Oh, Wrestling Podcast!

The new ESPN, WWE deal brings a vast majority of the WWE PLEs to a new streaming platform costing $30 a month. The storylines aren’t hitting like they once were, the tag divisions on both main brands are suffering, and the general look and feel of the product feels extremely corporate. Looks like it is time to watch much less WWE.

The New Day dropped the tag titles to Judgement Day, officially wasting all the good heat and momentum post the very shcoking Big E event in Dember. Now one of the few remaining tag teams on Raw is back to square one with no clear direction while the aging Judgement Day takes the reigns of the show once more. Can anyone explain to me what the point of this New Day run was? How about the War Raiders before them? The original Judgement Day run? How about R-Truth and Miz? These tag titles are being mistreated in a way that begs the question, why did they introduce these titles to begin with?

When TKO purchased WWE, we knew more ads were coming. But this is ridiculous. Soon there will be ads on gear, and that’s a step too far.

Every year I complain about the Money In The Bank gimmick. This year is no different. I will continue to whine and moan until it makes sense.

The May 26th Episode of Monday Night Raw saw Seth Rollins call out the crowd for its hypocrisy. They chant along with his song, then turn around and boo/hurl insults and profanity at him. This is a common problem with Raw and Smackdown crowd. Using the outdated and frankly annoying “WHAT” chant while babyfaces are talking, while cheering obvious heels as they try to get heat. Fan’s are 100% a part of the show, but they are going into business for themselves these days.

Royal Rumble 2025 is in the books and it was a good one. Let’s go over winners, losers, surprises, and letdowns.

As Royal Rumble 2025 approaches, Wrestlemania season looms near. I don’t know about you, but this years Mania card is hard to predict.

It’s Royal Rumble season and my yearly gripe returns. How, exactly, does one get into the Rumble? Some ask management, others just show up?

Raw on Netflix debuts Penta! The worst kept secret in professional wrestling. And he does work.

The Oh, Wrestling podcast returns with thoughts on the Raw on Netflix debut. The Rock confused us, Hogan was booed, and Cena was seen.

An extra episode for you! Let’s talk Street Profits and their title shot tonight on Friday Night Smackdown. Do you think it will go their way? Odds are not in their favor.

Baron Corbin was let go from WWE after returning briefly to the main roster. Where did it go wrong for the man who retired Kurt Angle?

Witht he announcement of the new Women’s title, the question on everyone’s mind is, who will be crowned the innagrual Women’s U.S. Champion?

Tiffany Stratton fails to cash in her Money In The Bank contract AGAIN. This briefcase gimmick has all kinds of holes in it.

Today’s ep is a brief, rambling recap of Bad Blood and the new 2 hour Monday Night Raw from the past week.

Xavier Woods aka Austin Creed is in the midst of a heel turn, and a breakout role on WWE Raw. It’s about damn time if you ask me. This episode is an ode to the UP UP DOWN DOWN leader, the New Day mastermind, and the nerd who is living his dreams with WWE. Time to strap the singles rocket to the man known as Xavier Woods.

Let’s talk about NXT on CW and the various small and large changes to titles, production, and branding to WWE recently.

Holy hell! Jey Uso wins the Intercontinental championship! Who would have guessed? Not me, that’s for sure. It’s time for us all to yeet our previous expectations and embrace the age of Uso. For however long he holds the gold. Is Xavier Woods waiting in the wings to reignite their former rivalry?

Miro a.k.a Rusev is apparently requesting his release from AEW. That bit of news got me thinking. What wrestler would you build a promotion around? Pick a wrestler on any roster to be your fledgeling wrestling promotions very own Stone Cold Steve Austin.

The New Day took another step towards a physical confrontation last night on Monday Night Raw. Is this the end of the former trio?

What happened on WWE Smackdown and Raw? Some folks lost, the expected people won, and I wonder what’s next for a few factions.

Xia Li (now Xia Zhao) is headed to TNA. This move prompted me to celebrate the wrestler’s network and their ability to find work.

Joe Tessitore made his Monday Night Raw debut, and it was not half bad. How did you like his commentary? Let me know in the comments.

With Unholy Union dropping the titles, let’s ask What’s Next for the tag team, along with other superstars in WWE.

The Women of WWE need their own IC and US titles. Why? Because championships build stories and this roster needs some quick.

Now that his debut is behind us, what’s next for the Wyatt Sicks and Uncle Howdy? How does this spooky group of farm animals establish wrestling goals? I am by no means giving up on the gimmick. I would like to know how it sustains itself without a crop of mean leaders to pester.

What are your favorite Wrestling Faction Names? WWE’s faction names these days are not great. Just ask the Pure Fusion Collective.

With TNA star Joe Hendry dominating NXT, it begs the question. What is TNA getting out of this WWE Partnership?

Today, I ask the age old question. What makes your favorite wrestler so damn special? What “it” factor do they possess that puts them over other athletes? With the likes of Rhea Ripley and GUNTHER walking around, it becomes hard to quantify, but easy to see. Let’s talk all about it.

We have WWE Summerslam 2024 Results for yea. Along with the Oh, Wrestling Podcast’s reactions to this year’s summer wrestling party!

The Smackdown before WWE Summerslam 2024 falls flat. Despite a Tag Team Title change, the show underdelivers.

Here is a hot take for you wrestling fans. Logan Paul is one of the best US Champs and should go over LA Knight at SummerSlam.

WWE Wrestling Themes are bad now. The era of Jim Johnston themes is legendary, leaving this current crop severely lacking in personality.

With rumors swirling of a Hurt Business reunion in AEW coming soon, I explore alternatives for the legacy wrestling faction. Like and subscribe to the YouTube channel. Tell a friend and leave a comment. Yes, that’s a lot to ask, but we are friends, right?

Hot Take. Smackdown needs another hour of wrestling. I know. There is already so much wrestling during the week. Hear me out.

Is Drew McIntyre’s Money In The Bank Cash-In the best yet? I think so. Here’s why…

Holy crap! TNA Champion Jordynne Grace VS NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez at NXT Battleground! THE DOOR IS OPEN!

WWE Backlash 2024 French Fan Chants UNVEILED! I use my terrible French and research to decode the French chants from Backlash 2024.

The WWE Draft 2024 was a bust. Instead of going crazy with their picks, the WWE stayed pretty conservative and left fans wanting.

https://youtu.be/gGiVmby4cyM We have video! The podcast is bigger than ever! The setup is still junk but the quality is at least 20% better. On Today’s 5 Count, there’s a new AEW champ and his name is Swerve. Becky wins big on Monday Night Raw and more!

Time for a CM Punk MMA Hour Reaction. The Best In The World spoke to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour and gave some insight into his AEW exit.

Let’s give Flowers for Drew and Bayley. The Bloodline is dominating the Wrestlemania news, but these two champs deserve some shine.

It’s time for another Monday Night Raw Recap. The Creed Brothers shine, even in defeat to DIY. The Wrestlemania Ladder Match for the Unified Tag Team Titles is shaping up, though the tournament booking is a bit transparent. https://youtu.be/WieL33oAgTU

Who do you want back in WWE? So many talented wrestlers exited the company in the past three years. Who needs to rotate back in?

Let’s discuss all the interesting King Of The Ring Possibilities. By all, I mean the one idea I had this morning.

With Wrestlemania mere weeks away, let’s talk about the Raw After Wrestlemania. It’s potentially bigger than the biggest event in wrestling.
