On this episode of W2M, we discuss TNA once again being late on paying people on their production staff, the Young Bucks being out of NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors XXIII tournament and who could replace them, whether or not wrestling has athletes anymore, Cedric Alexander possibly going to NXT and of course we cover the go-home RAW headed into WWE Extreme Rules 2016 and preview NJPW Lion’s Gate Project # 2 show that happens on Thursday morning as well.

First, we get into WWE RAW, then we head into that wrestling news, and we end things with the preview of New Japan’s Lion’s Gate Project # 2 show.

WCW Retro with The Stro: UPWA's Velvet Jones

We are starting to hit that lull in the off-season, where not a whole lot is really happening. There is some news to talk about though and we cover as much as we can of it.

Zach Mettenberger has been released by the Titans, we discuss if he has any potential landing spots, there’s some injury news, as Shaq Lawson has to have shoulder surgery and may not be ready to start the season, Sammy Watkins also has a broken bone in his foot as well. The Atlanta Falcons made some waves with their possibly cheaply priced concessions, Jason Jones signs with the Dolphins and Anquan Boldin could go to the Titans.

We also keep things going with our burning questions on some NFL teams. What questions do we ask? Tune in to find out.

This week King & Harry previewed WWE Extreme Rules, discussed The Young Bucks injuries & the effect on #NJPW's Best Of Super Juniors Tourney, more WWE roster cuts, Lilian Garcia's status, & is Christian gone from WWE? WWE's guidelines for new potential women wrestlers. Plus a Special guest appearance from Chris Best. ;)
