Evolution Radio Network Presents:

Sadly, we can't have a night of enjoyment without having to deal with the realities of 2020 so we open with the ten bell salute for Pat Patterson, who passed away yesterday. After we take an appropriate time to celebrate the life of the Hall Of Famer we will begin our celebration.

Katie's journey to this point is a story in and of itself. She is the only one of the three of us who has never worked in a wrestling event in any capacity, yet her love for our wacky business is what made her find us. At first she would just listen to the show, then eventually started calling in with questions for our guests that were very well thought out. As we went through a parade of cohosts, the three constants of the show were Sean, Steve and Katie. After our last co-host went away, Steve and Sean were trying to figure out who or how to audition for a new cohost. Steve said "Let's talk to the Katie girl. She's on every week and she actually asks some pretty good questions." to which Sean agreed and reached out to her. The rest, as they say, is history, or maybe in Katie's case, HERstory.

Katie has learned the business quite well and has held her own in interviews with some of the biggest stars and legends in the business, including her epic takedown of the late Joe "Road Warrior Animal" Laurianitis that we played on the tribute show. It's always funny to have Katie say "I hate you" when we make her take the lead on a Ladies Night show even though she KNOWS we're going to do it. And what show would be complete without making her snort and even gasp for air when she hears unreal road stories, including PINK PUBES (Sorry, I had to do it)!

Tonight we are going to surprise Katie with some friends to poke fun at her and share in the celebration. Seriously, we love you and our lives would not be complete without you. Happy Birthday

For the first time in its three seasons in which it has covered the most controversial subjects in wrestling, including the Owen Hart, Chris Benoit and Dino Bravo cases, the Vice program DARK SIDE OF THE RING has run into a roadblock in trying to set up an episode, this one about Joannie "Chyna" Lauer. We have the information as to why this episode has stalled.

Why did WWE pull an "indefinate suspension" of Brawn Strowman this past Monday night? There are two schools of thought, one of which has a Twitter post that could possibly be the clue. If you watch Impact Wrestling, you know "All Ego" Ethan Page has been on a bit of a losing streak lately, including this past week to "The Weenominal One AJ Swoggle". As always there is an explanation behind it and we will tell you about it. The Impact locker room is also very upset about a recent turn of events that they were not made aware of.

Recently D'Von Dudley's sons made their AEW debut, well the son of another legendary star had a WWE tryout and we'll tell you who that is. The Netflix Hulk Hogan biopic has hit a snag and Eric Bischoff has an explanation. MLW has released its latest episode of FUSION, we'll tell you where you can watch it. 

Lee and Steve will discuss these stories along with some Kenny Omega news and a few other items - TONIGHT!

I honestly don't know what happened on Friday, so I'm doing it again. This time I will talk about Survivor Series, RAW, some possible TLC stories and the other news that fits in the time slot.

As of the time I am writing this, we are six hours away from the go home edition of Smackdown before Survivor Series and WWE needs to fill ONE opening on the Men's team and THREE openings on the Women's team! Vince and WWE are supposed to: A. Fill those spots tonight and B. Get you to care and maybe even believe the teams can be successful, all in a span of two hours.

Now if you think this was bad enough, wait until you hear the story of the guy who was working for AEW and tried to claim Cody hated him. Well the word to the wise is always make sure your history is clean before you throw stones at someone else. Wrestling Twitter got to work on this guy and within hours his credibility was shot down like a German WWII fighter plane.

In lucha news it appears AAA might be losing one of its prime broadcast slots. Laredo Kid, who is scheduled to challenge Kenny Omega for the AAA Megachampionship in December worked this week despite suffering a personal tragedy. 

In happier news, we found out Wednesday night that Jon Moxley and his wife Renee are expecting their first child. The funny thing is, Jon was NOT the first to know he was going to be a father. We'll tell you who got the text intended for the AEW Champion. In another bit of hypocrisy for WWE one of their talents is going to be allowed on Cameo. 

Steve will report on these stories and more, including an announcement by Combat Zone Wrestling, tonight.

If you're working in WWE "Creative" you have just been given one of the hardest jobs in the world. You have less than two hours to complete both your Smackdown Men's and Women's Survivor Series teams AND get the audience to actually care about them before next week's go home show. If working for Vince isn't hard enough, you now have this added pressure. of adding one male and THREE females and making it make sense in just one show.

In other news, knowing that Survivor Series is officially Undertaker's last hurrah, what's in store for one of the longest running and most successful performers in WWE history? Well he relates acouple of ideas that have been floated to him that could be very interesting.

The Rascalz have finished up their commitments with Impact Wrestling and now we know why. Speaking of Impact, we'll discuss Saturday's impact Plus event Turning Point. MLW fans now have another outlet to watch their favorite wrestlers. The buy and crowd figures for Full Gear are now out. 

These stories and more with Steve Cain and Lee Walker - TONIGHT!

Monday night RAW completed the lineup for the men's Survivor Series team and continued the storyline rift between the members as well as Nia Jax continued attempts to demolish Lana before next Sunday's event. As of now we don't have a complete Smackdown team on either side so we are going to have to try and make some guesses as to who will round out the teams.

Saturday AEW presented FULL GEAR which was very well recieved by wrestling fans all over. It was then followed up by a Dynamite that saw a very brutal Bunkhouse Brawl, Brandi Rhodes showing a completely different side of herself and a return that no one was expecting for a very long time. They also announced the launch of its games division with not just one, but THREE games.

Impact is about to lose one of its more well liked tag teams. Is a former WWE star on his way back into the company? Where are WWE TV shows going to land in a few more weeks? Several weeks back we, as well as other wrestling media, covered the Sonya DeVille stalker saga. Well a new stalker has emerged going after another WWE star and we will give you the details on this very wild situation. 

Get ready for two hours of great wrestling discussion and fun with Katie, Steve and Sean.

After being released from his WWE contract, the man known as "The Man Of The Hour" seemed to drop off the face of the earth. For someone who was a constant presence on social media, especially Instagram, where he would interact, sometimes insultingly, with the fans who would ask to join in his videos. After what seemed to be an eternity away from not only social media, but wrestling itself, the man known as Lio Rush has returned, and it seems like this is not a temporary return.

In other news, how much does Vince pay attention to AEW? Quite a bit, it seems. AAA ended their popular AutoLuchas series this past Sunday with matches that might point to the planned December Triplemania. WWE has filed for two new names while dropping one rather well known name. We have information regarding the current situation with AEW star PAC. New Japan has a major card slated for this weekend which could, once again, shift the balance of power within the company.

Steve and Lee will cover these and other stories this week.

The world is in flux. We are gripped in the throes of a worldwide pandemic which has changed everything from how we vote to how we watch wrestling. As we prepare for yet another pay per view, this week from AEW, we examine how these issues have changed everything from staging to the final presentation of a wrestling event.

This week we examine the news of the latest contract ending in wrestling, although there is an unusual situation with the particular wrestler involved. A name that hadn't been heard in quite a while is starting to gain momentum as he was not only on a recent episode of an up and coming promotion, he was announced for another major card this past weekend. What is the actual situation with Thunder Rosa? Has the WWE On Fox Twitter feed alienate another WWE star? The Young Bucks get to slap WWE in the face again. WWE has more issues with programming, including not having someone they're supposedly pushing on TV. Ring Of Honor crowns a champion they have not had in several years. The Kylie Rae situation has possibly blown up. 

We will discuss all these stories as well as any news that happens before we go on the air.

As of episode time there STILL isn't a solid plan for this week's Smackdown! Why is this happening? We'll discuss the apparent issues behind the lack of a solid plan. Also this week we will discuss:

Road Dogg quits TwitterLegitimate trained wrestlers donate to a yarderNJPW star to film live action animeVeteran British star coming to NXT UKMLW has a futureThunder Rosa's futureThe other match announced for TriplemaniaMore about the Marvel/AAA agreement

These and other stories as the develop over the course of the day. Listen to Steve and Lee tonight!

Note: We WILL go over our normal 2 hour time, you will need to be called in before 10 PM Eastern to listen to the show in its entirety live.

The three of us didn't believe this was going to happen. We believed if ANYONE could beat cancer, it would be our friend, Tracy Smothers. Last weekend it looked like he had turned the corner, not easily, but he had turned it. Suddenly, Wednesday we got the news that Tracy didn't make it, cancer won the battle.

The thing is, it won the battle, but not the war. Tracy didn't give up, despite the pain and illness chemo causes. He fought through having another surgery designed to strengthen his body for more chemo. He had even posted on Facebook before cancer hit Tracy in such a way even he couldn't get back up from it. Cancer may have taken Tracy's body, but it never took his spirit.

Tonight Sean, Steve & Katie, along with our friend Joel Gertner from ECW will remember our good friend Tracy Smothers. We have pulled interviews he did on our show, including his last interview, which was a catharsis of sorts, as Tracy mends bridges he had taken a torch to. We have also included the morning show interview Tracy did with Sean and me to promote Wrestle Wars. This will be difficult, but we will get through it, together.

Should we have time, we will talk about some major breaking news concerning AAA's Triplemania, which is an exclusive to ERN, thanks to our friend Hugo Savinovich, the latest hilarity posted by Lionel Green, AKA Lio Rush, and believe us, it's hilarious. We'll also discuss the latest move by Court Bauer and MLW, Hell In A Cell, AEW Dynamite, NXT and more.

Please join us as we celebrate the life of a dear friend and a brave warrior.
