PWI releases their annual Top 500 and The Shield tops the list. I find this year's to be a joke with the names, positioning, and omissions. Some top names in wrestling were left off. That wasn't the only list revealed as WWE did their annual bus-flip with a big name topping theirs. Buddy Lee disects both lists going into all the crazy details. RAW and SmackDown TV deals coming due and I explain the current and future status of both shows. A sudden influx of main roster talent seems to be invading NXT. I have no problem with Superstars giving the "rub" to young talent; just not all at once. I explain my position on this situation. Surprisingly RAW and SD both delivered this week affording us great discussion for the two shows. We now know the main events as the FastLane card takes shape; a quick run down as it currently stands.

For the first time in its storied history WWE is no longer owned by a McMahon. The Endeavor deal was finalized this past week and the marriage of WWE and UFC will officially be known as TKO on the Stock Market. Buddy Lee has all the details as well as what chages will be made regarding WWE leadership. I also put to bed the false stories circulating about Matt Riddle and why he missed RAW. Jade Cargill set to come to WWE, I offer my thoughts on how and when to bring her to main roster. I was a little disappointed on WWE's handling of 9/11 since RAW was actually on 9/11...I explain why. Peacock released another documentary this time on Kurt Angle--I give my very favorable thoughts. Last, but certainly not least, I discuss two decent shows this week for WWE in RAW and SD (nothing overwhelming but not disappointing either).

This week we open with the big news of Jey Uso newest member of the RAW roster; but who goes to SD in trade? Buddy Lee offers his thoughts and who the logical candidate is. AEW had its own big news with the firing of C.M.Punk and the IWC went crazy (as usual); I also comment on the AEW tag titles and where they should go from here (until Wheeler's case is settled). Buddy Lee looks back on the lives of Jimmy Buffett and from the wrestling world, General Adnan al-Kaissie. I do a complete review of Payback and close with a discussion of two average shows this week on RAW and SD.

I open this show with a special commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the "I Have A Dream" speech. Buddy Lee gives his thoughts on what appears to be a strong card at Payback. The World Heavyweight Title will main event and no Bloodline scheduled to appear. I run through the highlights from the RAW and SD go home shows. More news broke surrounding Bray Wyatt's sudden death suggesting it could have been prevented. Buddy Lee has the details. FTR should've dropped the titles at All In, hopefully it'll be corrected at All Out this week-end. I explain my stance on this. I close out with a review of the "Becoming Cody Rhodes" documentary.

This week death hit us with a triple whammy as we lost a Superstar, a Legend and an Icon. Join Buddy Lee as we visit the Firefly Funhouse and DoubleCross Ranch to pay hommage to Bray Wyatt and Terry Funk;and then a trip down The Golden Road to remember Bob Barker. I talk about Cash Wheeler (formerly Dash Wilder WWE) being arrested a month ago for aggrivated assault with a firearm. Meanwhile, Tammy Sytch's sentencing date has been announced for November. Five matches have been confirmed for Payback and we run down the card. I will give my predictions this Fiday on the preview show. I hope to see the Cody Rhodes documentary this week and discuss it on Friday's show, which should be posted around 12am Fri.Night/ Sat. Morning.(EST)

Lacey Evans and WWE agree to a mutual parting of ways. I have all the details on her departure and how WWE messed up her gimmicks.Tammy Sytch enters a "no contest" plea to avoid a trial. Buddy Lee speculates on the sentence she'll likely receive. Bloodline not appearing on SD as WWE gives all members much needed and deserved time off. Payback card beginning to take shape and we look at potential matches to be signed. Edge addresses the crowd in Toronto after SD went off regarding his retirement. I reveal and discuss what he said. A slightly above average RAW still opens & closes with the Judgment Day and SD celebrates 25 Years of Edge and opens with a big U.S. Title angle adding L.A. Knight in the mix. As always I attempt to sort it all out.

Buddy Lee has a lot to sort through in this jam-packed episode. WWE and AEW being sued by the same man for the same thing. I have the details on what he claims they stole and what compensations he demands. WWE shakes up the RAW and SmackDown announce teams at Endeavor's request. Vince Mcmahon subpoenaed to appear before Grand Jury and prosecutors level search warrants on WWE and it's not as bad as it seems. Women's Tag Titles vacant again while the men's have a big question mark. Buddy Lee explains the current state of both sets of gold...or silver...or whatever they are (LOL). I do a full review of Summer Slam talking the hits [Triple threat women's title and Iyo's cash-in and L.A. Knight finally getting a big win on a big show (even if it was only a Battle Royal)] and the misses [the lack of effort from WWE with the MMA and Tribal Combat matches]. We discuss all the ensuing fallout from RAW and SmackDown and the season finale of D.S.O.T.R. - "World According To Marty Jannetty".

Buddy Lee makes his formal picks for the Summer Spectacular. Surprisingly, I go out on a limb on a couple of them. I look back at the lives of Paul Reubens (PeeWee Herman) and "Exotic" Adrian Street. Herman hid a six year battle with cancer from the public while Street tragically succumbed to sepsis. This week's D.S.O.T.R. episode was the most boring one I've seen to date. It focused on the petty behind the scenes arguments involving Hogan, Bischoff and Vince Russo over WCW's Bash At the Beach 2000. Nevertheless, I give my thoughts on this atrosity. We discuss the highlights of RAW and SD; two not very compelling "Go Home" shows for Summer Slam.

WWE continues to feed us King Size orders of The Judgment Day every week; but is it getting to be too much. Buddy Lee discusses whether or not we've reached enough is enough status. Good news: L.A. Knight will be on the Summer Slam card. Bad news: it's in a measly battle royal. Hopefully he can use this as a stepping stone to the U.S. Title (provided Knight wins). I also look at the current state of the U.S. Title and why it's not on the Summer Slam card. Bam Bam Bigelow was featured on this week's D.S.O.T.R. Buddy Lee comments on the episode. We round out with discussion on a pretty good RAW and an average SmackDown.

This week WWE gave us good news [Dirty Dom winning his first singles title] and bad [L.A. Knight gets screwed out of his]. I have a lot to say regarding both subjects. Buddy Lee looks at how this year's Summer Slam card is shaping up. Since I enjoy Samantha Irvin's ring announcing (especially for Imperium) I thought I'd look back at some of the best ring announcers over the years. D.S.O.T.R. featured Abdullah "The Butcher" who for a big man looks good for 82 years old. Buddy Lee debates the controversial claims Abby can't read or write and that he gave Devon "Hannibal" Nichols Hepatitus C.
