With Women's History Month coming to a close and the finals for the ROH World Women's Television Championship going down at Supercard of Honor, I thought we could finally come together and build this women's roster. The women have been killing it lately and they've earned all of the praise. They'll now have two championships to fight over. This is going to be fun.

The Legit Boss. The Blueprint. Koska Reeves. The CEO. Sasha Banks. Mercedes Mone. From NXT to the WWE to NJPW to AEW, this is a woman who has changed professional wrestling for the better. Now that she's back, and since we did it with Bayley, it's time to do it with her best friend. Tell the story. Tell the tale of Mercedes Mone. She's a Horsewomen. She's becoming an icon. It's time for the wrestling world to get back on the train.

The celebration continues but in a different way. Charlotte Flair is an individual whose name invokes a lot of emotion. She is one of the very best to do it, but she might have a golden shovel. Today's episode will be about Charlotte's reign atop the Wrestlemania card. Where is the good? Where is the bad?

The men's Continental Classic is well underway and I felt it was appropriate to show the ladies some love. They have more than earned themselves a similar tournament and I think it'd be highly successful. In today's show, I'm going to book the whole damn thing. Maybe this reaches Tony Khan and he gives us what we want.

I know we've done this show before, but it's always good to revisit things. Re-evaluate. Ring of Honor has great wrestling tradition and will always carry that honor. Since Tony Khan purchased ROH, it's been woven in and out of storylines, but it hasn't truly stood on its own. It's time we change that. We're going to go everything from what to do about the arena to filming to streaming to the roster. It should be fun.

This happens all of the time -- wrestling companies have a large roster and many go untouched, unused, and unnoticed. It's very prevalent in WWE and has started to become an issue in AEW. Impact rarely has this issue. Today, we'll be taking a look at a few people that have disappeared, where they are, and how can they be used.
