Podcasts about Petco Park

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver settle into a wild mix of stories, opinions, and observations that only these two can deliver. The episode opens with a look at the shifting landscape of TV and wrestling distribution, which sends the conversation down a path that blends media changes with Kevin's dry, cutting perspective on how the business is adapting. It sets a tone that everything is on the table today. As the show gets moving, Kevin drifts into a run of personal stories that are funny, sharp, and sometimes unbelievable. A CPAP repair visit turns into a reflection on age. A routine oil change becomes a miniature saga about wiper blades and tire pressure. Long drives in the snow transform into beer math, cops in the rearview, and Kevin explaining how 18 beers somehow equals a quarter of the way to intoxicated. These stories flow fast, and they go places only Kevin can take them.  From there, the conversation shifts into the world of wrestling. Kevin breaks down the physical reality of entrances, ring conditioning, performance rituals, and the small details most fans never get to hear. The talk deepens as they move to the mystery man from Survivor Series and the current discourse around wrestlers blowing up during matches. Kevin offers perspective that can only come from decades inside the ring and backstage.  The episode also features a run of stories about legends like Harley Race and Andre, memories from the road, and reflections on working styles across generations. There are surprising detours involving stem cell treatments, Mad Men production errors, the structure of episodic wrestling, and what happens when you find yourself backstage with wrestlers who still believe in ritual and rhythm. Every few minutes brings something new that you did not see coming.  By the end, the show swings from humor to industry insight to cultural commentary with a pace that feels effortless. Kevin and Sean move between TNA announcements, JCW talk, questions about who belongs under a hooded mask, and even a stark discussion about class and race in America. It is a heavy, hilarious, surprising, and wide ranging conversation that captures exactly why Kliq This remains one of the most unpredictable shows in wrestling media.

Welcome to Episode 153 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers — code TAVERN saves you 20%. Let's get into it. WWE delivered a historic Survivor Series: WarGames from Petco Park — the first outdoor Survivor Series ever, a stadium show under the Netflix/ESPN banner, and John Cena's final Survivor Series appearance. The Men's and Women's WarGames matches brought major spots, shifting alliances, and WrestleMania-season implications, while title bouts like Cena vs. Dominik Mysterio and Stephanie Vaquer vs. Nikki Bella pushed long-term stories forward. From surprise appearances to heel turns, injury updates, and post-show press conference fallout, Survivor Series shaped the next six weeks of WWE television. Meanwhile, the Last Time Is Now tournament is officially down to its final four. After Jey Uso outlasted Rusev and LA Knight put away The Miz — who manipulated his way into the bracket as Sheamus' injury replacement — the semifinals are set: Gunther vs. Solo Sikoa and Jey Uso vs. LA Knight. With Penta removed due to a legitimate shoulder injury and Carmelo Hayes falling to Gunther earlier in the week, the path to Cena's last opponent is clearer than ever. Both semifinals land on December 1 Raw, with the tournament final on December 5 SmackDown — and Cena's final match set for December 13 at Saturday Night's Main Event. AEW's week was no quieter, as the Continental Classic opened with upsets and instant storylines. Kyle Fletcher stunned Kazuchika Okada in the Gold League, Kevin Knight beat Darby Allin, and PAC debuted with a win over Mike Bailey — putting all three atop the standings. In the Blue League, Jon Moxley submitted Mascara Dorada, Claudio Castagnoli powered through Orange Cassidy, and Konosuke Takeshita defeated Roderick Strong to join the early three-point pack. Week 2 arrives with Moxley vs. Claudio, PAC vs. Okada, and Fletcher vs. Knight — plus the Women's World Tag Team Tournament semifinals in a Hardcore Holiday Death Match. Outside the rings, the industry is spinning. Claudio Castagnoli became CMLL World Heavyweight Champion in Mexico City. WWE reportedly made Chris Jericho a retirement storyline offer as his AEW contract nears its end. Andrade is negotiating his non-compete. Rush and Dralistico face surgeries. NXT Gold Rush delivered two major title changes. Seth Rollins outlined his WrestleMania-season comeback timeline. AEW and WWE are juggling schedule shifts, network demands, sponsorship deals, legal battles, backstage politics, injury updates, and new recruits — from high-level athletes entering the Performance Center to departures, surgeries, and reality-era conflicts reshaping locker rooms. And the week ahead is stacked: Moxley vs. Claudio, PAC vs. Okada, an AEW hardcore semifinal, NXT's Iron Survivor summit, The Culling explaining their betrayal, Briggs vs. Heights, TNA Impact fallout, Friday's SmackDown push toward December 13, and a wave of December tent-pole events — ROH Final Battle, NXT Deadline, AEW Winter Is Coming, TNA Final Resolution, AAA Guerra de Titanes, and Cena's farewell match.  

pWotD Episode 3134: Survivor Series: WarGames (2025) Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 420,997 views on Sunday, 30 November 2025 our article of the day is Survivor Series: WarGames (2025).The 2025 Survivor Series: WarGames, also promoted as Survivor Series: WarGames San Diego, was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE.

S. state of California, after the 2018 event in Los Angeles. It featured the first WarGames match to take place inside a stadium since July 1988, which was held by the former World Championship Wrestling (WCW). This was also the first Survivor Series to broadcast on Netflix internationally and on ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service in the United States. The event also featured John Cena's last appearance at both Survivor Series and on PPV as an in-ring performer due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025.Four matches were contested at the event, including two WarGames matches.

Wrestling Soup: WarGames 2025 - The "Vision" is BlurryJoe Numbas, Anthony, and Jon Draper (@iamjondraper @spitball_media) break down a chaotic night at Petco Park where cages were locked, legends were embarrassed, and masked men ruined the finish. We're NOT a wrestling show, we're a show that happens to witness John Cena get hit in the yam bag.Women's WarGames (The "Nostalgia" Pop): AJ Lee proves she can still go (and make people tap), Iyo Sky attempts to murder herself with a trash can dive, and Team Ripley picks up the win over Team "Why is Lash Legend here?".The Retirement Tour Detour: John Cena does the honors for Dominik Mysterio. We discuss the "passing of the torch" (or just passing of the heat) and whether Dom actually needs the Intercontinental Title.Liv Morgan's "Shocking" Return: The swerve that wasn't really a swerve. Liv returns, teases a face turn, and immediately low-blows Cena. The Judgment Day soap opera continues forever.Stephanie Vaquer vs. Nikki Bella: A match that happened. Vaquer retains the Women's World Title, and we question if the "Bella Army" still has any recruits left in 2025.Men's WarGames (Old Guard vs. The Vision): The "Bloodline & Friends" reunion tour hits a wall. Brock Lesnar collects a massive paycheck to throw a few suplexes, and The Vision (Breakker, Reed, McIntyre, Logan Paul) actually gets the win.The Masked Man Mystery: Who helped Bron Breakker pin CM Punk? Was it Seth? Austin Theory? We fantasy book the worst possible options and complain about interference finishes in a cage match.Final Thoughts: Was this "Cinema" or just a very long episode of Raw with a fence?Listen to the show that HAPPENS to talk about wrestling.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

Ben & Woods open the 9am hour with The Reindl Report and a few of Paulie's top headlines of the day, one of which sparks a fairly intense debate between Ben and Woodsy regarding the movie Mrs. Doubtfire?

Welcome to Episode 152 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers — code TAVERN saves you 20%. Full Gear 2025 leaves AEW in a very different place than it entered. Samoa Joe left the steel cage as AEW World Champion after HOOK's unexpected alignment swung the match, and Swerve Strickland's return immediately complicated the fallout by standing beside Hangman Page. Across the rest of the card, several wrestlers shifted their standing at once: PAC reasserted himself, FTR and Brodido delivered one of the night's most reliable performances, Kyle O'Reilly submitted Jon Moxley again, Mark Briscoe fought through an exhausting challenge to become TNT Champion, and Kris Statlander recorded the biggest win of her run. With Neón's debut and a high-stakes trios match added to the mix, AEW used the event to create new directions rather than reinforce the old ones. WWE, meanwhile, is closing in on Survivor Series with every major angle converging at once. The WarGames lineups are finalized, AJ Lee's return has shifted alliances, Becky Lynch has crossed brands, and both Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns made their presence felt in Madison Square Garden. John Cena preparing to defend the Intercontinental Title against Dominik Mysterio in San Diego, Nikki Bella's first heel turn in years, and a suddenly active Women's World Title picture all add layers heading into WWE's first outdoor Survivor Series at Petco Park. Running alongside that build is the "Last Time Is Now" tournament, which finally settled its quarterfinal field — Gunther, Carmelo Hayes, Solo Sikoa, Penta, Jey Uso, Rusev, LA Knight, and The Miz — all moving one step closer to Cena's retirement match. Beyond WWE and AEW, TNA is deep in media-rights talks with AMC while expanding into most of Latin America, GCW named Atticus Cogar its new world champion, Laynie Luck arrived in WWE ID with a title already in hand, and Jacy Jayne reclaimed the NXT Women's Championship. It's one of those weeks where every promotion is making moves that appear designed for the long term, not just the show in front of them.

Off The Bench is BACK!  The Cincinnati Bengals face a daunting 2025 NFL schedule, with seven games against 2024 playoff teams, including tough road matchups against the Vikings, Broncos, Packers, Ravens, and Bills. A particularly brutal stretch from Weeks 3-7 pits them against Minnesota, Denver, Detroit, Green Bay, and Pittsburgh, with three road games. Later, Weeks 13-16 include back-to-back Ravens games sandwiching a trip to Buffalo, testing their mettle in the AFC North gauntlet. With a 9-8 record in 2024 and no playoff appearance, navigating this schedule is critical for Joe Burrow and company to reclaim contender status. Their defense, which showed promise in a 17-16 Week 1 win over Cleveland, must hold up against elite offenses to avoid another postseason miss. Beating the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 at home is pivotal. After a shaky offensive showing (141 passing yards), the Bengals need Burrow to sync with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins against a Jaguars defense that struggled against the run in Week 1. A win improves their early record to 2-0, crucial for momentum before their brutal midseason stretch. It also sets a tone against a non-playoff opponent, avoiding the slow starts that have plagued Cincinnati (1-7 in Weeks 1-2 since 2019). Losing could amplify doubts about their offensive line and run game, risking a slide against tougher foes. On September 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds secured a crucial 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, keeping their NL wild card hopes alive. Zack Littell pitched effectively, while the Reds' offense erupted for three home runs, including a clutch two-run shot by Tyler Stephenson in the ninth to seal the win. TJ Friedl and Austin Hays also went deep, powering Cincinnati to a 73-72 record, two games behind the Padres for the final wild card spot. Despite a strong outing from Padres' starter Michael King, Robert Suarez's ninth-inning collapse cost San Diego, now 79-66. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

Off The Bench is BACK!  In a gritty 17-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns on September 7, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals leaned heavily on their defense to secure their first Week 1 win since 2021, despite a sluggish offensive showing. Rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart, the Bengals' first-round pick, made an immediate impact in his NFL debut, showcasing the athleticism that justified his high draft stock. Stewart helped generate a crucial red-zone sack by converging on Browns quarterback Joe Flacco alongside Trey Hendrickson, collapsing the pocket on a third-down play late in the fourth quarter to seal the win. His poise under pressure earned high praise, with Pro Football Focus awarding him a strong rookie grade for his disruptive presence, including a batted pass (later nullified by a flag). After overcoming a contentious holdout and fan skepticism during training camp—where he even accidentally clipped Burrow in practice—Stewart's performance flipped the narrative, proving his value on the edge. Quarterback Joe Burrow, returning from injury concerns, struggled mightily, completing just 14 of 23 passes for a career-low 113 yards and one touchdown. The offense managed only 141 total yards, with a dismal seven yards in the second half, marred by three-and-outs and early-season rust typical of Zac Taylor's teams. Yet Burrow remained optimistic postgame, noting, "We found a way to win. We didn't win any of these games last year, and so usually when you can win a game like this, that's a recipe for success." His leadership as a team captain alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins underscored the Bengals' resilience. Head coach Zac Taylor, entering his seventh season with a historically poor 1-11 record in the first two weeks, celebrated the disciplined effort. "I'm proud of them. The best outcome of this game is 1-0. Forget about the stats," Taylor said, crediting new defensive coordinator Al Golden's unit for limiting Flacco to two interceptions and holding Cleveland to 16 points. Taylor highlighted the rookies' calmness, including Stewart, in a game that tested the team's depth amid injuries. This ugly win signals potential growth, blending Burrow's grit, Stewart's promise, and Taylor's steady hand for a playoff push. In a heartbreaker at Petco Park, the Cincinnati Reds fell 4-3 to the San Diego Padres in 10 innings on September 8, 2025, dealing a blow to their fading wild-card hopes. The Reds jumped to a 3-0 lead against Yu Darvish, powered by TJ Friedl's leadoff homer, Elly De La Cruz's RBI single, and Austin Hays' solo shot. Starter Nick Lodolo delivered a strong outing, but Jackson Merrill's two-run triple in the sixth tied it. The game stayed knotted until the 10th, where reliever Nick Martinez's throwing error on a bunt advanced automatic runner Jake Cronenworth to third. Fernando Tatis Jr. then lofted a sacrifice fly for the walk-off win, his seventh of the season. The loss drops Cincinnati to 72-72, while San Diego (79-65) clings to the NL's second wild-card spot, three games ahead of the Mets. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers salvaged their final game of the season at Coors Field to secure a series split, and still have not lost a series to a National League West opponent in 10 tries in 2025. Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages homered on Thursday, the latter snapping a bizarre streak for Pages hitting his previous 16 home runs at Dodger Stadium. Clayton Kershaw improved to 7-2 after a loss this season, including wins in such games in all four August starts, with a 1.90 ERA so far this month. The Dodgers are 24-9 against the NL West, and will put that to the test against the Padres this weekend at Petco Park in San Diego. The Dodgers have won all three series against the Padres this season and take a one-game divisional lead into the weekend. Blake Snell starts the opener Friday night for the Dodgers, facing Yu Darvish for San Diego. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami. Produced by Brian Salvatore. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
