Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Folks, welcome to the greatest pro wrestling podcast in the world — Make Pro Wrestling Majestic Again, episode 193. And believe me, it's a BIG one. We're talking AEW Double or Nothing 2025 and WWE Battleground 2025, two HUGE events — some of it was amazing, some of it was a total disaster (especially AEW, what else is new). We give you the real story — not the FAKE reviews from the wrestling "media."First of all, let's talk about the meltdown from AEW's delusional fanbase — the Freakazoids turned on Mariah May faster than CNN flips stories. She's leaving AEW, probably to make money and be treated like a star (not like how Tony Khan books people). These fans? They're a JOKE. Total losers. AEW's dying because of them — SAD! We also saw Thekla debut in AEW and wow… total embarrassment. Who produced that? Probably the same guy who said Adam Cole looks healthy — spoiler: he doesn't. He looks like he hasn't seen a steak in years!We also dive deep into this week's wrestling news: HUGE developments. Janel Grand drops John Laurinaitis from her lawsuit — looks like WWE legal is working smart, finally. Stephanie Vaquer, very talented, is now officially on RAW — very classy. And great news, real American hero Jim Ross announced his colon cancer surgery was a success. We love JR, always have.Then we break down last night's action-packed WWE Battleground 2025 — some matches were INCREDIBLE. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Jordynne Grace? Big-league stuff, very strong. Sol Ruca continues to shine. And Joe Hendry vs. Trick Williams for the TNA World Title? I BELIEVE IN JOE HENDRY! Great stuff.And of course — AEW Double or Nothing. Mercedes Moné vs. Jamie Hayter was solid. FTR vs. Garcia and Nigel — yes, Nigel's BACK! But the rest? Some of it was total chaos. That Anarchy match? More like anarchy in the booking. And let's be honest — Adam Cole and Paragon? Weak. Hangman vs. Ospreay was a real match though, very strong ending.So join us — it's honest, it's real, it's majestic. Wrestling used to be great. We're making it that way again — one podcast at a time.Make Pro Wrestling Majestic Again — because someone has to.Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production

Video journalists Joss Fong and Adam Cole are rarely satisfied with the results of scientific inquiry. As self-proclaimed "earnest nerds," they are compelled to unpack the process — to learn HOW experts know the things they know. After more than a decade as science communicators at Vox and NPR, they launched their own home on YouTube called Howtown. Their videos on how to measure animal sentience, how we really know the circumference of the Earth, and how hot sauces get so ... hot ... have captivated millions of curious viewers — even those who may not be fluent in evidence-based science journalism. This week, Adam and Joss sit down with Matt to discuss their leap from established media to independent creators, the meticulous quality of their work, and the curiosity that compels them to create, even when the economics of the Internet felt grim.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly source for thoughtful analysis and comprehensive coverage of professional wrestling across AEW, WWE, NJPW, TNA, and beyond. In Episode 119, we take a closer look at AEW Dynasty 2025, an event that may not have aimed for spectacle, but instead offered meaningful story progression and character development. From Kenny Omega's standout title defense in a triple threat against Ricochet and Speedball Mike Bailey to the chaotic main event between Jon Moxley and Swerve Strickland, the night reflected AEW's evolving creative direction. Key moments—such as the return of the Young Bucks, FTR's turn on Adam Copeland, and Okada's silent confrontation with Omega—signal major storylines moving forward. We also cover the emotional win by Bandido over Chris Jericho, Adam Cole's TNT Championship victory, and the strong showing by Megan Bayne in her title challenge against Toni Storm. These matches helped strengthen AEW's midcard and showcased the depth of the roster. Post-show insights from the media scrum, featuring comments from Toni Storm, Anthony Bowens, and Adam Cole, offered personal reflections on the night's impact and direction. Outside AEW, WWE made headlines this week with Kevin Owens announcing he will undergo neck surgery, officially pulling out of his scheduled WrestleMania 41 match. Meanwhile, CM Punk invoked his long-standing favor from Paul Heyman, asking Heyman to be in his corner for the main event at WrestleMania. The request set off a tense segment involving Roman Reigns, as Heyman, torn between loyalty and respect, made a surprising decision. Also featured in this week's episode: TNA rebrands the Digital Media Title as the International Championship, with a new tournament underway. NJPW's Best of the Super Juniors 32 field is set, with AEW's Nick Wayne and others making their debuts. Previewing the full schedule for WrestleMania week, including NXT Stand & Deliver, Bloodsport, Joey Janela's Spring Break, and more. AEW announces Fyter Fest's return as a four-hour special on June 4. A preview of NJPW Windy City Riot, featuring Hiroshi Tanahashi's final U.S. match and several high-stakes bouts.

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, where we bring clarity, context, and deeper perspective to the stories shaping the wrestling world. In Episode 118, we preview AEW Dynasty 2025 — a card filled with major title defenses, personal rivalries, and defining moments across the AEW roster. We break down the World Title main event between Jon Moxley and Swerve Strickland, a match built on tension, psychological warfare, and AEW's evolving identity. “Timeless” Toni Storm defends against Megan Bayne in a clash of showmanship and strength, while Kenny Omega puts his International Title on the line in a high-speed Triple Threat with Ricochet and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. We also look at Daniel Garcia vs. Adam Cole in a decisive TNT Championship match, a high-stakes ROH bout between Chris Jericho and Bandido, and the return of Rated FTR as they chase the Trios Titles. From there, we turn to WWE, where CM Punk is officially set to headline WrestleMania 41 in a Triple Threat with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. We trace the build, its connection to Shield history, and the implications of Punk finally reaching the main event stage — years after walking away. Also this week: The “Ric Flair Act” is introduced in the North Carolina Senate, proposing a feasibility study for a professional wrestling Hall of Fame museum honoring the state's rich wrestling heritage. AEW Dynamite is set to air its 289th episode on April 16 at Spring BreakThru — officially surpassing WCW Monday Nitro's run on Turner networks. Ethan Page returns to TNA, entering the Rebellion main event alongside Joe Hendry and Frankie Kazarian for the World Title. WWE announces the return of Evolution, its all-women's premium live event, and inducts Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin from WrestleMania 13 into the WWE Hall of Fame as a “Legacy Match.” Kevin Knight signs with AEW, five entrants are revealed for the 2025 Owen Hart Cup, and GCW's Spring Break 9 includes a chaotic Senior Scramble that captures the indie spirit. From AEW and WWE to GCW and TNA, this week's stories are about legacy, evolution, and the moments that connect past, present, and future.
