The best/worst weekend for being a wrestling fan in 2025 is coming our way, as between the two big North American companies, they look to monopolize every waking hour this weekend with some sort of Premium content. AEW's biggest show of the year, ALL IN: Texas, is shaping up to be just that.  With some major feuds coming to a head, The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer joins Mike McGuire to go over the card, including mega matches like Toni Storm v.

What of WWE Evolution 2 and the NXT Great American Bash? Ring of Honor's PPV as well?  Will these be sleeper shows among fans, or are they doomed due to their surroundings?

Bryan Alvarez and Mike Sempervive talk about the biggest news in wrestling!

Do you remember where you were when the future of wrestling arrived? It was May 29th, 2014. The event was simply called… TakeOver. The very first one. A show that wasn't just another PPV; it was a statement. A declaration that the next generation was here, and they were ready to steal the show. On the new episode of Legends and Champions, we're doing a deep dive into this historic night. We're talking about the match that truly kickstarted the Women's Revolution: Charlotte Flair versus Natalya, with their legendary family members at ringside. A match that laid the foundation for everything that came next. Plus, we'll dissect the incredible main event that put the NXT Championship on the map—Adrian Neville versus Tyson Kidd in a breathtaking athletic contest. We explore the moments, the legacy, and the birth of the brand that would define an era of wrestling.

Last week, wrestlers, fans, and friends of Ron Killings all expressed their disappointment and shock at the news that TKO/WWE failed to come to an agreement to keep Ron Killings, aka R-Truth, on the roster.

After one of the busiest weeks in Western Hemisphere televised wrestling, Mike McGuire tries to break down some of the biggest events and gets some help from a couple familiar voices. First, Joe Aguinaldo returns from another big live event, this time at TNA Wrestling's Under Siege.  He gives a match-by-match report based on his personal experience, and why the only thing that may have ruined the show for him didn't happen in the ring! Then, The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is back, and he and Mike get caught up on the past couple of weeks including a possible rehabilitation for "Hangman" Adam Page's character, Trick Williams as the new TNA Champion, Joe Hendry's WWE future, and much more. Plus, Dave also gives his thoughts on ECW and hardcore wrestling icon SABU, just weeks after his passing.
