On this W2M episode, So, we apologize for not having W2M EP 224 Pt 1 or a Smackdown Live Review this week. Sean couldn't make it at the regularly scheduled night and Paul is currently on vacation in Disney World.

So, as a make-up for that, Gary and Sean will be doing both Part 1 and Part 2 back to back.

On this episode of W2M, Gary and Sean hit some highlights from WWE Smackdown Live and 205 Live.

After that, they get into Quick Hits. The guys discuss the possible rumors of WWE taking NXT Live in 2017. Would this be a good idea? How does it effect the talent? And should 205 Live go to Full Sail and tape after it? We discuss this, plus, Cody Rhodes joining Bullet Club. Silas Young re-signing with ROH. DDT in Japan deciding to placate to the US audience with its streaming service, plus more.

We also get into a special topic using a great article by Barry Hess over at Voices of Wrestling, you can read the article here (http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2016/12/07/wwe-critics-behind-times-goldberg-new-stars/)

We discuss if WWE is right in trying to use an ensemble cast and 50/50 booking to promote its product. Is the use of megastars passe'? Or is WWE wrong and still needs to find the big stars so that the others can grow around them? Doesn't bringing in past stars indicate WWE needs new stars? We discuss this topic in detail here.

Finally, we end things by taking a look at ROH Final Battle. The results, examining some of the matches, and what lies ahead for the company.
