The week we are joined by JBUGZ from Rawdown and Travis from Wicked Bitter! Join us as we ask Is it best to have your top stars a special attraction(limited appearances) or be apart of the show in a major role weekly; is AEW and WWE really as different as the tribalistic fans want you to think; and who is more likely to turn heel first: Jey Uso or Iyo Sky? It's going to be a fun week here at The Tavern, so to make sure you do not miss anything, go to patreon.com/theturnbuckletavern for all your Tavern needs!
Here's what you'll get in this one. Kevin and Sean press on the question “What is masculinity in 2025” and why the answer keeps changing. From aging mailers to modern medicine to how politics touches everything you do, they frame the conversation without wagging fingers. If you are tired of buzzwords and want straight talk, this sets the table. We pressure test today's masculine archetypes against work, family, health, and money. Think confidence versus control, security versus risk, and care versus performance. It is not a lecture. It is lived experience filtered through decades on the road and in boardrooms, gyms, rinks, and locker rooms. We also zoom out. Markets, gold fever, tariffs, and why “guaranteed” returns feel different when groceries climb. Creative control, royalties, and the corporate shell game show up as mirrors for how men measure value and status. The wrestling lens is a tool here. It keeps the theory honest. Culture check. GQ's stats on comfort, leadership, and stay at home fatherhood meet beard trimmers, GLP shots, TRT, and the quiet grind to stay useful. Sports habits, Florida Man vs Jersey Guy, and a pile of match stipulations add the fun. The live Q&A in the 11Soft Club pulls viewers into the ring. Bring a take. Expect a counter.

It's one of the biggest and most unpredictable weeks of the year in professional wrestling, and Wrestling Tonight is here for all of it. Episode 145 takes you from the glow of Perth to the grit of Lowell, from The CW's cross-promotional chaos to AEW's calm confidence on Title Tuesday. Every company is making a statement and not all of them are speaking the same language. WWE Crown Jewel heads to Australia for the first time, trading the desert lights of Riyadh for the arena shine of Perth. On paper, it's a landmark: the first Crown Jewel outside Saudi Arabia, another PLE on ESPN in the US, and John Cena's final international PLE before retirement. But beneath the historic veneer, this show feels more corporate than creative. Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins is technically “brand warfare,” but the Crown Jewel title still feels like a branding exercise without meaning. Stephanie Vaquer vs Tiffany Stratton offers contrast and quality, but the match's stakes are as vague as the men's. Rhea Ripley's homecoming with Iyo Sky and Cena's farewell with AJ Styles will give the event its emotion, but the rest feels like presentation over purpose — a global commercial dressed up as a PLE. Across the ocean, TNA returns to Lowell for Bound for Glory, a show that should be the company's proudest moment but instead feels like a balancing act between rebirth and identity crisis. Trick Williams defends the TNA World Championship against Mike Santana in a match that will showcase charisma and intensity, but still carries the shadow of crossover influence. The Hardys and Team 3D will blow the roof off in a nostalgia-fueled tables match, yet it's a reminder that TNA's tag division still leans too heavily on its past. Leon Slater vs Je'Von Evans for the X Division Championship might be the purest wrestling of the night — a true flash of the TNA that once made fans believe. And Kelani Jordan vs Indi Hartwell for the Knockouts title should deliver, even if it highlights how much of the division's spotlight now comes from NXT. Bound for Glory 2025 will probably be a strong show bell-to-bell, but it's also an identity test — can TNA still feel like TNA while sharing its spotlight with WWE's developmental system? Meanwhile, AEW isn't flinching. Title Tuesday goes head-to-head with WWE and TNA's Showdown special on The CW, but Tony Khan isn't chasing the scoreboard anymore. AEW knows exactly what it is — and it's not playing defense. With Andrade El Idolo's shocking return and the debut of El Clon as the newest member of The Don Callis Family, AEW's creative direction feels confident, deliberate, and entirely its own. The “no-win” narrative misses the point: AEW doesn't need to win the week — it just needs to keep telling stories that matter. Elsewhere, Hikaru Shida confirmed she's re-signed with AEW, ending retirement rumors sparked by her stage work in Japan. And in Mexico, Bandido suffered a shoulder injury during his successful ROH World Title defense against Hechicero at CMLL Viernes Espectacular. Despite the setback, he's expected to continue teaming with Brody King as the AEW Tag Team Champions “Brodido.” The other side of that fight — the NXT/TNA Showdown — looks sharper than anyone expected after WWE scrapped the “Invasion” branding. The teams are locked, the captains are set, Mustafa Ali finally gets the North American Title shot he was promised before his 2023 release, and the tag titles from both companies go on the line between The Hardys and DarkState. Joe Hendry's vow to appear and Jordynne Grace's role as guest referee add the kind of wild-card energy that could make this one of the more memorable Tuesday nights in years. From Perth's global showcase to Lowell's nostalgia-fueled battleground, from AEW's quiet confidence to WWE's marketing machine, this week proves just how fragmented and fascinating the modern wrestling landscape has become. Every company is thriving — but not all of them know who they are.
We go 3-wide this week with The Two Bad Chads and Colton! Join us as we ask is this a true resurgence built by TNA, or a borrowed identity propped up by WWE that could collapse overnight; are open challenges the best vehicle for creating new stars quickly, or do they devalue matches that should be saved for big stages; and six years in, is AEW still the genuine alternative it set out to be, or has it become the very thing it tried not to be? It's going to be a fun week here at The Tavern, so to make sure you do not miss anything, go to patreon.com/theturnbuckletavern for all your Tavern needs!
The WWE Crown Jewel 2025 event is shaping up to be a blockbuster, and we're diving into all the predictions, drama, and potential surprises on this episode of #theFBCPod. Headlining the event is Cody Rhodes, SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Champion, facing off against Seth Rollins, Raw's World Heavyweight Champion, in a singles match for the WWE Crown Jewel Championship. Could Randy Orton finally betray Cody Rhodes, or will the American Nightmare prevail? On the women's side, Stephanie Vaquer, Raw's Women's World Champion, takes on Tiffany Stratton, SmackDown's WWE Women's Champion, for the WWE Women's Crown Jewel Championship. But the real question is: do fans even care about this matchup? John Cena and AJ Styles are set to clash in a singles match, but is it a foregone conclusion that Cena will walk away victorious? Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky team up to face The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) in a tag team match. How invested are fans in this showdown? The Bloodline saga continues as Roman Reigns steps away from his Akuma persona. What does this mean for the Usos and the OG Bloodline? Solo Sikoa hinted that something—or someone—is missing. Could this be the return of Tama Tonga, and does anyone care? Join us as we break down all the matches, storylines, and potential twists in this must-watch WWE event.

Plus, McNeill's Live Events center at the 45:00 mark.On the Sept. 30, 2010 episode, PWTorch editor Wade Keller takes calls for the full hour on a wide range of topics including WWE's women;s division, a revisiting of the Bret Hart-Vince McMahon relationship, whether John Cena might be the Raw G.M., could Smackdown go live, what's wrong with WWE's product lately, why TNA didn't just have RVD lose the title rather than run the angle where he was stripped of it, how to make PPVs special again, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.

Devět let trvalo, než se Evropská unie a Indonésie propracovaly k podpisu vzájemné obchodní dohody. Vnitroevropská bezcelní oblast se tak rozšířila o další území, obývané čtvrtým nejlidnatějším národem na světě. Doba, kterou zabralo vyjednávání o dohodě, proti dvacetileté době, během které trvalo uzavřít podobnou dohodu s jihoamerickými státy, sdruženým pod názvem Mercosur, byla zázračně krátká.
Evropská obrana? Zatím jen nesourodá hromada nápadů. Trumpova přednáška pro ministerstvo války proti politickým oponentům. Ruská hybridní válka ve Francii. Cena za palmový olej. Elon Musk ztrácí lidi. Šéfovi se do práce mluvit nebude

In our last solo review before the finale, Frank breaks down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7, “Like a Thief in the Night.” We cover how the Earth X arc reframes the team's choices, why Adebayo finally steps from reactive to proactive, the surprising nuance to Augie in a fascist world, and how Vigilante's sacrifice resets the board for the finale. We also talk about the episode's strongest character beats, where the mechanics show, and why John Cena's work this season stands out as his best to date. untitled Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro, episode plan, and what's coming for the finale 00:44 Dropped into Earth X and the Argus escape 01:09 Adebayo and Judo Master connect, seeing the world for what it is 03:06 Team regroups with two Vigilantes, plans the house infiltration 04:16 A different Augie in a different world, and what that says about DCU Augie 06:15 Chris vs. the past he can't outrun 07:14 Keith's near-death, Chris's breaking point, and a choice with consequences 08:27 The portal sequence, who stays behind, and what it sets up 09:10 John Cena's leap from Season 1 to now 09:52 What worked: real consequences, character-first storytelling, grounded stakes 15:44 Where it stumbles: mechanical connectors and limited Earth X texture 17:26 Performance shoutouts: Holland, Brooks, and scene craft 18:42 Why this is a perfect penultimate chapter and what we want from the finale Key Takeaways Earth X is a mirror, not a gimmick. The episode uses the setting to highlight privilege, hate, and willful blindness, pushing Chris to confront what he doesn't see until it's too late. Adebayo steps up. She's the glue when she's active, not reactive. This is her most decisive episode of the season, rallying the team and reframing her personal accountability. Augie's complexity lands. In a world that validates him, Augie isn't “better,” but he's different. That contrast sheds light on how alienation hardened DCU Augie. Consequences feel real. Death is on the table, choices cost something, and quiet character beats carry more weight than the explosions around them. Cena levels up. The grief and surrender scenes rank among the season's best acting, selling Chris as a broken man trying to do one right thing. Minor stumbles. A few transitions feel mechanical and Earth X's texture could use more on-screen shading to heighten anxiety and stakes. Quotes “This episode is character first, even when the world is exploding around them.” “Adebayo works best when she's leading, not reacting.” “Augie isn't redeemed here, he's contextualized. The world that embraced him made a different monster.” “Cena's performance turns Chris into a man who can finally look his guilt in the eye.” Call to Action If you're enjoying these breakdowns, follow and subscribe, drop us a rating and review, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaksPodcast.
