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

Step behind the curtain and slip into the green-room chaos that only the 11SOFT club normally hears. This “Best of the Pre-Show” mixtape stitches together those hot-mike minutes when Kevin Nash, Sean Oliver and the full Kliq brain-trust empty the chamber before the red light blinks. It is unfiltered locker-room humor, half-baked concepts and very real belly laughs… all finally set loose. Ever wondered how a Gaylord Perry Man of the Year trophy, Bea Arthur, and a Florida cop-battling “multitasker” could all end up in the same awards show pitch? The gang's year-end brainstorm session is here, and it is gloriously off the rails. Sprinkle in a live critique of Mandy Rose's infamous “menu” and you begin to understand why these warm-ups sometimes eclipse the main program. Dave Meltzer's legendary paper tsunami office gets roasted in real time, complete with a forensic breakdown of his CRT monitor and Rolodex. From there the conversation ricochets to Corey Graves conspiracy theories, Pat McAfee's chaos energy, and a fantasy booking detour that leaves even Big Kev shaking his head. No topic is safe and every punchline lands stiff. Kevin's own life shows up too. You will hear the most honest play-by-play ever given of the IVF “walk of shame” and learn why a $4,500 two-night SummerSlam package made him reach for hazard pay. Add a side order of AEW attendance math, a cameo by Gain the Pride-Flag Kane, and a surprise ten-grand payday story for Mick Foley and you have the entire spectrum of wrestling's weirdest corners. This sampler is a love letter to the diehards who live for inside jokes and deep-cut lore. If you crack a smile here, imagine catching it live with the crew every week. Hit play, take the ride, then decide whether you are ready to join the 11SOFT club and hear tomorrow's insanity before anyone else.

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. Mercedes Mone, Jon Moxley v. Adam Page, and the turning it back match of Okada v. Omega among others! Plus, in what will likely be the biggest spectacle of the weekend, Bill Goldberg looks to retire as WWE World Heavyweight Champion against Gunther in Goldberg's hometown of Atlanta, GA.  Will this match be what everyone is talking about on Monday? 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?
