With John Cena announcing his retirement tour, who will he put over in his final run? Why did Jeff stop watching AEW; could this be a reason ratings have been heavily declining in the past few months? All this plus, Mariah May turns on Toni Storm; Jon Moxley loses in real life jiu jitsu, Stephanie Vaquer debuts for WWE; a rant on Joe Hendry; and Jeff and Steve catch up on where they've been and the future of the podcast.

All proceeds will go to needed alterations to the family home, medical equipment, bills, etc. In this interview, we talk about the special wrestling show, the tag team's challengers (The Savages), and what the event means to the team, the NWA and the community. "HP Cares for Cooper" events are scheduled for the weekend of July 8-9, 2023. Tickets are free for the 8th and only $24.95 for the NWA Powerrr tapings on the 9th.
