Wrestling fans have been drowning in content this week with major events from WWE, AEW, TNA, and ROH all happening simultaneously. It's been almost too much to process, even for the most dedicated followers of the squared circle.

The podcast welcomes guest Story of Sorrow, a longtime wrestling fan with deep knowledge of indie and Japanese wrestling dating back to the early 90s. Together with the hosts, they dive into several fascinating wrestling discussions, beginning with their Mount Rushmore selections for the greatest male wrestlers of all time. This leads naturally into a preview of WWE's Evolution pay-per-view, breaking down each women's match on the card with spirited debate about who should win and why. The hosts particularly focus on Tiffany Stratton vs. Trish Stratus, questioning whether Rhea Ripley should defeat Io Sky, and whether WWE will finally give Jordan Grace the push she deserves against JC Chang.

The conversation shifts to each host's Mount Rushmore of female wrestlers, showcasing legends like Trish Stratus, Gail Kim, Luna Vachon, Awesome Kong, and Sensational Sherri. This highlights how many pioneering women wrestlers have been historically overlooked despite their tremendous contributions to the industry. The hosts argue that TNA's Knockouts Division was revolutionary years before WWE's "women's revolution" began, providing opportunities for women to showcase their athletic abilities when other promotions wouldn't.

When discussing their favorite women's matches of all time, the hosts revisit classics like Asuka vs. Ember Moon, Sasha Banks vs. Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, and Trish Stratus vs. Lita. This naturally transitions into a heated debate about wrestling's worst booking decisions, from the burial of Nexus to the questionable end of Undertaker's streak. The episode wraps with a wild story about an inappropriate fan incident at a recent indie show, reminding listeners why supporting local wrestling creates unforgettable experiences you simply can't get anywhere else.

When wrestling hits a mid-week slump, what's left for fans to discuss? That's exactly what we tackle in this episode as we dive into the frustrating reality of post-pay-per-view programming from both WWE and AEW.

The pattern has become all too familiar - spectacular PPV events followed by weeks of aimless television. WWE's follow-up to Night of Champions exemplifies this problem, with stars like Cody Rhodes and John Cena seemingly treading water despite their massive popularity. Meanwhile, AEW's 300th episode delivered exceptional in-ring action but continued the company's struggle with compelling storytelling beyond match announcements. We examine how Liv Morgan's injury has thrown WWE's women's division into disarray and question whether either promotion has a strategy for maintaining momentum between major events.

Wrestling's current landscape reveals a fascinating divide: AEW offers "the best wrestling in the world" but lacks the entertainment value that makes storylines memorable, while WWE banks on star power without consistent narrative direction. This fundamental difference raises important questions about what makes wrestling truly engaging for audiences week after week. Is technical brilliance enough without emotional investment? Can character work succeed without quality matches to back it up?

With limited wrestling content to dissect, we lighten the mood with a fun game of Marry-Date-Eliminate featuring women wrestlers from different eras - from the Attitude Era through today's talent. Our sometimes surprising choices spark conversations about how women's wrestling has evolved and the various qualities that make performers memorable beyond their in-ring abilities. Join us for this honest, unfiltered discussion about wrestling's current state and the performers who've shaped the industry across generations.

The nostalgic power of wrestling video games takes center stage as we count down our definitive top 10 wrestling games of all time. From arcade classics to modern innovations, we dive deep into what makes these virtual wrestling experiences truly special, culminating with our unanimous champion – WWF No Mercy.

Before our gaming countdown, we tackle the week's hottest wrestling controversies. Was John Cena's recent "pipe bomb" promo truly deserving of the hype? We break down why it falls short compared to CM Punk's original, despite WWE's attempts to elevate it to legendary status. We also question the wrestling community's sudden positioning of Mercedes Moné as one of the top two female wrestlers in the world, examining why this narrative feels forced and overlooking more deserving talents.

Our Charlotte Flair discussion reveals fundamental differences in how we view character development. While one host sees her queenly evolution as compelling storytelling, the other challenges the lack of humanizing flaws that would make her more relatable to audiences. This spirited debate highlights why wrestling fans often have dramatically different reactions to the same performers.

The SmackDown tag team division gets our passionate advocacy as we explain why these incredible teams deserve better showcase opportunities. We argue that their recent TV matches have been pay-per-view worthy, yet WWE continues to underutilize this division's potential on bigger stages.

Whether you're a wrestling purist, a gaming enthusiast, or both, this episode celebrates the digital squared circle in all its glory. We'd love to hear your top wrestling games in the comments!

When wrestling careers falter, who's truly responsible? This week, we tackle one of wrestling's most divisive questions through the lens of Eva Marie's controversial WWE run. Was she doomed from the start by insufficient training and poor creative direction, or did she give up too easily when the going got tough? Our passionate debate reveals how wrestling companies often position talent for failure while fans pile on criticism – creating a toxic cycle that few can escape.

The conversation pivots to John Cena's recent "pipe bomb" directed at CM Punk, a moment that sharply divided the wrestling community. We dissect why manufactured moments rarely capture the lightning-in-a-bottle authenticity of their inspirations, and why Cena's attempted recreation fell flat despite his legendary status. This analysis exposes the challenges of creating organic moments in today's highly-produced wrestling landscape.

We also tackle intriguing developments across the wrestling world: the mysterious R-Truth mask revelation, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu's family drama, Blake Monroe's glamorous gimmick similarities to Tony Storm's "Timeless" character, and WWE's inconsistent application of rematch clauses. Plus, we share our unfiltered thoughts on Goldberg's return and Jay Uso's ongoing promo struggles despite his in-ring excellence.

Whether you're a casual viewer or hardcore enthusiast, our unvarnished perspective cuts through the noise to deliver the wrestling analysis you won't hear anywhere else. Join us for this rollercoaster episode and share your thoughts on these hot-button issues in the comments!

From the iconic sight of steel cages descending to the heart-stopping spectacle of ladder matches, wrestling stipulations transform ordinary contests into unforgettable theater. This episode dives deep into the specialized match formats that have defined professional wrestling's most memorable moments.

We begin by examining TNA's Against All Odds pay-per-view, highlighting how Santino Marella has transitioned his comedic persona into a surprisingly compelling in-ring performer. The contrast between WWE's mishandling of talented performers like Xia Li and TNA's ability to showcase them effectively demonstrates why alternative promotions remain vital to wrestling's ecosystem. The conversation shifts to WWE's compelling character transformation of Ron Killings (formerly R-Truth), whose symbolic haircut and "I'm driving now" persona suggests a fascinating dissociative identity storyline unfolding before our eyes.

From there, we analyze what makes certain match stipulations truly special. The visual grandeur of Hell in a Cell, the escalating drama of Three Stages of Hell, and the versatile spectacle of ladder matches each offer unique storytelling opportunities when deployed strategically. TNA's innovative 8-4-1 match format – where eight wrestlers start in tag action before the winning team advances to a fatal four-way for a title shot – showcases how fresh competitive structures can engage audiences in ways standard matches cannot.

The podcast concludes by examining how wrestling's evolution has diminished certain stipulations' impact. When finishing moves are regularly kicked out of in standard matches, stipulations like Iron Man or Last Man Standing lose their dramatic weight. The best promotions understand that specialized match types enhance storytelling rather than replace it.

What happened to the days when a finishing move actually finished a match? Wrestling fans have witnessed a dramatic shift in how performers sell impact, and it's fundamentally changing the viewing experience.

The Big Brothers of Destruction dive deep into wrestling's lost art of selling. From John Cena's five consecutive Attitude Adjustments failing to end matches to Jon Moxley absorbing unimaginable punishment only to pop up moments later unfazed, the hosts break down how this diminishes the storytelling that makes wrestling compelling.

Money in the Bank 2024 exemplifies these problems – a predictable show where Seth Rollins stood as the only legitimate main-eventer in the men's ladder match. R-Truth's surprising "release" and return created a rare genuine moment of surprise, while Becky Lynch capturing the Intercontinental Championship raises questions about title prestige and building new stars. Meanwhile, the women's division appears headed toward a predictable path with Naomi's briefcase win likely setting up a future confrontation with Jade Cargill.

The conversation extends into fascinating territory comparing TKO/WWE's talent acquisition strategy to WCW's approach of plucking established stars, while AEW struggles with marathon shows that fail to advance storytelling. The hosts also celebrate TNA's milestone 60th Monsters Ball match, a brutal stipulation historically dominated by Abyss.

What's the solution to wrestling's selling crisis? Can the industry return to making each move matter? Join us as we examine what might save wrestling psychology before finishers become just another move in a wrestler's arsenal.

Johnny Laurinaitis has turned on Vince McMahon, and wrestling may never be the same. The longtime WWE executive and right-hand man to McMahon has reportedly agreed to tell authorities "everything from A to Z" in exchange for leniency, potentially sealing McMahon's fate in his ongoing legal troubles. We break down this shocking development and what it might mean for wrestling's most controversial figure.

The alleged competition between WWE and AEW takes center stage as we analyze WWE's scheduling of events directly against AEW pay-per-views. Is this deliberate targeting or simply smart business? We dive into both perspectives, examining whether WWE truly sees AEW as competition or if they're focused solely on maximizing their own profits against bigger entertainment entities like the NBA and NFL.

AEW's recent quality surge dominates our conversation, particularly their exceptional Double or Nothing pay-per-view. The Hangman Adam Page versus Will Ospreay match delivered tremendous action without relying on the repetitive false finishes that have plagued previous events. Even more compelling is the ongoing Hangman-Swerve Strickland rivalry, which we compare to legendary feuds like Stone Cold versus The Rock – something many fans feel WWE currently lacks.

We also analyze WWE's recent developments, including Bronson Reed's alliance with Seth Rollins, Lyra Valkyria's impressive promo work, and Trick Williams' evolving Hollywood heel persona. The intensifying women's divisions across both companies get special attention, particularly the electric confrontation between Toni Storm and Mercedes Moné.

Our conversation shifts to wrestling's rich history of catchphrases, from Stone Cold's "That's the bottom line" to The Rock's "If you smell..." Before wrapping up, we preview next week's discussion about the legitimacy of finishing moves in modern wrestling. Why can wrestlers kick out of devastating slams but get knocked out by a single forearm strike? Join us to find out!

Ever wonder what makes wrestling feel so electric when you're watching from home? The secret might be the voices guiding you through every slam, submission, and storyline. In this deep-dive episode, we explore how commentators transform wrestling from athletic exhibition into captivating drama.

The pandemic era taught us something profound about wrestling - when crowd reactions disappeared, commentary became our emotional anchor to the matches. Without those passionate voices narrating the action, something essential was missing. As one host explains, "If you ever tried to sit there and watch wrestling on mute, it would be crazy because it just doesn't work."

We tackle the fascinating contrast between WWE and AEW's commentary approaches. WWE commentators like Michael Cole and Pat McAfee excel at entertainment and storytelling, while AEW's team focuses more intensely on in-ring technique. This mirrors the larger philosophical differences between the promotions - WWE showcases entertainers while AEW highlights wrestlers.

The heart of our discussion centers around building a definitive top 10 list of wrestling commentators. Names like Mauro Ranallo, Jim Ross, Joey Styles, and Mike Tenay spark passionate debate about what makes a commentator truly great. Is it their catch phrases? Their technical knowledge? Or perhaps their chemistry with partners?

Speaking of chemistry, we imagine dream commentary pairings across eras and promotions. What if Joey Styles and Mauro Ranallo called an AEW pay-per-view together? We theorize they'd "kill themselves halfway through from sensory overload with the wrestling." Some combinations would create perfect harmony, while others would generate fascinating friction.

Whether you're a longtime fan or new to wrestling, you'll gain a fresh appreciation for the voices that have shaped our collective wrestling memories. These aren't just people talking about what we can already see - they're storytellers transforming athletic performances into emotional journeys.

Join us next week when we'll tackle wrestling's most memorable catchphrases - the signature lines that turned wrestlers into icons!
