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 review House of Glory’s High Intensity, an alternatively baffling and infuriatingly booked show where the long awaited grudge match between Jay Lyon and Midas Black ends in the most nonsensical manner possible, Charles Mason and Eddie Kingston have a pretty good title match with a terrible finish that’s overshadowed by the angle afterwards, Zilla Fatu has his last indy match, and other disappointments. We also give are own two cents on the preposterous affair of Avery Styles and the Chairs of Respect. For VIP listeners, we delve into the sad booking of Juni Underwood after Mike Bailey’s stamp of approval (in which we learn not to ask Mike Bailey for a stamp of approval).

Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise: The career of Hiroyoshi Tenzan with Kris Zellner (154 min.)

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 02:30:35 +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 the man who combines silky smooth vocal tones with encyclopedic knowledge like nobody else, host of “Between the Sheets,” Kris Zellner! And if we’re bringing KrisZ on board, it’s got to be for a big occasion – and that it certainly is. This Saturday will see the retirement of Japanese wrestling legend Hiroyoshi Tenzan in Sumo Hall, and that needed to be marked here on ProWres Paradise. Alan and Kris run down the career of Tenzan from beginning to end over the course of two and a half hours! Young Lion days, Murder Inc., tag teams with Chono & Kojima, nWo Japan, G1 wins, injuries, classic matches – it’s all covered as the guys reminisce fondly about a career that has meant so much to New Japan Pro Wrestling. I think it’s safe to say you’ll probably learn something listening to this as Kris drops his wealth of knowledge on us like only he can. Now on to Ryogoku!

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 02:46:31 +0000

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

SHOW SUMMARY: In this VIP Aftershow, PWTorch editor Wade Keller and Jason Powell continue their discussion from the Wade Keller Podcast Flagship covering these topics exclusively for VIP members…

Thoughts on Jason and Wade on the Minnesota Vikings prospects and breaking news on the starting quarterback being named
Chad Gable over-the-head clap routine resembling the SKOL chant and a key part of Gable’s background WWE is entirely skipping and how it could help him as he struggles to get a strong crowd reaction these days
Big Cass’s presentation so far
What’s intriguing about the Bron Breakker-Oba Femi situation but a key aspect that is being downplayed and how it could benefit the story
Becky Lynch’s return and the continuation of face-face bickering and conflict with Stephanie Vaquer
Is WWE going to pay a bigger and bigger price if they stay on this course of booking their top acts lately
Thoughts on WWE Unreal including Paul Levesque vetoing John Cena’s idea to have boring, bad matches on purpose
Other thoughts on this season of WWE Unreal and will there be another given the lack of top ten rankings on Netflix this season
The Rock going into music now and whether it’s something to mock or applaud?
Closing thoughts on The Bloodline situation and the murky muddled interactions between all of the players
It’s time for WWE to go back to some of the fundamentals that make pro wrestling work rather than trying to produce “cinema” and ambiguous contradictory personalities bickering with bad finishes to key matches that seem more focused on “moments” and “merch” than pulling viewers into compelling stories and battles that they have a rooting interest in.
Could Cody Rhodes go back to AEW? A compelling case for why he might want to and how it has a possibility of happenings
