It’s Sunday and that means it’s time for another edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, available on YouTube or by clicking below.

The wrestling world was rocked this week with the tragic passing of Jay Briscoe. I talk about how the entire wrestling community came together to show support for his family — even though WBD didn’t want any kind of tribute on this past week’s AEW Dynamite.

Word came out this week that The Rock may not be ready for a match at WrestleMania. Is this an elaborate work or does it simply mean he will do something else on the show?

During the NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 show in Yokohama featuring NOAH, Okada got into what appeared to be a shoot fight with Kaito Kiyomiya that set up what will be a very anticipated singles match. We discuss.

Plus, I talk front office changes in WWE, an early WWE Royal Rumble preview, The Great Muta’s last match, and more.

It’s Saturday so that means another packed 40-minute edition of Wrestling Observer Live.

We touch on the real-life tragedy that saw Jay Briscoe pass away earlier this week. In this case, the tragedy isn’t that he didn’t get to spend his life on the road away from his community and family. Life isn’t your job and the outpouring of love and respect is worth more than any world championship. 

We shift back to pro wrestling and talk about the “reheatability” of Kevin Owens. We know he’s going to lose at next Saturday’s WWE Royal Rumble, but we don’t care.

Given the return of Vince McMahon, we should all start wearing bracelets that say WWNKD (What Would Nick Khan Do?)

Plus, Mutoh vs. Naito, Okada, Kiyomiya, NOAH-NJPW, Mercedes Mone, WWE SmackDown, WWE Raw XXX, and much more.

I am back with another episode of Wrestling Observer Live.

On the Sunday edition, Wrestling Observer Newsletter founder Dave Meltzer joins me as we discuss the latest in the possible sale of WWE, Stephanie McMahon’s resignation, and who the likely potential buyer will be.

Also, we talk some UFC and discuss Francis Ngannou being stripped of the UFC heavyweight title due to failed contract negotiations. What’s next for him and could he be lining himself up for a big boxing match with Tyson Fury?

Plus, AEW Rampage had a very bloody main event, MJF cut promos on everyone on last Wednesday’s Dynamite, and we ask the question of whether Mercedes Mone will show up in AEW at some point.

It’s Saturday and that means it’s time for Wrestling Observer Live.

As you may have heard on social media, I am now on the kidney transplant list. I give an update on how you can donate if interested.

We then get into all the pro wrestling action for Friday plus the backstage meeting with all WWE talent that revealed that we talked about last week was true: of course, Vince McMahon talks to Triple H about creative.

An excellent week of televised wrestling was capped off Friday including Gunther vs. Braun Strowman, and Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens on a strong episode of SmackDown. We got a very violent and bloody women’s tag team match to cap off a solid AEW Rampage in addition to Impact’s Hard to Kill, the return of Santino Marella, and the moment when we all googled Paul Walter Hauser and went, “Oh right, that guy.”

It’s a jam packed show so check it out.
