Episode 191 is headlined by a massive week across WWE, AEW, TNA Wrestling, and NJPW as Night of Champions, Forbidden Door, Slammiversary, and G1 Climax continue to take shape. We begin in WWE, where Sami Zayn's controversial actions as special guest referee have led to a WWE Championship Triple Threat between Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and Sami Zayn at Night of Champions. We break down the fallout and preview the rest of the card, including Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker inside a steel cage, the King and Queen of the Ring Finals, Trick Williams defending the United States Championship against Ricky Saints, and Tiffany Stratton facing Jade Cargill. Over in AEW, we discuss reports that multiple AEW, NJPW, and CMLL talents still don't know their Forbidden Door plans, Gabe Kidd's expected involvement, and the unique way the event continues to come together. We also preview a loaded card featuring Swerve Strickland vs. Will Ospreay, Mercedes Moné vs. Maya World, Kenny Omega vs. Zack Sabre Jr., Jon Moxley vs. Bandido, PAC vs. Shota Umino, and more. The women's division remains a major focus as Kris Statlander joins Hikaru Shida and Persephone in the first-ever Survival of the Fittest Match to crown a new TBS Champion following Willow Nightingale's injury. We also discuss Tony Khan naming Thekla, Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, and Mercedes Moné among AEW's modern pillars. In TNA Wrestling, we examine the company's ongoing restructuring following the departures of Tommy Dreamer, Sami Callihan, and Tessa Blanchard. We discuss Matt Hardy's defense of TNA President Carlos Silva, the latest creative rumors involving Delirious, Eric Tompkins, and Road Dogg, and whether the promotion is entering a new era. We also preview Slammiversary, headlined by Mike Santana challenging Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Championship. Over in NJPW, Aaron Wolf and Yuto-Ice officially qualify for G1 Climax 36 as the tournament field continues to take shape. We discuss NJPW's continued investment in its next generation of stars and what it means for the company's future. Plus, Paul Heyman praises AEW's impact on wrestler compensation and the industry at large, Mystery Wrestling's Infinite Rumble sets a new fundraising record, Josh Barnett responds to Bully Ray's criticism of Jon Moxley, and we discuss why Moxley remains one of wrestling's most polarizing figures.

Turnbuckle Tavern is powered by G FUEL and Official Dick Lazer. Use code TAVERN for 20% off at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Episode 190 is headlined by a major development in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, as all parties have received approval to move the case toward private arbitration. We discuss what the canceled June 16 hearing, the July 10 status report, and the potential move to confidential arbitration could mean, not just legally but publicly, as questions grow about whether WWE and TKO may eventually test the waters for a Vince McMahon rehabilitation tour. We also break down CM Punk's expected WWE return. Punk has been announced for FanaticsFest on July 19, reports continue to point toward a return on or before the July 6 Raw near Chicago, and Dave Meltzer reports WWE's current plan is for Punk to join the SmackDown roster. We examine the teased Cody Rhodes program, why creative changes delayed his return, and what it could mean for SummerSlam. Rhea Ripley is dealing with issues both inside and outside the ring. WWE revealed that the Women's Champion is being evaluated for a knee injury suffered in Italy, while Ripley also opened up about fans crossing major boundaries, including showing up at her home and one person obtaining her personal phone number after being unable to purchase SmackDown tickets. On the AEW side, we look at ticket sales for Redemption in Montreal and Grand Slam Mexico, with both events showing encouraging early momentum. Redemption has distributed 4,782 tickets and is already approaching AEW's previous Bell Centre number, while Grand Slam Mexico sits at 5,146 tickets distributed, well above AEW's current 2026 attendance average. We also cover NJPW Dominion 2026, where five championships changed hands. Yota Tsuji regained the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Shota Umino captured the IWGP Global Championship, YOH became the 100th IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, Aaron Wolf reclaimed the NEVER Openweight Championship, and Great O Khan and HENARE captured the IWGP Tag Team Championships. Plus, Gabe Kidd returned and immediately inserted himself into the title picture. The road to G1 Climax 36 is now set as NJPW finalizes its play in matches. We discuss Aaron Wolf's rapid rise, the final qualifying matches, and how the field is shaping up before the tournament begins July 11 in Chicago. John Cena also shares new details on the planned John Cena Classic, including WWE's version of an All Star Game, a new championship, fan voting, cross brand exhibition matches, and the possibility, however unlikely, of one more match. Plus, UFC Freedom 250 becomes one of the strangest stories of the year. The FBI says it foiled an alleged attack plot targeting the White House event, Dana White publicly criticized Josh Hokit's remarks about Michelle Obama, Roman Reigns, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, Shane McMahon, and Declan McMahon were all in attendance, and Daniel Cormier found himself at the center of a bizarre social media controversy involving Eric Trump. From there, we head to TNA, where the company is undergoing major changes. Tessa Blanchard has been granted her release after reportedly declining an exclusive contract offer, while longtime creative figure Tommy Dreamer has mutually parted ways with the promotion after nearly a decade in leadership and creative roles. We break down the reported wrestling politics involving TNA, WWE, AAA, CMLL, and AEW that may have contributed to Blanchard's departure, discuss Dreamer's exit and his impact on the company behind the scenes, examine the reports linking Road Dogg to a potential role in TNA's creative future, and explore what these departures could mean for the company's direction moving forward. We also preview the week ahead, including Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Championship against Gunther with Sami Zayn as special guest referee, Charlotte Flair facing Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring semifinals, Mercedes Moné battling Hazuki in the Owen Hart Tournament, AEW's continued build toward Forbidden Door, and a loaded slate of action from NJPW, TNA, and more.

On this episode of Hopeless Show, we read a review, celebrate the things we've actually gotten right, and wade straight into the beautiful mess of politics, culture, media, and internet nonsense. From “message vs. messenger” to our running watch on weird headlines, parody songs, public spectacles, and ideological chaos, it's thoughtful, unhinged, and very on brand. Plus: a debate on organ donation, some talk about stability, and the debut of The Hopeless Question.
In this episode, Aaron and Rohit share deep geographical knowledge. Aaron shares the gospel of phone-free concerts w Paul McCartney. Rohit reacts to Trump tweets. The guys debate LinkedIn vs X, and look into where you can purchase medical leeches.
Aaron sits down with John Spencer, an urban warfare military strategist, combat veteran, and widely featured war expert seen on CNN, ABC, MSNBC, and more, to hear things you've never heard on what most people are getting wrong about Iran. And how John thinks differently, from in school to in the trenches. Plus how modern conflict is actually analyzed, and why the gap between battlefield reality and public narrative keeps getting wider. For more conversation with John Spencer on the Middle East, Ukraine and what it's like to be on the ground, please listen to Episode 138.
In this episode of The Hopeless Show, Aaron and Rohit go from headphones to crypto, and the usual MAGA Monday chaos—complete with communication fails, Pentagon seafood drama, and Trump somehow talking to Jesus. They squeeze in some actual learning with Spielberg, Chalamet, and a dyslexia submission, then hit Twitter trends, sports, and a new “Hopeless Question” segment before closing out with hope, sermons, spring break, prostate talk, and a truly unnecessary Would You Rather.

This week, the Eastern Lariat dives into a possibly defining show for New Japan Pro Wrestling on 2/11: Tsuji remains champ, Jake Lee looked goofy and Tsuji called out Bushiroad – a lot to unwind for STRIGGA & Dylan! They also discuss the big question: where exactly do you go with Olympic gold medalist Aaron Wolf from here? Who's stepping up after Finlay and Hiromu being added to the list of departures? Maybe Callum Newman? The New Japan Cup may provide some answers. Dylan also plugs his obituary for Tadao Yasuda and STRIGGA is hyped for Katsuya Murashima moving to Europe. After 90 minutes of NJPW, the Lariat goes rapid fire with the Champion Carnival line up, NOAH's latest Korakuen, GLEAT, TJPW and of course Saya Kamitanis's tremendous performance on February 7!
