Real Graps

Another Retirement down, and done as perfectly as it could be. Hiroshi Tanahashi has retired from professional wrestling after 26 years. we discuss his match with Okada, The IWGP Heavyweight title match, The first 3 hour smackdown of 2026, what the hell is going on wiht NXT, and the curious case of how AEW should do better when setting up one off title matches.

We made it back from the World's End, and into the new year! we talk at length about what WWE needs to do going forward into 2026, The Continental Classic, Oba Femi vs Bron Breakker, how Seth Rollins has ruined the last couple of months of WWE TV and the thriller at the end of this week's Dynamite.

Its CHRISTMAS!(or it was when we recorded this) WWE has absolutely nothing to offer but for you to watch the Netflix anniversary show. over in AEW the Continental Classic hits a fever pitch with two action packed shows in this weeks Dynamite and Collision, and Tux absolutely loses his mind as we mull over the World's End card

This week we say goodbye to The Never Seen 17, WWE's Greatest Of All Time, John Cena. as well as dealing with NXT, and more Continental Classic goodness over in AEW.

John Cena is retiring soon, on this week we discuss the penultimate smackdown, ROH final battle, more continental classic goodness between collision and dynamite, a RAW with an interesting ending, GUNTHER criticism, LA Knight, and John Cena potentially opening Saturday Night's Main Event

This past weekend was the survivor series, we cover not only the go home smackdown, but the best wrestling on tv show collision, Monday Night RAW, the go home NXT for Deadline, and more continental classic goodness on Dynamite featuring Jon Moxley vs Claudio Castagnoli in the main event.

Across both companies, across all shows, there are multiple issues that arent being addressed because nobody cares enough.

NXT's on a Gold Rush, smackdown is somehow getting worse, raw ends with a survivor series update, and ive absolutely had it with the state of AEW's booking and Tony Khans incessant need to ignore over half his roster for 6 people

AEW Presents Blood and Guts is the big deal for this week, also the john cena retirement tournament kicks off, and the oddest NXT show anyone has ever seen.

Saturday Nights Main Event, as well as our weeklies. and a riveting news corner. we also discuss the mayu iwatani/iyo sky match from marigold.

ITS HALLOWEEN! actually, as we tackle the past Halloween Havoc, the penultimate Smackdown, and the Go-Home RAW before Saturday Night's Main Event. on NXT we see what exactly the fallout is from halloween havoc, and over in AEW things just continue to get stranger and stranger.

This week we dive into more andrade contract nonsense, another look into the jazmyn nyx news. AEW's WrestleDream this past weekend, a disgustingly tilting episode of Smackdown, RAW, Dynamite, and the go-home NXT show before Halloween Havoc.

This week is all about the down under. Crown Jewel Perth, and the go home smackdown as well as the RAW after. We then stop down at NXT post TNA Bound for Glory, and The Go-Home Dynamite before WrestleDream

Its TNA, its NXT, its a showdown! and over on RAW theyre having another generational disaster go home show, AEW is building towards wrestledream, and darby allin once again is a questionable individual

Night 2. NXT is honestly one of the worst shows on television, the only thing stopping them is the fact that TNA exists. we dive into the NXT PPV, the fallout, and the future. Over in AEW tony khan's got a big announcement, as well as the "debut?" of a new team, much to my horror.

Night 1 of another between two graps special where we split the week in half. on the eve of no mercy we had "last week"s dynamite, collision, smackdown and the CMLL Pokemon Legends Special.

because tux has prior engagements, this episode was recorded before/during the 9/24 episode of dynamite which is why it isnt discussed on here, but from what we learned during the show it wasnt much of a fall out show. we'll discuss it on the next slate of shows. but this episode details the fall out RAW and the go home NXT before No Mercy, as odd of a go-home episode as it could possibly be.

The weekend has come and gone, it was the hbo max era of aew ppvs vs the espn era of wwe ppvs, how did each show stack up and how did the go home smackdown sweeten the deal for wwe?

On this week's issue we discuss the various go home shows from both companies

On the road to All Out and Wrestlepalooza weekend, we tackle the penultimate RAW/Dynamite/Collision as well as various news snippets from the week.

This week we got Clash in Paris, it was certainly a show. WWE and AEW are barreling towards a heavyweight matchup on the 20th. We have a AAA show next week and only one match signed for it, does WWE even care? find out all that and more in this weeks episode of Real Graps

Forbidden Door and Heatwave have passed and coming out of them is some big news, the top of AEW's Mens Division has changed drastically and dynamite doesnt exactly tell us what to look forward to, on the main roster WWE side of things we discuss the penultimate and go-home smackdown and raw respectively.

On the eve of forbidden door, AEW has chosen to have one of the more odder, if that even is a word, go home shows, chock full of last minute changes and story wrinkles nobody, not even faithfuls have asked for, meanwhile WWE is gearing up for its overseas tour, with even more questionable build than AEW.

Im not gonna lie, i dont even know how this went so long, but dont worry, starting next week we've got a brand new format that we're going to stick to, we promise. as for the show content, its the same ol slop with a good dynamite at the end.

Doubled up on Real Graps goodness, we take on this weeks Collision, RAW, NXT, and Dynamite. over in WWE the brock lesnar cloud is hovering over and paul heyman is causing more trouble off tv, whereas in AEW we have a new face of TNT, an incredible stokely promo, and more MJF lore.
