PWTorch editor Wade Keller is joined by PWTorch's Joshua White to discuss the Jan. 15 edition of TNA Impact including analysis their premiere episode on AMC and how, in almost every way (but not every way), it was a swing and a miss with brand-celebrations rather than framing their top stars and building the main event, with one trope and cliche and low-rent segment after another before the main event, a list of castoffs from other companies and non-celebrities and poorly introduced TNA-originals. That said, they also discuss the positive of Santana winning the TNA Title, the strength of the Santino-Daria G.M. segment, and other strengths to build on or expand in the future. There is live chat, caller, and email interactions throughout plus Wade explains what TNA should have done in terms of the first few minutes of the show and the overall format to stand out in the crowded marketplace.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pwtorch-dailycast--3276210/support.

What We Learned Without a Game In the offseason life comes at you fast. The Detroit Lions are sitting on a 9-8 season and a clear mandate. Fix the roster. Get better. Get back to the postseason in 2026. The belief remains that Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes have earned the benefit of the doubt after four straight winning years. The NFL does not wait. Results matter now. Grey underscores the league's ruthless pace. Look around at Pete Carroll, Jonathan Gannon, Brian Daboll, Raheem Morris, Brian Callahan, Kevin Stefanski, Mike McDonald, and John Harbaugh. Tenures shift. Reputations shift. If the Lions miss the mark this offseason, the heat rises. Campbell and Holmes get the one-year reprieve to steer this roster. If the step forward does not happen, that seat gets hot in a hurry. Extra Time and the Staff Fix Exiting early stings, but the calendar helps. No playoff prep means time and attention can move to the coaching staff. The recent past showed how that can slip. John Morton arrived and then exited. Now the Lions need an offensive coordinator, with other staff decisions on deck. January without game plans opens hours for interviews, evaluation, and structure. This is where detail matters. Identify the offensive identity. Match it with the next play caller. Build the room the right way. The roster has talent. The Lions must align scheme and staff to it. The extra weeks should sharpen choices and shorten mistakes. That is the kind of edge this organization needs to reclaim momentum in the NFL. Across Lake Michigan: Ben's Bears Change the Math Ben might be a problem. He is winning playoff games with the Chicago Bears. He is teaching a young roster how to close even when the stat sheet says otherwise. Turnovers keep showing up. Point differential keeps getting defied. The Packers went down in flames, followed by that overdone WrestleMania handshake. It was funny. It was also a warning. There is a reality check built in. The Bears still have the NFC West gauntlet ahead. A sophomore slump can happen. Luck on turnovers can flip. But for a first season with a young quarterback who needed psychological repair, this is real progress. It changes the neighborhood. The Lions cannot count on drift in the division to help. They have to set the pace. Draft Wish List, Early and Different The draft talk has started. The show teased an early wish list. It is different than most, and it is early by design. The Lions need targeted pieces, not noise. The approach reflects the offseason theme. Clear eyes. Tight priorities. No wasted motion. Detroit has the time right now. Use it, and 2026 remains in play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRExA5Bann4 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #dancampbell #bradholmes #offensivecoordinator #johnmorton #hotseat #postseasonin2026 #chicagobears #turnovers #pointdifferential #nfcwest #greenbaypackers #mikemcdonald #johnharbaugh Learn more about your ad choices.

Few careers in professional wrestling are defined by constant reinvention quite like JDC's. From the moment the world met Fandango on the grandest stage, to the unexpected chemistry of his tag team run with Tyler Breeze, and now to his grittier, more grounded chapter in TNA Wrestling, JDC joins us for a candid conversation about identity, longevity, and knowing when it's time to walk away.

Welcome to Episode 161 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers. Use code TAVERN for 20 percent off. Acefield Retro and Chad are back this week, and there is a lot to talk through as WWE, AEW, NXT, and TNA all continue to feel like they are in the middle of major transitions rather than arriving at clean conclusions. WWE drives most of the conversation again, not because of one isolated moment, but because of how many significant pieces are moving at the same time. Drew McIntyre capturing the WWE Championship in Berlin, CM Punk surviving a defining title defense on Raw's Netflix anniversary, and the looming Royal Rumble in a stadium that is still under construction all point to a company comfortable operating under pressure. Between Raw, SmackDown, and the way NXT talent is being elevated, WWE feels less interested in overexplaining its choices and more focused on letting outcomes speak for themselves as the road to WrestleMania comes into view. NXT, in particular, feels like it is clearly handing the keys to the next era. Oba Femi vacating the NXT Championship, titles changing hands, and open acknowledgment of roster movement make it clear this is not a quiet reset. It is a deliberate handoff. Established names are moving on, new names are being asked to step up immediately, and the brand is leaning into the uncertainty that comes with that shift. The instability is intentional, and it is creating urgency across the show. AEW approaches the week from a different angle. Instead of accelerating everything at once, the company leans into timing and restraint. Mercedes Moné stepping away, Jay White remaining sidelined, and stories being allowed to pause rather than peak all at once give the product a different rhythm. Absence becomes part of the narrative, and patience is treated as a feature rather than a flaw. TNA also finds itself at a meaningful crossroads. The company's debut on AMC marks a major step forward in visibility, while Genesis looms as a test of whether that momentum can carry through on a bigger stage. With championships on the line and long-running threads converging, Genesis feels less like a standalone event and more like a statement about where TNA sees itself heading in 2026. Episode 161 is not about chasing headlines or ranking moments. It is about reading the landscape as it exists right now. It is about recognizing where WWE is applying pressure, where NXT is opening doors, where AEW is choosing to wait, and where TNA is attempting to grow. It is a conversation about direction, tone, and trust during a week that did not rely on shock, but still managed to move the industry forward.
