SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: Rich Fann of the PWTorch (and Post Wrestling) joins Lance Storm of F4W/Wrestling Observer to seriously cover EVERYTHING. The pair discuss how they became friends, their shared love for the crazy world of pro wrestling, what oversaturation has done for fandom, the importance of keeping the little through-lines in matches, the negatives of tribalism, as well as tag team wrestling’s nadir and what can be done to save it. In the spirit of the show, the pair also meander into topics such as the Knicks’ recent championship, as well as Lance’s acting career – both voice and stage.

You can typically find Rich with Wade Keller over at the Torch (pwtorch.com/govip) or Postwrestling.com and Lance can be found either at Stormwrestlingacademy on Threads, or via his podcasts on f4wonline.com.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: In part two of this week’s episode of “Everything with Rich Fann hosted by Wade Keller,” Wade and Rich focus for the whole hour-plus segment on the C.M. Punk incident at a hotel in Las Vegas yesterday that made TMZ headlines. Wade and Rich disagree on whether Punk’s actions were justified and each make their case. That also led to conversation about whether WWE/TKO should be augmenting their policy and procedures when it comes to wrestlers being able to avoid feeling hounded by fans among other related topics stemming from this highly publicized incident.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)... SHOW SUMMARY: In this episode of “Everything with Rich Fann hosted by Wade Keller,” Wade and Rich discuss the newly released Paul Levesque-Nick Khan-Vince McMahon text exchanges, TKO’s increasing meddling and conflicts of interest with what serves wrestling fans which manifested with the ill-conceived Pat McAfee involvement in the Randy Orton-Cody Rhodes story. Is groundwork being laid for Vince McMahon’s return to TKO in some capacity that could turn into an on-air return or creative role? Why would TKO execs take that chance given what’s known about McMahon now? Thoughts on the C.M. Punk promo on Raw last night and why he was justified to be angry but what he said was just as much about brand-building for himself as it was genuine rage.

Who will win between C.M. Punk and Jey Uso, and was there a better opponent for Punk in that battle royal?

Should Tony Khan utilize Chris Jericho again?
Where does Jericho rank among all-time MVPs of AEW?
Is it a good use of A.J. Styles to win the World Tag Team Titles with Dragon Lee after losing to John Cena?

And a fun finish: Creating a modern-day AEW cartoon out of current roster members to counter WWE pushing the old WWE cartoon series starting Hulk Hogan in the 1980s – and could it lead to a brand-split of sorts with AEW Saturday Morning wrestling?
