Big Cass, Chad Gable, Becky Lynch, WWE Unreal, Bron-Oba, WWE booking (66 min.)SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
SHOW SUMMARY: In this VIP Aftershow, PWTorch editor Wade Keller and Jason Powell continue their discussion from the Wade Keller Podcast Flagship covering these topics exclusively for VIP members…
- Thoughts on Jason and Wade on the Minnesota Vikings prospects and breaking news on the starting quarterback being named
- Chad Gable over-the-head clap routine resembling the SKOL chant and a key part of Gable’s background WWE is entirely skipping and how it could help him as he struggles to get a strong crowd reaction these days
- Big Cass’s presentation so far
- What’s intriguing about the Bron Breakker-Oba Femi situation but a key aspect that is being downplayed and how it could benefit the story
- Becky Lynch’s return and the continuation of face-face bickering and conflict with Stephanie Vaquer
- Is WWE going to pay a bigger and bigger price if they stay on this course of booking their top acts lately
- Thoughts on WWE Unreal including Paul Levesque vetoing John Cena’s idea to have boring, bad matches on purpose
- Other thoughts on this season of WWE Unreal and will there be another given the lack of top ten rankings on Netflix this season
- The Rock going into music now and whether it’s something to mock or applaud?
- Closing thoughts on The Bloodline situation and the murky muddled interactions between all of the players
- It’s time for WWE to go back to some of the fundamentals that make pro wrestling work rather than trying to produce “cinema” and ambiguous contradictory personalities bickering with bad finishes to key matches that seem more focused on “moments” and “merch” than pulling viewers into compelling stories and battles that they have a rooting interest in.
- Could Cody Rhodes go back to AEW? A compelling case for why he might want to and how it has a possibility of happenings
