WWE
On the landmark 200th episode of Josh Nason’s Punch-Out, we unveil a supersized edition of the show as the 2022 pro wrestling year in review series rolls on.
Post Wrestling’s Andrew Thompson joins me for two hours (!) to talk everything that happened in the month of April, highlighted by WWE WrestleMania 38.
That show featured the in-ring return of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Roman Reigns unifying the WWE World and Universal titles, an all-time awful Vince McMahon bump that was scrubbed from Peacock, the return of Cody Rhodes, and more.
The month also saw an accusation from Tony Khan of an army of anti-AEW Twitter bots powered by a staff running thousands of accounts.
AEW also announced the NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view and the main event for Double or Nothing.
ROH held their first show under the Khan regime that saw surprises, title changes and debuts which included Samoa Joe and a great match between FTR and The Briscoes.
Andrew and I also talk all the news in Japan, Impact and all the other major headlines throughout the month.
