The latest WWE and AEW News and Results
In our rotation of classic pro wrestling shows we are back around to the GKT: The Greatest Kayfabe Tournament.
We ask the question: If pro wrestling were real (not a shoot but the characters as presented on TV were real) who would win? This episode we have two wrestlers from two different generations who are actually very similar: Kenny Omega vs. The Great Muta (Keiji Mutoh).
The listener votes are in, let’s talk about them!
The next match in the ongoing Greatest Kayfabe Tournament has been voted on by you, the listener.
In this episode, we look at one of the greatest wrestlers in history in Lou Thesz and one of the greatest brawlers and wildmen in history in Bruiser Brody.
The two have some history together, but Thesz was from a generation earlier. How did you think Thesz’s mat skill would hold up against the sheer chaos of Brody? Plus, I give you some interesting background bits on both, and the two times they actually shared the ring together.
The next match in the GKT (Greatest Kayfabe Tournament) takes place and you the listeners have voted.

Round two of the Greatest Kayfabe Tournament on the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling show continues with two very different pro wrestlers: the bloodletting Abdullah The Butcher vs. the blood-spilling Keiji “The Great Muta” Mutoh.
Will the versatility of Mutoh be able to overcome the girth and brutality of Abdullah?
You, the listener, voted, and we have our result. Join me as I talk about the career of two of the most polar opposite wrestlers that have faced off yet in the #GKT!
This week on the GKT (Greatest Kayfabe Tournament), we get a battle of the eras. The legendary 20-plus time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair vs. former AEW, AAA, Impact, and IWGP World Champion Kenny Omega.
Both men are in the Observer Hall of Fame. Omega is divisive among modern fans. Many think he is one of the greatest wrestlers in history, while others think he represents everything wrong with the modern era of wrestling. Can the legendary Ric Flair defeat him in this tournament and defend the honor of old school wrestling? You have voted — and we have a winner.
The second round of the GKT (Greatest Kayfabe Tournament) continues with the 50th match in the series: Bruno Sammartino vs. Andre the Giant!

The votes are in for this second-round matchup!
You have voted and we have a winner as two of the biggest heels of all time meet up: The monster, the beast, former UFC champion, and multi-time WWE champion Brock Lesnar vs. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. It may seem like Piper is physically outgunned in this match, and he is, but it never stopped “No Jobs” Piper before.
We talk about the careers of both these men, plus just what it means to be a pro wrestling fan. I think you’ll love this show. Check it out.
Round two of our GKT Greatest Kayfabe Tournament continues, pitting Chris Jericho against Jushin Thunder Liger.
Though these two are contemporaries, they have actually wrestled far fewer times than you might imagine and only once in a singles match. Liger has been a favorite of mine since his debut and Jericho, I believe, is actually historically under-appreciated once you examine his lengthy career.
The votes are in! Who won? Let’s talk about Jericho vs. Liger on this week’s DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show.
