    🎙️ Ted Turner, WWE Cuts, and Backlash Somehow Exists This Weekend

    Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 64 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue break down a week where the wrestling itself almost took a backseat to the business behind it. From releases and reported pay cuts to Ted Turner’s passing and a surprisingly loaded Backlash card, there’s a lot to unpack. Show Notes • WWE Releases, Pay Cuts, and a Very Ugly Conversation A PLE is happening this weekend… and somehow it’s barely the biggest story. Ryan and Dom dive into the reported WWE releases and the deeply concerning reports that talent were asked to take significant pay cuts — including Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, one of the most decorated tag teams of all time, reportedly being asked to take a 50% reduction. The Wroundtable discusses what this says about the current WWE/TKO landscape, roster value, and whether the company is losing sight of what made these acts important in the first place. • Backlash Preview: There’s Actually a Wrestling Show This Weekend — Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker This one feels delicate. Ryan and Dom discuss who should win — and more importantly, how WWE avoids cooling off either guy in the process. — Trick Williams vs. Sami Zayn Does Trick finally get revenge for the “gingerbread man” comments? And more importantly… is Sami Zayn finally starting to embrace a darker edge? — Jacob Fatu vs. Roman Reigns: Bloodline Civil War Evolves Every chapter somehow deepens this saga. Ryan and Dom break down how this latest confrontation could push the Bloodline story into even more dangerous territory. • Remembering Ted Turner (1938–2026) The wrestling world lost a giant. Ted Turner passed away at 87, and Ryan and Dom take time to reflect on his impact — not just on pro wrestling, but on sports, television, media, and culture itself. Without Ted Turner: WCW never becomes a national force. Monday Nitro never exists. Vince McMahon never sweats through 83 straight Mondays. The Wroundtable reflects on the chaotic genius of Turner, his role in bringing wrestling further into the mainstream, and why the industry simply doesn’t look the same without him. All that and more on Episode 64 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where the business of wrestling suddenly feels just as important as the matches themselves. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

    🎙️ The Bloodline Isn’t Over, Joe Hendry Appears, and Fatu Levels Up

    Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 63 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue pick up the pieces after WrestleMania 42 and look ahead — because if you thought things were settling down… think again. Show Notes • Roman Reigns & The Bloodline: What Comes Next? This story has moved beyond wrestling angles and into something deeper. Ryan and Dom break down the almost Shakespearean weight of the Bloodline saga — power, loyalty, betrayal — and where Roman Reigns goes from here. • Jacob Fatu and the Tongan Death Grip When Jacob Fatu pulled out the Tongan Death Grip, it felt intentional. Ryan and Dom discuss whether this is just a nod… or a sign that Fatu is tapping into something bigger — something more dangerous — within that lineage. • Joe Hendry Appears (Because They Said His Name) Raw said his name… and sure enough, he showed up. Joe Hendry makes his presence felt and sets his sights on Logan Paul — which, of course, leads to a mini crash-out from Dom about Logan’s… unique way of carrying a championship belt. • Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker: What’s the Next Step? Two paths, both important. Ryan and Dom break down where Seth goes next and how WWE continues to build Bron Breakker without losing momentum after a pivotal WrestleMania season. All that and more on Episode 63 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where the stories don’t end at WrestleMania… they evolve. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

    🎙️ The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: WrestleMania 42 Recap

    Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 62 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue break down WrestleMania 42 — a weekend that truly was the best of times and the worst of times. One night felt rushed and overstuffed. The other delivered exactly what WrestleMania is supposed to be. Show Notes • Night One: Rushed and Overstuffed Saturday never quite found its rhythm. Matches didn’t have time to breathe, the pacing felt off, and the constant ad breaks didn’t help. Ryan and Dom break down why Night One struggled to land. • The Main Event That Didn’t Need to Be Pat McAfee and Jelly Roll closing the show? Ryan and Dom explain why that didn’t belong — and how it hurt the overall feel of Night One. • Night Two: What WrestleMania Should Feel Like Sunday flipped the script completely. Better pacing. Better storytelling. Bigger moments. The Wroundtable breaks down why Night Two worked so well. • IC Ladder Match: Controlled Chaos Done Right An absolute standout. Penta gets the win, but Rey Mysterio continues to defy time. Ryan and Dom dive into why this match hit on every level. • Demon Finn Bálor vs. Dirty Dom: Just Plain Fun Not everything needs to be serious. This match delivered exactly what it needed to — and the Demon’s return added to the moment. • Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley: A Breakthrough Performance This felt different for Jade. Ryan and Dom call it her best WWE match yet and talk about why this could be a turning point. • Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk: Brutal and Beautiful The main event delivered. Physical, emotional, and intense — a true pro wrestling clinic that lived up to the stage. • Rob Parker and the IWC: Let’s Talk About It Comments were made about wrestling fans… and Ryan and Dom have thoughts. The Wroundtable pushes back and defends what makes this fanbase what it is. All that and more on Episode 62 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where WrestleMania was both everything it should be… and everything it shouldn’t. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

    🎙️ WrestleMania Still Matters — Now It Has to Prove It

    Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 61 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue head into WrestleMania 42 with their full preview — and let’s be honest: The build hasn’t been perfect. The noise has been loud. And now? This show has to prove it. Show Notes • WrestleMania Still Matters — Now It Has to Prove It After an uneven road, WrestleMania still carries the weight of the entire industry. Ryan and Dom talk about why it still matters — and what has to hit for this weekend to remind everyone exactly why. • Jacob Fatu vs. Drew McIntyre: Don’t Be Shocked If This Steals Everything This one feels different. The unsanctioned match between Fatu and McIntyre has all the ingredients to take over the weekend. Ryan flashes back to Sami vs. KO (2025) and explains why this could reach that same level. • Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley: Time to Show Up The presence is there. The look is undeniable. Now it’s about execution. Ryan and Dom ask the real question: can Jade rise to the moment? Because Rhea will be ready. • Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar: Still the Best Thing Going Week after week, this has delivered. Ryan and Dom are all-in — and if WWE sticks the landing, this could be the moment that defines Oba Femi. • Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes… and Why Is Pat McAfee Here? There’s still some confusion here. Ryan and Dom break down what McAfee brings to the feud — and whether it enhances the story or distracts from it. • Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk: The Final Call No hedging. Ryan and Dom both land on Roman Reigns going over — and explain why it makes sense, and what it sets up next. All that and more on Episode 61 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where expectations are high… and WrestleMania has something to prove. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

    🎙️ Oba vs Brock Is Stealing WrestleMania, and Something Bigger Is Brewing

    Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 60 One week before WrestleMania 42, Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue break down a show that feels both locked in… and quietly building toward something bigger. Momentum is there. Questions still linger. And behind the scenes? It might not just be about the matches anymore. Show Notes • Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar: Why This Works So Well Another electric segment. Another reminder that this shouldn’t be hitting this hard… but it is. Ryan and Dom ask the obvious question: why is a non-title match featuring someone who’s been on the main roster for less than six months the most compelling thing on the show? Sometimes wrestling finds lightning — and you just let it strike. • Triple H: Underrated Booker or Fairly Criticized? There have been misses. But there have also been some absolute hits. Ryan and Dom take a measured look at Triple H’s booking — and ask the bigger question: how much of the inconsistency is creative… and how much is corporate? • Randy Orton’s “Guide”… Pat McAfee? We’re trying here. We really are. Ryan and Dom attempt to make sense of Randy Orton seemingly being guided by Pat McAfee — a pairing that somehow feels both intriguing and completely out of left field. • WWE vs. TKO? Or Something More Subtle… There’s a tone shift happening. You can feel it. Ryan and Dom discuss whether WWE is quietly planting the seeds for something larger — and if so… whether someone with a certain level of influence might eventually decide to get a little more hands-on. All that and more on Episode 60 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where WrestleMania is almost here… and not everything feels accidental. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

    LA Knight Breaks the Internet, Jade Isn’t Clicking, and Oba Femi Won’t Be Denied

    Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 59 Two weeks away from WrestleMania 42, Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue break down a week that had viral chaos, rising stars, and a few things that just… aren’t working. Momentum is building — just not evenly. Show Notes • LA Knight Breaks the Internet Launching IShowSpeed into his own streaming setup? Yeah… that’ll do it. Ryan and Dom break down the moment that took over social media and what WWE should do next with LA Knight as WrestleMania approaches. • Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley: Why Isn’t This Clicking? This should feel massive. It doesn’t. Ryan and Dom dig into why the feud feels flat, why Jade’s crew isn’t working, and whether the issue is creative, chemistry, or something deeper with Jade’s current run. • Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar: Can’t Miss TV Every week, this delivers. Oba Femi continues to look like a future centerpiece, and this program feels like the best thing going into WrestleMania. The Wroundtable talks about how high this can go — and how important it is that WWE sticks the landing. • Randy Orton: Who’s Been in His Ear? Something’s different about Randy — more calculated, more focused. Ryan and Dom speculate on who might be guiding him behind the scenes… and what it could mean for WrestleMania. All that and more on Episode 59 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where the highs are high, the questions are real, and WrestleMania is right around the corner. 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

    🎙️ CM Punk vs Roman Reigns Gets Personal (And Oba Femi Is Rising Fast)

    Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 58 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue break down a week where things got real, physical, and in some cases… suspiciously better. WrestleMania season is heating up — and for once, it actually feels like it. ⸻ Show Notes • CM Punk & Roman Reigns: When It Gets Real, It Works That segment hit different. Raw. Personal. Uncomfortable in the best way. Ryan and Dom break down why this feud is clicking — and what’s going on with Jimmy and Jey Uso. Are we heading toward a reunion of the original Bloodline… or is something else brewing beneath the surface? • Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar: A Star-Making Program? Everything about this feels big. Oba Femi standing across from Brock Lesnar isn’t just a moment — it could be a launchpad. The Wroundtable discusses how far WWE should take this program and what a true breakout for Oba could look like. • Gunther: Where Is He? As WrestleMania approaches, one major question remains: Where is Gunther? Ryan and Dom talk about what’s next for The Ring General and what kind of role he should have at the Showcase of the Immortals. • SmackDown Feels Different… Wonder Why Since Road Dogg stepped away from SmackDown creative, the show has noticeably improved. Coincidence? Ryan and Dom discuss the shift in tone, pacing, and storytelling — and whether this is the direction WWE should’ve been heading all along. • Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu: Chaos All Night A show-long brawl that actually felt like a fight. Ryan and Dom break down why this worked, what it says about both men, and how it raises the stakes heading into WrestleMania. ⸻ All that and more on Episode 58 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where the road to WrestleMania is finally starting to feel like the road to WrestleMania. ⸻ 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH

    🎙️ Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi Just Changed Everything

    Wrasslin’ Wroundtable Episode 57 Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue are starting to feel something they haven’t in a minute: Actual excitement for WrestleMania season. Which of course means one thing — WWE… please don’t mess this up. ⸻ Show Notes • Oba Femi & Brock Lesnar: Lightning in a Bottle That opening segment on Raw? Different. Oba Femi stepping to Brock Lesnar felt like a true arrival moment. Rarely does wrestling capture that kind of instant electricity — but with The Ruler and The Beast, it might have just happened. Ryan and Dom break down why this worked and just how big it could be. • Randy Orton: Vintage Viper or Next Evolution? Randy’s recent run — especially around Cody Rhodes — feels different. Are we seeing a return to that 2010 apex predator, or is this an even more complete version of Orton? The Wroundtable looks at what might be one of the most dangerous versions of Randy yet. • CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns: Did That Line Elevate the Feud? Punk may be a little long in the tooth — and Roman made sure to say it out loud. But here’s the real question: did that comment actually elevate the feud? Ryan and Dom break down why that line hit harder than everything else in the promo. Was it the truth? The delivery? Or did it finally give Punk something real to fight back against? • Danhausen: From Weird to Dangerous At first it was strange. Now it’s working. Danhausen is quickly becoming a real factor — and now The New Day may be next. Ryan and Dom talk about what’s clicking and how far this very nice, very evil run can go. ⸻ All that and more on Episode 57 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — where optimism is creeping in… cautiously. ⸻ 📲 Stay Connected Follow the Wroundtable… or Danhausen will curse you. 👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wrasslinwroundtable/ 👉 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575895663428 👉 Follow Dom on TikTok (yes, like R-Truth did) https://www.tiktok.com/@whodatrue?_r=1&_t=ZT-94GIllGv5OH
