Steph and Josh discussed the end of the territory era as WWF signs up talent to begin their path of world (wrestling) domination. Josh and Steph relived some of the big and shocking moves during the Monday Night Wars, starting with WCW&#8217;s big acquisitions that allowed them to take the lead before WWF fired back with their own signings. Discussion moved to the modern day to discuss a number of talents moving back and forth between WWE and AEW with varying levels of success. Josh and Steph considered the future of talent jumps before making a decision on whether or not the movement of wrestlers between companies is currently worse or better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2026\/08\/20260831ADFREEWOB.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
