Solomonster reviews another strong episode of WWE Smackdown with an impromptu match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, an angle to write Jacob Fatu off TV and an idea for a wild twist when he returns, while the US Title Open Challenge brings the return of an injured star and a NEW champion crowned.  Nice to see Road Dogg learning how to use ChatGPT!

Solomonster reviews the final AEW Dynamite before WrestleDream, which was a THREE HOUR SHOW with Collision tacked on at the end.  These three hour blocks need to die in a fire.  The only thing of any great value was an INCREDIBLE cinematic face-to-face with Jon Moxley and Darby Allin that was giving off Batman/Joker interrogation scene vibes.  Whoever produced that needs to do MORE OF THAT.  The rest of this show felt very flat and uninspired.

Just because it's been a slow news week doesn't mean there isn't stuff to talk about, including another epic Mets collapse with a $300 million dollar payroll.  Solomonster previews WWE Crown Jewel with predictions for each of the matches, why the Bloodline still works and the MFTs never will, and a possible Randy Orton heel turn... thoughts on NXT and TNA setting up their teams for their SHOWDOWN this week, a great promo from Mustafa Ali, the latest on a possible TNA TV deal and the effect Nielsen's new ratings measurement system could have on things... Andrade's return to AEW, why he called out Dave Meltzer and why history is already doomed to repeat itself... WrestleKingdom 20 news and it's a plus for New Japan... Braun Strowman wants to be the next JASON VOORHIES... Bad Bunny as the Superbowl halftime performer... how AJ Styles' first year in WWE compares to other great rookie years in the company... and what would a John Cena retirement run look like in AEW?

Reviewing WWE Raw with the return (yes, again) of Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso doesn't seem happy with the influence he seems to be wielding over his brother.  Plus, I dare say something negative about IYO SKY's acting in one segment on this TV show and get attacked for it, so we have some fun with the sickos as well.

After a writer for ESPN gave Wrestlepalooza a "C" grade, some fans lost their minds, and even some within WWE were taken aback by this.  Solomonster explains why this is a GOOD thing and why people like JBL saying the writer should just LIE AND PRETEND IT WAS GOOD is a very bad thing.  Plus, news on the alternate match ending pitched by Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre for their main event... an update on a future John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar match and who Cena's final opponents should be... how Cena's match with AJ Styles came together for Crown Jewel and AJ gives us an update on his future... breaking down the Top 25 rankings for the annual PWI 500 list and how Masha Slamovich's ranking sparked an entire controversy EXPOSING a dark side to her that not many knew about... the upcoming NXT/TNA INVASION, thoughts on Oba Femi losing the NXT championship to Ricky Saints and how to bring Oba up to the main roster... a missed opportunity for the 6 YEAR ANNIVERSARY episode of Dynamite this week... Tony Khan introduces AEW Women's tag team titles... ranking four of the most legendary referees... did Bret Hart introduce the table spot to mainstream pro wrestling... the night Vince McMahon interrupted a match between Rhyno and Tajiri... and the wrestlers who wasted their own potential and blew up their careers!

I've got a LOT to say about the WWE and AEW shows this weekend with thoughts on WRESTLEPALOOZA, including the John Cena/Brock Lesnar match, what War Games could look like at Survivor Series and the first name already announced for the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame.  Then it's a full review for AEW ALL OUT, which I believe was the stronger show of the weekend... how the AEW tag team division has finally been revived... Tony Khan's reaction to the idea of running a major show WrestleMania weekend in 2027... NXT Homecoming thoughts, a possible TNA invasion coming and what's being said about Joe Hendry's future... wrestlers who would make great movie characters... the greatest African-American female wrestler of all time... thoughts on Bret Hart's latest comments about Triple H... and who are the current 4 Pillars of AEW?
