Now PWTorch and Spreaker bring you the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling podcast.

On today's Wade Keller Pro Wrestling podcast, we jump back 15 years to back-to-back episodes from Friday, December 17th, 2010, and Monday, December 20th, 2010.

First up, James Caldwell, joined by P.W. Torch, nostalgia columnist Brian Hoops to talk with live callers about news of Samojo resigning with TNA, the TLC pay-per-view, the Miz everywhere with the discussion of his interviews and character and also booking him to WrestleMania 27 as champion.

John Sina and Nexus's future after TLC. Plus, Sean Radican called in early on to discuss ROH Final Battle 2010, R.O.H. in general, and Dragon Gate USA. Then in the previously VIP exclusive aftershow portion of the show, they talked about whether WWE would put a world title on Alberto Del Rio, the marketability of stars in pro wrestling and MMA,

and also will look back at the 20 years ago Torch newsletter, including a discussion then of the imminent demise of the AWA.

Then on the December 20th, 2010 episode, James was joined by Bruce Mitchell.

They talked to live callers about the previous night's TLC pay-per-view, the state of WWB business, live crowd reactions at TLC and how the overall

audience was taking the product. That night's raw and where they would go from there with

John Sina and the Nexus group. Bruce got this prediction right. Eric Bischoff's weekend debate.

Also, was there ever a place for chair shots to the head in pro wrestling and more?

Lots of good topics covered in back-to-back episodes here of our live call-in show from 15 years ago this month.

And it is our flashback episode for Friday, December 26th, 2025. Block Talk Radio.
