The dust has settled on another festival of wrestling in Oberhausen. Ian and Mike return to talk about 2024’s wXw World Tag Team Festival - a weekend that saw every title change hands once again, the return of Timothy Thatcher, and the Y2Kuties going all New Jack on us.

Twelve tag teams - and a whole lot more - are about to descend on Oberhausen as 2024’s World Tag Team Festival kicks off later this week. Ian Hamilton and Mike Kilby run through what to expect, as the tag festival weekender also sees a wXw homecoming for Timothy Thatcher, and a return of an extreme wrestling party.

This episode was recorded before the Shotgun vlog dropped - and features the cards as of that point.

The Dream Factory opens its doors once again as Mike Kilby (“@MikeKilby on everything”) joins us to talk about this past weekend, where Rev Pro tore down the Copper Box Arena at their 12 Year Anniversary show. We go over the Michael Oku vs. Luke Jacobs main event, Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Hechicero, the Cut Throat Collective’s no-disqualification outing, and the rest of a stacked show - along with a quick look at this upcoming weekend’s cards in Berlin with the GWF, and the usual stop at the 229 in London.

Rev Pro’s 12th anniversary show hits the Copperbox this weekend - and we’re here to preview of much of it as we can on the Dream Factory! Ian’s joined by Voices of Wrestling’s Neil David (@chubby_chtulu) to go over Saturday’s card, along with a quick check over the results from this month’s Summer Sizzler and Live in Southampton events.

There's even time for a quick chat over the state of independent wrestling streaming, and why shows feel like they're either going live or being forgotten.

We’re weeks away from Rev Pro’s 12th Anniversary at the Copperbox Arena in London - so what better time to kick off a new podcast? We take a look at Rev Pro's Live in Coventry show… which ended with MJF popping up out of nowhere and challenging Michael Oku for York Hall. The remainder of the card for Summer Sizzler came out today, so we’ll take a look at that, along with a look at what’s announced for Rev Pro's 12th Anniversary show and the rest of a packed end-of-year.
