The Innerneath Podcast

As of this week, Rassslin Rantin is now in the history books. The old channel's YouTube presence is gone, but that only means new things are on the horizon. I'll discuss what that means and where the video side of my wrestling reviews will be going forward.

In addition, we look at WWE's strange tactic of requiring its performers to turn over their social media accounts like TikTok and Twitch to the company. The money acquired from those accounts will no longer supplement the performer's revenue, it'll be lumped in with the base pay they already get.The G1 Climax 30 continues in New Japan but given the current circumstances I will not be reviewing this week's shows. I will be picking it up again before the finals."The Walking Dead should have ended X years ago". That's often what you'll hear from most people when mentioning the show (most of whom haven't watched it in years). However, as someone who only started watching TWD in 2017, it's not "old" to me yet, and Sunday's Season 10 Sorta-Finale was highly impressive in the creep factor and an awesome death of a main villain. Why do I still watch it? I'll talk about this in this edition of the Rantin' Review as well.

YouTube has taken EVERYTHING, even my non-wrestling youtube channels (which were many).This a brief explanation of what happened and what I might do in the future.

Rassslin Rantin's YouTube channel has once again been dinged, so we will talk about TV Asahi content strikes and what the future of the YouTube channel will be.

It's that time of the year again, although a bit later than usual. New Japan Pro-Wrestling's G1 Climax 30 kicked off this past week with two great nights of action. The promotion is about at 75% of what it was before COVID-19 shut them down. Now, with half capacity crowds and many of the foreign stars like Juice Robinson, Jay White, and Will Ospreay returning to Japan, this year's G1 looks like it will be a full tournament despite some minor issues.Ricochet has been the latest victim of the internet wrestling rumor mill. Have we reached a point now where the assumptions made about WWE and its stars has reached a breaking point?After reaching over 1 million viewers for AEW Dynamite, All Elite Wrestling's success is undeniable. What will this mean in the future for TV deals with TNT and also future negotiations for WWE as their deals are coming up in the next couple of years?

Matt Hardy and AEW take a hard fall, pro wrestling's Wednesday Night Wars might be over, and we talk about something non-wrestling related as I review the streaming sensation Cobra Kai.

We are joined by Jana this week for an extended look at all the major happenings of this past week in pro-wrestling.Roman Reigns turned heel and is now being represented by Paul Heyman. Following his win of the Universal Title at the Payback pay per view, we wonder how this new Roman Reigns will go over with the fans.

We also look at the huge NJPW Power Struggle 2020 event that saw Tetsuya Naito regain the IWGP Double Championships against former stablemate EVIL as well as the shocking win of Toru Yano who is now the King of Pro-Wrestling 2020.Lastly, AEW's storytelling tends to pick up a few weeks before their pay per views. With ALL OUT a week away, Jana and I discuss the major feuds in the company and what matches we're looking forward to the most.

A heavy weekend of pro-wrestling action as WWE's 2nd biggest event of the year utilizes the new Thunderdome setting to feel a bit more like the WWE we're used to ... and in some ways that means overproducing.

Another eventful week in pro-wrestling sees WWE possibly dropping the PG Era, AEW continues to impress with its ratings but still suffers from a weak women's division, and COVID-19 rears its ugly head in New Japan and World Wrestling Entertainment.

The very first episode of this podcast right here for you, you sexy bitches, to get a weekly wrap up of things on my mind about pro-wrestling and sports entertainment.I will go into a bit more detail about what's happening with my YouTube channel, the TV Asahi strikes against particular New Japan videos (but apparently not other ones), and how I am deciding to move forward with NJPW reviews.We'll also look at a recent classic show: King of Pro-Wrestling 2015 and some notable firsts on that show.AEW, MLW, WWE, NXT, and so much more in this first ever episode of the Rantin Review podcast!
