They start by discussing the hire of Bill Watts, which took place five days before this event, referencing multiple excerpts from Torch newsletters, and talk about his undoing, which ironically came from a portion of the Torch Talk done with Wade Keller back in 1991. They then run down the entire card, which featured Flyin\u2019 Brian for the Light Heavyweight Championship, Steiner Brothers vs. Takayuki Iizuka &amp; Tatsumi Fujinami for the #1 contendership for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, and Sting\u2019s Squadron vs. the Dangerous Alliance in a WarGames match. Highlight topics are the lack of good undercard matches, announcing, the stiffness of the Steiners\u2019 style, and the great storytelling of the WarGames match vs. WarGames matches of today.<\/p>\n<p>Warning: Some language on this show may be NSFW.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2022\/05\/20220515PWTAN.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
