Ep 49! We are back with a look at WWE's WrestlePalooza, and then Cena's Retirement run. Next up: AEW's All Out. Title matches, returns, and the state of AEW's TV via Darby vs Mox. Finally, how's the business case for Hangman's title reign? redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

YES DO ALL YOUR BOYFRIEND'S MOVES

This was so bad.

In the past I feel like Dave Meltzer would write something like this--a thorough and honest breakdown of the situation heading into a huge weekend. Dave's still capable of that, but I really appreciate having people like Trish putting in the time and effort to give this kind of analysis.

It's the 10th Edition of the Social Suplex Newsletter, and this time out, its our tournament special! On our Front Page, Tim and Chris combine for coverage of the final nights of Stardom's 5 Star Grand Prix and victory for Momo Watanabe. www.socialsuplex.com/frontpage-10/

I hate to crush the hopes of the people who want Jericho gone but every time a Barry Bloom client has been a few months away from their contract expiration stories about how WWE is interested in them pop up, and then they re-sign shortly afterwards.

Ep 47! We start with Brock Lesnar's reappearance in WWE. Then two huge new deals for TKO- WWE's PLEs go to ESPN and UFC goes to Paramount+. What's up with TNA? Then- Forbidden Door, some initial G1 thoughts and a quick chat about the Hurt Syndicate. redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

A huge thank you to the people who performed on and helped produce the #WorldsLongestMatch. One the stupidest things I’ve ever attempted. The new unofficial record of 21 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds is now held by @mysterywrestling.bsky.social!

Here you go! @trishsp.bsky.social, I took some artistic license, hope that’s ok!! youtu.be/yT64BDJmuPQ?...

Truly comprehensive coverage from the team that is available without a paywall. Come and join us! Scheduling Note: The next Social Suplex Newsletter will be on August 22nd as we adapt our timings to make delivery dates more regular.

Ep 46- We start with an important disclaimer, and then a discussion of Summer Slam Night 1: WWE's need for "moments," the terrible main event, their embrace of MAGA, and tribute to Hogan. Then, on to AEW to discuss TV defenses, ratings, and residencies. redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

Has more tv time ever been devoted to an angle that went to as few places as this angle did?

Chuck Mangione died!?!?!?

Dave is going to do a solid 15 minutes of fretting about Ospreay’s back tonight, including telling us that his flying to tv was dumb. It will not occur to him that we’re being worked.

Ep 45 and we go All In! The crowd, the atmosphere, the look, and the length. Then a comparison of two tag matches, some numbers talk and then an in-depth look at the triple main event! Plus- Hangman post victory and a quick discussion of Tony Khan's recent interview. redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

With a large part of our team away this weekend, our newsletter will be delayed a week. Until then, we are proud to bring you a half year awards issue, where we look at the best and worst of 2025 so far, as well as our hopes for the next 6 months www.socialsuplex.com/best-of-2025...

On my way home after an incredible weekend. I’m so glad I made the trip! I am so glad to have met so many awesome people- and a big hug for my @socialsuplex.bsky.social sisters and brothers. An absolutely fantastic show and experience.

social suplex meetup last night was amazing

Wearing a classic @ofooro.bsky.social Best Friends shirt for my travels and I got a compliment on it before I got off the plane.

It’s very obvious Mox can’t handle Hangman getting his life in order. Despite telling him these last few weeks to get his shit together. He actually doesn’t want that, he wants a messy, emotionally stunted, ball of rage. He wants him to wallow in misery with him, because that’s how he’d win.

We will NOT have a new episode this week because ya girls will be headed to texas for ALL IN!! Tunnel Talk, Trish and Sarah, One Nation Radio, Keeping it Strong Style and All Things Elite will be at the All In afterparty. Once we find a good spot to hang, we’ll tweet our exact location!

Will be joining Brandon and John to discuss All In business, as well as WWE's counter strategies. Come join us!

Ep 44! We start with our AEW All In Preview. Then, WWE's counterprogramming strategy. Is it working? NJPW- Goto is out of the G1- what does this mean for Tanahashi? Finally, we answer YOUR questions! redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

As he finally decides to leave wrestling alone, I exposed Goldberg one last time. Give it a read! 🤼

Me on September 2nd, 2023

I think my hot AEW take is this current run they’re on is the first time they’ve truly been good entirely on their own merit. No founding momentum, no monthly debuts and jumps - just a great core roster delivering reliably great TV every week.

We are doing an extra pod next week and opening things up for listener questions. Anything you've wanted to know? As us here: forms.gle/yffwgqVpB5dy...

Ep 43! We start with the CM Punk in Saudi Arabia. The shoving! The apology! Punkanomics! The match! Then how a bad night for AEW in January changed the plan for 2025. Plus- Hangman in Arena Mexico. Finally, NJPW. Goto has lost the belt, and Trish loses her mind. redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

Bryan has always been kind of a high-strung pundit, but he's reaching a really dangerous tipping point where he has started viewing himself as some sort of knight fighting a crusade against "crazy AEW fans" and that has led to a lot of his takes coming across as very defensive.

Ep 42 & we start with All In! Mone vs Storm, Omega vs Okada, Mox vs Hangman and ticket sales. Next- 4 hour shows and what is up with the Hurt Syndicate? WWE! Punk goes to Saudi, R Truth is back, and the WWE women's division. Finally- NJPW and Dominion. redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

I really enjoyed the @socialsuplexnl.bsky.social newsletter. It's free to read and covers a broad range of wrestling with long in-depth pieces. Highly recommended

I will never apologize for a post

A new podcast from me-- @luchablog.bsky.social returns to the show to talk about WWE purchasing AAA, what WWE's goals may be with the AAA purchase, expansion of Lucha under the WWE umbrella, how that impacts CMLL and more. redcircle.com/shows/a5213c...

Ep41! First- the Owen Final between Mercedes and Jamie, and then Anarchy in the Arena & Gabe Kidd in AEW. Then! Hangman vs Ospreay- the build, the match, what happens next? We look at AEW's residencies before we finish with changes to upcoming WWE PLEs redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

🤯🥰😭 🤠

theres a certain every other week podcast that has been on top of this

If the Bucks don’t come out in tactical vests, throw it away

I don't think people give Tunnel Talk enough credit. The Young Bucks outfits have a very clear Before That Podcast era and After That Podcast era. #AEWDynamite

I got to join Tim to discuss Stardom's biggest ever show, wrestling loss, Japanese developmental systems and even a Eurovision mention!

I’ll be real, the AEW social media account posting Toni’s “I am here and I am queer” promo on Twitter, where it’s currently overran by tribalists and bigoted assholes in the replies. And not posting it on BlueSky where they’d get overwhelming praise. Baffles me to no end.

@SocialSuplex Newsletter 3 is live last night with an incredible look into Stardom's biggest ever show as well as the career of Saya Kamitani, a Wrestlemania road diary, a look at if the money is in the chase and a profile on IWGP Champion Hirooki Goto. socialsuplex.com/frontpage/

Damn they did that WM roast where Heyman called Strowman a dogshit wrestler and said Baszler had a dick just to fire both of them like 2 weeks later. Profound family environment over there.

Thanks to @richlatta.bsky.social for the idea. youtu.be/7z3oYQV5L2w?...

Episode 40! First up: WrestleMania 41. Has WWE strayed from what drove their recent growth? Then- Triple H and the Rock and the Mania Week PR blitz. WWE is buying AAA!? A quick look at Stardom, then- Naito's impending departure from NJPW. redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

few will stand up and say "daniel garcia and FTR deserve emmy nominations for their work on last week's collision" but this podcast is brave enough to shout it with their full chests youtu.be/EzC5RcuUoD4

Seems like a good time to plug my article from yesterday on who really dropped the ball at WrestleMania.

here's our segment from sunday's episode about the MJF/Hurt People promo. if you felt gross afterwards too, we encourage you to join us in sending an email to [email protected] telling them what a bummer it was. youtu.be/_EXaagAVIGM
