Young Lion's Perspective

Even though their ratings went down last week, I believe that NXT put on a solid show as we begin the build to what I am calling "The Summer Of Gold" because now everybody on the NXT roster is gunning for the current and new champions on the scene. And on Episode 219 of the YLP Podcast, i'm breaking down the highlights, lowlights and everything in-between with another episode of "Last Week/This We...

Backlash has come and gone and that means we get to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly from last night's pay-per-view. All the highlights, the lowlights and every damn thing in-between. And for the first time in a long time, yours truly had to make sure a rant was in play for Episode 218 of the YLP Podcast. Along the way, we'll break down some of the news that came out of the Backlash includin...

My apologies for getting this out later than usual, but if you watched that Daniel Bryan-AJ Styles match for the Intercontinental Championship, you'd stop everything you were doing as well. Anyway, it's Friday and we're kicking off Backlash weekend that best way we know how: with Episode 217 of the YLP Podcast! In this episode of the podcast, i'm breaking down this past Wednesday's episode of AEW...

My apologies for getting this out a day later than usual. But I had some technical difficulties and unfortunately, this will be the only place you will be able to check out this episode on Anchor. Anyway, we still have to talk about what happened "Last Week/This Week" and discuss what happened with the go home show for NXT before NXT TakeOver: In Your House including the NXT Interim Cruiserweight...

It's the day after NXT TakeOver: In Your House and we're ending the first day of the work week in proper fashion as I break down "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" from last night's PPV from the black and gold brand!

We were given Matt Riddle's last match in NXT and the women's division giving us substantial growth right before our very eyes. I give an unpopular opinion on the Group A Final in the NXT Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament and we talk about how kick-ass a pit fight can possibly be. All this and more in this week's episode of "Last Week/This Week" for Episode 213 of the YLP Podcast! FOLL...

For me to attempt to do the News of the Weekend would have done what is going on in the world a very hearty disservice. What's happened over the past week has been some of the craziest times we have seen in our nation's history. Riots and looting in major cities, coronavirus pandemic, civil unrest, politics and the fading economy have made this into one hell of a powder keg that the United States...

So, in an effort to experiment and try out new formats and methods to make the show that much better for everyone, I decided to try out a more condensed version of "Last Week/This Week" given the fact that last week's episode of NXT bleeds in to this week's episode of NXT very nicely as we continue to build towards NXT TakeOver: In Your House on June 7th. Of course, i'll be discussing all the high...

And that's with a huge Love/Hate SuperShow for Episode 157 of the Young Lion's Perspective Podcast! In this episode of the podcast, i'll be discussing what I loved and what I hated about AEW AND NXT from this week's episodes including...

Back-to-back pay-per-views to kick off 2020? Are we getting spoiled or what?

After their year-end awards show on New Year's Day, NXT had to kick off their 2020 in a major way. Safe to say that they had a plan and they executed that plan to perfection with an episode that was truly can't miss. In Episode 155 of the Young Lion's Perspective, I break down this week's episode and discuss what I loved about this episode. Also in this episode, i'm giving you my preview and predi...

The first hour of last night's episode of AEW Dynamite (besides the opening tag team match) was a bit worrisome for yours truly. Lucky for us, the second hour of the show helped gain back the momentum it had immediately after the Private Party vs Omega & Page match. In Episode 154 of the Young Lion's Perspective, I break down last night's episode and discuss what I loved and what I hated about thi...

As we continue on this maiden voyage into the WAR realm, I wanted to do my best to show you what else I bring to the table. So why not bring you one of two smaller shows I do every once in a while? This is the Secret Files, where I come out of nowhere with a topic that's been on my mind for sometime or a particular something I had been keeping an eye on. Wondering what i'll be discussing on this e...

Today is the day. The day I can officially discuss the biggest announcement in the history of this podcast. Unless you already checked out Twitter or Instagram and found out the news, then you already know. But in Episode 153 of the Young Lion's Perspective podcast, I not only discuss the announcement, but I also discuss what went down at Wrestle Kingdom 14 this weekend as well my best and worst m...

We are mere hours away from Wrestle Kingdom 14. But that doesn't mean my entire focus was strictly on NJPW and what they have going on this weekend. We still have a show that happened this past Wednesday and we have some things we need to discuss. In Episode 152 of the Young Lion's Perspective, I break down Wednesday's Homecoming episode of AEW Dynamite and talk about what I loved and what I hated...

Happy New Year from the Young Lion's Perspective! Hope you enjoyed your New Year's festivities. But now, it's time to get back to work and take care of the first order of business.

It's the final chapter of 2019 and what better way to close the book than by giving you the present you really wanted for Christmas, but had to wait five extra days for. In Episode 150 of the Young Lion's Perspective, I bring to you the Top 10 Matches of 2019. 45 matches were chosen, 20 made the cut, 10 have the honor of being a candidate, but only one match can have the honor of being recognized...
