We cover a lot of ground in this episode: from Mercedes Moné to Cope/Cage III (technically IV), as the wrestling world prepares for our big trip to Philadelphia.

We talk about everything: Ring of Honor, The Rock, Bayley, and we start a new thing called the New Japan Minute. It's one minute long!

We go over WWE's Elimination Chamber, AEW news, and John talks about New Japan for awhile!

We unpack the latest news on WWE's bumpy, weird road to WrestleMania, a new conversation with Bret Hart, the latest from ROH, NJPW, and the return of Sasha Banks watch!

We unpack fan reactions to the most recent appalling allegations against Vince McMahon. We also talk about the Royal Rumble! It's a real rollercoaster.

We went to AEW World's End in person and we have lots of thoughts about that. Anne also provides a recap of the other big wrestling event of the week: the season finale of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Finally, we also discuss The Rock returning to WWE, again.

CM Punks returns yet again and we're... bored. Luckily, everything else in wrestling is very exciting right now, from GCW consistent greatness to AEW's Continental Classic to MJF's future. We go into it all!

In this very special episode of John and Anne's Wrestling Podcast, our friend and favorite Luchador Parrot Brandon Zelman stops by the pod to talk about TNA, AEW, and WWE's Crown Jewel. We also look back at a special appearance the one and only Willow Nightingale made to XSW.
