Nick and Myron are back with another episode of the Tapped Out Wrestling Podcast, digging into some of the biggest business and industry stories changing the landscape of pro wrestling.Could WWE's relationship with Disney become much bigger than the current ESPN deal? With rumors involving Disney properties, special events, streaming content and even potential destination experiences, we look at how TKO continues to attach WWE to some of the biggest companies in entertainment.Japan is also becoming an interesting battleground. WWE is heading to Netflix while AEW has announced a new home on Hulu Japan. We discuss the very different approaches both companies are taking as they try to grow internationally without necessarily replacing Japan's established wrestling scene.Plus, AEW All Out has sold out despite WWE and AAA running Worlds Collide in the Chicago market on the same night. Does that show how strong AEW's core audience really is, and could head-to-head scheduling become much more common?We also debate the controversy surrounding Stephanie Vaquer's Women's World Championship victory over Liv Morgan in Chile. WWE made the complete match exclusive to Club WWE, leaving some fans asking whether major storyline moments and championship changes should ever be locked behind another paid service.Then we turn our attention back to the independent scene with Indy Rewind, covering the latest from 1FW, Kraken Pro, AWE and ACTION, before Making the Drive previews a packed weekend of wrestling throughout Georgia. Are WWE's corporate partnerships making the company stronger than ever? Can AEW continue succeeding when WWE counterprograms its biggest events? And where should WWE draw the line between premium exclusive content and something every fan should be able to see?

Gail Kim, Killer Kross, Dasha Gonzalez, Scarlett Bordeaux, Allysin Kay, Christy Hemme and Marti Belle were among those reportedly backstage in Athens, Georgia, while Rebel reunited with Britt Baker for The Waiting Room and appeared again during the six-woman tag team match. TKO President and COO Mark Shapiro says WWE and UFC have "resized" talent compensation following their massive new media-rights agreements with ESPN and Paramount. We examine what that language actually tells us about talent pay, along with Shapiro's comments on WWE's developmental system, premium experiences and his belief that attendance has become "a social currency." WWE President Nick Khan has responded to fan complaints surrounding WWE Premium Live Events on ESPN Unlimited, acknowledging that there is "some truth" to accessibility concerns. We discuss the difference between criticism of WWE creative and legitimate consumer frustration, especially as Mark Shapiro says WWE PLEs are performing "well" on ESPN but should soon be "doing much better" as distribution expands. Nick Khan also revealed that WWE is already "across the creative" for WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the first WrestleMania held outside the United States or Canada. WWE is also planning official viewing experiences in New York and other markets, further expanding WrestleMania into a global weekend even for fans who will not travel to Riyadh. The AEW, CMLL and NJPW relationships continue to produce major crossover matches, with Claudio Castagnoli accepting Shingo Takagi's challenge for NJPW Destruction in Kobe on September 27. Meanwhile, AEW is sending PAC, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Bandido, Komander and Divine Dominion to Arena México as CMLL goes head-to-head with the second night of AAA Triplemanía this Sunday. CMLL's 93rd Aniversario has also added Jeff Jarrett vs. Blue Panther, giving the September 18 event another unique attraction. The loaded card also includes Hechicero defending against Claudio Castagnoli and Zack Sabre Jr., Andrade El Idolo vs. Volador Jr., Bandido vs. Soberano Jr. and Titán defending against Komander. Maple Leaf Pro will crown an undisputed Canadian Champion at Northern Rising on October 3, with Josh Alexander returning from injury to face interim champion Stu Grayson. Adam Copeland vs. Steve Maclin is also set as MLP continues using major outside talent while building its own identity. We also preview the week ahead across WWE, AEW, TNA, NXT, AAA and NWA. Raw in Mexico City features Roman Reigns vs. Penta and Chad Gable vs. Dragon Lee, while SmackDown has CM Punk vs. Sami Zayn, Chelsea Green vs. Nia Jax, Paige vs. Nikki Bella and two AAA championship matches.

Heute im Angebot: Rueckblick auf auf Sunday Night's Main Event.
Sunday Night's Main Event came to Atlanta — but what happened inside the ring may only be part of the bigger story.This week on the Tapped Out Podcast, Nick and Myron look at the fallout from WWE's latest major event and what it may have revealed about the company's future. From the way WWE is positioning some of its biggest stars to the growing mix of wrestling, music and celebrity involvement, is TKO starting to redefine what a major WWE event is supposed to look like?Then we dig into some bigger questions surrounding the WWE roster.A new round of developmental releases has us wondering whether the entire philosophy behind NXT, LFG and the Performance Center is changing. How much time should a prospect really get to develop — and what does winning one of WWE's own talent competitions actually mean if nothing is guaranteed afterward?The business side gets even more interesting as reports of major contract reductions collide with WWE still handing out new multi-year deals to other established names. Is TKO simply cutting costs, or has WWE become much more selective about exactly which wrestlers it believes are worth premium money?We also take another look at AEW, where the numbers tell a more complicated story than some of the conversation surrounding the company. Is AEW healthier than people think — and are its biggest events becoming more important than what happens in the arenas every week?PLUS…

The UK's latest boxing prodigy is rapidly climbing through the ranks: Moses Itauma. Many of his peers are already touting him as the next big thing. After an undefeated amateur career and a perfect start to life as a professional, Itauma has quickly become one of heavyweight boxing's most exciting prospects.

The show began with news of a fatal plane crash in Alaska that claimed the lives of all eight people aboard a charter flight headed to a remote military radar site, prompting an ongoing federal investigation into what happened. The crew also discussed actress Keke Palmer’s heartfelt comments about Jennifer Lopez, revealing how working with the superstar on Hustlers transformed her perception of Lopez and led to a close mentor-like relationship despite years of public criticism directed at the singer and actress. The conversation shifted to boxing greatness as undisputed champion Claressa Shields joined the show fresh off her dominant sixth-round TKO victory over Kaye Scott, a win that reclaimed the WBC and WBA middleweight titles after Shields dropped nearly 40 pounds to return to the division. Shields opened up about her training discipline, relationship with Papoose, future goals, music ambitions, and life beyond the ring. The crew also examined the latest developments in the Karmelo Anthony case, where his legal team is seeking a new trial after his murder conviction, arguing key evidence and courtroom decisions affected the outcome. Meanwhile, Gary’s Tea highlighted Zoe Saldaña’s remarkable rise to becoming the highest-grossing actor in film history, with her movies surpassing $15 billion worldwide thanks to blockbuster franchises including Avatar, Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

This week on the Tapped Out Podcast, Nick and Myron break down another busy week in pro wrestling with a heavy focus on WWE business moves, AEW's impact, and another packed stretch of Georgia indy wrestling.The guys start with reports that WWE SmackDown may be returning to three hours in January 2027. Is this a move that helps storytelling and gives more talent TV time, or is it really about USA Network wanting more live WWE content during WrestleMania season?Then they discuss the rumors that WWE house shows could be expanding again into smaller markets like Bangor, Huntsville, Fort Myers, Portland, Youngstown, and more. Could this be WWE finding a smarter, leaner version of live events after cutting back in recent years? Or is TKO looking for more return on investment from talent already under contract?Nick and Myron also dive into the Bayley to AEW rumor confusion. Is there real contract drama happening, or is Bayley just having fun watching wrestling fans chase social media clues?This week's Georgia wrestling recap includes quick reactions and story takeaways from:1FW – Gainesville, GAACTION Wrestling – Tyrone, GA1FW – Jefferson, GASouthern Fried Championship Wrestling – Monroe, GAGeorgia Premier Wrestling – Jasper, GAAWE – Marietta, GA1FW – Watkinsville, GANick and Myron also preview another loaded weekend across Georgia, including:Friday, August 21SCA – Royston, GASaturday, August 221FW – Marietta, GASFCW – Loganville, GABlood & Honey Series – Atlanta, GAOSWA – Cornelia, GATotal Aggression – Eastanollee, GASunday, August 231FW – McDonough, GAScrappy Championship Wrestling – Elberton, GA
Drew and Will chat with Sean Finley about everything TKO. We dig into the details of the schedule, competitors, venue and the 16 year history of the event!
We kick things off with the Lakers being sold again, including the latest on Jeanie Buss and whether she's actually giving up her piece of the franchise. Then we discuss Russell Westbrook's retirement, his legacy, and the bigger question of whether NBA legends like Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, and Allen Iverson were pushed out of the league before they were ready. Plus, Skip Bayless has some thoughts on Westbrook's Hall of Fame case. The NBA Christmas Day schedule is officially loaded, so we pick the matchup we're most excited for. Then we jump into the NFL preseason, discussing what we're watching for from our favorite teams, Jaxson Dart's early visit to the blue tent, and the ongoing Deshaun Watson vs. Shedeur Sanders conversation. In Rule Breakers, we get into Stephen A. Smith receiving the thumbs-down award from the NABJ, Jayden Daniels sending a cease-and-desist letter to LSU Nick Sirianni reportedly using ChatGPT to help connect with his players, and Claressa Shields continuing to dominate with another TKO victory. And, of course, Beav and Felix discuss how terrrible (or not) the movie 'Obsession' was. Enjoy!
