The Fix Mailbag w/Todd & Wade (pt. 2 of 2): Hall and Nash, Michaels, Tyson-Austin-DX, Superstar Graham instead of Backlund, Vince, Attitude Era PPVs, Hokum (63 min.)

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:29:31 +0000

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s The Fix Mailbag with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer emails from VIP members on the following topics:

Why were Shawn Michaels’s first matches back in 2002 a Street Fight, the Elimination Chamber, and 3 Stages of Hell if he was concerned about his back? Why did he only have a one-month title reign?
Is there any pushback in WWE from the women wrestlers in WWE over the outfits they have to wear in Saudi Arabia?
The choice between Scott Hall/Razor Ramon and Kevin Nash/Diesel for singles pushes in WWE and WCW, plus why did they wrestle as a team so often instead of singles main events? Plus did Vince McMahon want to see Hall and Nash leave just to have less politics with The Kliq behind the scenes?
Was Mike Tyson turning on DX and siding with Steve Austin ever explained? Did the lack of explanation bother you at the time?
What if “Superstar” Billy Graham had turned babyface in 1978 and become the champion headliner instead of Bob Backlund? Would it have worked and how would it have changed the reception for Hulk Hogan several years later?
Of six pairs of parents and child in pro wrestling, ranking which ones Todd and Wade would most want to sit next to to chat with or listen to, including Vince and Shane McMahon, Dwayne Johnson and Ava, Ric Flair and Charlotte, The Costco Jackass and his kid, Rey and Dom, and Rikishi and Jey Uso?
Is the UFC White House spectacle an example of them refusing to grow up and turning off more fans than they attract, and putting on display the degenerate scumbags they revel in being?
Todd’s favorite pre-Attitude Era PPVs from WWE’s signature events
Did UFC accomplish everything it aimed to with the White House event and are the viewership stats fake?
Will Vince McMahon return to WWE and, if so, in what capacity?
How could Josh Hokum actually market himself without being so cringe given his athletic abilities and star potential?

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:00:10 +0000

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

SHOW SUMMARY: In this Dailycast episode of Wrestling Coast to Coast, Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland return to an old favorite when they review Wrestling Revolver’s No Country for Old Mancer, but all is not well in this once cherished promotion. We look at the good (the rise of heel faction The Algorithm), the bad (tag titles defended in trios matches), and the ugly (too many chair shots to the head). Mance Warner defends the World Title against Alex Colon in a street fight. BDE defends the Remix Title in a (wait for it) Street Fight. And Ace Austin, Alan Angels, and Jeffery John have a pretty great three-way that is not a street fight! For VIP listeners, we venture to Jersey Championship Wrestling for Terry Yaki’s biggest singles match to date, challenging Charles Mason for the JCW Title and a post-match angle that is TOO BIG for JCW.

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 16:39:42 +0000

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by Charles of Wrestling Playlists for an all-encompassing 1987 deep dive. When it comes to one of the most consequential years worldwide for pro wrestling, there is a ton to discuss, and who better than the foremost curator of wrestling footage history to do it with. From the icons at the forefront of the sport to the future stars cutting their teeth, Alan and Charles talk about all the wrestlers that shaped ’87. Classic matches like Inoki vs. Saito, Flair vs. Windham, and Chigusa vs. Asuka grabbed the headlines in the ring, but it was a year where sometimes the political maneuverings outside it were even more intense. It all contributed to twelve months that changed the business both stylistically and in terms of power distribution. Join us as we go back in time and take you on a tour around the wrestling world of 1987, from the Pontiac Silverdome to Budokan Hall with more than a few stops along the way. Bayamon, L.A., Memphis, Osaka, Brazil, and even a jaunt to Ganryujima island! Check it out.
