Summary

In this week’s Flagship Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast from five years ago (10-22-2020), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by Jason Powell from ProWrestling.net and the Pro Wrestling Boom podcast.

Some specific topics include Pat McAfee joining Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch, the new presentation of Kenny Omega and how to interpret it, the odd framing of The Young Bucks, the latest chapter with Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, trying to figure out the point of Retribution, the stellar Jon Moxley-Eddie Kingston hype, Eric Young vs. Rich Swann as the headline match at Bound for Glory, and of course the Chris Jericho-MJF steak dinner song and dance routine.
