Welcome to Chuck's Cantina Podcast where anything & everything is up from discussion. This week Chuck returns to the Cantina to discuss the new streaming deals involving the UFC & WWE, the issues he has with NFL streaming, & his recent "hunt" for a Star Wars Funko.

What if you are clearly one of the best fighters on the planet, better than many champions who have won undisputed UFC titles, but never won one yourself? Well that question is essentially what this list is exactly about. Absolutely phenomenal fighters who fell just shy of their own undisputed gold. It goes without saying, this list does not count interim as it's an honor underneath the top fighter in that division usually meant to fill a gap or merely to help sell PPVs.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, Crissi Rae and I start round two as we go Through the Turnbuckles this week. With the WWE moving PLEs to ESPN, I thought this would be a great topic to start the show with. From there, we go on to the other topics that will help shape this show with prediction for Clash in Paris, as well as a bold prediction that could alter the world of wrestling. What could that be? You'll find out by clicking below so buckle up because this is going to be a wild ride. Have a great day, everyone, and may the slams be with you.

The Big Five Project returns and, much to the delight of PC Tunney, we bring 1995 to a close with what was probably the best PPV in one of the worst years for PPVs in WWE history. Survivor Series '95 seems to be where WWE started righting the ship, so to speak. We had cruiserweights and light-heavyweights trying to steal the show in the opening match, a very unique Wild Card format for one of the other Survivor Series elimination matches, and an absolute war in the Main Event between Bret Hart and Diesel for the WWF Championship. The best match in the trilogy of battles between Big Daddy Cool and the Hitman saw the Excellence of Execution become a three-time WWF Champ and set things in motion for 1996. There are, of course, some problems with the card (it is 1995 after all), notably the Women's elimination match and the final match in WWE for Bam Bam Bigelow. But Survivor Series was a damn good PPV and an encouraging sign of things to come as the calendar would turn to 1996!

This week on the Tapped Out Wrestling Podcast, we're breaking down some of the biggest shake-ups in combat sports and pro wrestling:WWE/ESPN Deal: What the $1.6 billion, 5-year agreement means for Premium Live Events, why fans are upset about the $29.99/month price tag, and how the move could reshape WWE's reach and presentation.Karrion Kross & Scarlett Exit: Are they really gone or is this another WWE “blurred reality” storyline? We look at Kross's candid comments, creative frustrations, and what's next for both.AEW's Hurt Syndicate Heat: MVP's backstage reputation, booking decisions, and the creative challenges facing AEW's tag division.WWE vs AEW on the Same Night: WWE rumored to run a main roster PLE head-to-head with AEW All Out — is this a strategic shot or coincidence?UFC's Paramount+ & CBS Mega Deal: $7.7 billion, the end of $79.99 PPVs, what fighters stand to gain or lose, and whether CBS can make up for UFC leaving ESPN's massive social media presence.

The UFC ACTUALLY DID IT! They finally got rid of PPV. This effectively means in the US, you are no longer go to have to spend over a thousand dollars a year if you want to legit buy every PPV and get a subscription of ESPN+ in order to do so. Paramount Plus has paid a crazy amount to essentially get rid of UFC PPVs for the next 7 years and pretty much forever if this goes well.

Belal Muhammad said he doesn't care what you think anymore. He knows he's good, even if you don't. Well, I mean, yeah, he is the UFC welterweight champion, so there is some evidence to suggest he's pretty good. Somehow, though, it still feels like there are constantly a lot of doubts. You doubt he'll win his next fight. You doubt it'll be exciting, if he does. You doubt he'll sell many PPVs, you doubt he'll get in the UFC's good graces, you doubt he'll hang onto that belt for long … and on and on and on … So far, for the most part, he's proved you wrong. Still, that makes this weekend's title defense at UFC 315 against Jack Della Maddalena all the more important. It's the first time in a long while that Belal isn't the underdog. So … gotta win this one, right? Plus, what now for Bo Nickal? That's up to him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
