We're barely three weeks into the new year and already have the story of the year with the news of Kazuchika Okada LEAVING New Japan Pro Wrestling. I've got LOTS to say about the news, including the pros and cons of Okada signing with WWE and AEW, where he's likely to land and what it means for the future of NJPW. And less than a week before the Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins may have just thrown Wrestlemania plans into disarray with his injured knee, and I've got all the potential scenarios that could play out from it, including the route I would take if the World Heavyweight Championship needs to be vacated. PLUS... John Cena tells PEOPLE Magazine that his time in WWE is coming to an end... R-Truth details how his quad tear nearly ended his career... Samoa Joe and HOOK do some numbers on Dynamite and the important thing for HOOK now coming out of it... why Revolution is shaping up to be one of the biggest AEW shows of all time... Tony Khan announces he's bringing back the RANKINGS system and my thoughts may surprise you... Dark Side of the Ring episodes revealed for season 5... the NWA finally coming to The CW, but not in the way Billy Corgan may have hoped... MY FIRST TNA IMPACT REVIEW IN YEARS and the one thing holding back the company from growing its audience... and YOUR QUESTIONS on The Rock in the Royal Rumble, where Fred Blassie ranks as a manager, how the state athletic commissions regulate pro wrestling, and the Girls Gone Wild PPV that WWE would rather we all forgot (with a great Kevin Dunn story out of it!).
