Fri, 08 May 2026 04:02:10 +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 did Paul Levesque need a new contract if he’s an employee and not an independent contractor? And does Levesque’s contract mean much given how they’ve dealt with wrestler contracts recently?
Will WWE release a popular wrestler in 2027 to create content for WWE Unreal next year?
Did AEW drop the ball with Ethan Page or is he just a better fit for WWE? Should AEW and WWE be more willing to push people that don’t fit the mould for their company, or is having a ‘type’ part of creating a clear identity?
Did Wade resent the WWF after it invaded his AWA territory as a kid?
Super Dragon
Joey Ryan
Rush’s catch phrase
Delayed vertical duplexes
Could what’s going on with TKO lead to collective bargaining by WWE and UFC talents?
Thoughts on Will Ospreay playing different characters in AEW and New Japan concurrently?
Has Andrade reached a peak level of confidence?

This week’s topic is a fun one: entrance music. After a brief history of the use of music in wrestling, Steph and Josh tried to determine what makes for good entrance music before discussing some of the classic songs from the early nineties. They discussed the Attitude Era and compared Jim Johnston’s output to WCW at the time before moving onto more recent additions like CFO$, Def Rebel, and AEW’s use of entrance music. Steph and Josh compared licensed music to original compositions and listed some of the worst and best themes before rounding it out by determining whether the current music is worse or better.
