Summary

PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents the Tuesday Flagship edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast with guest co-host Rich Fann, a PWTorch columnist and podcaster. They cover these topics:

The Rock on the Pat McAfee Show, the transparent politics and self-aggrandizing weaved throughout, what likely inspired his McAfee appearance, and what did and mostly didn't make sense
The new behind the scenes WWE Netflix series and a key reason (or at least a benefit) of Paul Levesque's creative process being documented
Paul Heyman snippets at the WWE roast getting circulated
John Cena's public statements lately and what insight it provides into who he is as a person from hair transplant surgery to his persisting love of Vince McMahon
Karrion Kross's great non-wrestling weekend
Heyman Alliance
Joe Hendry
Cena promo
WWE purchasing AAA and the fears and politics involved
Rusev's return and how he and Lana are showing what level they belong in WWE
Reaction to the Jey Uso celebration, Sami Zayn's involvement, and the particular edit in the YouTube highlight version and what that might indicate
Gunther's attack on Pat McAfee and if a one-on-one match will work or is ridiculous
And more!
