On this W2M episode, Sean Garmer, Gary Vaughan and Paul Leazar look at all of these things that have gone down recently with WWE. Should fans be worried about a Monopoly or something close to it happening with WWE expanding into so many subsets? Or this just really about WWE trying to grow logically? And understand that the wrestling landscape is changing.
Is Triple H planning another Vince McMahon type takeover, this time using the indies, instead of territories? Is there anything to WWE pulling UK talent from other events, as a showcase of what things could become?
Where does New Japan factor into this? NJPW President Kidani seems gung-ho about starting a localized promotion in California and making an imprint on the US market. Can it actually work? Kidani certainly has a plan, but is it too big? Or is he thinking the right way about this? We discuss all of this in our main topic on the show.
There’s also some other wrestling news to get into in Quick Hits. The latest on WWE signing more UK indies to the WWE Network. A new wrinkle in how WWE deals with ROH talent in contract talks. WWE being interested in the SHIMMER library and also in Rev Pro, Pro Wrestling Eve and more. New Japan World subscriber numbers. Don Callis (Cyrus in ECW) joining Kevin Kelly on commentary for New Japan shows. Problems with Lucha Underground ratings and more.
After that, the guys discuss the latest Impact Wrestling Episode.
Finally, it is the W2M Power Rankings and Superstar of the Week.
