Young Lion's Perspective

SummerSlam weekend is finally over and that means we get to break down "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" that went down this past weekend. But this time around, i'm trying out a new format and discussing the ten big points that came out of NXT TakeOver: XXX & SummerSlam for Episode 245 of the YLP Podcast! Also, in this episode of the podcast, I go over a couple of news articles from the weekend as we...

YLP Universe, I believe it is Friday. And you know that means, right? Well, with AEW Dynamite going on tomorrow night, that means no episode of "Light The Fuse" this week. But that opened up the door for myself to get you prepared for this weekend's festivities with a very special SummerSlam Weekend Preview & Predictions Show for Episode 244 of the YLP Podcast! And in this special episode of the p...

You made it through the doldrums of Monday. Congratulations! You should pay yourself on the back. Now don't you dare rest on your laurels chieftain! But I know of a way to get you through that mid-morning madness and help push through lunchtime with the strength of 1000 Spartans. And that would be a brand new episode of "Last Week/This Week" for Episode 243 of the YLP Podcast! In this jam-packed e...

I think at this point, I know that most of y'all despise Mondays. You have to wake up early, get back in the routine of another work week, make sure you don't forget your lunch. The usual nonsense and bullshit that comes with it. But what if I told you that yours truly was able to give you one hell of a mid-morning wake-up call? Well, that's what i'm doing today for Episode 242 of the YLP Podcast...

We have finally made it to Friday y'all! And since it's Friday, that means it's time for a brand spanking new episode of "Light The Fuse" for Episode 241 of the YLP Podcast! In this episode of the podcast, i'm breaking down the major points from this past Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite including my thoughts on MJF and how could he be this good at only 23 years old, talking about Cody vs Scorp...

If you had told me that Adam Cole was going to face Pat McAfee at NXT TakeOver: 30 two weeks ago, chances are I would've laughed in your face and told you to pound sand. But after what I saw from last week's episode of NXT, they got my attention very quickly. And since it's Tuesday, I get to unveil a brand spanking new episode of "Last Week/This Week" for Episode 240 of the YLP Podcast! In this ep...

Although Episode 239 is coming out a little later than usual, as they always say, better late than never, right? It's time to one hell of a Sparta kick to kick off the work week with a brand spanking new episode of "News Of The Weekend"! And in this episode of the podcast, I open up the show talking about the unfortunate passing of James Harris aka Kamala, as he passed away at the age of 70 yester...

The work week is finally done and it's time to kick back, relax and enjoy the beginning of the weekend! But how does one kick off a Friday night?

In this episode of the podcast, i'm breaking down this past Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite including my thoughts on the wi...

We're about two weeks away from NXT TakeOver: 30 and if you don't think for one second that we're in TakeOver Season, then you must have fallen, bumped your head and got amnesia with the quickness. But y'all know it's Tuesday and that means it's a new episode of "Last Week/This Week" for Episode 237 of the YLP Podcast! And in this episode of the podcast, I break down last week's episode of NXT inc...

Ahh yes. Another Monday, a brand new work week. And that means a brand new, jam-packed episode of "News Of The Weekend" for Episode 236 of the YLP Podcast! In this episode of the podcast, I talk about all the news that's fit for me to talk about. Starting with the huge news of The Rock becoming part-owner of the XFL and buying the league for $15 million! I also have news on Seth Rollins attempting...

My apologies for not getting this out on Friday as I normally would, but things happened that were out of my control on Friday and I didn't want to interfere with the Gamechanger Podcast, so I figured today would be a perfect day to put out Episode 235 of the YLP Podcast. And on this episode of the YLP Podcast, it's all about All Elite Wrestling as we of course "Light The Fuse" as I break down thi...

Oh, Mr. Regal. You did get one over on us last week, didn't you? I have to commend you for what I consider a proper bait and switch. But what we got was one, or should I say, two huge announcements that opened up last week's episode of NXT. We discuss those announcements and more on a brand-new episode of "Last Week/This Week" for Episode 234 of the YLP Podcast! Also in this episode of the podcast...

It's the start of a brand-new week and y'all know i'm ready to kick the hell out of Monday's ass with Episode 233 of the YLP Podcast! In this episode of the podcast, I start off a special shout-out to a good acquaintance of mine as he celebrated a special occasion with his lady over the weekend. I then go into all the news that's fit for me to talk about as I discuss the "News Of The Weekend". And...

Ahh Friday...most people's favorite day of the week. I'm more of a Saturday guy myself, but you know why I love Fridays? Because that means it's about that time for another episode of "Light The Fuse" for Episode 232 of the YLP Podcast! And in this particular episode of the podcast, I wanted to bring back an old segment I used to do when I first started this podcast called "Outside The Ropes", whe...

First person to figure out which artist and song I am referring to will get a huge shout out on next week's episode of "Last Week/This Week". Send your answer in a voice message and make your best guess. HINT: This is a much older song than you think. As far as this week's episode of "Last Week/This Week" for Episode 231 of the YLP Podcast, i'm breaking down last week's fallout episode of NXT foll...

Last night, WWE's Extreme Rules: The Horror Show turned out to be exactly what the hell I thought it would be: an absolute failure. But that doesn't mean it didn't have its good moments throughout the night. And in Episode 230 of the YLP Podcast, I get to break down the good, the bad and the ugly that was last night's PPV disaster. If you were expecting that possible 45-minute rant that I said wou...

Extreme Rules is finally here and boy, am I not even excited in the slightest to watch the horror show that it could end up being this Sunday. Nonetheless, we're kicking off the weekend in proper YLP fashion as we always do for Episode 229 of the YLP Podcast! In this episode of the podcast, I present to you my preview and predictions for this Sunday's PPV and do my best to pick who I think will ha...

Keith Lee may be a double champion, but I don't know if it was the best of ideas. For the most part, i'm a bit conflicted as to why they made the decision to give both the NXT & NXT North American Championships to the Limitless One. I discuss that as well as breaking down the rest of what happened during night two of the Great American Bash including my thoughts on the Street Fight between Mia Yim...

Man, is it great to be back after a 10-day summer vacation. And it's time to get back to business and back into the swing of things with Episode 227 of the YLP Podcast! In this episode of the podcast, I figured I would do something a little bit different as I normally do. As much as I wanted to do a proper episode of "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" as I usually would, instead, i'll be discussing th...

I know, I know. It's the last episode before I take my two-week sabbatical from the podcast. But you know damn well i'm going out with a f***ing bang before I head out. And in Episode 226 of the YLP Podcast, it's a brand-new episode of "Last Week/This Week" as I break down last week's episode of NXT involving the huge main event with Keith Lee defending the NXT North American Championship against...

And just like that....POOF. Chikara is no more. You are reading that right, ladies and gentlemen. Mike Quackenbush has shut down operations on Chikara Wrestling and has stepped down as head trainer at the Wrestle Factory amid allegations from the #SpeakingOut movement. But that's not the only story I have on tap for you guys this evening for Episode 225 of the YLP Podcast. I also have updated news...

I told you I was going to bring you a proper episode to make up for not bringing you an episode last night and I promise you I didn't come to disappoint you. I'm talking about news on Tessa Blanchard's firing from Impact Wrestling and being stripped of her world title. I'm talking about WWE and the situation with the coronavirus and the anonymous letter making the rounds about talent frustration w...

Man, did last week's episode of NXT deliver or what? The possibility of a double champion in NXT, two solid tag team title matches, a broken hourglass and Robert Stone puking all over the canvas. Just another day in the life in the land of the black and gold standard as we kick off another episode of Last Week/This Week for Episode 222 of the YLP Podcast! Also in this episode of the podcast, I als...

It's Monday y'all! You know what the hell that means. And even if you don't, i'm going to tell you anyway because I can. It's a non-post PPV Monday and that means it's another installment of "News Of The Weekend" where I talk about all of the news that's fit for me to talk about. On this week's episode, of course, I am discussing all of the fallout that happened over the weekend in regards to the...

If you catch the reference to what song and which artist i'm referring to, a) you know your music and b) you'll probably call me a boomer. All that aside, it's Friday night and that means it's time we kick off the weekend in proper YLP fashion and break down everything that went down this past Wednesday night on AEW Dynamite with another installment of "Light The Fuse"! I start off this week's epi...
