Joe Hojnacki and Greg Hessen give their 2016 MLB All Star Ballots. Do the Chicago Cubs dominate theirs like they are in the overall vote totals? Is Greg's ballot composed entirely of Detroit Tigers? Before that, last night was Bark at the Park Night at Comerica Park. That has Greg thinking about lots of stupid ballpark gimmicks. Also, after a brief discussion of old baseball hats, Rob Manfred is not ruling out Las Vegas as a potential MLB city. The NHL is going there, so why not baseball? Does MLB really need to expand?

On this W2M EXTRA, we do a WWE Money in the Bank 2016 Review and a NJPW Dominion 2016 Review as well.

Due to Father’s Day, everyone’s schedules didn’t match up on our normal

night, but don’t fret, because we are still doing this podcast and our

regular Tuesday one as well.

On a memorable night for both companies, WWE and NJPW put on two

enjoyable shows and we are here to discuss them. What did we like? What

wasn’t so great? What was the best match on both shows? Did the Money

in the

Bank contract get

cashed-in? How did the first ever Ladder Match in NJPW history turn out?

Plus, we have our final ratings for both events as well.

Gary, Sean, and Paul do the WWE Money in the Bank 2016 Review, then the

guys are joined by Longtime wrestling fan and our NJPW correspondent Tom

Reese for the NJPW Dominion 2016 Review as well. So, much to talk

about from these events. You don’t want to miss it.

Running Wild Podcast's Rich and Runz bring you another episode of wrestling discussion, sharing their thoughts on all the latest in the world of professional wrestling.

Rich and Runz discuss their reactions to Monday Night RAWand make their predictions for the Money in the Bank PPV.

The guys debate who should win the actual MITB match and also weigh in on how they feel the Shield angle will play out and whether or not Dean Ambrose needs the briefcase to be inserted into the title picture with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Runz runs down some TNA news, including fallout from Slammiversary and this week's Tuesday show while Rich laughs about how crazy Matt Hardy looks. Rich delves into ROH this week yet again, analyzing glut of War of the Worlds tapings that he's been watching, as well as an honest break from wrestling as he treats himself to some Star Wars for his birthday week.

their first ever talent signing from China. The possibility of WWE

Network going up in price, Big Damo and Noam Dar signing

with NXT, more on what’s going on with TNA and their crisis with money and more.

We do our WWE Money in the Bank 2016 Preview, then discuss NXT and Lucha Underground.

Next, is our NJPW Dominion 2016 Preview and we end things with TNA Impact Wrestling and our W2M Power Rankings.

----------- Time Stamps ---------

(7:00-46:20) Wrestling News: the WWE in China news, a possible price

(2:08:10-End) Superstar of the Week

This week’s “Planning the Parade” saw

Mitchell Tierney and Arslan Siddiqui talk about Pittsburgh Penguins Stanley Cup

win. The Penguins have alarming topics to address this off-season. With

starting netminder Marc-Andre Fleury in the backseat in the Penguins goaltending

picture, and Matt Murray the cup-winning goalie, the boys discuss whether to

trade the life-long Penguins goaltender.

 

Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos recently

brought up the idea of trading elite center Evgeni Malkin to evolve the

Penguins and move them forward. Is strengthening on defense and deflecting the

cap crunch important for the Penguins? Or should they hang on to the core and

hope to win a cup again?

 

The Leafs gave up on Phil Kessel last

year, which was the unanimously correct decision. But Arslan chose to ask the

question, “Did Toronto really need to Trade Phil Kessel?” Why couldn’t he be a

support piece in Toronto? He didn’t HAVE to be the core piece in Toronto, did

he? How about James Van Riemsdyk? Various reports show the New York Islanders

making their first round pick available, with JVR a target. Leafs fans, do you

want him to be traded?

 

The boys welcomed special guest Neil

Shyminsky, college professior at Cambrian College and big-time Baseball fan, to

talk Toronto Blue Jays. Aaron Sanchez is poised to join the bullpen, the Jays

are very much on fire, but Arslan brings out the ‘Debbie downer’ in him to talk

about a problem in this organization. Do the Blue Jays really have winning

aspirations? Comparing every move to the Sox, Yankees etc, the Jays simply

haven’t showed as much aspirations as the rest of the MLB.

 

Toronto FC take on the LA Galaxy this

weekend, a team they haven’t beat in five meetings. They’re winless in four

games. With Bradley and Altidore out, facing a tough LA Galaxy team, Toronto

are very much in tough. Can the Reds grab a point?

 

Also, find out more about Spider

mating season and Steph Curry’s mouthguard.

Madison Bumgarner, who leads MLB pitchers in home runs over the past two seasons, has come up with the idea for a pitchers home run derby. Jake Arrieta has seconded the thought, but would Joe Hojnacki or Greg Hessen be interested in watching it? What about the general baseball fan? Of the 24 pitchers who have hit home runs over the past two years, who else would be included? Also, Jose Reyes DFA'd by the Rockies and Ichiro approaching a record.
