POST Wrestling

John Pollock has a pair of interviews heading into this weekend’s Bellator 231 & 232 cards from Uncasville, Connecticut.

Up first, “Big” John McCarthy discusses his role as a Bellator broadcaster, the typical duties the day of the event, the rematch between Rory MacDonald and Robbie Lawler, the moments he has shared with MacDonald inside the cage, the recent weight-cutting rule passed by the California State Athletic Commission, and an update on his health following neck surgery two years ago.

Then, MMA analyst Robin Black discusses the MacDonald vs. Lima rematch, how he dissects fights and how it’s changed over the years, the unique approach he takes versus how the fight is called in real-time and utilizing Instagram to find an audience.

Bellator 231 airs Friday night at 9 pm ET on DAZN & Paramount Network followed by Bellator 232 on Saturday night at 10 pm on DAZN.

John Pollock and Wai Ting review WWE Raw featuring the return of Kevin Owens to Raw. [REVIEW STARTS AT 00:39:33]

Monday’s episode featured Ric Flair announcing the final member of his team for Crown Jewel, several new talents receiving showcases, Humberto Carrillo receives a non-title match with Seth Rollins, Rusev crashes a dinner date, Cain Velasquez saves Rey Mysterio from Shelton Benjamin, and The Street Profits headlined the show against The OC in a six-man tag that became a tag match that still revealed a mystery man in the end. We will try and make sense of it.

NEWS OF THE DAY:

Eric Bischoff comments on his WWE release

New Japan forms a U.S. subsidiary and its live event strategy for 2020

Xavier Woods and La Parka injured over the last 24-hours

It's always nice to spend a night indoors popping popcorn and reviewing a scary movie. Do you like scary movies, POST-Marks? Well have we got just the film for you!

On this edition of The Rocky Maivia Picture Show, Nate Milton celebrates October by reviewing Dwayne Johnson’s scariest movie to date, Disney’s Race to Witch Mountain! Wait… There’s no witches in this movie? Not even one?? It’s about adolescent aliens??? Ok…

Nate tries to counter this alien incursion with a “British invasion”! He welcomes ½ of The BDE, Davie Portman (upNXT) and UK film-industry veteran Daniel Perry into the theater to break down the race! So there’s no race, either? Then what the heck is this film about?!?

Nate and his companions travel back to 2009 to talk about “Jack Bruno”, a weird time for live-action Disney films, and The Rock’s international appeal. To top it all off, they spend a much-needed moment with the “Man Called Sting”! All that & more on a scary-good installment of TRMPS!

The Rocky Maivia Picture Show is a monthly movie review podcast that drops every 3rd Saturday on POST Wrestling!
