I will explore the details inside and outside the ring and hopefully have a laugh with you in the process. I've had the fortune to interview wrestlers from Lucha Underground, TNA, Ring of Honor, GFW, and former WWE talent as well. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @TheMarcMadison
On Saturday, April 16th, AEW presents the Battle of the Belts for 4/16/22. This program features three title matches only taking. These matches are part of a week-long series of shows where all AEW titles have been on the line, minus the AEW TBS Championship. What is interesting to note is that Cargill has only defended her title a handful of times during her 100+ day reign. But as a whole, all of the current title holders haven’t defended their titles all that often throughout their reigns. Hangman Page has had a handful of title defenses during his five-month plus…

On Friday, April 1st, Ring of Honor Wrestling presents ROH Supercard of Honor. The event features six matches with several titles up for grabs. As the first event under the new regime of Tony Khan, questions appear to be asked before the event and likely after the event as well. The event has a nice mix of notable names on the independent circuit and one’s that have been on television competing with other major promotions. Who will walk out of ROH Supercard of Honor as the champions? And will the non title matches steal the show? Alex Zayne vs. Sw3rve…
