A very unofficial account of the ongoing whirlwind that's pro wrestling. Lots of opinions on guys named Kenny, Cody, and maybe JJ. New Japan marks. Watching WWE sink into the abyss. Hoping AEW rights the ship.
All roads have led us here to the Granddaddy of them All, Starrcade 1988 in Norfolk, Virginia. I won't lie, this was a very good card but with some STRANGE finishes. Jim and I dissect it for you and get you prepared for the first calendar year in WCW history; 1989.Jim's @thejimdb on Blue Sky and Threads and the show is:Threads: troubleswrestlingpodBlueSky: TroublesWeekly

It's Bischoff Beating Week and boy did AEW stack the deck for Dynamite!

AEW is on the road yet again and this time towards Dynasty with various different stories, Cena has given us a reason, and we figure out the zig zagging road to Mania.BlueSky: troublesweekly.bsky.socialThreads: @troubleswrestlingpod
What a damn Revolution Sunday we had from AEW, I've got all the deets as well as some elusive WWE talk. Mainly however, we're talking Dynamite and what we expect from an unusually mysterious show.BlueSky: troublesweekly.bsky.socialThreads: @troubleswrestlingpod
For both AEW and WWE respectively, all roads lead to the west coast for their next extravaganzas. For AEW it's this Sunday in Los Angeles for Revolution and for WWE it's Las Vegas for the 41st WrestleMania that has gotten very bizarre after Toronto this last weekend.Bluesky: @troublesweekly.bsky.socialThreads: @Troubleswrestlingpod
We're on the road to Revolution and WrestleMania and boy, could they not be any more different. On one side has been fantastic 'rasslin and on the other? Stammering promos that seem like drunken rants. Either way we're glad you're here and thanks for the support!BlueSky: @troublesweekly.bsky.social Threads: @troubleswrestlingpod

Wrestling is getting GOOD and it feels like we will be eating very well in 2025 between the Timeless one, the Yeet master, and the Boys of Ass as well as the rest of the wacky world of wrestling. Threads: @troubleswrestlingpodBlue Sky: @troublesweekly.bsky.social
Wrestling is wild yet again this week with the emergence of The Hounds of Hell, Timeless Toni making her encore appearance, and Ospreay and Omega are starting a clubhouse.Threads: @troubleswrestlingpod BlueSky: troublesweekly.bsky.social
It finally happened....Penta joined the RAW roster and I dive into the happenings surrounding that as well as the latest AEW tea and whatever Ethan Page is doing on NXT.
It's the dawn of a new age for pro 'rasslin and it's a mixed bag to say the least. Some have taken the chance and ran with it, others have stumbled with scissors but it's all good because wrestling is GREAT right now.Threads: https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpodBlue Sky: @troublesweekly.bsky.social
I've been wanting to dive into more Japanese wrestling and after such an incredible week of it, I decided it was time! I break down the Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestle Dynasty shows for NJPW, AEW, and CMLL as well as the Battle in the Valley and Athena's huge title defense over in STARDOM.Threads: @ troubleswrestlingpodBlueSky: @troublesweekly.bsky.social
It truly is a sign of the times these days that the in ring product gets better, but the online hate just stays the same. We dissect how dumb the grifters are, how dope AEW has been, and oh yeah WWE is still around and I fill you in on how they're doing.
It's week 3 of the C2 and it's lead us to Winter is Coming where we have the full breakdown of what's in store. Also, some actually good WWE news this week because New Day is mean now. KENOH vs KENTA is happening on January 1st and it's my perfect match.
This week it is all about the Continental Classic's second week of action both tonight live on Dynamite, but also Friday late night on Rampage...oh yeah and the other company did their Survivor Series show. We talk the GCW/TK gossip as well.
This is a little quick ditty about the ongoing Continental Classic tournament for AEW and to say we're stoked about it is an understatement! We break down the contenders and of course it wouldn't be this show without some wildly incorrect predictions.
After a ridiculously dumb absence, we are back and it's all about AEW Full Gear and how dope wrestling looks to be in early 2025.
This was originally a live stream so the actual show begins around 6:42.
It's been too long but the pod is back and we are again joined by the god of casual wrestling fandom, my buddy Gabe. We dive into the deep waters of how AEW's future may be, WWE's lost momentum, and why Gabe thinks Goldberg is THE MAN! https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://x.com/TroublesWeekly https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod
It's all about Double or Nothing in this one, mainly where AEW is going after and how good it is to see them coming up again. We also talk the King and Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia and how weird that whole deal was and my favorite thing in wrestling today the NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament. https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://x.com/TroublesWeekly
It's been a wild month in the biz and nothing has been wilder than the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments that have seen tons of injuries and replacements. AEW continues to change the game with The New Elite and the new crop of top stars developing, and IMPACT got weird. Check us out on Social Media over at: https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly
This week it's all about AEW Dynasty and the insanity that was Dynamite in Daily's Place. Oh, and there was that whole battle royal for the WWE Women's World title too but... https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly
The gang is back together again as the esteemed wife has RETURNED!`~ We break down Infant Phil and his latest vomit on The MMA Hour, how dope Jack Perry has been in NJPW, and perhaps the beginning of an uprising in AEW.

We're diving head first into Elimination Chamber Perth as well as the Road to Revolution finding quite the potential injury pothole. NJPW tries to rebuild as their two top stars have left. https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly
It's a really sad time right now for the IWC and there's a lot of people worried about things. We break down the cracked Road to WrestleMania, how much the CMLL vs BCC feud rules, and how New Japan will say goodbye to two of their biggest stars this weekend. https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/
It's been a real messed up week in the 'rasslin' biz this week but there's some good as well. We sift through the filth of the week and find the gems, namely that Six Man Cage on Collision as well as the AEW women's division taking shape again. https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/
We had one wild ass week of wrestling and I'm here to break it down for you. TNA Hard to Kill stole the weekend, NJPW stole Jack Perry, WWE actually made some big moves as well that make Mania huge, and AEW has continued to improve as well. https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly
After a massive hiatus, we're back and with new equipment! World's End was dope, WWE is trying, and why Jacksonville is the red headed stepchild of AEW scheduling. https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/
We're deep into Continental Classic season, and while it's been fun and all we got some gripes! WWE repackaged the hot garbage from AEW, Randy Orton is still dope, and Gabe admits his substances. https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly
It's wild what a couple of weeks can do for wrestling. It's hot everywhere you look; AEW has a great Continental Classic underway, WWE just had two of the biggest stars of the past return in one night, and New Japan embarks on what will be a transformative Tokyo Dome Show in January.
When it seems like all hope is lost, count on two things in life: AEW is going to put on a solid wrestling card and LOL ROMAN WINS will be the result of any WWE show in Saudi Arabia. Oh and Lexis King is a stupid ass name. https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/
We know it's been a while and we know we have to make it up to you so here's our thoughts on the Top 10 wrestlers according to the PWI as well as a breakdown of the recent NXT vs AEW Tuesday silliness that twitter loved.
I gotta confess to all of you out there; I'm a fucking idiot. We had this sick podcast ready for you and I listened back to hear...just the shittiest levels imaginable. So here's our second best attempt but we think it's pretty good. Adam Copeland in AEW?! Jay White stole the gold? NXT loaded up with all the stars for a random Tuesday? https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod
It was a wild week as usual for the 'rasslin biz and we break down the good, the fucking awful, and the totally incomprehensible all around WWE, AEW, and even some Game Changer Wrestling. We break down Grand Slam, Collision, and a fun little segment about THAT Becky Lynch promo last week. https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod
We are t-minus 2 weeks since the Punk purge on AEW and we're here to report the fall out. We also go into Rhea Ripley's latest foe and why we're sighing like fuck about it. GCW praise, NOAH hype, and the need to see MJF do math equations on Kick soon. https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod
We're aware it's been a second but birdies tell me things happened these last two weeks? All In and Out banter, along with some praise for WWE for once. Consider it a pallet cleanser for one of the most bizarre weeks in 'rasslin history. https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://www.threads.net/@troubleswrestlingpod
Rest in Power Bray Wyatt aka Windham Rotunda. https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/
We didn't forget about yall, we're back with some more bad news for any fans of logic in wrestling. Good news for those of us that like a good train wreck, such as: SummerSlam Whatever that Collision during SummerSlam was Weak Faction Leaders Patience Gun Laws https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/
Who woulda thunk it? Rey's baby boy is the talk of the town in WWE and it's boosting ratings and everything! Of course there was that whole Blood and Guts thing over on the other channel, we'll cover that and more in this one! https://www.instagram.com/troubleswrestlingpod/ https://twitter.com/TroublesWeekly @troubleswrestlingpod@threads.net
