For years, some speculated on and even wished for a WWE without Vince McMahon at the forefront. Fast forward to the now, and things look very different after an initially glossy honeymoon period— with ridiculous ticket prices, declining ratings, a botched up WrestleMania and an internal feud between The Rock and Triple H, that's likely to have major consequences.
In this episode, Anthony Thomas and Joseph Numbers dive into various topics including the impact of Canadian wildfires, the future of Triple H in WWE, and the upcoming Money in the Bank event. They discuss the dynamics within WWE's leadership, the potential shifts in wrestler contracts, and speculate on match outcomes for Money in the Bank. The episode also covers the latest in the wrestling industry with some candid thoughts on recent events and personalities.03:11 Business Talk and WWE Changes04:08 Vince McMahon's Stock Cash-In08:57 R-Truth's OnlyFans and Convention Signings16:58 Kevin Owens' Future and WWE Ambassadors24:37 Triple H's Role and WWE's Future40:26 The Role of Writers in Wrestling53:04 The Impact of Fan Reactions01:08:39 Stephanie McMahon's Podcast Guest01:15:23 Money in the Bank Preview01:15:56 Men's Championship Match Predictions01:17:39 El Grande Americano's Secret01:24:01 Women's Championship Match Predictions01:28:04 Becky Lynch's Last Chance Match01:34:51 Cody Rhodes and Jay Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul01:38:40 WWE vs. AEW Rivalry01:42:52 Concluding Thoughts and AnnouncementsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

After a busy weekend on the road for your host, Mike McGuire returns with another look back at the week in wrestling, with the late-breaking news that after his latest SEVENTEEN YEAR run, Ron "The Truth" Killings, aka R-Truth, is no longer a WWE Superstar.

We will discuss Carlito more next week, but this week we focus on R-Truth, as Joe Aguinaldo and Mike look back at some of their favourite moments as fans. The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is back to talk business, including the shocking announcement that former WWE Head of Talent Relations, John Laurenaitis was dropped from the high-profile human trafficking lawsuit involving Vince McMahon.

I personally won't be doing a flip, but we now know about the news of Mr. People Power himself, John Laurinitis, deciding to corroborate with former WWE employee, Janel Grant, and her legal team, thus flipping on Vince McMahon in the case against him. We discuss all of the particulars that we know at this very point and Mr. YLP Himself provides his thoughts on what he thinks this could mean moving forward. Also on Episode 429 of the YLP Podcast, Mr. YLP Himself discusses his thoughts on the major news from last week, of WWE deciding to move WrestleMania 42 from its original location of New Orleans, and bringing it back to Las Vegas. Mr. YLP breaks down the main reasons why they're making the move back to Sin City and why he believes it's a bad idea for WWE to have made the call. And as per usual, the WWE premium live event is so insane for this summer, that we forgot Money In The Bank was taking place next Saturday, so that means a preview and predictions for next week's PLE, and the game that's still sweeping the YLP Realm, Process of Elimination!EMAIL ME AT: younglionsperspective@gmail.comFOLLOW ME ON: Instagram - @ylp_podcast | X/TikTok - @YLPerspective

Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
The wrestling business is built on loyalty – until it isn't. When news broke that John Laurinaitis had been removed from Janelle Grant's lawsuit and was now cooperating against WWE and Vince McMahon, wrestling legend Teddy Long didn't mince words, calling him a "coward" who turned on the man who made him somebody.Drawing from his personal experiences with Laurinaitis, Teddy reveals how power was abused behind the scenes, stating bluntly, "I was there and I was one of the guys that he abused." This raw honesty sets the tone for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on wrestling's power dynamics when legal troubles arise.The rumors of Vince McMahon potentially buying WWE back sparked lively speculation, with Teddy offering surprising insight: "If it was me, I wouldn't want WWE back. I would buy and get my own company with a new brand, new name and start fresh." Calling McMahon "a genius" who "doesn't go down without a fight," Teddy predicts we haven't seen the last of wrestling's most controversial figure.We tackle the question many fans are asking: is there too much wrestling content today? With WWE, AEW, TNA, and ROH all competing for viewership, Teddy believes we've reached oversaturation. He ranks the current companies from best to worst, offering candid assessments that might surprise you. The conversation reveals concerns about whether there's enough elite talent to sustain quality programming across all these promotions.Throughout this episode, Teddy shares unforgettable stories from his decades in the business, including a hilarious travel mishap with Jacqueline that led to relentless ribbing from JBL and Ron Simmons. His name association game provides genuine reactions to wrestling personalities from Big Boss Man to Jim Cornette, giving listeners authentic glimpses into wrestling's colorful backstage world.Join us at River City Wrestling Con in St. Augustine, Florida on June 7-8, where Teddy will be doing a special Q&A panel with Mike Chioda.

Brim, Kim and Mr. Greer are back at it again. Apart from all the usual shenanigans, the gang chats about everything pop culture with all the trimmings including Kim's pocket poop bags (for the dog silly), and how the Flash movie wasn't too bad after all. The cast talks about Bad Thoughts on Netflix, how a woman won $83.5 million in a Texas Lottery, and how the Lottery is refusing to pay her out. The crew also discusses the guy in France who discovered 4 billion euros worth of a gold deposit on his land and how just like that... the government took it from him, how Vince McMahon is rumoured to want to buy WWE back, wondering who Amber Turd's baby daddy is, and how to get your Hollywood Star in Hollywood. The cast chats about 50 Cent wearing a 'Free Diddy' shirt to laugh at Diddy, how a guys eye exploded in a slap fight, and how pooping in airplanes should be a crime. They discuss the premiere of And Just Like That (May 29th at 9pm EST on HBO MAX), the upcoming National BBQ Festival and Greer's take on the new (and old) uffy the Vampire Slayer.
