The High Risk Wrestling Podcast

Back at it like a crack addict. What is wrestling without factions? They've become such an integral part that it'd be weird at this point to not have them. Today, I've got another three that have made a mark on the industry. Let's ride.

Well, here we go again. The AEW women's division is back in the news for all of the wrong reasons. You know of my affinity for women's wrestling. You know I just want the women to succeed. Why do we always go through this? It's time to talk about it. Previously - The Art of Failure, Pt. 3 Today - Here We Go Again with the AEW Women's Division

Time to tell the age old story of failing to make new stars. I've got three names for you and they won't shock you. Wrestling is built on the backs of someone new taking the reigns but every so often it doesn't work. We'll get in to it today. Previously - After the 2023 Draft Today - The Art of Failure, pt. 3

It's been more than a month and I'd thought it'd be appropriate to look back at the draft. Who's gone MIA? Who's been elevated? Who's been stagnant? The draft is supposed to be a time where things change for the better. So, have they?

Coming out of Money in the Bank, there was a shocking develpment and it wasn't Roman Reigns being pinned. It was Shayna Baszler turning on her longtime friend and tag team partner, Ronda Rousey. Once again, something hampers the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships and they're now an afterthought. It's about time we reevaluate this division. Give it a once over.

It's that time of the year again. Money in the Bank. The groundbreaking and career changing event is here. Who's going to become Mr. and Ms. Money in the Bank? Well, I'll tell you. Will I be right? Maybe. Plus, the newest chapter tin the Bloodline starts as well. Match Card x Ricochet vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar vs. Butch vs. Damian Priest vs. Logan Paul in a...

The dream show is here and with a nice card headlined by the dream match we've all been clamoring for, today's show will be a nice preview of it. There's the obvious dream match but can Orange Cassidy steal the show once again. A change is on hand for the podcast so I'm hoping you all come and show your support. What Just Happened?

Collision has come and gone. The debut episode is in the books and I'm here to cover it for you. The theme. The stage. The crowd. The matches. All of it. AEW still has to build for All In and Forbidden Door. Impact hits the reset button. WWE has MITB plans to shake out and of course, THE BLOODLINE!!! Needless to say that this was an exciting week for wrestling. Previously - WCW Thunder Retrosp...

We're getting closer and closer to the premiere of Collison and with it comes a long history of wrestling companies having two major shows. They [AEW] are even following in the same footsteps that WWE laid forth when they had Thunder originally be built around Bret Hart and AEW is doing it with CM Punk. We've also got another month with two major PPVs coming up. The worst news of the week...

Well, it has begun. The Fall of Bloodline. The crazy thing is that there's a good year or so of story left to tell. There were four big shows last week and this week is all about the fallout of those events. Wrestling never sleeps. The question is, what's next? AEW has Forbidden Door on the horizon and WWE has Money in the Bank. It's going to be a good month. Previously - Night of Cham...

AEW brings us it's biggest show of the year and as always, it's got a loaded card. All of the championships are on the line. How was it? Was it overshadowed by the Bloodline? Dive in and I'll tell you.

We've a really big week in wrestling with Impact, WWE, and AEW all putting on PPV events. It's a lot and you know I've got you covered. Willow Nightingale's star grows even more. A top women's wrestler is now a free agent. The Bloodline. That's all I've got to say about that. Let's get in to it. Previously - World Heavyweight Championship Retrospective Now - Night o...

Night of Champions is upon us and for once the WWE doesn't seem to be slowing down. A new World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned, so I'd thought we'd take a trip down memory lane and look back at the World Heavyweight Championship's time in the WWE. Double or Nothing is here as well and the card is rounding out nicely. Trinity had her first match in IMPACT and I truly believe t...

With the surprisingly good Backlash event behind us, we are looking forward to Night of Champions and the crowning of a new World Heavyweight Champion. The finals are and it's a good one. AEW gave us a banger of a show. Trinity has already placed herself at the top of the food chain in the IMPACT women's division. Skye Blue shows us what she's made of. Roman continues gaslighting his c...

The Draft is in the books and today we're breaking down the rosters. Naomi, now known as Trinity, made her Impact Wrestling debut. AEW may very well sell out Wembley Stadium. The WWE are in Puerto Rico. There's a lot going on right now and we haven't even touched on AEW. Wrestling never stops and it never sleeps.

Like clockwork, WWE brings us Backlash after Wrestlemania and it's got a nice card. The Draft will be in the books so maybe we can get some new stories. AEW is building to a bunch of shows and Impact has themselves a brand new signee. Mercedes Mone finds herself in line for another New Japan Championship. I'm excited for that one. I've got a nice and solid show for you so go on and che...

WWE is in a holding pattern as they prepare for the Draft so companies get a little more time to shine. Impact crowned two new champions after their Rebellion event and AEW moved some stories ahead. Hopefully the WWE doesn't fall in to their normal post-Wrestlemania lull. I've a nice new topic I wanted to discuss so we'll dive into that. Matches of the Week Rebellion – PCO vs. Eddie Ed...

Here we are. A little late but I'm alive. After a day of severe headaches, I had to do my best to bring you the latest episode. Let's get into another Art of Failure. Who has failed making new stars? Where did they go wrong? Well, I've three new wrestlers to talk about. Impact is having their Rebellion show tonight and they'll crown two new world champions. Ler's do it. Previou...

With Wrestlemania behind us, we look forawrd to what's next. The big news is that the WWE has been purchased and will be merge with UFC. That's huge. Vince is back in charge. It's bad. Raw was bad. AEW and Impact were better. Bad Bunny was chokeslammed through a table. As the Bloodline turns. Fans aren't happy. Are you?
