This week we talk about John Cena's first heel promo and why we were disappointed and happy at the same time. Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Seth Rollins have their segment on Smackdown and it was lukewarm at best, what they need to do and why this WrestleMania build is not as hot as last year. Naomi returns to attack Jade Cargill but it didn't get the heat it needed. Jon Moxley and Cope have their redo match at Dynamite and Moxley takes a gruesome spot that was not needed and it didn't do AEW no favors. We talk about how AEW needs to change fast because there way isn't working. Lex Luger wants Sting to induct him into the Hall of Fame but will Tony Khan go for it? All this and more so come join us for good wresting talk with No Gimmicks Needed.

This week we saw Ricky Starks debut on NXT Scott Hall style and made a big hit. NXT also had Vengeance Day and Jordynn Grace makes her sights known. Michelle Mccool is going into the Hall of Fame and it was the right move but I think someone should join her. WWE Released over 10 superstars last week before WrestleMania and believe it or not I can see why. We talk about where they made end up and why the releases may not be done yet. AEW Grand Slam in Australia was good and headline by Timeless Toni Storm and Mariah May and this crowd shows why international crowds are better than the US. All this and more so come join me for good wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!

This week is a TNA week because WWE and TNA have signed a multi-year deal which means great things in 2025 and years to come. However, that can also lead to some talent advantages in the future. Also TNA had their Genesis PPV where Joe Hendry became the new TNA world champion and the fans chanted "She a Racist" at Tessa Blanchard. I give my review of the show and what TNA could do in the future for PPV crossovers with NXT. We give our thoughts on why Hogan was booed on that first Raw on Netflix and why it doesn't all lead to politics. Come join us for some good wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!
