Podcasts about Swerve

Welcome to Wrestling Tonight, with your hosts Acefield Retro and Chad. Episode 156 is centered on AEW's year-ending statement show. For the third straight year, Worlds End closes the calendar not by starting new stories, but by finishing them. Set for Saturday, December 27 in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, Worlds End is AEW's annual reckoning — where endurance, not momentum, decides who carries the company forward. The backbone of the event is the Continental Classic. AEW's round-robin tournament strips the product down to results and consequences. In 2025, those consequences revolve around Kazuchika Okada. As both Continental Champion and International Champion, Okada enters Worlds End as the Unified Champion. AEW has clarified the rules: only the Continental Championship is awarded through the tournament, league matches do not put titles on the line, and everything comes down to Worlds End. If Okada loses the Continental Championship, the unification ends. One night determines whether the Unified Championship continues to exist. The format is ruthless. Two semifinals and a final in one night, no recovery, no protection. Winning the Continental Classic means surviving the tournament and the pressure of immediate repetition. Worlds End also features a volatile AEW World Championship match. Samoa Joe defends against Swerve Strickland, Hangman Adam Page, and MJF in a four-way born from betrayal, unresolved claims, and opportunism. Joe holds the title through control. Swerve brings momentum. Page is chasing redemption. MJF enters by exploiting timing. In a match like this, dominance matters less than navigation. The women's division is a focal point as well. Kris Statlander defends the AEW Women's World Championship against Jamie Hayter in a clash built on identity and unfinished business, while Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron face Mercedes Moné and Athena in a defining test for the women's tag division. We also touch on WWE this week, as John Cena addressed the disappearance of Travis Scott and The Rock from WWE storylines, explaining that once those pieces were gone, the focus shifted immediately to adaptation rather than regret — a revealing look at how WWE pivots when plans change. Worlds End isn't about comfort. It's about clarity. By the final bell, champions will stand because they endured, not because they were protected. This is Episode 156 of Wrestling Tonight — where the year answers back.  

When things fall out of hand

This week on One Nation Radio, we're breaking down a huge week in pro wrestling with major names and even bigger implications. John Cena is back in the headlines, and we discuss what his latest appearance means for WWE now and moving forward. We also dig into Swerve Strickland's current run and why his momentum continues to feel different from anyone else in the game right now.Plus, MJF is back — and of course, chaos follows. We talk about the return, the promo, the direction AEW seems to be heading, and whether this version of MJF hits the same as before. As always, we connect the dots between booking, perception, and long-term storytelling across WWE and AEW.All that and more, with the real talk you only get on One Nation Radio.2026 - FOH Draft - https://payhip.com/b/qAdbZJohn Cena (10:11)Swerve (35:45)MJF (54:21)ONR's Fav Matches of 2025 (01:22:24)GET OFFICIAL SOCIAL SUPLEX PODCAST NETWORK GEAR FROM PRO WRESTLING TEES!Check out Social Suplex's columns, and the network's podcasts: One Nation Radio / Keepin' It Strong Style / All Things Elite / Imp's WWE Adventure / Wrestling Art with Chris Things / Tunnel Talk / The Trish and Sarah Wrestling Podcast / AEW Match Guide, available wherever you find podcasts. Follow us on Twitter/X: @RichLatta32, @JamesBoyd87, @SocialSuplex, @OneNationRadio Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SocialSuplex/Visit our website for news, columns, and podcasts: https://socialsuplex.com/Join the Social Suplex Discord Server: https://discord.gg/RBYFrPetFt/Join the Social Suplex community Facebook Group: The Wrestling (Squared) CircleSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/social-suplex-podcast-network/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What is up, friends!Tim and Tom are back, and we are still recovering from the absolute sensory overload that was AEW Dynamite: Holiday Bash. Manchester brought the energy, and Tony Khan brought the chaos.This week, we are breaking down a show that felt less like a weekly episode and more like a mini-PPV. The road to Worlds End has taken a sharp left turn, and honestly? We are here for the mess.In This Episode: We crack open the “Holiday Bash” and discuss everything from the main event picture to the mathematical headache of the Continental Classic.* The Devil is in the Details: Just when we thought the Worlds End main event was locked, MJF returns to cash in his chips. It is now a Fatal 4-Way (Joe vs. Swerve vs. Hangman vs. MJF), and we discuss all the new angles this presents. * The Million Dollar Broom: The Elite defeated the Don Callis Family to win $1 Million, but the real story is the tension between Okada and Takeshita. That post-match shove was louder than a V-Trigger.* C2 Math Class: The Continental Classic is coming down to the wire. Jon Moxley barely survived Roderick Strong, and PAC tied up the Gold League by taking down Kyle Fletcher. We also discuss some minor tweaks to the C2 we would like to see. * Tag Team Stability: FTR reminded us why they are the best, retaining against the Bang Bang Gang in a solid bout.* Dear Santa: We also do our yearly wish lists for Santa and talk about what we'd like to see in AEW next year!The Verdict This was an all-gas, no-brakes episode. While the 4-Way title match is controversial, the energy heading into Worlds End is undeniable. If you love chaotic storytelling and high-stakes wrestling, this was the episode for you.Join the Conversation: Did MJF ruin the vibe, or did he save the main event? Let us know in the comments or come hang out with us on Bluesky! This is a public episode.

On Episode 213 of The AEW-some Pod, the gang—Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico—goes three-hours deep on AEW's UK Holiday Bash as Dynamite and Collision take over Manchester's Co-op Live. The gang breaks down The Elite's million-dollar win over the Don Callis Family (and how Okada might hate his own team more than The Bucks), Pac's hometown heater against Kyle Fletcher to blow the Gold League wide open, and Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy grinding through Continental Classic wars with Roderick Strong and Mascara Dorada. They also dig into MJF's big return to crash the Worlds End contract signing with Joe, Hangman, and Swerve, Mercedes & Athena's march toward the Women's Tag Titles, Jamie Hayter's Collision homecoming and Sisters of Sin beatdown, plus FTR and the Bang Bang Gang delivering a sneaky tag-of-the-year candidate in the main event.

PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents a special Mailbag edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast with guest co-host Zack Heydorn from Brass Ring Media and Sports Illustrated. They cover these topics:John Cena tapping out and the fallout from it including whether WWE should work harder to make tapouts feel honorableShould Triple H even be on TV as a booker if fans are going to see it as an opportunity to critique his booking decisions? Should Paul Levesque just stop doing Q&As where he talks outside of storyline/cannon?Similarities and differences between the Roman Reigns-Jey Uso finish and the John Cena-Gunther finishAnalysis of the Lay of the Land in the Continental Classic and if it turns out that it's four heels in the final four, is that a bad thing?Why did WWE air The Miz talking positively about John Cena in an out-of-character video package when they also wanted him to have heel heat for his in-ring segment?Could MJF win the Dynamite Diamond Ring and add himself to the Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page, and who should win if it remains a three-way?Where does Tony Storm go from here? Should she be back in the singles title hunt?Should Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia get a serious heel tag team push given their heel heat?Could Eddie Kingston perhaps be a fourth man in the AEW World Title match at Worlds End and win the title, only for MJF to cost him with his Dynamite Diamond Ring?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.

The boys welcome Brian from the LJN podcast on. Also AI decided to write our show notes for this week.   Wrestling Figures and Personal Updates The hosts welcomed Brian from the Legendary Wrestling Figures podcast to discuss wrestling figures and catch up on his recent activities. Brian promoted his podcast and shared details about his pet cat, Lexington, and the songs he has created for it. The conversation concluded with plans to discuss Brian's recent painting projects in a future segment.   Custom Wrestling Figure Paint Projects Brian shared his recent painting projects, including customizing a Ron Simmons figure for Greg from the Man Bull Pod and transforming a Rick Martell figure for Drew's 5-year anniversary podcast episode. He detailed the specific paint and gear changes he made to each figure, emphasizing the challenges of working with different materials. Brian also discussed his excitement about the upcoming release of LJN wrestling figures, including Wave 3, which will make popular figures more accessible to fans at a lower price point.   LJN Figure Release Discussion The group discussed the upcoming release of new LJN figures from Mattel, with Brian sharing his excitement about the affordable price point and potential for detailed customization. They compared the new figures to original LJN and Big Rubber Guy versions, noting differences in materials and scale. Brian expressed hope for future releases, including a Mr. T figure and a more menacing Adrian Adonis redesign. Scott suggested adding characters from 80s wrestling teams like the Young Stallions and Boris Zukov to fill collection gaps.   Wrestling Action Figures Collectibles Discussion The group discussed various wrestling action figures and collectibles, including Latoonie figures, Road Warriors, and Ringside Collectibles pre-orders. Scott shared his wishlist items, including the Dudley's Ultimate 2-pack and a John Cena figure from the vault. Brian showed off some Jesse and Bundy figures he had collected, which impressed the others. They also mentioned a limited-time offer for Dory Funk Jr. figures at KWK, and briefly touched on a new Matt Cardona vs. Chris Jericho 2-pack from Jazzwares Vault.     Ringside Fest Product Announcements The group discussed new product announcements from Ringside Fest, including figures from the Monday Night War series and other releases. Scott shared details about various figures, including Steve Blackman, Sid Vicious, and the New Age Outlaws. They also covered Build-A-Figure releases and confirmed that Rick Rude would be a Build-A-Figure in a new suit. The team noted that some figures, like Cody and Penta, were part of the Defining Moments series.    AEW Toy Prices and Closures Jefry and Scott discussed the price point of a new Swerve action figure from AEW, priced at $60, and noted that tariffs were affecting toy prices. They also talked about Super7 closing two stores at the end of the year due to financial challenges, possibly related to tariffs. The conversation concluded with a discussion about a new Road Warrior Animal figure from Latoonie, which has a limited run of 100 units with distinctive Batman-inspired face paint.   Macho Man Wrestling Figure Plans The group discussed upcoming Mattel wrestling figures, focusing on potential Macho Man Randy Savage releases. They agreed that Macho Man's return would likely be announced around Christmas, with various looks being considered including his LJN, WrestleMania III, and neon green attire. Brian expressed a preference for a WrestleMania III-inspired figure with white tights and detailed boot stars, while Scott noted that Macho Man would slot into multiple lines including Ultimate Edition. The discussion also touched on New Jack's upcoming figure and the possibility of future releases based on video game appearances. Wrestling Figures and Collecting Discussion Scott, Jefry, and Brian discussed wrestling figures and games. They fact-checked information about a wrestling figure's gear and discussed potential future releases, including celebrity figures and retro sets. They also talked about their personal collecting habits and preferences. The conversation concluded with a brief mention of a wrestling video game. Nostalgic Arcade Wrestling Games Scott and Jefry discussed their favorite arcade wrestling games, with Scott expressing a fondness for WrestleFest due to its nostalgic value and the nostalgia of playing it with friends, despite holding a grudge against it for consuming his childhood money. They compared WrestleFest to its predecessor, WWF Superstars, noting the improved graphics and sound in WrestleFest. They also discussed the release of a modern iOS remake of WrestleFest, which Scott found disappointing. Brian shared his limited experience with both games, noting that neither held the same nostalgic value for him as they did for Scott and Jefry. Arcade Game Nostalgia Discussion The group discussed arcade games from their youth, with Brian, Scott, and Jefry sharing memories of playing NES Pro Wrestling, WrestleMania, and Spy Hunter. They also talked about the potential relaunch of Shakey's restaurants with 500 new locations, which excited Scott who fondly remembered the chain's pizza and games like Ikari Warriors. The conversation concluded with a detailed discussion about the arcade game WrestleFest, including its gameplay modes, critical reception, and its popularity compared to Street Fighter II in 1991.     Pre Orders: Big Rubber Guys - Collectmajor.com Big Bad Toy Store   - Rush - Dralistico - Dragon Lee   Fig Collections - shop.figurecollections.com The patriot Buff Bagwell   Zombie Sailor - (zombiesailor.com) - Zombie is also on BBTS La Toonie Road Warrior Everest figure KWK Shopkwk.com use code Fullyposeable to get 10 percent off your order.

The All Elite Wrapup Predictions Game.We made our picks. We talked a big game. And now, one of us has to pay the ultimate price.Tune in to the livestream tonight to witness the shame firsthand.

The 2025 Continental Classic (C2) kicks off tonight, and the stakes are already personal.Okada vs. Fletcher (Gold League): The Rainmaker defends his G1/C2 legacy against his own Don Callis Family member, Kyle Fletcher.

Andrew Zarian is back with another episode of Wrestling Observer Live Sunday edition, talking about the latest professional wrestling news. In an AEW-heavy episode, I'm back talking about all the fallout from Saturday night's Full Gear, where new champions were crowned, with Samoa Joe and Mark Briscoe winning titles. I discuss the length of the show, the amount of blood during several matches, and how it impacted the crowd's interest in the women's title match. I also discuss the finish of the main event and the return of Swerve Strickland and the unserious nature of Prince Nana as he came out with Swerve. Plus, a quick Survivor Series preview before next weekend's PLE and more!

AEW BLOOD & GUTS HISTORY (2021 to 2025) From Jacksonville to Greensboro, we're breaking down every war that's painted the cage red. Mongo and Emily walk through all five Blood and Guts matches, from MJF's infamous shove off the cage in 2021 to Swerve leading Team AEW in 2024, and now the first ever Women's edition in 2025. We cover every key moment, rivalry, and record from AEW's most chaotic tradition.

Swerve Strickland's career so far has been so varied and prolific, that he has more than earned his status as a main event player. In this episode, we go over his early life, his start in wrestling, the indie days, Lucha Underground and his runs in WWE and AEW.

US stocks and gold sink, while meme stocks swerve.

My *utterly electric* convo with one of the great non-fiction writers and scholars of our time, Stephen Greenblatt. Stephen is the Pulitzer Prize winning/bestselling author of some of my favorite books EVER about literary history (including The Swerve), and he's out now with Dark Renaissance, about the troubled, complex genius of Shakespeare's top rival, Chris Marlowe. We discussed (1) how Marlowe, the same age as the Bard, was a far more important writer than Shakespeare when he was stabbed to death at 29; (2) how Elizabethan London was a North Korea-like tinderbox of political repression and censorship; and (3) how Greenblatt's entire career has been guided by a profound desire to communicate with the great spirits long deceased. Order Mark's novel Bunyan and Henry. All episodes of The Thoughtful Bro aired live originally on A Mighty Blaze. The Thoughtful Bro is proudly sponsored by Libro.fm and Writer's Bone.

On this week's episode of I AM HOME, our hosts Tyler, Becca and Hilary are sitting down with Ava Martin, Pan-Am Cup gold medalist, AVCA Player of the Year honoree and Creighton Volleyball star. She takes us inside the highs of championship moments, the grind of collegiate athletics and the rituals that keep her grounded. Off the court, Ava shares how family, hometown roots and personal style help her create a space that truly feels like home. Plus, we play a rapid-fire round of “Serve or Swerve” to find out where she stands on everything from pumpkin spice season to 90s throwbacks. Resources: nfm.com/podcast

Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare were both born in 1564, rising from working-class origins finding success in the new world of the theater. But before Shakespeare transformed English drama, Marlowe had already done so—with Tamburlaine the Great and the introduction of blank verse to the stage. As Stephen Greenblatt argues in his new biography, Dark Renaissance: The Dangerous Times and Fatal Genius of Shakespeare's Greatest Rival, virtually everything in the Elizabethan theater can be seen as “pre- and post-Tamburlaine.” Shakespeare learned from Marlowe, borrowed from him, and even tried to outdo him. Beyond his theatrical innovation, Marlowe was a poet, provocateur, and likely spy whose turbulent life was cut tragically short. In this episode, Greenblatt explores Marlowe's audacious works, his entanglements with power and secrecy, and his lasting influence on Shakespeare and the stage.
