The Wrestling Caucus

This week on The Wrestling Caucus, Peter A and smileyarriaga discuss 10 years of Brock Lesnar's second run with WWE that started with the night after Wrestlemania 28 in 2012 and is still going on as he heads to Wrestlemania 38 to once again challenge Roman Reigns. Listen as the two brothers talk up his return match against John Cena at Extreme Rules 2012, the second Goldberg program that arguably made up for their Wrestlemania 20 match (yikes), his fantastic one-offs with AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson, and more!

The Wrestling Caucus returns a week later to recap the loaded, star-heavy AEW Revolution show! Peter A and smileyarriaga talk the intense MJF and CM Punk Dog Collar war and why you must go out of your way to watch it. The fantastic opener which had Eddie Kingston beating the respect out of Chris Jericho which proves wrestling can be great when its simple. Speaking of which, Peter and Smiley discuss why Jade Cargil and Tay Conti accomplished so much by doing so little.

The Wrestling Caucus kicks off March previewing AEW's first PPV of 2022, Revolution! Peter A and smileyarriaga run down the nine match card for tomorrow's (March 6th) show including the Dog Collar match between CM Punk and MJF, the interesting "Sports Entertainment" vs "Pro wrestling" program between Eddie Kingston and Chris Jericho, and the two possible outcomes of the Face of The Revolution ladder match. The two brothers also talk up both Women's title matches including the AEW Women's World Title match between Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa which follows up their famous unsanctioned match last year. Lets not forget Jade Cargill's undefeated streak is on the line as well as her TBS Title against the returning Tay Conti! Will Tay's karate shit be enough to give Cargil her first loss? We shall see.

The Wrestling Caucus kicks off 2022 talking about the big and bland The Wrld on GCW show, the equally bland Royal Rumble with very few bright spots and the fantastic CM Punk and MJF match last week on Dynamite. We also had some words about that ridiculous Cody Rhodes fourth wall shattering promo and that embarrassing Brandy Rhodes and Dan Lambert segment. Lastly, AEW needs to retire the unsanctioned match stipulation for a while and we explain why.

This week on The Wrestling Caucus, we recap what was probably the best AEW Full Gear card since its inception in 2019. I (Peter A) was at the Target Center in Minneapolis and Smileyarriaga was back in New York watching it on PPV. I noticed a lot of CM Punk merch and Smiley, (among others) had issues with the PPV broadcast. Punk and Kingston beat the shit out of each other without traditional heel and face dynamics, Britt Baker is amazing, Tay Conti is a future star, Bryan Danielson is probably the best wrestler in the world (no secret), Thunder Rosa on the Buy In is questionable at best, and Mr Cowboy Shit finally beat Kenny! AEW seems to be investing in the future but I really wish they would do so in under four hours.

On a brand new episode of The Wrestling Caucus, we talk up the WWE Champion, Big E and the meaning behind his recent interview on The Breakfast Club, why everyone should pay attention to All Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling NOAH, and the recent troubling news regarding Ring of Honor. We also talk up one of the most important aspects of wrestling, psychology. We're much more positive this week, trust us.

Returning from our apathetic nap, The Wrestling Caucus is back to discuss whether or not to talk WWE on this show unless theres a Dwayne Johnson level angle that takes place. Why? World Wrestling Entertainment is void of any wrestling logic and has not been very entertaining as of late. Dolls, zombies, a minority of compelling characters and a complete lack of cohesive storytelling have made it impossible to watch this promotion from a week to week basis. We also give our thoughts from attending both AEW Dynamite shows in the tri-state area at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ and at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, NY. 

This week on The Wrestling Caucus, myself (Peter A) and smileyarriaga talk interviewers in wrestling. What about them you say? Well, smiley was annoyed seeing how interviewers were portrayed on TV. He has a point because in WWE, interviewers can come across as robotic tools with no credibility or personality. In AEW, some of their more credible interviewers are not taken seriously by the wrestlers because they are either shoved aside, super kicked, and they usually have their mics taken away from them. I personally think pro-wrestling is moving away from establishing new credible interviewers. Alicia Atout from MLW seems to be the exception but hopefully she will become the rule.

On June 27th, 2011, CM Punk cut his infamous "pipebomb" promo, a worked shoot angle that turned him into one of the most popular starts in WWE. Ten years later, The Wrestling Caucus, Peter A and smileyarriaga reflect on The Summer of Punk and how his momentum was squandered that summer by getting into a pointless program with Kevin Nash and subsequently losing clean to Triple H, who transitioning into an office role both in storyline and in real life. Throughout the 2010's, Becky Lynch, Daniel Brian, and Kofi Kingston all built an organic connection with WWE fans similar to CM Punk, all to have their momentum slowed down in some form.
