Well, it's been another WWE invasion storyline that has fallen apart at the seems. Which is a shame as this was a great episode of Raw for in-ring wrestling! Like, really good! Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre nearly had an all-time classic Raw match. Nearly. Luke and Oli break down all the action from the Red Brand as we head into Survivor Series 2019!

This was most certainly an episode of SmackDown, with what some people might call the only good segment on the show coming in the form of MizTV. Never thought I'd say those words. The Fiend vs Daniel Bryan has been made official for Survivor Series, and we are thoroughly excited for it! Chopper Pete and Just Dave are here to break it all down on this, the Nov. 15, 2019 episode of Friday Night Smac...

Well, this was always going to be the title this week! CM Punk returned to WWE (via Fox) for their FS1 Backstage show, but could this be a backdoor into him making an in-ring return for Vince McMahon?

Sorry for the delay on the turnaround of this podcast! There were some audio issues, which you can still hear in part of this episode, but don't worry they do get fixed! From 6:24-10:23 you'll hear an echo, but the rest of the episode will be as normal. Sorry for the delay and for the inconvenience! Is Jeff Hardy finished with WWE? There's some rumours and reports flying around to suggest so, so t...

*sigh* Well I guess it was only a matter of time before the show became all about Baron Corbin again, except this time with a crown! The crown is not enough to make us forget this entire summer where he feuded with Seth Rollins for 17 years, all in the space of 3 months. Quite incredible, really. Is WWE overexposing Corbin? The simple version: yes. Chopper Pete and Just Dave are here to talk about...

After NXT invaded both Raw and SmackDown, you'd think there would be some consequences, and consequences there were. Some special visitors turned up on NXT this week, and it all leads to more intrigue heading forwards not only for Survivor Series but for NXT TakeOver: War Games as well. El Fakidor Laurie Blake and Housemate Simon are here to break down everything that happened on the turbulent Nov...

Oli loves Cody. Like, actually loves him. Beyond what the normal bounds of love are. Is Cody Rhodes the best babyface in wrestling right now? After that promo on AEW Dynamite last night, it sure seems like it! Oli and Chopper Pete are here to break down that promo, and everything else that happened on last night's episode of AEW Dynamite, the go-home show for their first post-TV PPV, Full Gear. Th...

NXT invades WWE once again, and much like most sequels it...wasn't as good as the first one. But Survivor Series is shaping up to be quite the show isn't it? Oli and Chopper Pete are here to break down everything that happened on the Nov. 4, 2019 episode of Monday Night Raw, including Adam Cole vs Seth Rollins and *that* ending brawl angle. It was fine. Theme music by Jade Starr Subscribe to Wrest...

Hoo boy, what an episode. I don't even know what I can say in this description without delving into spoiler territory, so let's just say...it was really, really good. A breath of fresh air compared to SmackDown as of late, this was a very welcome change! Chopper Pete and Just Dave are here to break down everything that happened on the Nov. 1, 2019 episode of Friday Night SmackDown! Theme music by...

NXT puts out yet another really bloody good episode of professional wrestling. Who'd have thought? Including an amazing Finn Balor promo, and some awesome build for NXT Takeover War Games, this episode was great, and is here to be broken down by Chopper Pete and Housemate Simon, filling in for Laurie as he was recovering from his Crown Jewel Live Reaction stream! All this and more on this review o...

Well it happened didn't it? Crown Jewel was most certainly a show, and some things most certainly did happen on that show. Most of all, the thing to take away from this show though is that The Fiend Bray Wyatt is now Universal Champion. We're not quite sure how it happened, but it did. Oli and Laurie are here to talk about everything that happened at Crown Jewel 2019, including that match, plus Ca...

Oli, Laurie and Pete are here to bring you their Crown Jewel 2019 Predictions! Theme music by Jade Starr Subscribe to WrestleTalk's Sister...

Oli and Chopper Pete (while Luke is on holiday) are here to break down this and everything else that happened on this go-home for Crown Jewel episode of WWE Raw on Oct. 28, 2019.

Was this the best heel turn of 2019? There's certainly a case to be made for it on this week's episode of NXT, as there was a shocking twist at the end of the show! El Fakidor and Chopper Pete are here to break down everything that went down on another amazing episode of NXT! And for you WrestleTalk Podcast purists out there, no superchats in this episode!

Well this show got a little out of hand didn't it? Oli had the pleasure of being joined by Ring of Honor's Matt Taven and Dalton Castle for Friday's WrestleTalk Live show, however things didn't quite go to plan for Oli as Matt and Dalton were too busy being Matt and Dalton. What ensued was hilarious, so enjoy the chaos on this very unique episode of the WrestleTalk Podcast. We promise this is a on...

Did you know Crown Jewel is next Thursday? WWE sure are asking a lot when they tell you to care about it, because it seems like all they were doing is building to the wrong things on this show! Oli and Pete (Dave was away this weekend) are here to break it all down on a mediocre episode of Friday Night SmackDown!

It was a fantastic night for All Elite Wrestling, and another great episode of AEW Dynamite - which had a sensational match between Private Party and the Lucha Bros, as well as SCU vs. Dark Order, Young Bucks vs. Best Friends, Kenny Omega vs. Joey Janela and Pac vs. Jon Moxley! What a stacked show! And that doesn't even include the incredible angle between Cody and Chris Jericho! Theme music by Ja...

Our thanks go out to ROH for setting this interview up, and to Mark Haskins for taking the time out of his day to speak with us.

Well this was most certainly an episode of SmackDown. Not a whole lot happened, but there was this really interesting moment that could be teasing a Kofi Kingston heel turn. Or maybe not. Probably not. But let's speculate! Chopper Pete and Just Dave are here to break it all down and to review the October 18, 2019 episode of Friday Night SmackDown!
