Mike & JD dive into wrestling's latest controversies and more in Episode 117 of The Mike & JD Show, on the Voices of Wrestling Network!

With AEW already loaded with titles, is this one too many?We also discuss the end of Deadlock Pro Wrestling, as the indie promotion announces an indefinite hiatus after their December 12, 2025, fundraiser show and one final event in Japan in 2026. And why sports on HBO Max (now Max) aren't boosting wrestling viewership as hoped, with AEW's simulcasts not counted in Nielsen ratings under the new system, leading to slashed numbers for Dynamite and Collision.Finally, we switch gears to movie talk, debating classics like Gremlins, Kevin Smith films, and the underrated greatness of the Masters of the Universe movie.Watch on the Mike & JD Show YouTube channel (youtube.com/@mikeandjdshow) and follow us on X—Mike (@MikeGilbert311) and JD (@jd_oliva).Want ad-free episodes and exclusive wrestling content?
