Our hosts discussed recent WWE departures like Kevin Dunn resigning, as well as AEW's Continental Classic tournament which they praised for its storytelling. Injuries leading up to AEW's last pay-per-view forced abrupt changes. They talked about ideas for more sports-based pro wrestling programming like tournaments, and how media coverage and notions of success in wrestling have evolved with the times. Reminiscing about classic wrestling video games segued into a discussion of Pittsburgh's current wrestling scene, which they predicted is entering its best era since the days of Norm Conners, citing hot indie promotions like 880 Wrestling. Upcoming local indie shows some hosts plan to attend rounded out the wrestling-centered discussion.
