Lee Houston and David Burton open the discussion by noting that the WWE roster is currently on tour in Italy, shifting the usual timing of the broadcast.The main topic of the conversation centers on a recent major Lucha Libre AAA event that featured a high-stakes "Mask vs. Mask" match. The hosts discuss the logistics of finding the broadcast on YouTube, guiding listeners on how to differentiate between the live Spanish version and the taped English version. They then break down the climax of the match, where the loser was forced to unmask and was revealed to be Chad Gable.David highlights the bout as a strong contender for "Match of the Year," while Lee notes the narrative similarities to classic wrestling storylines. This prompts a nostalgic breakdown of the famous 2003 WWE storyline where Hulk Hogan performed under a mask as "Mr. America" despite everyone knowing his true identity, leading to Vince McMahon's ultimate quest to expose and fire him.(Part 2 following soon)brought to you by Backup Deliveries and More, LLC.

Derek Champagne talks with George Barrios, former co-president of WWE, about the deal he made to reshape the global company, his public firing by Vince McMahon, the future of the sports industry, and his approach to leadership (and coping with public failure). Barrios tells his story in his new book Sometimes Wrong but Never in Doubt. ABOUT SOMETIMES WRONG BUT NEVER IN DOUBTAt a time when leadership is under scrutiny and industries are being reshaped at breakneck speed, stories of bold decision-making and personal reinvention have never felt more essential. Readers are hungry for narratives that go beyond corporate gloss—stories that show how transformative deals actually unfold, how leaders make high-stakes decisions, and how grit still propels people to the highest levels of business. In SOMETIMES WRONG BUT NEVER IN DOUBT: How a Cuban Kid from Queens Transformed WWE (Skyhorse Publishing; June 2, 2026), George Barrios—son of Cuban immigrants, former co-president of WWE, and architect of the largest transaction in sports history—offers exactly that kind of story. With unfiltered honesty and cinematic detail, Barrios traces his journey from a cramped Queens apartment to the boardrooms where he helped reshape a global entertainment company. Told with the humor, swagger, and introspection of a leader who has lived many careers in one lifetime, the book blends memoir and business insight to reveal how an outsider learned to trust his instincts, move decisively, and lead through uncertainty. Barrios brings readers inside the world of WWE: from his twelve-year partnership with Vince McMahon, to the media-rights revolution that redefined the company, to the personal and professional fallout of being fired in front of the entire industry. But the story reaches far beyond wrestling. It is equally a story of immigration, family resilience, cultural identity, and the relentless pursuit of upward mobility. Barrios reflects on:· High-stakes leadership, including how he learned to take bold action despite backlash, uncertainty, and public scrutiny.· The making of a massive sports deal, and the pressures, strategy, and behind-the-scenes dynamics that shaped an industry-defining negotiation.· Immigrant grit and the American Dream, and how his parents' escape from Castro's Cuba shaped his path and worldview.· Reinvention after public failure, including the firing that could have ended his career and the personal reckoning that followed.· The cultural forces inside major entertainment companies, with unvarnished insight into ego, power, and the real cost of winning. Written with the immediacy of a ringside story and the heart of a family saga, SOMETIMES WRONG BUT NEVER IN DOUBT is more than a business memoir. It is a testament to risk-taking, reinvention, and the belief that anyone—regardless of where they begin—can shape their own future.Order book here: https://georgebarrios.com/Business Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576

Hey Yo! This week on the show we spent some time reminiscing about the glory days of GCW while we talked about Mox vs. Gage from back in 2021. It was a great time for the company. On the retro side of things we have gotten past the 2002 Judgement Day show where we saw a new Undisputed Champion crowned as The Undertaker won the strap from Hulk Hogan, who tried to hang it up after, but Vince McMahon had other plans. Cheers!
Before he was ever taken seriously as a politician, Donald Trump was very much taken seriously in the world of wrestling.His relationship with WWE stretches back as far as the 1980s - he went on to headline Wrestlemania and even challenged founder Vince McMahon to a match during a running feud.But what if wrestling was where Trump learned how to win the White House? Reality-defying performances, smack talk, and stunts are, after all, quintessentially Trumpian techniques.Munya Chawawa thinks that Trump's origin story in politics might start in the ring - and came into the studio to discuss why.Later, it was announced today that net migration has fallen by almost half, to its lowest level since the Covid pandemic. But will Keir Starmer be able to claim any credit for it?The News Agents is a Global Production.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

On this week's My World with Jeff Jarrett, Jeff and Conrad dive headfirst into one of the most intriguing and unpredictable conversations yet where reality, speculation, and "what if" collide in a BIG way. Jeff opens up about the story behind the MVP main event, calling it a symbolic "thank you card" to Gina Carano, and explains the deeper meaning behind the moment that had fans buzzing. From there, the conversation takes a fascinating turn as the guys explore the possibility, however unlikely, of Vince McMahon getting involved in MVP. Is it pure fantasy, or is there a world where the unthinkable could happen? Then, Jeff gets personal as he reveals what he considers the BIGGEST "what if" of his entire career, offering a rare look into the crossroads that could have changed everything. And in a can't miss segment, Jeff steps back into 1986 for a high stakes game of fantasy signings, four contracts, one decision, and a potentially massive payoff. Who does he choose? What's behind his choice?

This episode of Kliq This finds Kevin Nash in a remarkably candid and fiery mood as he transitions from the serene shores of Lake Michigan to the high-stakes corporate drama currently unfolding in the wrestling world. While he shares lighthearted tales of family trips to the tulip festival and the Detroit zoo, the legendary "Big Sexy" quickly pivots to the heavy-hitting news of massive pay cuts and executive bonuses within TKO. His unfiltered perspective provides a rare look at the friction between old-school wrestling mentalities and the new corporate hierarchy. The conversation dives deep into the strategic shifts occurring at the top of the industry, specifically questioning the creative autonomy of Triple H amidst a changing landscape. Nash doesn't hold back his thoughts on the rumored salary reductions for veteran talent and the absence of top stars like Roman Reigns from upcoming schedules. By dissecting the "corporate wrestling" phenomenon, the show explores whether the soul of the business is being sacrificed for the sake of balance sheets and shareholder meetings. Beyond the boardroom battles, the duo pays tribute to the monumental legacy of the late Ted Turner, reflecting on his role as a maverick who revolutionized cable television. They also tackle fan questions ranging from the potential for a wrestling union to the finer points of modern character work. This installment serves as a provocative analysis of where the industry stands today, blending historical reverence with a sharp, contemporary critique of the powers that be.
