Braden Herrington is joined by friend of POST Wrestling Davie Portman, who reports live from NXT TakeOver: New Orleans! They review the entire card including the insane 6-way ladder match, new champions crowned, an Undisputed Era swerve, and the fantastic storytelling of Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa in the main event!
Follow John Pollock and Wai Ting as they spend their day in New Orleans watching Friday afternoon’s RevPro event featuring Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Tomohiro Ishii, followed by the WWN Supershow featuring a spectacular match between Will Ospreay vs. Matt Riddle, and stay up with them until 4am for the incredibly bizarre experience that was Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2.
Martin and Benno are back to talk Fight Club: PRO “Dream Tag Team Invitational 2018”, Progress Chapter 65: “Have Some Faith In Sound” (WALTER vs. Rampage Brown) and Bad Bones’ suspension from wXw. They also chat recent signings for WWE UK, NJPW announcing two shows in the UK, Will Ospreay vs. Marty Scurll, and a preview of all the UK promotions putting on shows in New Orleans for WrestleMania weekend.
The final episode of SmackDown leading into WrestleMania 34 features the return of Shane McMahon confirming his partnership with Daniel Bryan, Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles continue sharing “mind games”, and Carmella fails another MITB cash-in attempt. Plus, Charlotte meets Asuka in the MMC finals and another spectacular match from 205 Live.
It’s the WrestleMania 34 go-home show with Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle in a press conference with Stephanie & Triple H, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar in what may have been Brock’s final Raw appearance, and John Cena trying to summon The Undertaker one last time. Plus we discuss everything coming up for us this week down in New Orleans including WaleMania and our “Road Diary” podcasts for POST Wrestling Café patrons.
John Pollock and Wai Ting review NJPW Sakura Genesis 2018 from Ryōgoku Sumo Hall featuring Kazuchika Okada vs. Zack Sabre Jr. as Okada attempts to to match Hiroshi Tanahashi’s all-time record for consecutive IWGP Heavyweight title defenses. Also featuring The Golden Lovers vs. Cody & Hangman Page and Will Ospreay vs. Marty Scurll for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight title (featuring one of the scariest bumps we’ve ever seen).
The new book on the life of the late Brian Pillman, Crazy Like a Fox: The Definitive Chronicle of Brian Pillman 20 Years Later, is one of the most fascinating and compelling wrestling biographies ever written and is a must-read for anyone interested in this fascinating story that held so much promise but ended up tragically going out of control. Dan Lovranski had a chance to sit down and discuss the book with its author, Liam O’Rourke.
