This week on the show, we look back at an interesting week in wrestling.
With SummerSlam less than two weeks away, the card is taking shape, but some big names aren't on it yet.
Has Billy Gunn called it a career?
Was the most recent "Blood & Guts" offering from AEW the best one yet, or are fans needing something else?
Join Mike McGuire and The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer as they walk through some of those topics, as well as:
- The recent Dark Side of the Ring featuring Adrian Adonis
- Dave's response to WWE's Seth "Freakin'" Rollins calling Dave's ratings, "silly"
- The upcoming Pay-Per-View cards for WWE and AEW
- Mike tries to define the weekly wrestling shows in North America
and more!
Also, while it recently posted in the MoW Podcast Feed for free a couple weeks back, given that she was just one of two women to be the first to Main Event a Ring of Honor Pay Per View, an instant replay of Mike's chat with ROH Women's Champion, ATHENA, is also tagged onto this week's episode.
Plus, next week, you'll meet the hosts of the newest program coming to the MoW Podcast feed!
Thank you for subscribing and supporting the show.
