Bound for Glory Match Card
The InVasion was such a big deal when I was a kid and now the NXTNA partnership is harkening back to it. How did it play out? What was it like? The show today is all about the lead up to the famed PPV.
With the 2300 Arena residency in the books, I thought it'd be fun to look at the most famous arenas in wrestling. From the big stadiums to the armories housing independents, the venue, the fans, and the city can make or break a show.
Well, it's arrived. The weekend that a lot of us fans have been waiting for and looking forward to. The WWE is bring us Wrestlepalooza to counterprogram AEW who on their part is bringing us All Out. It'll be very interesting to see how things shake out.

All Out Match Card
Well, it's going to happen. Last week the WWE made the obvious and inevitable announcement that Wrestlemania 43 will be taking place in Saudi Arabia. Needless to say that the news is disheartening. Today's show is all about the history of the WWE and Saudi deal, the controversies, and everything in between.
With the return of the "Crazy is my Superpower" Diva, AJ Lee, finally happening, I thought it'd be time to look at the Totals Divas era of women's wrestling in the WWE. She was the antithesis of it so we're looking at the highs and lows of everything in between.
The WWE is bringing their now annual European shows and this time they're in Paris. Suprisingly we're getting more than five matches [six] and the card looks fine. The Parisian crowd will definitely elevate this show to something it shouldn't be but that's what makes wrestling wrestling. Let's do it.
Match Card
Forbidden is back again. The annual AEW x NJPW crossover event has become a fun tradition showcasing the best of both companies. Yes, this year is light on the NJPW talent but the G1 and 5Star Grand Prix were going so it's understandable. You know how we do with these shows so let's get into it.
Match Card
On more than one occasion there comes a time when the fans get behind someone or something. When that happens, it's time to pivot. Pull the trigger. Don't deny the people what they want. That's what today's show is all about. The failures and successes of when to pull that trigger.
The WWE are no strangers to controversy and they're welcoming it. Courting it. With the expulsion of Vince to the return of the Beast, nothing is off limits. That's what we're talking about today. When is enough enough?
Hot Wrestlemania is here and this time it's two nights. The show comes three weeks after a weekend of major shows so the build has been a little lackluster. There are some matches that have a little bit of heat to them so let's get into it.
Match Card
This is her brutality! Rhea Ripley is a star and on top of the wrestling world. Also, she's back in back in another World Championship match but do we have a problem? This question has to be asked. From Alexa to Charlotte to Bianca, Rhea has entered the realm of constant challenger for the championship. Is it a problem?
Do you know what today is? It's TNA's anniversary and they're bringing you one of their "BIG 4" PPVs in Slammiversary and it's going to be PHENOMENAL!!! There's good matches and stories up and down the card featuring both TNA and NXT talent. You know how we do with these shows so let's get into it.
Match Card
AEW is bringing us their biggest show of the year and with some healthy competition as well. The card is stacked from top to bottom and with fairly big ramifications on board. You know how we do with these shows so let's get into it.
Match Card
The women of NXT have long been the bright spot of NXT and the top of the promotion. Starting with the Four Horsewomen, they've carried the brand and with their loss to the main roster, there had to be a new grouping of women to step forward. There were four more but now they're gone. What's next? Who's next?
King of the R...I mean Night of Champions is here with its two title matches with one of them being highly anticipated. We also have the King and Queen of the Ring finals with the winners once again getting world championship matches at Summerslam. We're back in the kingdom of blood money with another show. Let's do it.
Match Card
With the purchase of AAA, the rumors have started swirling about WWE's attempt at global expansion. It's inevitable. I'm saying it here. That's what we're going to be talking about today. Going all the back to when they started buying territories to their future partnerships, today's show is going to be a journey.
