Discovery has shaken up the entertainment world, but it also has very real implications for the pro wrestling world and we'll get into what those look like.  For the record, the reports of AEW's pending demise have been greatly exaggerated.  Also, we'll discuss TNA's new media rights deal with AMC Networks, when the first LIVE show will take place, what it means for their partnership with WWE/NXT and the CRAZY RIDE that show has taken over the years from one network to the next.  Plus, one former WWE writer claims ESPN executives are NOT HAPPY with their WWE partnership so far... what creative may look like for both World titles heading into WrestleMania 42, including a possible Cody Rhodes HEEL TURN... thoughts on Oba Femi challenging Cody next weekend... making the case for John Cena to BEAT GUNTHER at Saturday Night's Main Event... Cena tells Bill Simmons it takes FIVE YEARS to get over and why that's bullshit... Cena also speaks on why his heel turn failed, and I'll give you the REAL reason the whole thing was destined to fail from day one... Cena and WWE being SUED over his entrance music... the WWE libraries are leaving Peacock soon and what that means for the future... AEW Continental Classic updates and a WINTER IS COMING preview... thoughts on Kendal Grey from NXT... and is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin OVERRATED by fans?***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown with the Finals of the John Cena "Last Time Is Now" tournament and it went the way we all thought it would.  But Gunther hasn't just promised to beat Cena, he says he's gonna tap him out.  Can you imagine?  You spend 20 years telling kids to never give up, only to give up in your final match.  Plus, Cody Rhodes gets an NXT opponent for SNME, and they're still DESPERATELY waiting for Bianca Belair to return.***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite from Indianapolis with THREE Continental Classic matches, including Jon Moxley against Claudio Castagnoli.  He was waiting on an angle with the Death Riders after, but that angle never came.  Plus, Samoa Joe and Eddie Kingston face off ahead of their AEW championship match at Winter Is Coming next week and hardcore garbage infects the Women's Tag Team Championship tournament.***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
Solomonster reviews WWE Raw after Survivor Series as Triple H promised us an EPIC SHOW.  We didn't get an epic show, but what we got was largely good stuff with Jey Uso and LA Knight fighting for the right to lose to Gunther in the finals of "The Last Time Is Now" tournament, while Gunther and Solo Sikoa had a MUCH better match than most people expected.  Plus, Bron Breakker has a date for his World championship match with CM Punk and just cut his best promo yet, and Liv Morgan has already made it clear who the REAL leader of the Judgment Day is.***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Andrade speaks out about his WWE noncompete and where things stand... Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch make headlines with a podcast interview... AEW Continental Classic thoughts so far... Ric Flair claims STREET DRUGS are what killed Hulk Hogan... the end of the Monster Factory... dream matches that both exceeded expectations and fell short of them... and the story of the Kevin Nash MTV Spring Break incident.***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Finn Balor Vs Roman Reigns is the only Match that I care about Carmella Vs Liv Morgan doesn't need to be on the PPV Tonight it's a massive waste of time and it's going to have Botches and Carmella Screaming during the Match.

Was just listening to the recent sound off, great work on each topic, especially mick foley's thoughts on wwe, feel like more retired wrestlers like foley should come out, but it's up to them.

very problematic for Cody not selling the power bomb from Shaq who executed the power bomb very well

who's the TNT executive who is connected to Vince McMahon's inner circle that's the big question as to why The Big Show and Cristian Cage's debut was lack luster
