We’re back after two weeks off, ready to dive into some wrestling talk! First up, we get to tell you all about our trip to Wisconsin for RPW Destiny V weekend. We had so much fun being able to interview some great wrestlers like Buff Bagwell, Silas Young and more. Destiny V itself was a fantastic show filled with surprises like Ragin’ Rich taking a stunner from Jordan Blu. We got to talk to Jordan Blu and Kaci Lennox at the RPW Destiny V after party and take part in picking the match of the night, as well. Great weekend. Great fun. Thank you so much to Rich Buchholtz for making it happen, for his hospitality…and for taking that stunner like a champ.

In our News & Notes, we discuss more of the aftermath of the Raja Jackson/Syko Stu incident, including charges for Raja and the end of a career for Stu. We discuss several of IWX’s top ranked champions falling over the past two weeks, such as Connor Hopkins and Carter BlaQ. Bob tells Jon he needs to watch the House of Glory show from last weekend. The Mane Event fell to The Hardyz. Charles Mason and Man Like Dereiss put on a match of the year candidate, and Matt Cardona’s promo cut off by technical issues.

Finally, Bob previews some BIG changes coming to the IWX Indy Wrestler Rankings, starting November 1, including the additions of GCW, OVW, DEFY and many more. Stay tuned to our socials for more information in the weeks to come.
