This week I forego looking at Wrestlemania and telling you how good it was to instead look at the forgotten promotions of last week. On the show last week we talked nothing but Wrestlemania, so this week on TFVB I’m going to take a look at Lucha Underground and TNA from last week and let you know what you missed out on.
This week on BWFRadio, we talk about the fallout from WWE Survivor Series, including the arrival of Sting, which the crew is split on as far as how big of a deal it actually was. We discuss the following night on RAW, and our thoughts about the Anonymous RAW General Manager returning next week, despite having been revealed as Hornswoggle a while back. We praise Lucha Underground as a must-see show for wrestling fans.
In the second half, we talk about what everybody is talking about – CM Punk’s appearance on Colt Cabana’s “Art of Wrestling” podcast. We try to be objective as we talk about such topics as Punk’s accusations against WWE’s doctor (including a story from 2010 revolving around last week’s guest Charlie Haas), Triple H’s reputation for not putting talent over, and of course Ryback’s botches in matches and spots with Punk.
Also in the news, Yoshi Tatsu is injured at the hands of AJ Styles, Scott Steiner signs with Global Force Wrestling, Jeff Hardy can work Canada (with some restrictions), and Mike Tenay may no longer be doing commentary when IMPACT returns on Destination America in January. All this and more on BWF Radio!
Because Joe didn’t review RAW, it technically didn’t happen. Impact happened though and despite my better judgement I’m watching it live again. God help me. (more…)
