Evolution Radio Network Presents:

Vince McMahon is known to change entire shows hours before they are supposed to air live, one of those changes may cause a change in the Women's Elimination Chamber match, which now is the only one that counts since Vince already put Roman Reigns against Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. 

In regards to WrestleMania, there was an announced change to Axxess concerning a scheduled appearance. I'll tell you who and my thoughts as to why.  AAA airs live on Twitch Saturday but there will be a time change there as well. There's also an angle that is happening right now that may have been the result of someone going into business for themselves.

All of these stories and MORE are LIVE From The Dean's Den.

We just received word of the passing of legendary star "Crippler" Rip Oliver. We will be joined this evening by Memphis legend Bill Dundee who will share some stories and we are reaching out to more of his peers.

Saturday AEW held its first pay per view of the year, REVOLUTION. The reaction to the event has been quite positive and we'll go over the matches and our reactions. However, we can't talk about AEW without talking about the most controversial member of their roster, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Friedman posted some things on Twitter and did something at a meet and greet session that have caused a bit of controversy.

If you want to talk controversy, the Randy Orton/Beth Phoenix closing segment to Monday's go home edition of RAW caused quite a bit of controversy, at least with us. We'll discuss the segment and what our immediate reactions to it.

Can you believe Vince once threatened to fine somebody if they WENT to the gym? Well he did, and we'll tell you who it was and what Vince's rationale for not wanting this wrestler to go to the gym.

The COVID-19 virus is having an effect on wrestling just like it is in every other part of life currently. We'll discuss what has been said and/or done and what action someone should probably stop doing for the time being.

We'll report on these, more Teddy Hart news, Sid Vicious being pulled from an event and another former guest of ours making their debut with another main promotion. All of this and anything that breaks with Katie, Steve and Sean TONIGHT.

Saturday is AEW's first pay per view of the year, REVOLUTION. Steve will go over the card and what to possibly expect during several of the matches. 

"Home Alone" star McCauley Culkin, who was supposed to be at this year's WrestleMania in Tampa is no longer going as he is quite upset over Bray Wyatt dropping the Universal Championship to Goldberg. Well it didn't take long for Goldberg to respond and the response was short and to the point. 

Speaking of older WWE part timers getting title opportunities, it looks like another part timer will be getting a title shot at WrestleMania. WWE pre show host Sam Roberts and Revival member Dash Wilder got into a battle on social media over terminology. There is another AEW figure that pre orders are being taken on. 

All of this and other items will be discussed LIVE From The Dean's Den.

Note: We most likely will be going into our third hour, in order to listen past the two hour mark you MUST be called in.

For the first time ever we will be in a post show position as we are broadcasting just a few hours after WWE's latest Saudi Arabia event, Super Showdown. We are aware of a couple of major things involved with the show but we will include those items in the discussion.

Prior to our discussion of Super Showdown, Katie ran into an old friend (or is it fiend?) this past weekend. The story, which took place at Smash Wresting, was quite unique and you will hear it all.

Today's Super Showdown brings Saudi Arabia its first ever Women's title match when Bayley defends the SmackDown Women's TItle against Naomi and its first ever cage match when Baron Corbin takes on Roman Reigns. In addition, since there always has to be a special Saudi Arabia match, the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy will go to the winner of a gauntlet match.

Last night's AEW Dynamite go home show prior to this Saturday's Revolution pay per view was an amazing event with the 30 minute ironman match between Kenny Omega and Pac and that chaotic weigh in segment at the end that brought a long time friend of ERN to an AEW ring for the first time.

In addition, Samoa Joe is in trouble again, AEW signs their first NJPW star, a familiar face joins the ROH Women's title tournament and did Evil Uno confirm the identity of the Exalted One? All of this and more with Katie, Steve, Sean, and returning to the show, our friend, promoter/wrestler Chris Hensley, TONIGHT.

When Jonathan Good left the security of a job and a midcard push at WWE to strike back out on his own, taking back the name Jon Moxley, he wasn't sure if wrestling fans would accept the change, especially after some of the things he had to do in the later stages of his time at WWE. In this episode, in addition to other news, including who has been added to WrestleMania, including someone who will be working an independent show the day before.

A huge rumor concerning the future of WWE pay per views has emarged, and it may change the future of one particular streaming service, in addition to the WWE Network. Why is Sami Zayn still playing his "Liberator" role rather than compete? Rhea Ripley has talked about the one thing WWE will not allow her to do. All of this and other news as it breaks prior to air time.

We are slightly over a week out from both Super Showdown and Revolution. RAW focused on WrestleMania while Dynamite closed with AEW's first cage match leading up to the Cody Rhodes Vs. MJF confrontation. Meanwhile, in Japan, the coronavirus is having an effect on the business. 

Former NXT UK star and Mae Young Classic standout Jazzy Gabert has started a new venture. An indie wrestler from Texas made her AEW debut and a former Impact star returned to AEW. Game Changer Wrestling is continung to build out to WrestleMania week with additions announced for both Josh Barnett's Blood sport and Joey Janela's Spring Break cards. AAA returns to action this Saturday night with a live event that will be broadcast in English and Spanish on Twitch. 

We will discuss all of these stories and possibly have some surprises. You'll have to liten to find out.

WrestleMania week has become an event in and of itself, with every promotion in the world converging on the host city and surrounding area to present their own talent, some of whom are also seen on Impact, ROH,NJPW and now AEW. Previously, Josh Barnette's Bloodsport had been the one specialty show during the week, but now there are other shows highlighting various diverse segments of the wrestling landscape, including FOR THE CULTURE, an event with an all Black roster and EFFY'S BIG GAY BRUNCH. I'll go over the major events that will be happening in the Tampa area during that week including the announced talent and highlighted matches.

AAA is off for the week headed into another Twitch broadcast on the 22nd leaving CMLL the only main promotion running in Mexico, including a Valentine's Day event. There's a MAJOR spoiler concerning a WWE star and one of the championships. I hinted on TNT On BTR I hinted about a current WWE roster member who may be jumping to AEW but did not get to name them, I will name them on this episode.

Last night AEW made wrestling history when Nyla Rose pinned Riho to become the new AEW Women's World Champion. We'll look at why this is history making, because it is on two fronts.

Did JR slip or was he giving away some things during commentary last night, possibly a couple of times? We also will discuss the debut of a past guest of ours last night that had us all going nuts.

A few weeks ago New Japan did not have a TV home in the US. There are discussions in the works with a channel that has had two different shows about wrestling on it,  They also have announced their return date at Madison Square Garden. 

Ring Of Honor has announced a major change to its women's title. Speaking of women's titles, Triple H recently addressed the conroversy surrounding the NXT Women's Championship. NXT also has a TakeOver slated for Sunday which has some far reaching effects on this year's WrestleMania.

The RetroMania Wrestling video game is getting a lot of buzz. This throwback video game includes many of the top stars of the industry with a look that hearks back to the early Nintendo and arcade video games. We'll discuss the current available information in regard to the wrestlers who will be included and the scheduled release date. There may also be another video game in the works and it's NOT a WWE game.

All of this, plus possible visits by Crimey AND Hugo Savinovich - TONIGHT

Slightly over two weeks ago Andrade was suspended for violating the WWE Wellness Policy, but did he really violate it? On TNT On BTR we discussed the situation and a report coming from our good friend Hugo Savinovich about the situation. 

Earlier today I had a long phone conversation with Hugo. He relayed a lot of information to me, some of which I am free to share with you on this episode. Once you hear this your opinion toward the Wellness Policy may very well change.

This is not going to be a pretty conversation, but it is a necessary one.

Now I don't plan to be all serious or down, so if there is time I will discuss Saturday night's AAA card which will be broadcast live on Twitch as well as a BIG rumor concerning a current WWE star.

Lesson number one: Don't rip on AEW on Twitter, Chris Jericho will make you famous and you'll get torn apart on our show.

Lesson Number two: Don't go around claiming you're trained when you're not. We'll find out about you and expose you to the world.

Tonight, along with giving you the latest news we are going to tear apart a couple of fools who have put themselves out there to be ridiculed and exposed.

Fool number one, an idiot who decided he knew exactly where AEW did their TV and PPVs at. Well Le Champion got wind of the tweet and ripped him a new one which set up a chain of further humiliation by the Twitterverse.

Fool number two, an untrained yarder who tried to pass himself off as a trained wrestler and in the process has humiliated himself and stolen from other promotions. For this segement we will have wrestler/promoter Chris Hensley and members of his team to tell the story of this untrained wrestler and give other promoters a warning.

Fool number three, the idiot who attacked MJF and Wardlow at the end of Dynamite last night.

Sean is out sick so Steve and Katie will be your zookeepers tonight, get ready for a crazy show.
