Today was a very special episode of Pro-Wrestling Wednesday as Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc were joined in studio by Maxwell Jacob Friedman, MJF! The "Salt of The Earth" was in town for AEW Dynamite's Atlanta debut at State Farm arena and came by to get some issues off his chest before his bodyguard, Wardlow, faces his former mentor, Cody, inside AEW's first ever Steel Cage match. They talked about his issues with Cody since signing with AEW, whether taking the 10 lashes made him respect him more and what he makes of all the various factions in the AEW locker room. Took some listener questions on the facebook chat and discussed where he saw himself and the company in a few years. Tony and Beau tried to wrap the show talking about their competition, but it quickly went off the rails. Had a lot of fun with this one (Beau got to kiss the ring!), highly recommend checking out the video at 92-9's facebook page or at ProWrestlingWednesday.com.

PWW was back in full effect this past Monday as Beau Le Blanc told Tony Schiavone he is all in on Vince McMahon's latest creation (reinvention?) The XFL! He thouroughly enjoyed watching his hometown Defenders win the first game ever and Tony mocked him for being desperate to buy some merch. Beau segued into a discussion of how some of the XFL's broadcast elements offered a more compelling product and how the NFL (much like the WWE and AEW) might be well served by learning from what they're doing. Wrestlemania 37 is going Hollywood, which is disappointing for those of us that thought Atlanta might be in the mix to host the show of shows. Beau commended AEW, Cody Rhodes and MJF for a killer main event segment that even had Tony acting like a mark. WWE is preparing for their next Saudi show, but don't seem all that thrilled to be promoting it with matches being announced on the sly. Beau's hopeful that Bray Wyatt's match with Goldberg will be a way to get The Fiend over, but Tony was skeptical that his old colleague would go along with a submission loss. AEW comes to Atlanta next weekend, so look for PWW to be live at 11am on Wednesday 11/19 over at facebook.com/929TheGame, you never know who might stop by. You can watch the show at 92-9's facebook page or at ProWrestlingWednesday.com.

Tony Schiavone returned to the 92-9 Digital Studio with Beau Le Blanc for another super edition of PWW! Like any proper sports radio station a discussion of the Super Bowl was had and Tony let it be known that if anyone should be in a hummus commercial it should be him, not 16x World Champion Ric Flair! Beau asked Tony what it was like on the Chris Jericho cruise for the Dynamite taping and the peculiarity of  getting fireworks shot off in your face all night. Discussion turned to the WWE with the recent departure of its Co-Presidents (which caused a big drop in WWE's stock) and a reported reduction in house shows mean WWE is feeling the heat of increased competition or is Vince spending too much time on the XFL? Beau recapped Smackdown for Tony and was thouroughly disgusted by the dog food angle. Show closed with a Raw preview and both hosts being squemish over Edge getting con-chair-to'd immediately upon returning.

With Tony Schiavone still making his way back from the Chris Jericho Rock 'n Rager at Sea Part Deux, Jon Chuckery joined Beau Le Blanc to breakdown the first stop on the road to Wrestlemania, The Royal Rumble! Will The Fiend walk out with the Universal Championship, will Brock Lesnar's gambit in the Rumble itself pay off? Who's dumb enough to think Shorty G will beat a returning Sheamus?

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc got together for the first episode of PWW of 2020 and had a lot to say about the recent episodes of WWE TV and of course Tony's day job, AEW. First they talked up some sports news and The Rock voicing LSU's national title promo, then the biggest story of the weekend, Tessa Blanchard becoming the first woman to hold a major championship of a televised wrestling company, when she beat Sami Callihan for the Impact World Title. Of course, being 2020, there was twitter controversy going into the match, but still an amazing accomplishment for her, Sami and Impact Wrestling. Beau and Tony are both intrigued by Brock Lesnar entering the Royal Rumble, but Beau was annoyed WWE spoiled the returns of John Morrison and Big Show with the biggest Battle Royale of the year coming up. Tony previewed this week's episode of Dynamite and Dark with some behind the scenes notes on names he's heard bandied about as future AEW competitors.

Happy Holidays, Beau's a new dad and Tony's been a busy bee, so apologies for the hiatus. They recapped some personal business before getting down to THE business. Beau brought up his issues with TLC, and asled the play-by-play man for AEW whether he thought they were good decisions or not. Tony talked upcoming AEW dates and what it's like working on those broadcasts, not to mention AEW's Atlanta debut coming this February.

Been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Tony Schiavone with debut of AEW on TNT, but Beau was happy to have him back and decided to start the show with an homage to the super well received finish of Seth Rollins match with The Fiend from Sunday. (Fun visual for the facebook viewers, check it out at ProWrestlingWednesday.com) But then it was down to business, discussing how Tony's been liking the new gig, some fun road stories about JR and Cody Rhodes and Beau asked him for one of those swanky AEW blazers. At a time when the WWE is facing stiffer competition is it a great time for them to be pulling in part-timers, non-wrestlers and doing wonky finishes? Probably not, but a discussion is had about what they could be thinking with the added attention from FOX and USA. Enjoy all this, and some Redskins bashing, on this week's episode of PWW!

It was another exciting week in the world of professional wrestling and Beau Le Blanc and Tony Schiavone got back together to break it all down for you. Tony (as you may have heard) is "All Elite" having signed a deal with AEW to work on their TV productions. Beau asked him how all that came about and about his time at Starrcast III in Chicago. Of course a discussion of AEW's "All Out" event and Chris Jericho's big win as the first AEW champion and subsequent search for stolent title belt. When it came to the WWE of course Bayley's heel turn was the biggest story over there, but what does it mean for Charlotte? Also, this will probably be the last time they waste time complaining about the 24/7 Championship. You can also watch the show at ProWrestlingWednesday.com or facebook.com/929TheGame

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc reconvened in the Digital Studio for another facebook LIVE edition of PWW. After a brief discourse on hair, greying hair, body hair and blue hair, they got into the nuts and bolts of what went down at SummerSlam. Beau thought the biggest story coming out of the show was the debut of Bray Wyatt's "The Fiend" and the predictable win over Brock Lesnar by Seth Rollins. With SummerSlam in Toronto, Beau joked about how Canada wasn't exactly his idea of a Summer destination, which led Tony to talk about some of his favorite Bash at The Beach memories from his time at WCW. Clearly, WWE's new deal with FOX and USA is causing some anxiety about the brand split, but what can be done to fix it? All that and a recap of Sasha Banks' blue hair, this week, on PWW!
