AEW Collision 7/8/23: CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe, WWE SmackDown 7/7/23, WWF Raw 7/11/94 Recap/Review
We have plenty to discuss on today's show. AEW Collision delivered two very stellar TV matches this weekend; things are looking up for that show right now. Meanwhile, SmackDown was totally dominated by the Bloodline in a major story angle. And Retro Raw had a very memorable Bret Hart/1-2-3 Kid match for the WWF Championship. Lots to talk about!

AEW Dynamite 7/5/23: Gym Bros, NWA WCW 7/4/87, WCCW 7/7/84 Recap/Review/Results
AEW Dynamite featured the latest installment of Adam Cole and MJF's buddy-buddy relationship. Spoiler, it's dumb. Meanwhile the rest of the show happened, and it was no better. Meanwhile, Crockett TV had a fun program ahead of the Wargames Match in the Omni. And World Class is desperately trying to get new talent over in 1984.

WWE Money in the Bank 2023, AEW Collision 7/1/23, WWF Raw 7/4/94 Recap/Review/Results
It's another busy weekend of wrestling talk on the channel. WWE hosted it's Money in the Bank special from London, and there were definitely some surprises. In addition, AEW Collision was actually a pretty good show this week. It looked like a return to normalcy with presenting everything as the "professional wrestling show." Also, Retro Raw was a July 4 special in 1994. Did that mean it was a good show? No, not all. It still sucked.

Sorry about the delay in upload time. I was out of town this week and didn't get a chance to record this until Saturday. AEW Dynamite was abysmal, and my father agrees. The Retro Review Series continues as well with more 1987 Great American Bash hype. And World Class sees the further development of Gino Hernandez.

AEW Dynamite 6/21/23: From the Penthouse to the Outhouse, NWA WCW 6/20/87, WCCW 6/23/84 Recap/Review
The whacky world of pro wrestling continues onward. AEW was back to the status quo with Dynamite this week. Forbidden Door is taking place this weekend, and my excitement level couldn't be any weaker. Meanwhile, Crockett Promotions is gearing up for the 1987 Bash Tour with more Wargames hype. And World Class sees the return of the Penalty Box Match.

Super packed Monday show this week! AEW Collision's pilot episode aired over the weekend, CM Punk returned with a vengeance, and the show brought some newfound hope to disgruntled fans. WWE SmackDown also saw the turn of the Usos on the Bloodline, and the downfall of Retro Raw from 1994 continues.

AEW Dynamite continued its regular dog and pony show, while AEW Collision is only a couple days out. The question, however, is how does Collision fare in the long-term even with the association of CM Punk? Is it too little, too late? The Retro Review Series continues this week with a shorter episode of Crockett TV, as well as a pretty substandard episode of World Class.

WWE SmackDown 6/9/23: TOO MUCH GIRLS WRESTLING! & WWF King of the Ring 1994 Recap/Review/Results
Well, I believe the SmackDown title exposes what I thought of the show as a whole. The Bloodline story also continued with Jey Uso at the forefront of the discussion. In addition, we are also proceeding forward with the WWF King of the Ring 1994 PPV recap. We were initially planning on holding off until next week with this review, but considering how much content there will be for next weekend (and the fact that there was no Retro Raw this week in 1994), it only makes sense that we do the KOTR review a week early.

AEW Dynamite had a very interesting face off with MJF and Adam Cole. Aside from that and the announcement for Collision's main event next week, I did not have much input on the program as a whole. The retro review series continues with more hype for the 87 Bash Tour. Also World Class continues its development of Stella May French.

WWE SmackDown 6/2/23: Asuka and Iyo Sky FTW! & WWF Raw 6/6/94 Recap/Review/Results
This weekend was quite the treasure. An expected run-of-the-mill weekend of WWE SmackDown consisted of one of the greatest moments of 2023, thanks to (of all people) THE WOMEN! Asuka and Iyo Sky, in particular, stole the show this past Friday night. Also, Roman Reigns celebrates his 1000th Day Universal Title reign. And Retro Raw features a moderately bland lumberjack match, a terrible King's Court Segment, and Scott Hall destroying a young Jeff Hardy.

It was back to the usual with our Friday podcast, which meant it was back to normal with the Dynamite program. Double or Nothing was swept under the rug entirely, and now it's all hands on deck as we count down the days to AEW Collision (and Forbidden Door). Also, the classic content continues this week with two mildly underwhelming episodes of Crockett TV and World Class.

Dynamite's go home show to the Double or Nothing PPV was more of a "nothing burger" than anything. I forgot it was even a go home show until the minute we began discussing the actual program. Meanwhile, the classic reviews continue with more crazy Four Horsemen material and a new breath of life coming into the Dallas region for World Class.

WWE SmackDown 5/19/23: A Very "Mid" Performance & WWF Raw 5/23/94 Recap/Review/Results
The trend of modern WWE television continues where you're left wondering whether or not you'd have been better off cleaning up dog turds in the backyard after you watch it. SmackDown was beyond terrible on every level, and not even so much in the way of the matches. The segment material was just bland and dull. Meanwhile, Retro Raw was just another unmemorable hour of boring television in 1994. At least that show still had some star power occasionally.

In the way of news, AEW had a big announcement this week regarding the future of their television program. The Dynamite show was more or less "mid." But with Double or Nothing rapidly approaching, is "mid" level TV good enough? Meanwhile, Crockett TV had a shorter hour long episode this week with the finals of the US Tag Tournament. And World Class airs its second week of the Parade of Champions event from Texas Stadium.

AEW Dynamite this week featured one of the most hysterical main event fiascos I've seen all year. In addition to nonsensical angles, we also had the most random pointless heel swerve in the last decade. High entertainment value to come out of this week's show, no question. Meanwhile, the Retro Review Series continues. Crockett TV gets ready for the Jim Cornette/Ronnie Garvin Cage Match in Charlotte. And World Class begins its first set of tapings for the David Memorial event at Texas Stadium.

Aside from all the usual AEW problems we've discussed, this show kind of hit home a lot of those points we've been covering. Double or Nothing is in three weeks, and they now officially have ONE match announced for the card! There's still way too much nonsensical stuff going on and the lack of talent depth explains why the numbers are dropping from week to week. That was before I realized how horrible of a rating they did this week. The Retro Review Series continues as well. Crockett Promotions edges closer to the 87 Bash Tour. And World Class prepares for the David Memorial event at Texas Stadium.

All the while, you can still have glimpses of promise seeping through every now and then.
