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

SHOW SUMMARY: In this week’s 5 Yrs Ago Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show (9-15-2021), PWTorch editor Wade Keller is joined by PWTorch.com contributor Brandon LeClair to discuss AEW Dynamite with live callers, emails, and an on-site correspondent from New Jersey. They discuss the major match announced for next week between Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson and whether that will be enough to come close to beating Raw in total viewership and assure them more demo wins again. Also, C.M. Punk on commentary, Jon Moxley’s current place in the hierarchy, did Dynamite veer too far into an infomercial for next week, Adam Cole’s debut and post-match promo, and much more with live callers and emails.
