The Fight Factory Wrestling Podcast is back with a vengeance this week as Dave Sturchio, Tommy Dee and Chris Payne are back in studio to chat all things "War On The Shore 3" ! We go over the card and some of the updates happening and then dive into some WWE and AEW talk. Brock Lesnar returned to the WWE to attack Oba Femi! Are they losing faith in Oba or is this the "3 Match Plan" some have predicted with Italy and SummerSlam rounding them out! MJF was recently on Ariel Helwani's show and spoke about not being able to achieve GOAT status if he jumped ship to WWE. Is there validity in that due to the recent "debuts" of other AEW stars jumping ship?! We discuss that and so much more!! #WWE #AEW #FightFactoryWrestlingPodcast #Podcast

The war between WCW and WWE was reaching its boiling point.  Bret Hart would challenge The Undertaker for the WWE Championship, with the controversial Shawn Michaels as the special referee.  Tensions were high, and the show titled "Hart and Soul" brought a series of stories and stipulations to a talent-stacked card. Despite the talent and star power, the show struggled, and would also play scene to one of the most damaging and defining injuries to a Superstar in history.  Join Stefan Bennett as he walks us through the time as well as the events leading up to and following the card in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Joining Stefan for this episode, Celebrate Wrestling's Mike McGuire offers his perspective and memories from the time, and you're welcome to share yours as well! Share your memories and thoughts on the Celebrate Wrestling discussion page!  

To end our short run talking about Shawn Michaels and begin our short run talking about (sigh) Hulk Hogan, we're watching along with their "classic" match at SummerSlam 2005. It's remembered as the night when HBK made Hogan look terrible by overselling everything, but is that reputation fair? And is the match any good? Join us and find out.

Brock Lesnar made a shocking return on the WWE Monday Night RAW on May 18, 2026. Many WWE fans thought that Brock Lesnar had retired at Wrestlemania after he lost to Oba Femi and left his boots and gloves in the ring. Instead, today Oba Femi was conducting and open challenge and Brock Lesnar attacked him from behind during Oba Femi's entrance. Now it looks like they will have a rematch at WWE Clash In Italy. What does the future look like for Brock Lesnar at Summerslam? What will happen between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi -- and how does this impact Brock Lesnar's potential retirement match? We have so many questions.

TKO doesn't care about wrestling — they care about profit. From 50% pay cuts to silencing content creators to releasing 20-year veterans like Kofi Kingston without a word, WWE is feeling less like a wrestling company by the week. We're officially inducting TKO into the Haters Club VIP section, and we've got receipts.Here's what we get into on Episode 131:- Why WWE's crackdown on reaction streamers and fan footage is going to backfire badly- Celebrating Darby Allin's AEW title reign and Sami Zayn's hilarious breakdown on SmackDown- Honoring the New Day legacy after their unceremonious exit from WWE- Breaking down the Backlash PLE card — and why it feels like a random SmackDown episode- Kayode's bold prediction: Oba Femi wins the title at SummerSlam or he becomes the next RybackSubscribe for weekly wrestling talk!

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson pull back the curtain on some of wrestling's hottest business topics and biggest misconceptions. Eric explains why he believes Ted Turner is one of the biggest reasons WWE is still thriving today, and how the Monday Night Wars forever changed the industry. He also dives into the reality of talent contracts, discussing why a WWE deal never guaranteed The New Day lifetime job security and why, sometimes, audiences simply move on from an act. The guys welcome gimmick attorney, Michael Dockins to the show. Mike breaks down the often misunderstood 90-day non-compete clause, revealing how it actually works behind the scenes, while Mike and Eric analyzes the new "delightfully vague" language appearing in modern talent agreements. Plus, Bischoff gives his take on the myth of "no-cut contracts" and why guaranteed deals aren't always what fans think they are. Business takes center stage as Eric praises TKO Group Holdings's partnership with ESPN, calling it a brilliant marketing move for the future of wrestling media. He also reflects on the financial disasters of World Championship Wrestling house shows, revealing just how much money the company burned during its peak years. And in one of the wildest conversations yet, Eric explores how OpenAI and artificial intelligence could help shape future wrestling storylines before 83 Weeks actually uses ChatGPT to fantasy book the main event of SummerSlam!       ROCKET MONEY - Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

NXT Premium Live Events are moving to The CW in the U.S., with weekly episodes and PLEs also headed to ESPN Unlimited, while next-day episodes will arrive on The Roku Channel this fall. WWE is clearly trying to make NXT more accessible, more sports-adjacent, and easier to find across multiple platforms. We also break down Stephanie Vaquer's legitimate second-degree AC sprain after the Raw angle with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Vaquer is expected to be out for the foreseeable future, with hope but no guarantee that she could return by SummerSlam. Talla Tonga is also sidelined with an undisclosed injury but has not been released and is expected back fairly soon. The WWE AI conversation heated up after backlash to an NXT video package for Sol Ruca and Zaria, coming just after Mark Shapiro confirmed WWE has been using AI in connection with storylines, audience data, creative direction, touring, and revenue strategy. The concern is simple: fans do not want wrestling to feel generated, synthetic, or stripped of its human emotion. Outside WWE, Carlos Silva addressed TNA pulling talent from approved indie matches involving AEW stars, including Nic Nemeth vs. MJF and Leon Slater vs. Ricochet. Silva framed the move as protecting TNA's business, while Matt Hardy said the talent were compensated and MJF publicly accused Silva of lying. We also cover SmackDown's yearly format change, with three-hour shows running from January through June before returning to two hours from July through December. AJ Lee's current WWE run appears to be finished for now after WrestleMania 42, though a future return remains possible. AEW may be adding a new July pay-per-view called Redemption, with Montreal reportedly the favorite host city. If finalized, it would bring AEW to ten yearly pay-per-views for the first time. New Japan also heads into Wrestling Dontaku 2026 with major AEW involvement, including Will Ospreay in six-man action, Andrade El Idolo challenging Yota Tsuji, and Konosuke Takeshita defending the NJPW World TV Championship. We also discuss Janel Grant launching an Instagram account tied to the broader conversation around workplace NDAs and Connecticut Raised Bill S.B. 355, ahead of a key June 10 ruling in her case. And we close the news section with a heartfelt acknowledgment of Rebel, Tanea Brooks, who revealed she has been diagnosed with terminal ALS after a long medical journey. Then we look ahead to Raw, NXT, AEW Dynamite, TNA Impact, SmackDown, AEW Collision, AAA on Fox, NWA Powerrr, and the upcoming 2026 PPV and PLE calendar. Episode 184 is about access, control, uncertainty, and change across the wrestling industry. WWE is expanding NXT's reach while facing injury and AI questions. TNA and AEW tensions are spilling into public view. AEW continues to scale. NJPW leans into crossover appeal. And the week reminds us that behind every headline are real people navigating real consequences.
