A lot to get into this week. John Cena's final match is Saturday and GUNTHER has won the tournament but should he beat Cena? We look at how we got to this point and why this whole John Cena retirement tour has it's ups and downs and what mistakes they need to fix going into next year with AJ Styles. NTX Deadline saw Oba Femi win back the NXT championship and the return of Tony D'Angelo. What does this mean going forward with Ricky Saints? AEW has a new TV deal with AMC which is great for TNA but what does this mean for the partnership with WWE? Netflix won the biding war but Paramount is doing a hostile takeover attempt to get WBD! What does all this mean for AEW? All this and more so come join us for good wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!

This week we got to talk about this Westside Gunn situation with WWE because they are being petty and WWE makes it hard to be a wrestling fan. Me and Prime break this down and what this could mean going forward with WWE. John Cena becomes and grand slam champion but does that change the outcome of the tournament? Zack Ryder makes his "return" in this tournament but is it permeated? AEW had it's Blood and Guts show and had the FIRST EVER women's Blood & Guts match and we think they did better then the men or was it because they went first? AEW Full Gear is next Saturday and we give our predictions. All this and more so come join us for good wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!

WWE had Crown Jewel this pass weekend and it was better than Wrestlepalooza! John Cena and AJ Styles had a classic as Cena gave tribute to all of his opponents over the years! AJ Styles is on his way out as well and did the same which made this match a match of the year candidate. Seth Rollins finally beats Cody but did it come at a cost because the Vision have turned their back on Rollins and where does that leave Rollins, The Vision and War Games? TNA had their biggest show of the year and we enjoyed the show BUT TNA finds a way to TNA something. We had draws, non finishes, no contest and a fake cash in which this could have been the show of the year if they took all that stuff out. Join us as we break down Bound for Glory and why TNA is still got great days to come. All this and more so join us for great wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!

DISCLAIMER: THIS PODCAST WAS RECORDED BEFORE CROWN JEWEL AND BOUND FOR GLORY

Got a HUGE wrestling weekend coming up with WWE Crown Jewel and TNA Bound for Glory. We give our predictions and why Crown Jewel needs to do good. We had to bring back the Mid-Week Wrestling War with NXT and AEW going head to head on Tuesday night. NXT and TNA had their Showdown show which was pretty good but their are still some problems with how this invasion is going. AEW was building to WrestleDream and "Title Tuesday" had very little title action. All this and more so come join us for good wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed

Last week on Smackdown we had a women's triple threat match for the women's championship and they BOTCHED the main event. Jade was busted open and the ref stopped her count. We try to figure out what happen and who (if anyone) is too blame. NXT had their No Mercy PLE and it was a set up for a TNA vs NXT showdown event happening on a Tuesday? We need to talk about this TNA invasion and why we feel that they missed the mark on somethings and this should REALLY be a PLE event! AJ Styles is hanging it up next year and get the chance to BEAT UP JOHN CENA one more time, AEW is celebrating the 6 year anniversary of Dynamite but AEW still needs work because they could REALLY make noise around this time. All this and more so come join us for great wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!

DISCLAIMER: This is a late post episode from Wrestlepalooza and All Out weekend!

THE ESPN ERA HAS BEGUN! WWE had their Wrestlepalooza PLE for the first time on the ESPN app and it was a very mid show and somethings I feel could have been better. I give you my review and also tell you something about the ESPN app that you may not know. AEW had there All Out show which had surprises, debuts and good action but some of it did fall flat. I give you my review of All Out and how I feel for the first PPV on HBO Max should have been at least half off. All this and more so come join me or good wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!
