Also, analysis of the Cody Rhodes-C.M. Punk exchange at the end of Raw. From there, some TNA and NXT topics including NXT announcing they're heading to the venue AEW just ran in Cincinnati.

Then a lot of AEW talk including Kenny Omega-Will Ospreay-Don Callis, Mariah May-Toni Storm, "Hangman" Adam Page-Christopher Daniels, Jeff Jarrett-MJF, and big picture thoughts on AEW's inconsistent emphasis on Collision as a worth-watching show and overall attention to detail at a time when competition is fierce.

They close with reaction to how WWE handled J.D. McDonagh's crash into the announce table that resulted in serious injuries that were, at first, ignored.

-The first segment features Triple H’s media conference call after NXT’s debut on USA Network. He talked about the thought process that went into what to feature on the USA Network debut, Vince McMahon’s involvement and reaction, whether the Full Sail venue is sufficient in the long-run for a national cable show setting, how the show was structured differently because of the split between USA and WWE Network, whether NXT is still developmental, utilizing cruiserweight on the show, and more.

-Then comes an interview Wade Keller and Bruce Mitchell conducted on July 26, 2019 which has never been heard before with Nick “Eugene” Dinsmore which was recorded in front of a live audience at the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame Weekend events in Waterloo, Iowa. at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center. In this interview, he discusses a wide range of fascinating topics including being the initial trainer of some of the top stars of the last 20 years including great stories on early John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Batista, and The Rock. Did Cena come across as a future star right away? Was Lesnar a nice guy and hard worker early? What did he think when he would look at The Rock? What separates the top class of success stories from those who didn’t end up making it from that same class in OVW? He also talks about ribs he played on Matt Striker, what lessons did he learn that he conveys to his students, the controversial aspects of the Eugene character and how it originated and was received, and more

.-Then comes a panel discussion from July 27, 2019 which was recorded in front of a live audience at the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame Weekend events in Waterloo, Iowa. at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center which featured Gerald Brisco, Beth Phoenix, Bob Roop, Baron Von Racshke, and Thunderbolt Patterson. This snippet features Gerald Brisco talking at first about teaming with his brother and feuding with The Funks and Jay Youngblood & Rick Steamboat, then Beth Phoenix speaking about the transition from the Divas ear and her thought on women main eventing WrestleMania, who she thinks are top emerging stars today (outside of WWE), and her desire to see a culture in pro wrestling where kids can see a little bit of themselves in the product no matter their race, background, orientation, or otherwise. In the end, Baron Von Raschke sneaks in a joke about playing his imaginary sister Big Bertha on the air.

Then in a bonus segment from five years ago (12-8-2018), Rich Fann's "Deep Dive" features Zack Heydorn as they delve into the world of entrances for wrestlers. In addition to the skeleton of an entrance, Zack and Rich discuss modern entrances, wrestlers who do “a bit too much” with their entrances, and what could take a good entrance and make it great – particularly wrestlers who can show more personality outside of wrestling than they can en route to the ring.

• A review of last weekend's AEW Rampage and AEW Collision including more Continental Classic tournament matches.
• A review of last night's AEW Dynamite including the MJF-Samoa Joe segment, Adam Copeland-Christian Cage, and more Continental Classic matches.
• A review of Tuesday's NXT episode.
• A review of last week's Smackdown on the eve of Survivor Series including Becky Lynch-Charlotte Flair bickering. Also, reaction to the very big dropoff in viewership with Smackdown on FS1 last Friday compared to typical FS1 dropoffs and compared to a typical Smackdown.
• A review of Monday's episode of Raw beginning with thoughts on the placement of, the build to, and the content of C.M. Punk's return promo. What was the strategy and did it achieve that effectively and was it a sound strategy? Then a walk through Raw including the ebullient Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes addressing War Games and Punk, the Seth Rollins-Drew McIntyre segment, and more.
• Reaction to the PFL purchase of Bellator and what it means for MMA landscape.
• A review of UFC Fight Night from two weekends ago.
  MAILBAG TOPICS:
  
  
• Is WarGames a good gimmick match for WWE?
• If Eddie Kingston or Swerve Strickland win the Continental Classic, does it elevate either of them? Or would it define the whole tournament down as a mid-carder tournament? Or is it just too hard to tell until it plays out?
• How does the Full Gear story with MJF, Adam Cole, and Jay White make any sense? Is AEW looking more and more like a promotion doomed to fail?
• Did AEW fail to capitalize on Swerve's win over Hangman Page?
• Would AEW have been better off if the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega weren't every part of AEW? Is it time for Omega to step back with the pain he's in?
• How did the Young Bucks manage to keep their EVP titles after instigating a confrontation backstage that led to a brawl?
• Why was AEW vilified for the angle substituting Adam Cole (temporarily) for MJF at Full Gear while WWE got a pass for the tease of Randy Orton not showing up for WarGames?
• Is the ring style Wade advocated for on the PPV Roundtable after Full Gear superior or would matches look too similar to each other like in WWE?
