Wrestle Dream was a sneakily good show that got a bum rap. Mox and Mark Davis had a five-star brawl, Ilia Dragunov showed up and looked like a million bucks, and the Clockwork Carnage worked well enough that Warren never wants to see it used for a title defense again. Also, the Max Caster TNA situation has a full picture now and it is very LOLTNA.

⏱️ What we cover:

• Wrestle Dream 2026 full review, including why Mox vs Davis is a match of the year contender
• Ilia Dragunov is All Elite and the debut ruled
• TNA hired the edgy rap guy and didn’t vet the edgy rap

AEW went three hours in Cleveland for suspense-less Clockwork Carnage qualifiers. But Adam Copeland announced 2027 is his retirement year, and FTR vs Motor City Machine Guns best of five is happening, so some surprises were notable.

Here's the full description:

New Japan has Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay, Jon Moxley, and MJF all circling their biggest show of the year and is not convinced this is a sign of strength. Also, Cody Rhodes re-signed with WWE and Max Caster has had quite an eventful start to free agency, hasn't he?

⏱️ What we cover:

• NJPW King of Pro Wrestling review, and why leaning this hard on AEW talent is an indictment of New Japan's roster building
• Cody Rhodes is a WWE lifer now
• Max Caster, TNA, and whoo whee

What do you feel about the Wrestle Kingdom build so far? Let me know in the comments!

AEW took Dynamite to Paris for the first time and stacked the card accordingly. 6,400 fans in the Adidas Arena, an excellent main event, and a show that had Warren asking why every Dynamite can’t just be like this.

Ospreay vs Okada delivered, Darby bled and Samoa Joe ate Jack Perry for lunch. Let's talk about it.

Today, we talk about the beautiful and touching AEW Dyanmite tribute show to PAC, on September 30, 2026. I don't know if it's a review, but I do want to chat about it. AEW is so good at these shows, I hope I never see one again. Join me, if you'd like.

This week's episode starts on a difficult note. PAC, Benjamin Satterly, passed away suddenly at 40, the day after performing in a ring. Warren shares his memories and what made him one of the most special wrestlers of his generation.

Then: AEW All Out and NJPW Destruction in Kobe reviews, and the Janelle Grant headlines that wrestling media got badly wrong.

AEW Dynamite's go-home show for All Out had good wrestling on it. But, despite it all, too much of this show felt like it was produced by people with a very specific other employer on their résumé.

⏱️ What we cover:

- The Swerve and New Level opening segment talked down to me

- The TLC match face-to-face put tables and ladders and chairs around the ring so you'd understand what a tables and ladders and chairs match is

- Tommaso Ciampa promo'ing Kazuchika Okada fired me up

CMLL held its anniversary show this week, in which Místico vs Averno and Soberano Jr. vs Bandido were two of the best CMLL matches of 2026. Also, Mara Sade is apparently All Elite, Kota Ibush gave an injury update. Oh, and Paul Levesque got an advance copy of a book and thinks he read it.

⏱️ What we cover:

• CMLL 93 Aniversario review, and why the best singles rivalries deserved more room than they got

• Mara Sade's AEW signing, and whether CMLL's luchadores being back on the MLW roster page means the partnership is back on
• The "too much wrestling" argument is a content creator problem only CONFIRMED thanks to All Out and Worlds Collide

What was your match of the night at the Aniversario? Let me know in the comments!
