Imagine sweeping through green fields, floating five feet above ground, sun on your face as you slide by on track to your destination, not a car in the world, as you simply lean back.

And before you know it, you're there.

This is how travel should feel, and on our trains, it does.

Avanti West Coast, feel good travel.

Hello and welcome to another What Culture Wrestling Podcast.

Before we get into it though, this podcast is brought to you by Ashley versus WWE, the story of wrestler Ashley Masaro.

It follows the events leading up to the tragic death of professional wrestler Ashley Masaro, who took her own life in 2019 after making allegations of abuse against WWE.

Now we all remember her as a fan favorite WWE diva, but this fantastic, audible original podcast tells her story, gives Ashley a voice, and highlights mental health issues, and the Me Too movement.

It's an audible original podcast that you simply cannot get anywhere else.

Only Unaudible.

The wrestling can just be the best, can it not?

I mean sometimes you sit down to watch a wrestling show, and you think to yourself wouldn't it be great if we had 32,756 surprises, and then you get it.

So my name is Simon What Culture, thank you very much for joining me as always, and we did just have the episode of AEW Dynamite, where I think Tony Khan went, let's just do everything, so everything we did, let's up those doubts.

The opening of Dynamite this week was tied into the brand new Game of Thrones show, and that was just cool for some reason, I don't even know where CM Punk also walked out to start things off.

This guy is fantastic. He also went totally in the direction I wasn't expecting, because the first thing he did was call out Hangman Adam Page, and say let's have a rematch right now.

But when the cowboy didn't show, Punk was all like oh man, everybody wants to be the champ, but nobody wants to do champship, and as I wait a minute, he's insulting the Hangman's catchphrase.

He's also just a very antagonistic thing to say, and then he turns attention to John Moxley, and he said okay look, Mox baby number one in your hearts, but he's number two in the ring, in fact he's always been number two, and in his own group he's not even the best, and in his original group he was the third best, and yes he was talking about the shield.

And then went after everyone, including Eddie Kingston, where he said he's only the second best Kingston I've shared a locker room with, and I was like oh my god, that's a coffee reference, and he finished it off by saying when we get to Chicago, it's not going to be the first John I beat for a championship.

I'm not going to explain that reference to you, because I know you already know.

Things just kept getting better and better, especially when John Moxley interrupted, because Punk was like this guy takes forever to get to the ring, I'm going to lay down and start doing snow angels.

Now do not get me wrong, Punk did get some booze here, but I think he was going after booze, maybe he was basically a bit of a heal.
