in his assessment of AEW as an immature, glorified minor league that isn't serious about taking the necessary steps to reach its fullest business and creative potential? * How self-serving is Chris Jericho coming across as now in his burial of Punk lately? * How bad is AEW's talent decision making lately with subtraction by addition capped off with Jeff Jarrett this week? * Why have the TNT and AEW World titles switched positions lately, with one champ on TV weekly and the other infrequently featured on TV?

Punk mostly right about what he said at the All Out media Q&A? * Has Tony Khan learning anything from the controversies he's faced lately? * Why do people keep talking about 26 year old MJF as if he's super-young? * Is it just a coincidence that the people Wade does impressions of end up doomed? * Is it better to have no character like Mustafa Ali or a goober like Johnny Gargano? * Who are the contenders and who is the best option to beat Roman Reigns? * How does the lead-in help wrestling shows' ratings? * Should a Baron Corbin-type wrestler who has "go-away heat" be the top heel champion since he'd get genuine heat? * Would MJF take the beating from The Firm to throw everyone off and still be a heel? * Would it have made sense, or still make sense, for The Fiend to become Windham Rotunda to move away from the supernatural aspects of his act?

SHOW SUMMARY: In part two of this week's two-part episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they cover these topics: * Antonio Inoki vs. Muhammad Ali - unmitigated disaster, fascinating tactical battle, or something in between? * What would be the one wish Todd and Wade each would have for WWE and AEW? * Thoughts on Ariel Helwani asking Tony Khan questions on controversial topics by saying it'd be unfair to ask Triple H about Vince McMahon? * Would Titus O'Neil have been an effective opponent for Hulk Hogan in the 1980s? Did Titus overachieve or underachieve? Which WWE Champion would it have been best for Titus to defeat to win the belt if he had a reign? * Shouldn't Triple H have hired more wrestling people rather than a Hollywood guy? * Is one of the strengths of AEW the commentary feeling more authentic and raw? * Should Jon Moxley pull back on how hard he hits wrestlers with his King Kong Lariat after what happened to Hangman Page? Does his ring style limit the opponents he can face when defending his title? * Given the biggest rating for AEW Dynamite was for the premiere episode built partially around Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, and it outdrew C.M. Punk's AEW debut, does that refute Punk saying those three aren't draws? * With '90s nostalgia big right now, could a wrestling company capitalize on that by recreating aspects of the Attitude Era? * Could Lucha Libre style wrestling ever become truly big in the U.S.?

SHOW SUMMARY:In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by Mike Spears to talk about his recent article on the state of U.S. independent wrestling. Using the recent appearances by Dragongate stars as a launching point, Alan and Mike not only talk about that specifically (has it been a success?), but get into the positives and negatives of the North American indy scene as a whole. Everything from production to promotional philosophies to talent pool is discussed in detail, even how the fan dynamic has changed to the impact of social media and how it's being used. With close to twenty years of perspective each when it comes to the changes in independent wrestling, Alan and Mike lean on that to take a macro look at how it's evolved and how it might continue to evolve in the future. Two hours of honest and frank discussion with no negative agenda and no empty platitudes (a curse upon the scene!). Check it out.

SHOW SUMMARY: In part two of this week's two-part episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they cover these topics: * A follow-up on the lack of history of pro wrestling in the pre-1900s era. * What is the history of big name boxers benefiting pro wrestling's business? * When are wrestlers typically told the finish of their matches? * Is Steve Austin right when he says if you're not in pro wrestling to be world champion, you shouldn't be in the business? * Aren't a lot of AEW's issues behind the scenes more typical pro wrestling locker room stuff than an actual indictment of Tony Khan's promoting style? * Thoughts on the pros and cons of MJF's approach in his promo last week on Dynamite. * Isn't there a happy medium between defending the WWE Title every month and doing it as infrequently as Roman Reigns is? * Has WWE explained what Damage CTRL means? * What is Jungle Boy meant to be? * Why did WWE show a close-up of a fan wearing a t-shirt with a reference to Chris Benoit? * Shouldn't Drew McIntyre be more hung up on how he was cheated out of a chance to win his match against Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle and actually demand a rematch rather than just talk about Solo Sikoa? * Where are the best sources of AWA wrestling history? * Point by point legal analysis of leverage C.M. Punk might have on AEW given the nature of what went down after his media Q&A with the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. * Did Punk plan to trigger everything that happened after All Out or was it based on genuine emotions and it led to things he didn't anticipate? * Is AEW at risk of turning away fans now that the most interesting story is behind the scenes turmoil that they aren't even addressing on TV? * What is Tony Khan's end game with Jade Cargill and has he likely picked out who will eventually beat her? * Has any pro wrestling company lost more momentum in a year than AEW has in terms of its relative perception to its primary competitor, WWE? * Who should finally beat Roman Reigns? * Isn't it already clear a mistake was made by Paul Levesque not having Drew McIntyre beat Roman Reigns now that Reigns is moving on to a match with Logan Paul?

Jon Moxley forgoes a well-earned, six week vacation to save AEW from itself. The PWI just dropped its annual 500 list and there is plenty of fodder to yell and argue with your friends about as usual for the publication. A tiny bit of "She-Hulk" talk, some even tinier book club talk, and the mailbag gets emptied.

Some of the on-screen response that we saw last week was very familiar in nature to how Gabe Sapolsky and the ROH crew rebounded in Spring/Summer 2004, and the next few months will see Tony Khan face more creative challenges which will determine how strong the bounce-back is from the problems that AEW finds itself trying to emerge from. C.M. Punk's unique role in both situations 18 years apart, the importance of the world title, the rise of younger stars, and much more discussed in a real interesting chat with Trevor.

Punk and Michael Jordan in terms of locker room leadership shortcomings? * Is it time to reevaluate some early 2000s Vince McMahon skits in light of recent revelations about him? * Could MJF still end up an inadvertent babyface in all of this? * What is the latest on Kota Ibushi? * Why did Tay Conti change her last name on TV? * What are Todd's favorite movies the last five years? * More thoughts on "banger" vs. "dope" and who can get away with saying such words. * Have there ever been audibles called mid-match to change a finish because of crowd response or other reasons?

Are most successful wrestlers just power-hungry politicians? * If MJF comes back, how will that reshape how that situation played out overall? * Was Hangman Page's promo about Punk anything other than building a match? * Are the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Hangman Page interacting only amongst themselves and their friends at the expense of the overall product? * Who do you think has the ability to turn Punk heel, and the potential to be a number one babyface on the AEW roster? * Is Tessa Blanchard worth the hassle of hiring if you're AEW or WWE? * Was Verne Gagne the most difficult of regional promoters to work with, as "Death of the Territories" portrays? * If Verne could have sucked it up and kept either Pro Wrestling USA or the AWA-CWA-WCCW alliance going, does the AWA survive past May 1991 even if only for another year or two? * Who are Todd's top five MCs? * Why does Wade refer to Triple H now as Paul Levesque almost exclusively? * Thoughts on Abyss's career and would he have made a good opponent for Hulk Hogan in the WWF in the 1980s? * Are there any AEW, TNA, or New Japan wrestlers who have contacts that are due to expire prior to the Royal Rumble? * Looking at the current landscape, who are the top three picks as potential 2023’s Rumble winners? * Would it be a good idea for Tony Khan to meet Vince McMahon privately if he were willing or even feature him on his TV show? * Does it seem more likely now that WWE could buy AEW? * Does it hurt AEW's PPV buyrate to not have a main event announced yet for All Out? * What is the likely dynamic between Levesque and Nick Khan now that Levesque is bringing back so much of NXT that was disassembled and downplayed over the last year? * What happened to the momentum that Orange Cassidy seemed to have after his match with Will Ospreay? * Was delaying Goldberg's WWE Title win until Unforgiven 2022 justified given the boost in buyrate for that event, almost a two-for-one situation? * Clarification on Drew McIntyre's actual home town! * What value does Jim Ross bring to AEW broadcast?

Celebrating 30 years as an obsessed professional wrestling fan, over the next year Alan will welcome 30 guests to reminisce about the amazing careers of 30 wrestlers who have been such big parts of that journey. The focus of this episode is a man who lives up to his lofty nickname, and that is simply "Mr. Pro Wrestling." With close to 40 years on the job, Genichiro Tenryu had a career that very few have ever approached matching. From his grounding in All Japan Pro Wrestling, to his travels abroad, his work as the top star in his own promotions in the 1990s, and his status as a top freelance star in his fifties, Tenryu had the opportunity to share a ring with pretty much everyone who was anyone in the business until his poetic retirement match against Kazuchika Okada in 2015. Alan is joined by one of his great friends, and a bastion of Tenryu knowledge, Dean Knickerbocker, to try to do justice to this amazing career. What made Tenryu so special? What are some of his must-see matches and greatest rivalries? What is his influence on wrestling? All these topics and more are tackled on a show we're very proud of. Check it out.

SHOW SUMMARY: In part three of this week's three-part episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they cover these topics: * Is AEW TV beginning to look too much like familiar WWE formatting? * Was Jesse Ventura really the first heel commentator in pro wrestling? * Was Vince McMahon more hands off with announcers in the 1980s? * Is it true that throwing people over the top rope used to be grounds for disqualification? * A response to a roster depth chart for AEW with a structured set of tiers that lead booking decisions and matches. * Was Ole Anderson justified in thinking the future Undertaker, "Mean" Mark Callous, would never be a draw? * Some discussion of how titles are portrayed in pro wrestling today. * Is there already reason to be concerned about Paul Levesque's booking after just a few weeks including the return of Karrion Kross and the continued inclusion of Omos along with sugar-rush booking decisions? * How does Konosuke Takeshita's excursion to the U.S. compare to other excursions of Japanese wrestlers? Should AEW try to sign him to a full-time time deal? And if signing him to a full-time deal torpedoes AEW's relationship with DDT and by extension Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling, would it be worth it given his talent? * If budget cuts were the reason for WWE roster cuts under Nick Khan, why is it suddenly okay for Paul Levesque to be bringing so many of them back? * Drew's hometown. * Thoughts on the defunct Lucha Underground? * Does Brian Gewirtz really not understand why WWE writing isn't an asset when trying to get other Hollywood jobs? * How did Wade let Brian get away with saying to Wade "you know the business quite well"? * Will Levesque hold it against Cody Rhodes that he did the throne-smashing stunt? Were the prospects of a main event push of Cody better off under the Vince McMahon regime? * Is the talk of The Rock headlining against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania next year just speculation or based on credible reporting? * Does the show-closing IC Title match from Summerslam 1992 hold up today? How was it reviewed back at the time? * Did AEW make a mistake not promoting the Jon Moxley-C.M. Punk segment and the return of Kenny Omega given ratings were low for the show? Is too much of a premium put on surprises? * Is pro wrestling going to be less fun to watch and analyze without Vince McMahon around doing what he did? * What reasons are likely the cause of WWE seeming to be better and heating in this year even before Paul Levesque took over booking? * Are these AEW wrestlers better or worse off than early in their AEW runs? Jungle Boy, Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, The Dark Order, MJF, Hangman Page, The Young Buck, and Trent Beretta? * Would either Todd or Wade be intrigued by a job in pro wrestling overseeing quality control and storyline consulting?

SHOW SUMMARY: In this week's Interview Classic episode from five years ago (July 2017), PWTorch editor Wade Keller and PWTorch columnist Bruce Mitchell interviewed J.J. Dillon and Stan Hanse in Waterloo, Iowa at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center as part of the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame weekend in front of a live studio audience. It’s an engaging, entertaining, laugh-out-loud, fascinating hour with two legends, including Hansen who has done very few interviews since his retirement. Dillon managed the Four Horsemen, worked closely with Vince McMahon as a front office worker, and has been around so many big moments and big stars in pro wrestling with so many stories to share. Hansen is one of the all-time greats in the ring and on the mic, with a legendary feud with Bruno Sammartino, a great run in Japan as a tag team with Bruiser Brody, a run as AWA Champion including a famous incident with the title belt when he quit, and time in WCW. They each share great stories and answer questions from the hosts and the live studio audience.

Is this Paul Levesque's biggest mistake yet or could it work out just fine and ultimately show Vince McMahon screwed up Kross and he can succeed as a top act otherwise? Plus, will Sasha Banks & Naomi return to win the Tag Tournament? If not them, who? And so much more.
In the VIP Exclusive Aftershow, they talk with Javier Machado and then read and respond to Mailbag questions.

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L brings you the seventh edition of "30 4L 30," our take on ESPN's 30 for 30 series. Celebrating 30 years as an obsessed professional wrestling fan, over the next year Alan will welcome 30 guests to reminisce about the amazing careers of 30 wrestlers who have been such big parts of that journey. The focus of this episode is one half of the Motor City Machine Guns, and a man who has done it all in the world of TNA and Impact Wrestling since 2003 - Chris Sabin. Yes, throw up your palms and point as we Hail Sabin, and pay tribute to a career that is all too often overlooked. However, as our special guest Sarah Flannery attests, it's a career that upon closer examination stacks up extremely well next to some of the more celebrated stars of Sabin's generation. Alan and Sarah discuss just how insanely good Sabin was from the get-go, and the tools that made him a natural in ring, plus some of his greatest matches in both the singles and tag ranks. All this and some wild tangents down the side streets of the early 2000s Mid-West indy scene, which lead to a near three-hour show. Check it out!

What eras were his strengths on display? * Pushback on criticism of Jungle Boy's promos lately and showing arrogance that's not in step with his presentation and character. * Thoughts on C.M. Punk's comments about Sasha Banks and Naomi with some added historical perspective on Brock Lesnar and Steve Austin. * Will Tony Khan calm down and let Dynamite breath a little bit once he presumably has a new bigger TV deal in place? * Should AEW be worried about the Warner Media-Discover merger? * While Raw is already better thanks to "an absence of irritations," what big picture changes would still benefit the product? * Shouldn't Akira Taue get more acclaim as one of the four key names of the 1990s and '90s All Japan classic era? * Who would be Wade and who would be Todd in various famous tag teams and pop culture pairings over the decades from a list offered by a listener? * Which wrestlers did they think would become big stars who didn't and which stars became big stars they didn't think would? * Who is their tip to win the English Premier League this year? * What are their favorite and least favorite wrestling belts over the decades? * In defense of Nick Khan. * Thoughts on wrestlers lying or working people outside of the confines of pro wrestling shows. * Is Edge accurately depicting the tone of The Brood these days? * Is it safe to say Paul Levesque is already showing he will do a better job promoting women wrestlers? * Should Dax and Cash replaced Shawn and Marty as the go-to comparison of a standout personality and a secondary personality in a tag team?

SHOW SUMMARY: In this Dailycast episode, Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland trek down to Nashville, Tenn. to brave Ric Flair's Last Match - the PPV and the match, one of the most harrowing viewing experiences either of us have encountered. Ric Flair made it through, but can we? Beyond Flair & Andrade vs. Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal, we look at the rest of the show, a mixed bag with Josh Alexander vs. Jacob Fatu, Bandido vs. Rey Fenix vs. Black Taurus vs. Laredo Kid, the Motor City Machine Gun vs. the American Wolves, and more, plus talk about the show trying to cater to both a nostalgia crowd and current fans simultaneously and measure how successful it was, the strengths of making a main event feel special, and how we would have structured Flair's final match differently. Then in a very special VIP edition, we head full bore across the Pacific to tackle Chris's obsession with the Yoshi Hashi Agenda, watching his G-1 matches against Shingo Takagi and Juice Robinson. Not for the faint of heart.

They then talk about the scheduled topic of the show - Darren's new book on the infamous "Doctor Who" episode Kill the Moon. They discuss its odd mixture of the adult and the childish, the enduring and unique appeal of "Doctor Who," and the overly rigid mindsets of fandom.

SHOW SUMMARY: In part three of this week's three-part episode of The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they cover these topics: * Why is AEW partnering with an ocean foundation for the Fight for the Fallen event? * Should AEW's strategy shift to trying to bring in new fans instead of super-serving existing fans? * Which wrestlers whose careers were cut short had the highest upside, such as Monty Brown, Sonny Siaki, and Matt Cappotelli? * In a legal and journalistic sense, does the word "alleged" need to be used for the accusations that Vince McMahon paid NDA's for? * How will things change creatively in WWE? * Why would Sasha Banks and Naomi want to return to WWE now that Vince is out of power when most fans are on their side for standing up for themselves? * Why would Stephanie McMahon and Paul Levesque even plan for the long-term health of WWE given that WWE will likely be sold and they might not be in power long? * What are the pros and cons of Vince McMahon's career and does the good outweigh the bad? * Did Tony Khan use bad judgment with his Tweet in response to Vince McMahon's retirement? * Should Surfer Sting return as a result of being sprayed by Malakai Black's black mist spray? * Could learning to unlock locks be a secret skill leading to success in pro wrestling? * Does Nick Wayne have a bright future? * Was Sid good at promos in the 1990s? * Will Paul Levesque be better at developing likable babyfaces than Vince was? * If WWE eventually has a single CEO, is it more likely to be Stephanie McMahon or Nick Khan? * Are we more likely to get a Vince McMahon tell-all book or podcast now? * Is there too much optimism about Levesque as booker given his peak was booking for NXT when it was a one-hour show and now he has to book five hours? * Could you see Vince thinking he could make a comeback when the heat dies down? * If retirement sticks, what will Vince McMahon do with his time? Wrong answers only, please. * Is there anything that could cause Vince to relinquish his majority stake in WWE? * Could the tragedy of Ashley Massaro and WWE's cover up of the incident alleged to have happened in Iraq resurface as part of the scandals facing Vince? * Does Levesque taking over creative affect John Cena and The Rock's chances of being involved in WWE's future? * Will Levesque rely less on fringe celebrities and will he let wrestlers have their full names back? * Any updates on Patrick Clark and Lars Sullivan? What kind of careers were they likely to have? * How much trouble is Vince in given what we know at this point? Is prison a possibility? * Would Todd or Wade agree to an interview with Vince McMahon if he offered? Would you push back against some of his more outlandish claims? * Did Tony Khan handle a recent question poorly about fans speculating online about wrestlers wanting to go to WWE now that Vince isn't in charge? * Which wrestlers stand to benefit the most from the Vince retirement and who stand to lose the most?
