Jerome Cusson and Ryan Rozanski are back for the first part at 2010 so far. They discuss TNA, PWG, and ROH in-depth, all the positives and negatives of each company. Among the topics are Abyss’ character, the failure of the Monday Night Wars, PWG’s rising young local stars, and the concept of the iPPV as a future revenue stream for many other independent wrestling companies. Then, things get a little heated when Ryan and Jerome discuss the MVP of PWG. You the listener can decide who’s right by downloading the podcast right now.

Jerome Cusson is joined by the very European Matt Waters for a discussion on the apparent release of Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan. They discuss what it means for WWE, TNA, ROH, and DG USA. Then it’s on to PWG results. Then it’s on to TNA. A fun show made even better by the phrase “take the piss out of” being used within wrestling context CORRECTLY.

We’ve likely all heard statements similar to these in our life time, so I thought I’d devote an article to the defense of our shared passion, highlighting the issues the non-fans take with it and the many wonderful things we love about it. Read the rest of this entry

Matt’s Classics for the week is up a day early this week! I’m gonna be out of town so I figured I’d throw it up early. This weeks review is long. Very, very long.
