Summary

PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents the weekly Flagship edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast with guest co-host Jason Powell from ProWrestling.net and the Pro Wrestling Boom podcast. They discuss these topics:
  • A thorough preview of Saturday Night's Main Event starting with Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre with a sidebar discussion on whether Drew can still be a top-top guy and if Cody is giving hints of an imminent turn.
  • A look at Jey Uso vs. C.M. Punk with a sidebar on possible hints of Punk turning heel and whether he'd fit in with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker
  • Thoughts on Jade Cargill's turn and her match against Tiffany Stratton on SNME
  • Dominik Mysterio's current trajectory and thoughts on Rusev and Penta too.
  • John Cena's final opponent options, and whether Dom is better choice to go last than Gunther
  • Are Trick Williams and Ricky Starks both showing limitations at this point as main event level acts or even candidates for pushes on the main roster after their recent work including at Halloween Havoc on Sunday
  • Jon Mobley's change since losing to Darby Allin at WrestleDream
  • Severe disappointment with Samoa Joe's promo after his heel turn
  • What's the best thing about AEW right now?
  • What's up with TNA taking time off after Bound for Glory again?

around him or that he's going to be the guy to unseat Cody. I'd like that feeling to change.

1:59.5

I think there's enough there with him. Where are you now on him in his career? Roman reigns his age. He's not at the tail end of his career, but he's deep into it.
