Evolution Radio Network Presents:

The hot story as of early this morning are the reports, which were first generated by Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch, and since has been picked up by several major media outlets, that Dean Ambrose, real name Jon Moxley, has given notice to WWE that he will be ending his run with them when his current contract expires at the end of April. Now of course the immediate speculation is that AEW is looking to sign him. However, Chris Jericho posted a bit of a shot, not just at WWE but at Ring Of Honor and Impact, that seems to state that there really aren't that many guys currently under contract that AEW is interested in. Jericho also posted a direct shot at WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, which he has since deleted but as you all know once something is posted on social media screenshots WILL be taken and you can never really, if you are a major personality, take back your words.

NXT TakeOver Phoenix provided a lot of excitement, including two title changes, and several members of the roster being included in both Royal Rumble matches. Speaking of the Rumble, was the fact that a certain newcomer to the main roster given a microphone at the start of their match an indication that Vince is banking on that person to lead their roster on whichever show they wind up on?

If you're comfortable with the idea of Ronda Rousey facing Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Title at WrestleMania, don't be. It looks like there's a further plan in place that we will discuss. There was also a rumor regarding Rousey that was very quickly corrected and we will discuss that as well. Ember Moon will be on the shelf for an undetermined amount of time. We'll tell you why Moon is going to be out and yes, the injury occurred Sunday. We also have possible spoilers due to local advertisements regarding Fastlane.

As always your crazy crew will keep you informed and entertained as you try to stay warm.

Last night we introduced JESS BLUE as our new co-host. Tonight, we toss her right into the fire!

We always love when we can bring the GLOW girls on, and tonight is no different. With David McClain, the originator of GLOW returning to TV this past Friday as part of the AXS TV Friday Night Fights lineup with WOW we'll see if the girls watched the new show and if so, how it differs, if they believe it does, from GLOW.

Joining us tonight (Card Subject To Change)-

NOELLE "MAJOR TANYA" ROSE

SHARON "CHAINSAW" "ARLENE" JOHNSTON

APRIL "ROYAL HAWAIIAN" ENRIQUEZ

AND OTHER SURPRISES

As always, the stories of life as a GLOW girl in that day is an adventure in itself, and they enjoy sharing with our listeners as much as we enjoy hearing them

Get ready for a lot of fun and laughs with the women who pioneered the art of making women the main event.

Make sure you listen tomorrow night as it will be LADIES NIGHT with GLOW girls Noelle Rose,  Sharon Johnston, April Enriquez and more.

This morning Court Bauer, owner of Major League Wrestling, made a major announcement concerning a new sponsor for the promotion, and the sponsor is a major player in advertising on sporting events.

On the AEW front, the main players, Cody and The Young Bucks, have been invading various indie promotions and causing quite a reaction. They are also set to sign the son of an 80s TV teen heartthrob who has been making a splash on the indie scene. Cody has also indicated a willingness to take on a group of athletes who are starting to make a big noise in wrestling. The AEW situation is definitely causing major waves in Stamford as another major name has supposedly turned down a position within the company planning on a post ring future. There are also reports that Vince is apparantly ready to make some major offers in order to keep people.

On the WWE front, might we be hearing a familiar laugh on TV in the near future? There is supposedly some WONDERFUL news on the horizon. There has also been some more information coming out concerning the situation with The Revival and why they are allegedly unhappy. There may also be another return happening soon as one of the long time stalwarts of WWE is in Orlando for tests to see if he can be cleared to return to the ring. Speaking of returns, Alexa Bliss officailly announced her return to action beginning Sunday. It was during that announcement that Lacey Evans made her first official live audience appearance, and let's just say it didn't go as well as she, and probably Vince, expected.

After last night's good go home version of RAW, SmackDown Live will be set to give us action leading into Sunday. Get ready for a fun night of talk.

Ladies and gentlemen, war has been declared!

No, not the kind with guns and missles, the kind with contracts, lawyers and agents. Earlier today, in what may be a sign of things to come Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder, known collectively as The Revival, have, according to reports, asked for their release from WWE. This comes at a time when the billionaire Khan family, who are backing the Cody & Brandi Rhodes/ Nick & Matt Jackson project known as All Elite Wrestling are looking at potential talent to sign. While Dawson & Wilder had two runs as NXT tag champs, a combination of injuries and just a seeming lack of concern and interest by WWE management, have kept the brawling old school team fom realizing what many feel is a much deserved run with the RAW tag titles. We know that Cody & The Bucks have used the hashtag #FTR on social media, but was that a shot on the duo or an invitation when the time came for the two well respected teams to meet?

Speaking of people unhappy with a contract, a friend of Steve & Sean's is apparently unhappy with her contract with a major TV show and is still trying to obtain her release. We'll divluge who it is and which fellow roster member is publicly supporting her.

 

Speaking of wars, we'll discuss the talent that may jump, has already jumped, and who don't seem likely to jump. In addition, we will discuss WrestleKingdom 13, NXT UK TakeOver Blackpool, Friday's WOW premier on AXS TV and much more.

We might still get a call in from Mel ThunderRosa/Kobra Moon Cervantes but even if we don't your favorite hosts Katie, Sean and Steve will inform and entertain you for two hours.

Last week we began an espose on wrestling "promoter" Rex Gil and his treatment of females, including underage females, in his locker room. During that show, one of our guests, Jess Blue, talked not only about the situation in Mt. Pulaski, but some areas Rex apparantly may have stolen in shady business dealings with a promoter in Indiana.

Tonight we get into more detail concerning the Indiana situation, and from what we've been told in advance it's not going to look good for the parties involved. Once again we will have Jess Blue with us and along with her will be our investigative reporter Crimefighter, who has unearthed some potentially damaging information concerning the Indiana situation.

According to Jess, she has passed on information to us that Alex, who supplied Jess with a statement about the harassment she received and Jess read last week, is now being victim shamed by the perpetrators of the act and his associates. We are going to turn Jess loose - UNCENSORED!

With any remaining time we will start to cover some of the news happening around the wrestling world, including:

Does AEW already have a TV deal?

Two potential serious injuries at the ROH tapings.

Why was Braun Strowman pulled from Royal Rumble?

How many viewers watched Impact Wrestling Friday?

Get ready for another big controversial evening of wrestling talk.

Tonight again might touch on some subjects that could be difficult for younger or more sensitive listeners. Discretion is advised.

Jamie Senegal is a very young man just starting to make waves on the independent wrestling scene. Only 20 years old, the DJ Hyde trained competitor has been in the ring against talent that are currently working with all the major companies, including NXT, Lucha Underground, Impact Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling. He has also competed in Women Superstars Uncensored. If you're scratching your head on that you wouldn't be alone. The difference between Senegal and many other wrestlers is that like Sonny Kiss, AKA XOLicious from Lucha Underground, who he has faced, Senegal is openly gay. While that may or may not be an issue, depending on your philosophical bent, he has a legitimate opponent that you can't see. Jamie Senegal suffers from clinical depression.

Tonight's episode, however, is not desigend to be a pity session. While he may battle depression in varying degrees on a daily basis, Jamie overcomes his condition on a daily basis in order to entertain audiences all over. We will discuss being gay in a world that prides itself on the machismo of its male performers, being the victim of a hack of personal pictures from his phone, and overcoming all of these things in order to travel and entertain.

Be prepared to laugh, cry, hear stories, but overall celebrate the continuing forward battle of a young man who refuses to lose, at least in real life.

WARNING-There probably WILL be graphic details of allegations against this "promoter", including descriptions of attempted acts and messages sent by the social media accounts of this "promoter". Tonight's program is NOT for younger or more sensitive listeners.

Someone whom we have spoken about many times in the past on this program for unsafe ring conditions, using untrained wrestlers and other such acts has now been accused of some VERY serious potential criminal activity. This past weekend he was accused of attempted sexual assault. We have also been alerted that this is not the first time this has happened with this particular person.

Tonight we will be speaking to the latest attempted victim of this person. We have also reached out to another person whom he is alleged to have attacked. As of this moment we have not heard back from the other alleged victim.

We have reached out to elected officials and the area business group of the town he runs in so that they can hear what is apparently happening withing their borders. Once again, there will be descriptions and messages that will be disturbing to some people, however, in order to maintain the integrity of the business, we feel this is necessary to bring to the attention of the public.

In addition to this case, we will also be bringing to you the estranged wife of another Midwest based independent wrestler who has experienced abuse at the hands of her wrestler husband. As a note, this is someone Steve and Sean used on the first Wrestle Wars event, however, they were not aware of his issues. He will no longer be used by RWF and we are trying with this program to make sure other promoters are aware of this person and his issues so that they do not ruin their reputations by booking him.

Two days into the year and we have already lost a legend. You didn't even have to follow wrestling to know who Mean Gene Okerlund was. The phrase "Let me tell you something Mean Gene" became a staple, not just in wrestling but in life.

Gene started his career working for Verne Gagne and the AWA, replacing Marty O'Neill in the role. Soon, Gene's mastery of the English language and his willingness to both engage with his subjects, even to the point of being the subject of the joke in trying on Andre The Giant's sport coat and letting Andre cover his face with his massive hand. He left the AWA right around the same time as Hulk Hogan for the then WWF. After many years there he moved to rival WCW and stayed there until Vince McMahon bought and shut down the promotion. He eventually returned to WWE where he was inducted into the Hall Of Fame.

Tonight we will be talking with people who worked with Gene and who loved him in general. We will also play several interviews Gene conducted, including probably he biggest one he did, the night Hulk Hogan turned his back on WCW and helped create the nWo.

Join us as we pay tribute to one of the best men to ever hold a microphone in pro wrestling.

Unfortunately we start the year with the toll of the final bell as former AWA enhancement talent and independent wrester Trevor Adonis passed away early this morning at the age of 53.

In more pleasant news, in a episode of "Being The Elite" that was published on their YouTube channel early this morning the rumors were confirmed. Not only is All Elite Wrestling an actual entity, but Double Or Nothing, the follow up to 2018's highly successful ALL IN will occur sometime this year. We will discuss the current available news on the promotion, the major sports owner helping to back the new company, and any other information we have.

In WWE news, attendence figures at live events on the current tour were noticeably down. Even Madison Square Garden, the place many still consider WWE's home, had empty seats on the Saturday before Christmas, usually a night many people would attend.

Is there legit heat between Tye Dillenger and Nia Jax? Dillenger's recent scathing response to Nia's scathing response to a tweet put out by WWE seems to indicate that is the case, and we will discuss it.

 Will the changes WWE is planning to impliment, including moving up NXT roster members going to help in terms of bringing back viewers and increase live event attendance? We'll let you know exactly what we think about that possibility as well.

All this, plus our reviews of RAW IS TAPED and SmackDown Not Live with Steve, Sean and Katie, TONIGHT!

TODAY! TODAY! TODAY!
