"The FACT of The Matter Is..." Podcast

With the final days of 2021 among us. In this solo edition of The FACT of the MATTER is Podcast, Frankie discusses this week in wrestling including AEW and the 1 hour classic between Bryan Danielson and Adam Page from this past weeks AEW Dynamite. With great AEW matches every week on Wednesdays and Fridays comes the WWE and their continuous long and boring build to the Day 1 PPV which is under 2 weeks away. I also give you my thoughts on the big news from this past week within WWE, which is Kevin Owens signing a new deal with WWE for an estimated 2-3 million dollars per year and how he will stay in the WWE for another few years, killing all the rumours about him potentially leaving the WWE to join AEW.

Last week MJF teased being in his hometown and being cheered as the hometown hero. This left us wondering if anyone would cheer for MJF, I mean MJF is feuding with CM Punk, how can you boo CM Punk. Well they did it, CM Punk swerved the audience coming out to MJF’s theme song and Long Island did not like it. What a great narrative, just like when WWE goes to Canada, AEW was in The Twilight zone where MJF is the most loved man.

This week Cody Rhodes almost killed himself by putting Andrade El Idolo through a flaming table with a reverse superplex. Cody definitely deserves a lot of respect for his street fight this week. On the other hand, WWE deserves no praise this week. On RAW this week in two separate promos, had superstar releases were blamed on other superstars. Even if you don't care about the wresters you gotta admit that it was done in bad taste.

Who doesn't have a favourite Championship belt from WWE? WWE has some of the most iconic belts in wrestling history. From great ones like the classic Intercontinental Championship which was brought back by Cody Rhodes, to the bad ones like the 24/7 Championship, and the divisive ones like the John Cena spinner WWE Championship. Join Frankie and Emerson as they put together their Tier List of WWE belts.

This year especially it feels like WWE has given up on Survivor Series. With a terrible rushed build, THE EGG, and hinting at The Rock showing up when they knew he wasn't, Survivor Series was a mess of a show. Join Frankie and Emerson as they round up this week in wrestling, including the great promos and matches from AEW.

This week Frankie and Emerson go head to head in a WWE trivia quiz. Who will win? Who knows more about WWE?

After the releases 2 weeks ago, we thought that we were in the clear for a while, but WWE had other plans. This past week we seen 8 more releases, consisting of Jaxson Ryker, Teagan Nox, Drake Maverick, Shane Thorne, John Morrison and the rest of Hit Row. Just like the last releases WWE got rid of a problematic wrestlers in Jaxson Ryker and Top Dolla. Join Frankie and Emerson as they go through the releases and talk about their time in WWE. Plus with Survivor Series today, we talk about the go home shows on RAW and Smackdown.

Here at Fact Of the Matter, we aren't looking forward to Survivor Series. The show that stops all storylines so we can pretend RAW and Smackdown are against each other. Probably the only interesting match on the card is the main event Roman vs Big E, obviously Roman is the biggest star in the company and Big E is the most beloved champion in a while. The matches could be good but that won't stop the feeling that this show is just a waste of time.

After All Out changed the wrestling world, AEW got a rush of new fans ready to see what happened next. With amazing matches like Kenny Omega vs Bryan Danielson, Pac vs Andrade El Idolo, Minoru Suzuki vs Bryan Danielson and many more in between PPVs, Full Gear had to be a banger. This show just kept getting great match after great match announced. Did the show live up to the hype?

Survivor Series continues to be the least thought out PPV from WWE, and with the PPV around the corner you'd think WWE would have the matches make sense and give the wrestlers a reason to team up. Well no, its just red vs blue. Most of the teams are made up of superstars from the other brands before the draft so it seems pointless, then the teams were just announced on twitter, then they changed their minds and took people out of the teams. Nothing makes sense.
