Chris discusses the past week in pro-wrestling while Alex is on leave, including:

- We take forward to NJPW Tamashii's Oceanian Cup taking place on August 16th from Sydney, NSW. Who are the first 8 men named to compete?

- NJPW President Tanahashi confirms the IWGP committee; with legendary names to oversee all of NJPW's tournaments and championship matches moving forward.

- A look towards WWE's Summer Slam & NXT's Great American Bash. MVP & Bobby Lashley reportedly leaving WWE, but where do the former "Hurt Business" members go next?

- TNA's Slammiversary live from Montreal, Quebec, Canada (inserts screw job references)! NXT continues to invade but will their Worlds Collide? 

- AEW's massive two weeks! 
-- Wednesday 17th: "Dynamite: 250"
-- Saturday 20th: "Collision" from Esports Stadium Arlington
-- Wednesday 24th: "Dynamite: Blood & Guts"
-- Thursday 25th: "AEW x Adult Swim Battle For The Booty"
-- Friday 26th: "Rampage: Royal Rampage"
-- Saturday 27th: "Battle Of The Belts XI"; & "Collision" from Esports Stadium Arlington

- While ROH's Death Before Dishonor takes place on Friday 26th head-to-head with AEW's TV. Sinclair had originally put the pay-per-views of Fridays to avoid competition from the UFC (Saturdays) & WWE (Sundays) but today instead of moving them to Sunday they go head-to-head with AEW signaling to the audience it's a clear number two option. It's truly depressing to see what's happened to ROH under Kahn's ownership, the handling of the 6-man belts this week & upon relaunch booking HonorClub TV as "ROH Dark".
