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 these topics:

  • Could WWE use Andrade leverage to get AEW to gift Adam “Edge” Copeland to them for one last match against John Cena? How does Shinsuke Nakamura and New Japan fit into that?
  • The Rise of Bron Breakker, but is there a ceiling he’s going to hit?
  • Who will win between C.M. Punk and Jey Uso, and was there a better opponent for Punk in that battle royal?
  • What if Dominik Mysterio won the battle royal and then beat C.M. Punk and became World Champion? Would fans push back that it was one step too far or could it be a breakout moment for WWE and Dom that fans rallied behind?
  • 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?
  • What kind of risk does AEW face if Warner Bros. Discover is sold?
  • Plus: Hangman vs. The Opps, Mercedes and all her belts, fallout from Sarah Stock and Amanda Huber debating AEW’s affect on kids, the Augustus Glppp-ification of pro wrestling.
  • 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?

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)…

SHOW SUMMARY:In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L compares and contrasts the recent big shows in Sumo Hall presented by New Japan and Pro Wrestling Noah featuring a few excellent matches, title changes, interesting (questionable) booking, and some rising stars amidst the usual frustrations that both companies offer. The shows provided a great opportunity to see where the two promotions stand against each other, and we took advantage of it – including an impromptu wrestler draft! From there, Alan gives his analysis on AEW’s tremendous WrestleDream event and how that has formed his initial FSM 50 thoughts. Who are the front runners for the wrestler of the year? Listen and find out! Plus, we go back to April 27, 1987 and what might well be the greatest day in wrestling history as fans in Memphis, Tokyo, and Osaka were treated to some incredible scenes from the likes of Inoki, Lawler, Nagayo, Dump, and more.

SHOW SUMMARY:In this weekâ€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:

  • Who was the best in the underdog role among a list of names including Mikey Whipwreck, Sean Waltman, Jeff Hardy, and more
  • Which recent wrestler “hot take” was the worst: Bully Ray wanting The Miz added to A.J. Styles vs. John Cena, Gail Kim’s thoughts on Riho’s presentation, Dutch Mantel on Mercedes Mone being overrated, or Stevie Richards on Kyle Fletcher being “almost good enough for NXT.”
  • Could The Rock return to WWE with an MMA gimmick based on his “Smashing Machine” performance?
  • What now for Oba Femi? Main roster? Royal Rumble? First feud? Heel or face? What title first?
  • Latest legal update on Raja Jackson
  • John Cena vs. A.J. Styles: Did it feel more like an exhibition than an actual match?
  • What would be the best change to Collision? A brand split? A different format? Other?
  • If you could only keep one, would you rather have Kyle Fletcher or Logan Paul if the goal was a long-term bankable main event career?
  • Is AEW announcing really undercutting the product?
  • Is it okay to abandon your home sports team? What if it’s the New York Jets?
  • Could Chris Jericho be a good addition to the new Seth Rollins-free Paul Heyman group?
  • Is today’s pro wrestling style really something that needs to be made safer, as Wade has been advocating?
  • If Jericho returns to WWE, is it one more wrestler eating up TV time who is older coming at the expense of the next Cody or Sami Zayn push that could actually spark business?
  • Should Jon Moxley take time off from AEW after WrestleDream?
  • Why does Heyman have chemistry with some wrestlers, but not others, including Seth?
  • Should Don Owens put the title on the Portland Frog?
