Chris & Alex discuss the week that WAS.

News out of the Queensland scene when Red Castle Entertainment knowingly hired an individual who'd been kicked out of other promotions for serious allegations. Within a matter of days their Champion resigned, others chose not to work there, and the company itself issued an odd apology before “going on hiatus”.

In Japan major names finish up with both NJPW & Stardom as Tetsuya Naito, Mayu Iwatani & Tam Nakano all left this past week! What’s next for these three wrestlers and will Los Ingobernables de Japon continue under new leadership?

Five names have left AEW for WWE in 2025 could Mariah May be the sixth? Also what in the world happened to Ring Of Honor and why was a show moved on late notice?

Locally, an Impressive TNA Signee, Dakota Kai “not hurt” and a WWE Perth announcement soon. Plus local shows from TCW & RCW!

Will Alex scratch that figure itch?
