The build for WrestleMania has been lackluster at best and WWE are starting to push the panic button on this years Mania. John Cena is the host, matches thrown together with no story, Roman and CM Punk has been good but hasn't felt like we got into second gear. Cody and Randy is soooo backwards that no matter what Randy does he is a babyface. The one only thing that we have that feels fresh is Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar. We give our thoughts on the build to Mania and what NEEDS to change. Sycho Sid and Bad News Brown are headed to the WWE HOF but as part of their legacy wing? The legacy wing is known as the "black & whites" and we feels they deserve more than that or maybe we are looking at this the wrong way. We give our thoughts on it and maybe feel it's not so bad. AEW has been climbing and Lio Rush has a new gimmick that is very creepy but awesome.

A lot to get into this week. John Cena's final match is Saturday and GUNTHER has won the tournament but should he beat Cena? We look at how we got to this point and why this whole John Cena retirement tour has it's ups and downs and what mistakes they need to fix going into next year with AJ Styles. NTX Deadline saw Oba Femi win back the NXT championship and the return of Tony D'Angelo. What does this mean going forward with Ricky Saints? AEW has a new TV deal with AMC which is great for TNA but what does this mean for the partnership with WWE? Netflix won the biding war but Paramount is doing a hostile takeover attempt to get WBD! What does all this mean for AEW?

This week we got to talk about this Westside Gunn situation with WWE because they are being petty and WWE makes it hard to be a wrestling fan. Me and Prime break this down and what this could mean going forward with WWE. John Cena becomes and grand slam champion but does that change the outcome of the tournament? Zack Ryder makes his "return" in this tournament but is it permeated? AEW had it's Blood and Guts show and had the FIRST EVER women's Blood & Guts match and we think they did better then the men or was it because they went first? AEW Full Gear is next Saturday and we give our predictions.

WWE had Crown Jewel this pass weekend and it was better than Wrestlepalooza! John Cena and AJ Styles had a classic as Cena gave tribute to all of his opponents over the years! AJ Styles is on his way out as well and did the same which made this match a match of the year candidate. Seth Rollins finally beats Cody but did it come at a cost because the Vision have turned their back on Rollins and where does that leave Rollins, The Vision and War Games? TNA had their biggest show of the year and we enjoyed the show BUT TNA finds a way to TNA something. We had draws, non finishes, no contest and a fake cash in which this could have been the show of the year if they took all that stuff out. Join us as we break down Bound for Glory and why TNA is still got great days to come. All this and more so join us for great wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!
