The Heel and Face Podcast

I begin the podcast with Vice TV, and I end it with Vice TV.   MLW Fightland is coming up on Thursday.  I make some off-handed predictions in my preview.   Kanyon has a tragic life.  Mental health is no joke. There was another WWE Draft. https://linktr.ee/theheelandfacepodcast

If he walks like a Steiner, talks like a Steiner, dresses like a Steiner, wrestles like a Steiner, and poses like a Steiner...he's a "Breakker"? Anyway, Bron Breakker might be the only reason I watch NXT anymore.  I'm only hate-watching it at this point.  I think AEW put on a slightly better show with Dynamite (not Rampage).  The show of the week was MLW Fusion Alpha. Plus, I scoff...

Two podcasts in a row saying nice things about AEW...I must be ill... ...ANYWHO...in other wrestling news, a new challenger for Christian Cage's World Title emerged from Victory Road, while Major League Wrestling announced a big show for Vice TV. Speaking of Vice, The #PlaneRideFromHell Episode of #DarkSideOfTheRing came out.  Surprisingly, Tommy Dreamer came off worse than Ric Flair. I have...

What a time to be alive as a pro-wrestling fan! Kenny Omega is establishing himself as the greatest wrestler of this generation.  AEW has become a legitimate promotion to rival WWE, while Vince continues to destroy his creation along with his family members. Me . Us . Stuff . Twitter . Locals . Minds . 

The fun part of doing a podcast is that, sometimes, breaking news will report out almost minutes before I record.  As I was prepping for this episode, recent US Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson announced that he will be training with the WWE!   What else broke during the show?  Find out. Plus, I critique NWA 73, and I talk about who might or might not be at AEW All Out. Facebook...

The pro-wrestling energy from this past week flowed into this weekend with NWA Empowerrr!  Last night's all women's show was a solid, fun night for professional wrestling.  I got to see two of my favorites The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle) win the resurrected NWA Women's Tag Championship!  Plus, there were other surprises! Find out who on today's show, brought to you by Heel Tur...

A wrestling icon is making a return to the squared circle...but enough about Ric Flair.  AEW signed the biggest free-agent in the modern era after a hiatus, only to be upstaged by, you guessed it, WWE, as they brought in two big names for SummerSlam. Who were these wrestlers?  Find out. Facebook .  Other Facebook .   Twitter .   Minds .   Locals .   T-shirt .

I'm going to take my own advice this episode.  I know, we lost an absolute legend in the wrestling business, again, this week.  Despite "The Butcher of The Business" Nick Khan continuing to gut the roster and gut us fans, I will focus on some good things this week.  For example, three USA Wrestling Team stars medaled and made us proud, but will they parlay their success into the pro...

Okay, okay...yes, this title has a certain amount of clickbait-ish-ness in it.  That does not change the fact that Vince McMahon is using his friend, Donald Trump's, business model to eventually sell the WWE to Comcast before he dies. Less than twenty-four hours after Vince makes a flippant statement about feeding AEW more talent, one of the highest-merch-selling, most creative, most popular...

Coming at you like a flying pizza cutter, it's The Heel and Face Podcast on Heel Turn Wrestling !   Cool stuff happened on the "super-indy" scene this week which, unfortunately, still didn't overshadow all the rumors of two big free-agents potentially signing with AEW. Major League Wrestling kicked off their season with Battle Riot III, and ended with "The Contra Hunter" Alexander Hammerstone...

Back like an IMPACT Wrestling alumnus, it's The Heel and Face Podcast on Heel Turn Wrestling ! I know I gave IMPACT The Strikeout Rule, but that just means it is getting better.  True to form, apparently Slammiversary 2021 was very good, full of surprises, and worthy to go back and watch. Also, a wrestling legend passed away, but the son of a legend finds new life back in the WWE . Join me on...

Welcome to the Dirtbag Edition of the podcast!  Today, we start off with one dirtbag, Jimmy Uso, and his continued struggles with drinking and driving.  We end this edition with another dirtbag who, ungracious in defeat, lied about his injury, then proceed to call the fighter's who beat him wife a whore. Classy individuals all around... If you want to hang with real classy individuals, g...

Last week's episode was Botchamania level.  I decided to redo the part about Vince.  Here you go, Vince's Three Faces of Fear. He did something completely characteristic, something not at all characteristic, and something we thought he'd NEVER do. Follow me .  Follow us .  Follow me here , here , and here .  Buy a shirt here .

I really wanted to do a positive review of Hell in a Cell.  I really did.  I just couldn't. The WWE, Vince, and Nick Khan are making it very difficult to remain fans.  It's clear it isn't the "be all, end all" like most wrestlers imagined... ...that goes for writers, too, apparently... Follow me , follow us , follow Twitter , follow Minds , follow Locals , or follow the merch .

Weird news this week.  HHH says something kind of dumb, and Tony Khan says something kind of intelligent.  NXT was meh this week, but could two former WWE stars possibly come back to inject some life into the brand? Listen and find out!  Or go here , here , here , or here .  Go here for Heel Turn Wrestling, and here to buy our merch.

Lesnar's back, tell your friends...   Brock Lesnar's profile was moved to the "Active" Roster on WWE's website like we wouldn't notice. (Now, we know where some of the money went from the cuts.)   Andrade is also back on cable T.V....just not where you would have expected.   Yes, I know I'm late on AEW's Double Or Nothing PPV, but better late than never! Facebook , Twitter , Minds ,...

I haven't done a Three Count for a while.  This seemed like an appropriate time. THE WWE IS NO LONGER A DESTINATION FOR INDEPENDENT OR SERIOUS WRESTLERS!!! Listen why.

Way less offensive than the AEW Spanish Announce Team, it's the Heel and Face Podcast on Heel Turn Wrestling ! Mostly news today, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Drake Younger is back in the ring because there are no shortage of outlaw mudshows in Florida.  Speaking of outlaw mudshows from Florida, AEW Booker of the Year Tony Khan cuts a promo on a WWE Executive no one has heard of unt...

"I gotta college education and a criminal record."  -- New Jack Unfortunately, we're starting another Heel and Face episode on Heel Turn Wrestling with a somber note, but fear not!  I'll talk about the season finale of MLW Fusion and who El Jefe really is!  Plus, WWE NXT analysis and the latest rumors about AEW! You can find me on Minds , Locals , and Twitter as well.  Don't fo...

More realistic than a trust fall onto a crash pad, it's The Heel and Face Podcast brought to you by Heel Turn Wrestling ! Blood and Guts wasn't the worst AEW show ever.  But it wasn't the best.  Of course, like every other big match, the end falls flat --like Jericho-- and MJF gets the last laugh on what should be a comeuppance... Well, there's WWE, right?  Not if you're a women's w...

Short and sweet, it's The Heel and Face Podcast on Heel Turn Wrestling Some good news from WWE for a change as there is a shake-up in management.  There's a shake-up in Impact Wrestling as they have a new champion.  As AEW is forcing fundamental changes in the wrestling industry, it seems even WWE and MLW may be partnering up. Let's talk about it!  You can find me on Minds , Locals...

Less depressing than a garbage bag filled with your personal belongings from HR, it's the Heel and Face Podcast LIVE brought to you by Heel Turn Wrestling ! With all the news coming out about Mickie James and her leaving the company, I needed a short break from WWE. I found it in a fantastic and gruesome UFC 261 card! It had Dana White high-fiving fans and Joe Rogan marking out. A great night for...

Is this a lame rebranding of WWE Backlash? Yes.  Am I lame for using it as a pun? Yes.  This is the best I could come up with throughout all the WWE craziness happening this week. A newly signed female wrestler to NXT showed way more creativity than me by naming HERSELF and slightly changing her persona. The funny part was watching her destroy Smart Mark and the rest of the IWC on Twitte...

CAN YOU FEEL IT?!  Another year, and Wrestlemania is upon us!  Before that, I get hyped for NXT Takeover: Stand and Deliver.  Plus, a gold medal winning Olympic wrestler qualifies for the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, and a former WWE Superstar breaks the wall down between WWE and AEW for an exclusive interview with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. PROGRAMMING NOTE:  Next week, since Wre...

Miracles can happen.  A blind squirrel can find a nut, and two women can have a better than expected match in AEW.  As a matter of fact, it was probably one of the best matches in the short life of AEW so far.  The question is: is this a function of the booking leading up to this match, or the right wrestlers finally "getting it".  Listen and find out. The "Light's Out" match b...
