The Bois are back to their old tricks, going looking for the peculiar angles to what was a very rich New Japan Cup. They talk the Cup as a whole, why the pick ems being predictable is a good thing, how the direction is clear in ways that are exciting, why Taichi can't win, why Yuya can't lose, and why the old guard is still so valuable. Then it's on to the Cup final and a deep discussion into the character parallels between the two men, the key distinction at the genesis which may determine their directions, and why so many still struggle with talk about these type of characters in pro wrestling; as the Stiff Bois proudly define what they think Observing Wrestling is.

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows!

El Toro ... has returned ... for good!This week, I break down the hottest stories in pro wrestling! From AEW's latest title scene drama and major backstage news in TNA to NJPW's New Japan Cup winner and STARDOM's big shakeups, I've got it all covered. Plus, I dive into WWE's biggest developments on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, including John Cena's shocking heel turn, and the road to WrestleMania. Don't miss this jam-packed episode of El Toro's Podcast!

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, where we bring clarity, context, and deeper perspective to the stories shaping the wrestling world. In Episode 117, we lead with WWE's most consequential announcement to date: Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk will headline WrestleMania 41 in a long-awaited Triple Threat. It's a collision of former allies, bitter rivals, and legacy-defining stakes. We trace the path that brought them here — from Shield history to Royal Rumble chaos — and what this match means in a post-Bloodline WWE. We then turn to John Cena's blistering return promo in Brussels, where he seemingly severed ties with the fans who once defined his career. His scathing words — delivered with cutting intensity — reframed his past, questioned the crowd's loyalty, and set up a collision with Cody Rhodes that's as much about identity as it is about pride. Over in NJPW, David Finlay has claimed the 2025 New Japan Cup, setting up a date with destiny at Sakura Genesis. We break down his tournament run, his transformation into Bullet Club's modern leader, and what this moment means for NJPW's long-term direction. We also take a heartfelt detour to reflect on the retirement of ROH original Homicide, who wrestled his final match on his birthday in Brooklyn after revealing a serious medical diagnosis. It's the end of an era — and we celebrate the grit, fire, and legacy of a true indie legend. But that's not all — this episode is packed with compelling side stories and emerging threads from across the wrestling spectrum: Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's rise and plans to crown its first-ever champions in Toronto. Updates on WWE's new ID Championship Tournament, launching during WrestleMania Week at GCW and FSW. Lex Luger's WWE Hall of Fame induction and his desire to be inducted by Sting — a request that could challenge the AEW/WWE divide. The growing chaos in NXT with the rise of the new faction Darkstate, and what it means for the brand's creative direction. The suspension of Alberto El Patron in Tijuana, and the fallout from his post-match incident. Jeff Jarrett's surprise return to AAA, promising to defend the vacated tag titles with a mystery partner at Rey de Reyes. Confirmations for GCW's Bloodsport XIII, including appearances from Pete Dunne, Karrion Kross, and Natalya during WrestleMania week. Konosuke Takeshita's House of Glory debut, adding more crossover intrigue to AEW's indie footprint. And early movement in the 2025 Owen Hart Cup, with Hangman Page and Will Ospreay the first entrants revealed. From headline-making moments to the undercurrents that keep the wrestling world thriving, Wrestling Tonight covers it all — with nuance, depth, and genuine passion. Join us for all of that and more at theturnbuckletavern.com, and support the show via Patreon for just $2.99 a month.

The lads talk the ever evolving NJPW match construction template and what it could mean for the Final, before diving into Finlay and Shota's paths to the finals; both in the tourney and beyond.
