VOC Nation Wrestling Network

The holidays has made it hard for us to get together and do a podcast, but we've finally found a day that works and thus let's us squeeze one more show into 2015.

There isn't a ton of news, so the bulk of the podcast will be spent looking back at the year that was. Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss their Top 10 Games of 2015, which were two of 12 people that contributed to the overall 411 Games Top 10 list that will be revealed next week in a special 411 Game Awards Column.

We also discuss some underrated games from this year, discuss some of our most anticipated for next year, and maybe a few other things too.

There is some news like Sean's favorite Final Fantasy IX finally coming to PC and mobile, EA deciding on no Episode VII content for Star Wars Battlefront, Uncharted 4 being delayed again, a Russian man suing Bethesda, Star Wars: Force Awakens making Disney lots of cash and more.

This week on W2M, we headline with a full NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 Preview and give out our third annual W2M Awards, as voted on by you the listeners. The three of us will also give our individual choices for categories like:  Wrestler of the Year, Match of the Year, Promotion of the Year, Major show or PPV of the Year and so on. There are 14 categories in all and we have discussions about each one.  

Of course, we start things by discussing the wrestling news in “Quick Hits” (13:00-35:25) where we talk about WWE being concerned about Finn Balor and Bayley, Cameron promising to improve, Hernandez wanting to sue Lucha Underground, the next WWE Network special, The Mighty Don’t Kneel could be headed to WWE, and more.  

We reveal the award winners for biggest disappointment, Tag Team of the Year, Most Impactful NXT call-up of the Year, and NXT Rookie of the Year (35:25- 56:15.)

We move on to answer our questions about the final WWE RAW of 2015 (56:15-1:29:10)

We give out another batch of awards here with Best Commentary Team of the Year, Best Non-Wrestler of the Year, Worst Major Show of the Year, Biggest News Story of the Year, and Most Improved Wrestler of the Year (1:29:10-1:50:35)

The other three shows we cover are all doing best of episodes for this week, so this episode will be shorter on actual reviews.

However, that gives us more time to devote to our NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 Preview (1:50:35-2:16:15.) We go through all of the matches giving our thoughts on what could happen, what we’d like to see happen, and of course we make predictions for it as well.

Finally, we finish out with the last of the awards with Promotion of the Year, Major Show of the Year, Match of the Year, Female Wrestler of the Year, and Male Wrestler of the Year (2:16:15-End.)

Due to the NFL regular season nearly coming to a close and another holiday happening on Thursday night into Friday, we are basically doing two podcasts on one night. Don't worry, we will still be doing all the things we normally do, plus talk about some of the big news of the day like Chip Kelly fired from his position as Philadelphia Eagles head coach and more.

We kick things off with a short post-game for the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos Monday Night Football game. This leads directly into discussing if the Broncos could go far in the playoffs and how AJ McCarron's injury will affect the Bengals going forward.  Then we end things here by talking about Peyton Manning and if we believe the HGH reports (10:00-26:05)

After that, we do a mixture of looking back at NFL Week 16, discussing the games that mattered, our level of concern for each of the playoff teams, and we also do a full NFL Week 17 Preview in here as well making predictions for all of the games and how they affect the playoff scenarios. We also talk about Chip Kelly Fired as Eagles coach, Gus Bradley staying as Jacksonville Jaguars coach, and more in there as well. (26:05-1:47:07)

Then we finish things out with our Top 5 Power Rankings, our Player of the Week and the final College Bowl predictions as well (1:47:07-End.)
