The Wrestling Rewind #212 🎙️ : Chamber Chaos: Jericho Fallout, Punk vs Finn & The 2002 Classic

📅 Air Date: 24-02-26 Broadcasting on Phoenix 92.5 FM, this week’s radio edition of The Wrestling Rewind balances present day chaos with a trip back to one of WWE’s most important matches ever. We open with the latest contract drama surrounding Chris Jericho and why his frozen deal leaves both AEW and WWE looking petty. From there, we dive into the build toward Elimination Chamber 2026. Cody Rhodes possibly forcing his way back into the title picture. LA Knight still fighting for the push he deserves. Questions about what is actually inside the mysterious “Do Not Open” box. And whether WWE are scrambling as WrestleMania ticket prices get slashed. We break down AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch in Chicago, debate who wins the men’s and women’s Chamber matches, and ask the big question. If Finn Balor brings back The Demon, does he have to win? Then we fire up the time machine and revisit Survivor Series 2002 and the very first Elimination Chamber match. Triple H bloodied. Shawn Michaels reborn. A stacked Hall of Fame lineup. And a reminder of how WWE reinvented a struggling Survivor Series with one brutal structure. Old school analysis meets modern wrestling debate. No nostalgia goggles. No blind loyalty. 🎧 The only wrestling podcast by fans who do not hate wrestling. ▶️ YouTube Chapters Short and Punchy 00:00 Phoenix FM Intro 01:00 Birthday Banter 02:00 Jericho Contract Drama 06:30 Petty or Business 09:30 TNA’s Guitar Case Casket Match 14:00 WrestleMania Ticket Panic 17:40 What’s In The Box 20:30 Men’s Chamber Predictions 25:40 Women’s Chamber Debate 29:00 AJ vs Becky in Chicago 32:40 Punk vs Finn Breakdown 36:20 Does The Demon Return 40:00 Time Machine to 2002 42:30 Survivor Series Struggles 45:00 SmackDown Six Era 48:00 First Elimination Chamber 52:30 HBK’s Comeback Moment 54:30 Why It Still Matters 55:40 Final Thoughts and Plugs 🎧 Spotify Formatted Timestamps 00:00 Phoenix FM opening and show intro 01:00 Christopher’s birthday and opening chat 02:00 Chris Jericho contract freeze discussion 06:30 AEW vs WWE optics 09:30 TNA’s guitar case casket match reaction 14:00 WrestleMania ticket price cuts 17:40 The mystery box speculation 20:30 Men’s Elimination Chamber preview 25:40 Women’s Elimination Chamber preview 29:00 AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch expectations 32:40 CM Punk vs Finn Balor discussion 36:20 Demon Balor speculation 40:00 Survivor Series 2002 context 42:30 State of WWE in 2002 45:00 The SmackDown Six era 48:00 First Elimination Chamber breakdown 52:30 Shawn Michaels title win 54:30 Legacy of the match 55:40 Final plugs and sign off 🌐 Connect With Us 🎙️ Christopher’s Podcast The Josh Zodiac Podcast YouTube: youtube.com/@THEJoshZodiacPodcast TikTok: tiktok.com/@thejoshzodiacpodcast X: x.com/joshzodiacpod 🎙️ Darragh on X @darraghwv 🌍 Visit our website nerdtoknowmedia.com #TheWrestlingRewind #WrestlingPodcast #WWE #EliminationChamber #SurvivorSeries2002 #HBK #CMPunk #FinnBalor #Jericho #RoadToWrestleMania #WrestlingHistory #PhoenixFM
