Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!Impact Wrestling hits 1000 episodes this week and that has Solomonster feeling nostalgic about the good and the bad we've gotten from Impact over the past 20-plus years. He also talks about the death of Adnan Al-Kaissie, or General Adnan from his time in WWE with Sgt. Slaughter, and shares some interesting tales from his life as a childhood friend of Saddam Hussein and the time Saddam threatened to shoot Andre in the head during a match in Iraq... a historic week coming up with the close of the Endeavor deal for WWE, why their employees are worried and what it means for the fans who watch the product...

WRESTLEMANIA 40 may still be seven months away, but some of the key matches for the show seem clear at this point, and he runs down what those and other matches may be and where other people fit into those plans... then on the AEW front, he's got MORE FALLOUT from the CM Punk termination including reaction from some of the top stars in WWE, the rumored idea Punk had for a return earlier this year and why it was never going to happen, Ace Steel released from his AEW contract and the legal letter sent by Punk to The Elite over a BTE skit...

Sometimes, life is just unfair. That was certainly the case this week with the shocking news that Bray Wyatt had passed away, only 24 hours after WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk passed away. Solomonster has a lot to say about both men, their careers, their most memorable matches and moments and the impact they made on the industry. He also shares his thoughts on the death of former Price is Right host Bob Barker, who died today and once made a very memorable appearance on Monday Night Raw. But it's not all doom and gloom... he runs down the full card for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium with PREDICTIONS for the biggest show in AEW history, including who walks out as champion between MJF and Adam Cole, the likely match for CM Punk at All Out next weekend, Chris Jericho attacking Will Ospreay at today's RevPro show and how to book Eddie Kingston now through Grand Slam in NYC... the latest chapter in THE MANY LIES OF HULK HOGAN as he makes the rounds to promote his new CBD line... Edge REFUTES a Pro Wrestling Torch report about WWE rejecting his contract request and how likely it is that he ends up going to AEW... The Judgment Day problem plaguing Monday Night Raw... Devon Nicholson SUED by the referee he mutilated two years ago at an independent show... and NXT HEATWAVE thoughts on the amazing match between Ilya Dragunov and Trick Williams, the Global Heritage Invitational with NXT running it's own G1 Climax-style round robin tournament and the names already announced for it!

First came the WWE employee cuts, then came the talent cuts... more than TWO DOZEN in total, including names like Matt Riddle, Dolph Ziggler and Mustafa Ali. Solomonster explains how Riddle pissed away the best money run of his career and where he may end up next, why people should not feel bad about the all the missed opportunities with Ziggler and why Emma wins for Sad Tweet after some unfortunate timing... plus, news on Elimination Chamber coming to Australia... Smackdown LEAVING FOX and moving back to USA Network, how much they're reportedly getting, possible nights the show could air other than Friday and could it move to three hours?... Monday Night Raw and NXT said to be leaving USA, possible homes for both shows and could Raw be moving to a new night?... Vince McMahon addresses WWE employees and makes a statement about the sale of the company that is so preposterous, it had people rolling their eyes, why it's all bullshit and it was never about anything but retaining power and sticking it to the people who forced him out in the first place, the legal peril he still faces that could end with him leaving the company after all, and Endeavor ADMITS he is a potential liability to their company... LA Knight misses a HUGE segment on Smackdown after testing positive for COVID... pitching an idea for Jade Cargill to debut and take the NXT Women's championship from Becky Lynch... CM Punk said to NOT be taking Tony Khan and AEW court over his termination... AEW GRAND SLAM thoughts and the latest on injuries to Adam Cole and Jon Moxley... why Rick Knox is the worst referee of all time... the latest on Darby Allin climbing Mount Everest... the current lineup for WRESTLEDREAM next Sunday and an odd tease from Tony Khan... NXT NO MERCY PREDICTIONS for Saturday's show including a new NXT champion crowned... and YOUR QUESTIONS on Jim Cornette's fantasy booking for Rock vs. Roman Reigns and CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania, will Tony Khan release AEW stars like WWE did this week, a bizarre concept pitched for future Money in the Bank matches, and who will go down as the bigger WHAT IF in WWE history between Matt Riddle and Velveteen Dream?
