Real Graps

The first episode Post-WWE, this week we discuss AEW's Collision and Dynamite, and in the new segments we cover Stardom All Star Grand Queendom 26, and that week's Lucha Libre AAA.

Wrestlemania has come and gone, and that means that as per what i said on earlier graps, the WWE coverage of Real Graps has ended. WWE very clearly does not want to make an actual, watchable wrestling show. So we're going to take our business elsewhere, to AEW and beyond, I guess.

On the penultimate WWE-included episode of real graps, we tackle the penultimate smackdown, the go home RAW, NXT Revenge week 1 and the biggest AEW angle in its history on Dynamite.

The clock is ticking on WWE. Genuinely, i believe that after wrestlemania we wont have any interest in doing WWE reviews anymore, between Carmelo losing the US title, The impending return of Roman Reigns psychosis, a world where Jade Cargill pins Rhea Ripley at Wrestlemania in anyway, and a Pat Mcafee flanked WWE Champion Randy Orton. meanwhile in NJPW we've got a new champion, and AEW has one of the most ridiculous go home shows. oh and i guess NXT is trying to find its legs coming out of Stand and Deliver.

Part 2 of the "Buy One, Get One" Real Graps two parter. We hop into the AEW/WWE arms race and its affects on modern wrestling, Why Rhea Ripley shouldnt feel bad about "sabotaging" her own wrestlemania match, The suicide dive topic thats blazing the internet, NXT's mind boggling go-home show, and the curious case of how smackdown should be viewed from a storyline POV

Part 1 of a "Buy One, Get One" Real Graps Special. This week we continue to dredge through the weekly slog of WWE's Road to Wrestlemania, and subsequent Road to Stand and Deliver. Meanwhile over in AEW the world title picture is starting to heat up, and we continue to discuss the obsession with Darby Allin..

AEW Revolution 2026 came and went and what a fantastic show it was. The fallout? a lot to be desired at the current moment. Over in WWE theyre continuing to destroy any and all good will they even had. In the news corner, Tux gets real with the Ricochet Incident.

The final NXT event of the Peacock era and the last one before Stand and Deliver, was very much a "lets just get this over with" NXT PPV. Smackdown has one of the most harrowing show formats ive ever seen, between Jade Cargill, Sami Zayn, and Solo Sikoa. Once again its another week of AEW just doing better by being a normal wrestling company...now only if they could pick up the slack on the women's division.

With the Chamber in the rear view, we begin the final trek towards probably the most horridly built wrestlemania in franchise history. theres a lack of focus up and down the card even with the title matches that were setup. meanwhile in AEW theyre doing a fantastic job at building new stars and delivering a smorgasbord of wrestling content. Its not glaze, its just the truth.

Its AJ Styles Appreciation Night on RAW, along with multiple other chamber qualifiers and more in the Sami Zayn chronicles. over on AEW we tackle the fallout from Strickland and Omega and Mile High Madness

Im sorry between blizzards and what not ive completely neglected this episode and i dont even remember what we talked about. i will be better next week

Collision is once again the best show on TV, while smackdown and NXT fight at the bottom to see whos the worst. An awesome CM Punk promo, and a great Dynamite top to bottom leading to Grand Slam Australia

The Saudi Rumble is behind us, and we dive into that show, the smackdown before, the fallout RAW, the NXT ladder match, and multiple issues surrounding AEW's booking. We also dive into the news section of Ricochet vs WWE and the Hangman Page "situation".

The Royal Rumble is on the horizon and allegedly so is the retirement of the phenomenal AJ Styles. Saturday Night's Main Event, the Go Home RAW and Dynamite are on the schedule for today. We also discuss the South Korean "worst" wrestling awards and some more!

TNA is somehow back on syndicated network television, we dive into the oddity of their first episode, over on smackdown its drew's first night as champion and theyre lining up things for the future horizon of the brand, RAW has a heated title match between the prinxe and the punk, NXT certainly happened this week, And as always collision and dynamite are great shows with lots of good wrestling.

We are officially in our second week of 3 Hour Smackdowns, and this week was a doozy. In the Main Event the WWE Championship was on the line in a 3 Stages of Hell match. Over on RAW the European Tour heats up with some blockbuster matches for next week, NXT is struggling, and AEW has a World Title Match in its main event.

Another Retirement down, and done as perfectly as it could be. Hiroshi Tanahashi has retired from professional wrestling after 26 years. we discuss his match with Okada, The IWGP Heavyweight title match, The first 3 hour smackdown of 2026, what the hell is going on wiht NXT, and the curious case of how AEW should do better when setting up one off title matches.

We made it back from the World's End, and into the new year! we talk at length about what WWE needs to do going forward into 2026, The Continental Classic, Oba Femi vs Bron Breakker, how Seth Rollins has ruined the last couple of months of WWE TV and the thriller at the end of this week's Dynamite.

Its CHRISTMAS!(or it was when we recorded this) WWE has absolutely nothing to offer but for you to watch the Netflix anniversary show. over in AEW the Continental Classic hits a fever pitch with two action packed shows in this weeks Dynamite and Collision, and Tux absolutely loses his mind as we mull over the World's End card

This week we say goodbye to The Never Seen 17, WWE's Greatest Of All Time, John Cena. as well as dealing with NXT, and more Continental Classic goodness over in AEW.

John Cena is retiring soon, on this week we discuss the penultimate smackdown, ROH final battle, more continental classic goodness between collision and dynamite, a RAW with an interesting ending, GUNTHER criticism, LA Knight, and John Cena potentially opening Saturday Night's Main Event

This past weekend was the survivor series, we cover not only the go home smackdown, but the best wrestling on tv show collision, Monday Night RAW, the go home NXT for Deadline, and more continental classic goodness on Dynamite featuring Jon Moxley vs Claudio Castagnoli in the main event.

Across both companies, across all shows, there are multiple issues that arent being addressed because nobody cares enough.

NXT's on a Gold Rush, smackdown is somehow getting worse, raw ends with a survivor series update, and ive absolutely had it with the state of AEW's booking and Tony Khans incessant need to ignore over half his roster for 6 people

AEW Presents Blood and Guts is the big deal for this week, also the john cena retirement tournament kicks off, and the oddest NXT show anyone has ever seen.

Saturday Nights Main Event, as well as our weeklies. and a riveting news corner. we also discuss the mayu iwatani/iyo sky match from marigold.

ITS HALLOWEEN! actually, as we tackle the past Halloween Havoc, the penultimate Smackdown, and the Go-Home RAW before Saturday Night's Main Event. on NXT we see what exactly the fallout is from halloween havoc, and over in AEW things just continue to get stranger and stranger.

This week we dive into more andrade contract nonsense, another look into the jazmyn nyx news. AEW's WrestleDream this past weekend, a disgustingly tilting episode of Smackdown, RAW, Dynamite, and the go-home NXT show before Halloween Havoc.

This week is all about the down under. Crown Jewel Perth, and the go home smackdown as well as the RAW after. We then stop down at NXT post TNA Bound for Glory, and The Go-Home Dynamite before WrestleDream

Its TNA, its NXT, its a showdown! and over on RAW theyre having another generational disaster go home show, AEW is building towards wrestledream, and darby allin once again is a questionable individual

Night 2. NXT is honestly one of the worst shows on television, the only thing stopping them is the fact that TNA exists. we dive into the NXT PPV, the fallout, and the future. Over in AEW tony khan's got a big announcement, as well as the "debut?" of a new team, much to my horror.

Night 1 of another between two graps special where we split the week in half. on the eve of no mercy we had "last week"s dynamite, collision, smackdown and the CMLL Pokemon Legends Special.

because tux has prior engagements, this episode was recorded before/during the 9/24 episode of dynamite which is why it isnt discussed on here, but from what we learned during the show it wasnt much of a fall out show. we'll discuss it on the next slate of shows. but this episode details the fall out RAW and the go home NXT before No Mercy, as odd of a go-home episode as it could possibly be.

The weekend has come and gone, it was the hbo max era of aew ppvs vs the espn era of wwe ppvs, how did each show stack up and how did the go home smackdown sweeten the deal for wwe?

On this week's issue we discuss the various go home shows from both companies

On the road to All Out and Wrestlepalooza weekend, we tackle the penultimate RAW/Dynamite/Collision as well as various news snippets from the week.

This week we got Clash in Paris, it was certainly a show. WWE and AEW are barreling towards a heavyweight matchup on the 20th. We have a AAA show next week and only one match signed for it, does WWE even care? find out all that and more in this weeks episode of Real Graps

Forbidden Door and Heatwave have passed and coming out of them is some big news, the top of AEW's Mens Division has changed drastically and dynamite doesnt exactly tell us what to look forward to, on the main roster WWE side of things we discuss the penultimate and go-home smackdown and raw respectively.

On the eve of forbidden door, AEW has chosen to have one of the more odder, if that even is a word, go home shows, chock full of last minute changes and story wrinkles nobody, not even faithfuls have asked for, meanwhile WWE is gearing up for its overseas tour, with even more questionable build than AEW.

Im not gonna lie, i dont even know how this went so long, but dont worry, starting next week we've got a brand new format that we're going to stick to, we promise. as for the show content, its the same ol slop with a good dynamite at the end.

Doubled up on Real Graps goodness, we take on this weeks Collision, RAW, NXT, and Dynamite. over in WWE the brock lesnar cloud is hovering over and paul heyman is causing more trouble off tv, whereas in AEW we have a new face of TNT, an incredible stokely promo, and more MJF lore.

The hottest party of the summer, had some beach bums, some beach babes, and a horrible ending capping off a fantastic finale. we discuss both night 1 and 2 as well as the go-home smackdown. Tux also gives us another death update

We're a couple of nights away from the two night SummerSlam extravaganza, and on the way we stop over to witness the shenanigans of the penultimate Smackdown, the go home RAW, whatevers happening on NXT and a very odd Dynamite show.

Kinda late due to lots of editing having to be done, thank you for your patience as always. This week we get into the Tribal Chief interacting with Heymans new group in the build to SummerSlam, Jevon Evans tries to find whats next over on NXT, and in AEW the stage is set for a massive rematch.

We missed last week due to tux being out of town so this is night one of a buy one get one real graps. All In weekend passed, and we discuss the high and absolute rock bottoms of the weekend in All In, Evolution, Saturday Nights Main Event, and NXT Great American Bash

Early show this week due to scheduling conflicts with Tux's schedule, so this episode wont contain the dynamite review, but as we head towards a monster weekend chock full with hours of wrestling we get the RAW and NXT go home shows for Great American Bash/Evolution/Saturday Nights Main Event. Also we discuss the Zilla Fatu and Karrion Kross issues.

The madman Tony Khan gave us Kota Ibushi and Kazuchika Okada on free TV on the road to All In, and gave us a deeper glimpse into the psyche of this Hangman Page/Jon Moxley story. Over on the WWE side of things we discuss the Saudi show and the fallout

The finals of the King and Queen of the Rings are set, The John Cena/CM Punk feud takes a horrible turn, In AEW land we're barreling towards All In, off the back of a tremendous Grand Slam Mexico and the return of Kota Ibushi

On the road to Night of Champions and Saturday Night's Main Event, we have some new developments, and even the return of Goldberg. Meanwhile on the AEW side we dive into the mess that was Grand Slam Arena Mexico

WWE Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank were the double features this weekend, along with AEW running another 4 hour programming block, we also talk about the magic of jon moxley and how AEW's in universe story telling is baffling
