I've got something to say about the new Resident Evil movie and some of the negative feedback around it, then we're getting into MLW finally getting its Tubi deal after WWE's best efforts years ago to scuttle it... the state of the WWE/TNA partnership and why it's not the worst thing to have fewer NXT talents on their shows right now... Riyadh attacks and travel advisories put the status of Crown Jewel into question... Worlds Collide NOT scheduled to air live, but the lineup just got a big boost, and the pure GREED of something they just did with Club WWE... Cody Rhodes reveals the TERRIBLE IDEA he had to sell his soul last year, and not to The Rock... responding to comments made by Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona... AEW All Out 2026 PREDICTIONS, including the match we were supposed to get in 2021 but are getting now... and answering YOUR questions on why Colt Cabana was never a bigger star, epic moments that never happened and the Mount Rushmore of NFL players who transitioned to pro wrestling!

Mark Shapiro of TKO and Nick Khan had some things to say this week, including WWE and Disney working together, and calling WWE the best in all of wrestling in terms of creative thanks to Triple H... TripleMania Night One thoughts and a Night Two preview... thoughts on Sami Zayn winning the WWE championship and Stephanie Vaquer winning the Women's World Championship at a live event in Chile, and what this means for Roman Reign's title defense on Raw against Penta... the parody tweet that was amplified by Jonathan Coachman... thoughts on the Rebel Heart episode of Dynamite and AEW's tribute to The Butcher on Collision... Ric Flair sues a talent agency for $10 million for "duping" him out of his name and likeness... and YOUR questions about Moxley, Omega, Okada and The Bucks possibly becoming free agents next year... Jim Cornette and Eric Bischoff's critiques of Kenny Omega and how to distinguish between good faith and bad faith takes... famous storylines that had no payoff... and a story about how Kane nearly ended up with a theme by Type O Negative.

I woke up this morning to the shocking news that Andy Williams a/k/a The Butcher had passed away and I've got a few things to say about that, as well as the death of Memphis legend Bill Dundee.  Then, we're talking all of the NXT and PC cuts that WWE made on Friday and why the "LFG curse" is real... a FULL review on Smackdown since I did not get the chance to go live on Friday, including the debut of Hiromu Takahashi and newson Chelsea Green's EYEBALL... a final preview and predictions for Sunday Night's Main Event, with news on WWE partnering with a local STRIP CLUB to promote new merch... Kofi and Austin Creed reveal they were asked to take pay cuts of MORE than 50 percent by WWE... explaining my stance on why Mercedes Mone is the greatest women's wrestler I've ever seen... and Tessa Blanchard announced for her MLW debut, until CMLL comments and now it looks like it may not even happen!

Zilla Fatu has arrived in NXT and that's a good thing, plus what his Bloodline future may look like... thoughts on Solo Sikoa being served up to Roman Reigns tomorrow night, why it's NOT the end of his babyface run and what it could mean (lol) for LA Knight at Money in the Bank... Bayley's social media video RAISES EYEBROWS in WWE and you have got to be kidding me... thoughts on the final faceoff with CM Punk and Kevin Owens before their title match in Toronto, Chelsea Green's fate as Women's champion, the FIVE segments that did not air on Smackdown and why the show should NEVER be three hours again... AEW Continental Cup updates, including the man who was injured on Collision, the current lineup for All In London and where things stand as far as attendance... my DARK SIDE OF THE RING REVIEW on "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and his sad ending... YOUR QUESTIONS on Dave Meltzer's star ratings, Tessa Blanchard's future with WWE, the real reason Vince McMahon didn't want Randy Savage back, wrestling referee pet peeves... and my thoughts on The End Of Oak Street!

The wrestling world lost Dory Funk Jr. this week, one of the more legendary names in the history of the business, and I'll talk a little bit about why that is.  Brock Lesnar also announced his RETIREMENT this week and I've got a lot to say about that, too, including how legit I think it is, what his legacy will be and the best Brock matches of his career.  Plus, thoughts on the WWE/AAA tournament to crown a challenger for Roman Reigns in Mexico City... Smackdown thoughts from Friday on Kevin Owens and CM Punk's first face-to-face, Tatum Paxley's debut and then injury that could DERAIL Chelsea Green's title run before it even begins... AJ Styles sticking up for his son leads to SAD TWEET honors for this week... why the Paramount deal to acquire WBD, in my opinion, appears to be DEAD and what that means for AEW... Grand Slam Mexico fallout with the return of MJF... and my DARK SIDE OF THE RING REVIEW on the quick rise and tragic fall of The Renegade from WCW.

Solomonster reviews the post Summerslam episode of WWE Raw, which may have been their best all year as it felt like a bit of a much-needed reset.  LA Knight standing up to Roman Reigns, Oba Femi and Bron Breakker eyeballing each other, the returns of Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer, the debut of Big Cass and an unexpected cliffhanger with Rey Mysterio and Roman Reigns going off to discuss... AAA BUSINESS?

Holy crap, it's a LOADED SHOW in between both nights of WWE Summerslam with my reaction to Night One, including Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi inside Hell in a Cell, and Triple H's comments after the show about the need for talents to GET THEMSELVES OVER if they want to be in a top spot.  I've got a LOT to say about that, as well as his absurd comments from Thursday on Busted Open Radio about wishing the fans would just BELIEVE more (yes, it is OUR fault, you see!).  Plus, the latest installment of LOLTNA with Lebron James, thoughts on the Grayson Waller "pipebomb" from NXT this week and a DARK SIDE OF THE RING REVIEW on the life and death of the Big Boss Man, including insights into his close friendship with Chris Benoit NOT included in the episode!

Solomonster reviews WWE Raw from Detroit, which has to be the worst episode of the show all year.  Certainly the most boring and inconsequential of them all.  Danhausen had a GAZILLION segments in the ring and in the back as they attempt to beat that horse to within an inch of its life.  And oh yeah, Tom Brady is in discussions with WWE.  For what, we don't know, but whatever it is, it's not good.

I've got quick thoughts on The Odyssey to share before we get into all the news of the week, including WWE running opposite AEW All Out and NYC events announced for WrestleMania weekend... thoughts on Rhea Ripley NOT being stripped of her championship and instead crowning an INTERIM champion until she's ready to return... Saturday Night's Main Event fallout with Roman Reigns and Jalen Brunson, plus an angry Cody Rhodes confronting CM Punk after the show and what's next for Sami Zayn... AJ Styles advocates for WWE to acquire a promotion in Japan (sigh)... an update on the case against Ludwig Kaiser... a FULL REVIEW for a polarizing episode of AEW Dynamite and I've got a lot to say about it, plus predictions for AEW Redemption... and a DARK SIDE OF THE RING REVIEW on the finale for Jeff Jarrett and the battle for TNA Wrestling, including some incredible LOLTNA moments that were covered here, and others that were not!

It's a BUSY WRESTLING DAY today with TNA, NXT and AEW all hosting major shows, but the news never stops!  Peter Rosenberg said something stupid, but it was good for a laugh at least... plus, TNA pushes back on Tommy Dreamer creative claims... a preview for NXT Great American Bash and a possible debut...

Solomonster is back with a review for a wrestling-heavy episode of AEW Dynamite with nothing else to really sink our teeth into.  We had eight matches and nothing even close to the face-ot-face last week with Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland.  He also has Forbidden Door PREDICTIONS for Sunday and cannot wait until this PPV is over and done with so we can get to the Road to Redemption.

WWE is holding its Night of Champions show next weekend and I've got PREDICTIONS, including for the King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring finals, thoughts on what happened on Smackdown and why Sami Zayn should win the WWE championship in Riyadh.

But it was also a WILD WEEK FOR TNAand I'm covering more TNA news in this one episode than I've ever done in the 19 years of this podcast... with thoughts on Tessa Blanchard LEAVING TNA, Tommy Dreamer "mutually" parting ways with the company (sure thing), Sami Callihan making some noise on his way out after getting the axe and questions about exactly how much money TNA is getting out of this AMC deal as talent continues to flee.

On the AEW side, Jim Ross is back in the hospital again, FTR is taking time away from the ring and thoughts on Maya World's SHOCKING WIN over Athena in the Owen Hart tournament and where things may be headed there with Mercedes Mone in the finals.

Plus, the death of Duke Doherty, thoughts on Cyndi Lauper getting her own WWE action figure and what that means for the Hall of Fame, could a Razor Ramon World title run have worked and my review for the new TOY STORY 5 movie.

Vince McMahon's legal troubles may not be over yet, but he's been spared an embarrassing trial in a SURPRISE move this week, and here's why that makes a return to WWE at some point a lot more likely than it was before.  I have also have words for those who continue to defend this man, including dumb comments from Teddy Long and JBL.  The CM Punk rumors this week have also been INSANE... here's when you can expect him back and a way that he could win... KING OF THE RING?!  Plus... other KOTR and QOTR updates, including the completion of the SMACKDOWN SWEEP as the brand gets totally buried... the Paramount/Skydance acquisition of WBD gets Justice Department approval, but why it could still all fall apart... renewed drama in the Ryan Nemeth lawsuit against AEW as he takes another shot at CM Punk... tribalism in wrestling during the Monday Night War... the best tournament finals in wrestling history, including best KOTR final... and my review for DISCLOSURE DAY, which was supposed to be Steven Spielberg's best film in 20 years.  Yeah, about that...

Last week, Vince McMahon and Nick Khan were SANCTIONED by the judge in the WWE shareholders lawsuit and things looked a lot more bleak for their case, but suddenly, the trial has been canceled.  I've got thoughts on that, and a LOT to say about Nick Khan lying when he says their creative plans for WrestleMania 40 NEVER CHANGED and things played out exactly the way they wanted.  Plus, AAA thoughts from mask vs. mask last weekend and why it's NOW OR NEVER for Chad Gable in WWE... the latest in the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments... LA Knight speaks on why his crowd reactions have diminished from what they used to be... Mick Foley is going to wrestle for AEW... thoughts on a really strong Dynamite show this week and the return of Mercedes Mone... the fate of Lucha Underground REVEALED... the new playable character in WWE 2K26 that you won't believe... the Ilja Dragunov "report" that wasn't this week... how to fix tag team wrestling in WWE... the real heat between Mick Foley and Ric Flair in 2006... Tony Khan may have LEGITIMATELY FORGOT about the ROH Hall of Fame... and a non-spoiler review of the new Masters of the Universe movie!

Solomonster reviews AEW Double or Nothing 2026 from Louie Armstrong Stadium, not only the greatest Double or Nothing the company has ever hosted, but one of its greatest PPV efforts, which is saying a lot considering the quality of those shows.  MJF still has his hair, but also regained his AEW World title after a hellacious battle with Darby Allin, while Cope and Christian make history, Takeshita and Okada steal the show, the Owen Hart tournaments commence and Stadium Stampede offers the insanity you would expect.
