1 hour 51 minutes

PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents the Tuesday Flagship edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast with guest co-host PWTorch columnist and PWTorch podcast host Greg Parks. They discuss these topics:

A lengthy look at the Summerslam line-up taking shape, is it deep enough and special enough to justify two nights, and is there is enough time to properly build key matches?
Is C.M. Punk showing character malaise after a rough summer so far?
Is Goldberg's post-retirement griping a revealing validation of WWE not really rolling out the red carper for his retirement?
Is TNA benefiting from in NXT/WWE crossover in both short-run and long-run?
Should AEW focus on "Hangman" Page and Toni Storm as clear top stars, or stick with the ensemble formula to make room for Mercedes Mone, Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland, and others?
Did WWE Evolution succeed enough in key ways to justify making it an annual event, and does it deserve its own weekend?
