RAW Underground

This week on RAW, Shane McMahon revealed his secret underground fighting ring. Apparently Shane O' Mac has been running this secret fighting club from the performance center for quite some time now. On Monday Night we saw Dabba-Kato, The Viking Raiders and The Hurt Business compete. Who will fight on Raw Underground next? And what will this mean for Monday Night Raw?

RETRIBUTION

This week saw the debut of a brand new faction in WWE, known as RETRIBUTION. The masked members of the new stable caused chaos on RAW and SmackDown this week. Who could be under the balaclavas and why do they want retribution?

The Rock Buys The XFL

The newly relaunched XFL seemed to be going well until the COVID-19 pandemic brought the season to an end. On April 13th, the league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and went up for sale. On August 2nd, a consortium consisting of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Gerry Cardinale purchased the XFL for $15 Million. What could this mean for the future of the XFL?

Talk N’ Shop A Mania

Shortly after their release from WWE, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows launched the Talk N’ Shop podcast. Through this new podcast, they began promoting Talk'n Shop A Mania, an event the promised would be "The Worst Wrestling PPV ever." It may not have been the worst, but it was certainly the strangest wrestling pay-per-view ever. Hear what Mark, Pete, and Marc have to say about Luke Gallows's backyard wrestling pay per view.

Possible IMPACT/AEW Supercard?

Ethan Page of The North and Dax Harwood of FTR had an interesting interaction on Twitter last week, seemingly asking for an inter-promotional match. IMPACT! Wrestling executive Scott D'Amore chimed in later on, saying he would also like to see The North vs FTR but only if the All Elite Wrestling executives approved. Could this be leading to some cross-promotional matches or even a supercard?

As Lucha Underground’s, WWE’s, and MLW’s former play by play commentator Matt Striker took some time to participate in an interview we conducted back in 2015. Striker revealed his passion for wrestling, hockey, his time with the WWE, and his early time with NXT. He discusses his time on the independent scene, what working in Lucha Underground has provided him the opportunity to do, and what he has gained from that opportunity. We present to you episode 42 of the Pro Wrestling Post Podcast with Matt Striker.

Striker shares on about his respect for those that came before him. He also shares his commitment to its history as much as its present and future. During our chat, Striker conveys his opportunity to work alongside Jim Ross and how the legendary commentator had no problem handing over the reigns to the knowledgable commentator. Their chance to work alongside one another as part of a show for New Japan Pro Wrestling was career-defining. One of the most exciting points, Striker makes is that fans are encouraged to get lost down wrestling watchings venerable rabbit hole. Whether it is watching Billy Robinson or William Regal open your wrestling watching horizons.

With a mindset like this, it is hard to argue with him. A former teacher himself, Striker knows all too well the importance of educating yourself in your field.

Pro Wrestling Post Podcast Presents Episode 41 with Faye Jackson

This week's edition of the Pro Wrestling Post Podcast is with Faye Jackson. Episode 41 with Faye Jackson originally took place prior to The Collective taking place. With plans of a series of events taking place, the Plus Size Pam Grier shared her plans for Faye Jackson's Grey Sweatpants Battle Royal. Despite the event, not taking place that wasn't to say that her vision for the event can't or won't still take place. There was a great deal of commitment leading into the event from those booked to perform. Her show certainly has a certain age demographic in mind.

Faye doesn't pull any punches and her relaxed demeanor was evident during the chat. During our interview, she is open about a number of topics and plays along with what her ideal 18+ age wrestling show will consist of. Jackson shares her background and early training and how she came to be where she is today. This past year she was on a quest...a quest to get CANCELLED. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen. If Faye has her way it'll likely happen sooner rather than later.

With the emergence of Shane Taylor Promotions and prominent championship opportunities within the company. We discussed several topics but our discussion over racism in wrestling and the need for widespread change became prominent. Taylor's thoughts were quite pertinent in advocating for change. A change that isn't just in the industry but one that is reflective of society today.

While aware of his accomplishments, Shane Taylor is not willing to rest on his laurels. Taylor continues to do exactly what he sets out to do. Several times Taylor will refer to shattering the glass ceiling. A ceiling that while some believed has cracks in it has barely scratched the surface on what should be done. During our interview, Taylor discusses the impact Jay Lethal has made in Ring of Honor. Taylor also shares that he too is primed to be the flagbearer as the champion in the foreseeable future.

In this 2019 interview, we sat down with 'Retrosexual' Anthony Greene and Josh Briggs to discuss an array of different topics. This was our first time meeting after conducting individual interviews with both of them a couple of years ago. Their careers have undergone such dramatic changes and all for the better. In the case of Greene gone are the days of his being 'All Good' and in its place is a persona that is all great with the Retrosexual.

After their participation in the second annual Smash Wrestling The Northern tournament, Greene, and Briggs discussed the changes they have both experienced. Both Greene and Briggs are active members of the EVOLVE roster. This is coupled with them continuing to forge a trail for themselves all over North America. For Green and Briggs, this was before both men would face each other at EVOLVE's Anniversary event on the WWE network.

We discussed the belief and mindset of wrestling purists and how those aren't necessarily reflected by everyone today. Both men speak both highly AEW's Sonny Kiss and how recent criticism he faced by one individual. Kiss' toughness became a talking point as both Greene and Briggs supported him as a competitor and a friend. Anthony Greene and Josh Briggs remain calm and cool on this night. of competition as part of Smash Wrestling's The Northern tournament.

Pro Wrestling Post Presents Episode #34 with Lance Hoyt

Pro Wrestling Post Presents Episode #34 with Lance Hoyt

In this 2015 interview, Lance Hoyt explains details of his wrestling past and present. Before he was the IWGP United States Champion, Hoyt shared his time alongside tag team partner Davey Boy Smith Jr as part of the Killer Elite Squad. Hoyt has competed with several promotions. Throughout his career, he has reinvented himself and embraced changes along the way. The nineteen-year veteran Hoyt has competed for Ring of Honor, TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, WWE and NJPW. This well-traveled veteran hasn't sat complacent, but rather looked for new and different opportunities to grow as a performer and a competitor.

Throughout Hoyt's career, he has been a part of some memorable tag teams and stables. For example, during his time in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, fans may recall Hoyt was one half of the Rock n Rave Infection alongside Jimmy Rave and managed by Christy Hemme over the span of two years. After his time in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling came to an end, Hoyt teamed with Curt Hawkins during his time in the WWE and FCW. At the time he was competing under the name Vance Archer. Hoyt is a member of Minoru Suzuki's Suzuki-gun as part of New Japan Pro Wrestling.

While Lance Hoyt has had a fair amount of tag team success, he has flourished as a singles wrestler. His recent IWGP United States Championship is just another example of this.

Pro Wrestling Post Podcast Presents Episode #32 with Christopher Daniels

Pro Wrestling Post Podcast Presents Episode #32 with Christopher Daniels

As a veteran of twenty-six years, Christopher Daniels has virtually seen and done it all. From his early runs in TNA battling for the X-division championship to his longstanding rivalries with AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, not enough can be said about a man with as much skill as he has personality. Once called 'the Fallen Angel', Daniels has transitioned from successful singles wrestler to successful tag team wrestler.

Once a part of the duo known as Bad Company and later as The Addiction in Ring of Honor, Daniels was quite successful. With Frankie Kazarian by his side, the duo has made beautiful music together in the ring. During our interview, we discuss all things, Christopher Daniels. Whether it was his time in TNA to his time in Ring of Honor to his world championship win, Daniels remains equally calm and collected as anyone in wrestling today. He is a grand slam winner in Ring of Honor including being one-half of the inaugural tag team champions in 2002.

As a member of SoCal Uncensored with his longtime partner Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky, the trio is set. Whether it is in All Elite Wrestling or various independent promotions, SCU is showing its relevance. One of the keys to Daniels success has been his concerted effort to remain relevant regardless of the audience and whoever is by his side.

One, because Vince himself was behind the Elijah Burke movement at the time. I had no idea that any of that was about to transpire with me and the ECW originals, and being called the new face of extreme, or however, it was put at the time. It did so much for me because I have the boss deeming me the new face of ECW.
