Has the balance of power finally shifted from WWE to AEW? NXT is dead. Long live NXT 2.0? Marc and John discuss the massive AEW debuts of CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole (bay bay), Ruby Soho, and Malakai Black, along with an all-time bad Summerslam and an all-time great All Out.

Torture Wracked t-shirt has hit Pro Wrestling Tees! New Japan gets their third World Champion in as many months. Marc and John go against the grain by praising WWE Hell in a Cell. Seth Rollins and Cesaro put on a workrate special, while Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley tear the cell apart. Tournament of Survival 666 serves up a smorgasbord of violence, including a Tower of Terror Light Tube Death Match and a Taipei Panes of Glass Death Match. Effy and G-Raver face off in an absolute classic, while Alex Colon celebrates his own Jordan-Bulls 3Peat.

Could we be seeing Aleister Black in AEW? Riho and Serena Deeb deliver one of the matches of the year. Will ‘Hangman’ Adam Page be world champion by the end of 2021? Miro vs. Archer seems like a Street Fighter 2 Turbo match-up. Eddie Kingston is having the absolute time of his life. Does Britt Baker have the potential to be AEW’s biggest cross-over star? Nick Jackson's dye job makes him look like cheugy Hulk Hogan.

Daniel Bryan still wants to have the perfect match. Chris Jericho falls a great distance and Marc is upset about it. Is Will Ospreay the best wrestler in the world? Ricky Shane Page has a room of people screaming in his face without even saying anything. Can you image G-Raver in the G1? Will Kenny Omega ever face Cody Rhodes?
John and Marc discuss NJPW Wrestling Dontaku, AEW’s special Blood & Guts edition of Dynamite, GCW’s Ashes to Ashes, and a special AJW Supercard curated by Torture Wracked’s own Thomas Lloyd, which you can find below!
