Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online

Andrew Zarian is back with another Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, talking about the latest wrestling news. This week's major news revolves around the retirement of John Cena, whose final match took place Saturday night on Saturday Night's Main Event. I offered a detailed show review and shared my reaction to the controversial decision to have him lose his final match, debating whether it was the right choice given the immediate fan outrage that followed. Also, I talk about the rest of the card and the decision to have a DQ finish between Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi. This is a crutch WWE relies on too much. I discuss other ways they could have handled this match. Plus, a review of AEW Collision, thoughts on who's going to win the Continental Classic, and the pending return of a big star this week. All this and more!

After a month off, TNA wrestling returned to action and immediately kneecapped their biggest hero. Mike Santana shockingly dropped the TNA world championship on their first live show after he won the title, in an unadvertised match, after a gang of NXT benchwarmers invaded the show. Between a new episode of Impact and the Turning Point app special the next night, TNA's world changed. What led to the angle? What might have inspired it? Did it work, and where do they go from here? It's not all doom and gloom, though--a recent WWE release reunites with some old friends and helps put on one of TNA's best matches all year. There's a lot to cover on the latest Big Vinny V Show!

Andrew Zarian is back from a summer break with an all-new Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, catching up on all things professional wrestling. I start out catching up on things that happened this summer on my break, including the partnership between ESPN and WWE to carry all the PLEs. Why are they doing it, will it work, and how will it be perceived on a sports-centric network? The big story of the week happened on Friday Night SmackDown with the return of AJ Lee to confront Becky Lynch after she again attacked CM Punk in a well-done segment. I discuss the differences between when she left and the current landscape of women's wrestling, which she's now entering. I also discuss this week's AEW Collision, including FTR's presentation as 1980's throwback heels, and the nostalgic presentation in the 2300 arena.
