On a very special episode of PWW, Tony Schiavone helps Beau work through the seven stages of grief over Bray Wyatt's loss to Goldberg. Not to mention Undertaker beating AJ Styles and the dismantling of Ricochet by Brock Lesnar. By once again leaning on part-timers or stars from the past to promote WrestleMania, has WWE lost its ability to make new stars? Or will Cena and Goldberg's returns mean better things on the horizon for both Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns? Then on a more positive note, AEW Revolution was fantastic, and sure Tony's biased, but he said Hangman &amp; Omega vs. The Young Bucks was the best tag team match he's ever seen. Beau brought up his new personal lord and savior, Orange Cassidy and how surprised he was with his match with PAC. You can watch PWW at ProWrestlingWednesday.com

AEW in Atlanta Was Dynamite!

Today was a very special episode of Pro-Wrestling Wednesday as Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc were joined in studio by Maxwell Jacob Friedman, MJF! The "Salt of The Earth" was in town for AEW Dynamite's Atlanta debut at State Farm arena and came by to get some issues off his chest before his bodyguard, Wardlow, faces his former mentor, Cody, inside AEW's first ever Steel Cage match. They talked about his issues with Cody since signing with AEW, whether taking the 10 lashes made him respect him more and what he makes of all the various factions in the AEW locker room. Took some listener questions on the facebook chat and discussed where he saw himself and the company in a few years. Tony and Beau tried to wrap the show talking about their competition, but it quickly went off the rails. Had a lot of fun with this one (Beau got to kiss the ring!), highly recommend checking out the video at 92-9's facebook page or at ProWrestlingWednesday.com.

PWW is All Elite with MJF

PWW was back in full effect this past Monday as Beau Le Blanc told Tony Schiavone he is all in on Vince McMahon's latest creation (reinvention?) The XFL! He thouroughly enjoyed watching his hometown Defenders win the first game ever and Tony mocked him for being desperate to buy some merch. Beau segued into a discussion of how some of the XFL's broadcast elements offered a more compelling product and how the NFL (much like the WWE and AEW) might be well served by learning from what they're doing. Wrestlemania 37 is going Hollywood, which is disappointing for those of us that thought Atlanta might be in the mix to host the show of shows. Beau commended AEW, Cody Rhodes and MJF for a killer main event segment that even had Tony acting like a mark. WWE is preparing for their next Saudi show, but don't seem all that thrilled to be promoting it with matches being announced on the sly. Beau's hopeful that Bray Wyatt's match with Goldberg will be a way to get The Fiend over, but Tony was skeptical that his old colleague would go along with a submission loss. AEW comes to Atlanta next weekend, so look for PWW to be live at 11am on Wednesday 11/19 over at facebook.com/929TheGame, you never know who might stop by. You can watch the show at 92-9's facebook page or at ProWrestlingWednesday.com.

This is The XFL 2.0!

Ric Flair

Tony Schiavone returned to the 92-9 Digital Studio with Beau Le Blanc for another super edition of PWW! Like any proper sports radio station a discussion of the Super Bowl was had and Tony let it be known that if anyone should be in a hummus commercial it should be him, not 16x World Champion Ric Flair! Beau asked Tony what it was like on the Chris Jericho cruise for the Dynamite taping and the peculiarity of  getting fireworks shot off in your face all night. Discussion turned to the WWE with the recent departure of its Co-Presidents (which caused a big drop in WWE's stock) and a reported reduction in house shows mean WWE is feeling the heat of increased competition or is Vince spending too much time on the XFL? Beau recapped Smackdown for Tony and was thouroughly disgusted by the dog food angle. Show closed with a Raw preview and both hosts being squemish over Edge getting con-chair-to'd immediately upon returning.

Ric Flair Doesn't Eat Hummus!

With Tony Schiavone still making his way back from the Chris Jericho Rock 'n Rager at Sea Part Deux, Jon Chuckery joined Beau Le Blanc to breakdown the first stop on the road to Wrestlemania, The Royal Rumble! Will The Fiend walk out with the Universal Championship, will Brock Lesnar's gambit in the Rumble itself pay off? Who's dumb enough to think Shorty G will beat a returning Sheamus? Listen to this episode and find out! You can also watch the show at facebook.com/929thegame and ProWrestlingWednesday.com.

PWW 2020 Royal Rumble Preview

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc got together for the first episode of PWW of 2020 and had a lot to say about the recent episodes of WWE TV and of course Tony's day job, AEW. First they talked up some sports news and The Rock voicing LSU's national title promo, then the biggest story of the weekend, Tessa Blanchard becoming the first woman to hold a major championship of a televised wrestling company, when she beat Sami Callihan for the Impact World Title. Of course, being 2020, there was twitter controversy going into the match, but still an amazing accomplishment for her, Sami and Impact Wrestling. Beau and Tony are both intrigued by Brock Lesnar entering the Royal Rumble, but Beau was annoyed WWE spoiled the returns of John Morrison and Big Show with the biggest Battle Royale of the year coming up. Tony previewed this week's episode of Dynamite and Dark with some behind the scenes notes on names he's heard bandied about as future AEW competitors.

New Year, New PWW

Happy Holidays, Beau's a new dad and Tony's been a busy bee, so apologies for the hiatus. They recapped some personal business before getting down to THE business. Beau brought up his issues with TLC, and asled the play-by-play man for AEW whether he thought they were good decisions or not. Tony talked upcoming AEW dates and what it's like working on those broadcasts, not to mention AEW's Atlanta debut coming this February.

It's A Christmas Miracle!

Tony Schiavone

Been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Tony Schiavone with debut of AEW on TNT, but Beau was happy to have him back and decided to start the show with an homage to the super well received finish of Seth Rollins match with The Fiend from Sunday. (Fun visual for the facebook viewers, check it out at ProWrestlingWednesday.com) But then it was down to business, discussing how Tony's been liking the new gig, some fun road stories about JR and Cody Rhodes and Beau asked him for one of those swanky AEW blazers. At a time when the WWE is facing stiffer competition is it a great time for them to be pulling in part-timers, non-wrestlers and doing wonky finishes? Probably not, but a discussion is had about what they could be thinking with the added attention from FOX and USA. Enjoy all this, and some Redskins bashing, on this week's episode of PWW!

Tony Schiavone Flew Back From AEW and Boy Are His Arms Tired

It was another exciting week in the world of professional wrestling and Beau Le Blanc and Tony Schiavone got back together to break it all down for you. Tony (as you may have heard) is "All Elite" having signed a deal with AEW to work on their TV productions. Beau asked him how all that came about and about his time at Starrcast III in Chicago. Of course a discussion of AEW's "All Out" event and Chris Jericho's big win as the first AEW champion and subsequent search for stolent title belt. When it came to the WWE of course Bayley's heel turn was the biggest story over there, but what does it mean for Charlotte? Also, this will probably be the last time they waste time complaining about the 24/7 Championship. You can also watch the show at ProWrestlingWednesday.com or facebook.com/929TheGame

Tony Schiavone is "All Elite"

Hosted by legendary WCW Announcer Tony Schiavone and a lifelong wrestling fan, Beau Le Blanc, each week the program brings you the latest on WWE Raw, Smackdown, NXT, Ring of Honor, Impact, Foreign and independent Pro-Wrestling. Drawing on Tony’s 30+ year career calling matches and working TV, they compare and contrast today’s product versus the Superstars of yesteryear. So, tune in each week to hear opinions, reviews, previews and interviews with some of the biggest stars of the past and present.

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc reconvened in the Digital Studio for another facebook LIVE edition of PWW. After a brief discourse on hair, greying hair, body hair and blue hair, they got into the nuts and bolts of what went down at SummerSlam. Beau thought the biggest story coming out of the show was the debut of Bray Wyatt's "The Fiend" and the predictable win over Brock Lesnar by Seth Rollins. With SummerSlam in Toronto, Beau joked about how Canada wasn't exactly his idea of a Summer destination, which led Tony to talk about some of his favorite Bash at The Beach memories from his time at WCW. Clearly, WWE's new deal with FOX and USA is causing some anxiety about the brand split, but what can be done to fix it? All that and a recap of Sasha Banks' blue hair, this week, on PWW!

A brief rememberance of Harley Race at the top with Tony telling some old stories and what Ricky Steamboat told us about wrestling him back in the day.

2019 WWE SummerSlam Preview

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc reconvened in the 92-9 Digital Studio to recap all the big news from the wide world of the squared circle. Beau brought up some recent comments from AEW's Cody Rhodes about not seeking to draw "casual fans" and whether it was a solid strategy. Tony was skeptical of reports about the WWE brand split remaining in tact when they jump to FOX and both him and Beau debated how much control Bischoff and Heyman actually have during the shows. As they broke down Raw and Smackdown the re-writes were pretty evident and Tony told some great stories about working on the booking committee with Dusty Rhodes and what advice he gave Darby Allin, that he did not follow. All that and little else, on today's episode of PWW! You can watch the show at ProWrestlingWednesday.com or facebook.com/929TheGame

You Wouldn't Pin a Pregnant Woman, Would You?

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc got back from a couple weeks off and after taking a moment to note the show's 2nd Anniversary, they got into all that went down this past weekend with AEW's Fight for The Fallen and WWE's Extreme Rules. They both loved seeing The Club re-united with AJ Styles as US Champion, but is there a chance the WWE is using Gallows and Anderson more with their contracts expiring this fall? Also, Daniel Bryan allegedly had an important announcement on Smackdown, but we didn't get to hear it, when will the WWE stop teasing us and not delivering? All that and some show tunes, this week on PWW!

PWW 069 -- What We Did On Our Summer Vacation

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc re-convened for another edition of Pro-Wrestling Wednesday on facebook.com/929TheGame to break down WWE's Stomping Grounds event, and Beau had a lot to crow about as he nailed all of his match predictions from last episode. This prompted Tony to ask if that much predictability was a good or a bad thing and a healthy discussion was had. Talk then turned to WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins' tweets about how WWE is the best wrestling on the planet and that no one is doing it better than them or him. Because it was twitter, people came down on all sides, but Tony and Beau both appreciated Rollins' effort after weeks of people(including former Shield-mate, Jon Moxley) putting down his employer. Then attention turned to this week's WWE TV and while the 24/7 Title will probably always make the list of "Bad Ideas," the excellent in-ring work of Ziggler and Kofi made up for most the bad parts. You can watch the episode at ProWrestlingWednesday.com or at 929TheGame on facebook.

PWW 068 -- Feuding on Twitter

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc returned to the 92-9 Digital Studio for another facebook LIVE edition of PWW breaking down this weekend's Stomping Grounds WWE Live Event. But first they talked the tragedy that was Goldberg and The Undertaker's match at Super Showdown and what it means for the legendary careers of both men. They also hyped up Tony's return to MLW and his upcoming live shows with Conrad in St. Louis and Baltimore. Beau hates the 24/7 Title Belt while Tony hates everything about it, and that's just one of the Bad things they discussed during their Raw and Smackdown Good Idea/Bad Idea segement.

PWW 066 -- What Happens In Vegas

Tony Schiavone was on the road this week in Buffalo with the Stripers, so it was an old school audio only PWW experience this week. Hot of the heels of the major news that AEW and WarnerMedia's will be bringing Pro-Wrestling back to TNT. Tony, of course, had some feelings about the fine folks at Turner Broadcasting, but a debate on what this means for WWE and Wrestling on the whole was had. Then of course a preview of WWE's latest Live Event, Money in the Bank! Tony and Beau lay out who they think should win the titular suitcases and whether any championships will be changing hands.

PWW 065: 2019 Money in The Bank Preview

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc got back together on Tres De Mayo for another edition of PWW! Tony talked his time travelling to Vegas for Starrcast preparation and seeing old friends at the Cauliflower Alley Club. While he was there, he attempted to meet Dean Ambrose, it did not go well. Dean, of course, is now free from his WWE contract and released a teaser promoting himself as Jon Moxley. What's a good landing spot for him? Would the WWE have given him a send off if he was immediately signing with a rival promotion? Also, Raw had some bad ratings the other night and a bad day at the stock market, so Beau and Tony batted around ideas as to why that might be and what it might mean for the company going forward. They wrapped it up with reviews of both WWE Raw and Smackdown as the matches for Money in the Bank are being rolled out. You can watch the show at ProWrestlingWednesday.com

PWW 064 -- Do The Ratings Matter Anyway?

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc were back on 92-9's facebook page for another LIVE edition of PWW and boy are they excited for Bray Wyatt's new character! It's only been one week, but both hosts were happy to see the former "Eater of Worlds" return to WWE with his new deranged children's show host charcater.

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc got together for another edition of Pro-Wrestling Wednesday as Tony recapped his time at Ric Flair's birthday where anybody who's anybody in the world of sports and entertainment seemed to be in attendance. Beau and the other fat marks from 92-9 took a trip to State Farm Arena for the WWE's celebration of Flair that also featured a returning Roman Reigns and the surprise appearance of Dave Bautista. It's starting to feel a lot like Wrestlemania season as the pieces are starting to come together for both brands with a match between Batista and Triple H seemingly in the cards and Kevin Owens replacing Kofi Kingston in the WWE Title match at Fastlane. The "Greatest Intercontinental Champion of All Time" the Honky Tonk Man is joining D-X in the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame class and Tony tells a HTM story from his lone year in the then WWF.

PWW 047 -- Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Injuries, Oh My!

Beau Le Blanc returned from Hawai'i and joined Tony Schiavone for another facebook LIVE edition of PWW. They recapped the WWE Event, Hell in a Cell and debated whether or not the Cell needed to be painted red. Jeff Hardy seems to want to be slowing down, but after getting a screwdriver shoved through his ear, it seems like the opposite is happening. Is the WWE promoting too many shows at once? Both hosts think so, but are unsure of how they can fix it and still maintain the level of business they're doing. Tony and Beau also congratulated Renee Young on becoming the first female, full-time WWE announcer in the Raw booth and Tony illuminated us on his preferences for a good announce table.  Follow along with PWW at PWW929 on Twitter and Facebook and catch up with everything else at www.ProWrestlingWednesday.com

PWW ep. 015 -- Disco Inferno Interview

Tony Schiavone returned from the greater New York/New Jersey area with tales to tell from WrestleMania weekend and joined Beau Le Blanc to go through the highlights and lowlights of WWE's marquee event. As was prophecised last week, the show itself, was too long. It was the primary reason why Tony didn't attend the actual event and Beau lamented nearly dozing off during the later bouts as it ran from 5pm to 12:30am on Sunday night. Is there anything WWE can do to avoid that in the future? The matches themselves were fine, Kofi's win delivered, as did the other 6 title changes, but the botch in the main event and a gassed crowd didn't make Becky Lynch's crowning achievement the WrestleMania moment we all envisioned. What's next for the WWE, why a Superstar "Shake Up" of course. Tony and Beau recapped this week's episodes of Raw and Smackdown which both seemed redundant but the possibilty of Braun Strowman locking up with Samoa Joe is one of many exciting new possibilities.

Pro-Wrestling Wednesday, Ep. 022 -- Brandi Rhodes

Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc did their first new episode in the New Year to talk about the passing of "Mean" Gene Okerlund and their memories of the legendary Wrestling broadcaster. Beau gave a brief re-cap of his trip to Center-Stage for the NXT show with EC3, Lacey Evans and others wrapping up their final dates before moving to the main WWE Roster. Of course Tony didn't understand Conrad Thompson's text and did not "join the revolution" in Jacksonville for the debut of All Elite Wrestling, the new promotion spearheaded by Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks along with Shad and Tony Khan. A discussion of their "Double or Nothing" Event and what it will take for the upstart promotion to succeed was discussed. Then as usual, attention turned to Vincent K McMahon's wrestling company, the WWE. For a "New Era" it sure seemed like we were still getting some of the matches we've been seeing, albeit with much more character development in the likes of the "New" Daniel Bryan and Mandy Rose to name a few. As always, keep up with PWW @PWW929 on twitter and facebook and you can watch the facebook live version at on The Game's facebook page or on 929TheGame.com.

Aziz’s life has been a story of chance – and choice. As Michael pieces together Aziz’s journey from Sudan to Manus, he realises Aziz has been searching for a safe place for about eight years. So what gives him the ability, and the energy, to speak out? How has Aziz fought for so long, and what makes him want to be ‘the messenger’? ‘I’m pretending like I’m really happy, and laugh, and you know, smiling on the phones and doing stuff like that – so they feel like, “Oh, my son is really living in a good environment”. So they think like that, but the opposite is the truth.’ Aziz  Aziz tells Michael, ‘I have got some people ...waiting for me. They love me, they want me to be with them.’ Haltingly, and sometimes with great difficulty, Aziz starts to share stories about his home, the family that he longs to see, and why he fled. Looking to find out more, Michael speaks to Sudan expert Anne Bartlett about the current situation there. As Aziz shares snapshots from his past, Anne talks Michael through the conflict in Sudan, which, despite leaving the headlines long ago, continues to unfold. Michael worries that he’s adding to Aziz’s trauma by digging up painful memories – ever aware of how hard it is to have these kinds of conversations in short, overlapping messages, without the benefit of reading someone’s signals face to face. Meanwhile, Aziz weighs up how much to tell his family about Manus, and explains to Michael why he’s sometimes tortured by regret.

#3 I Have Got Some People Waiting For Me

Jocko Willink (@jockowillink) is one of the scariest human beings imaginable. He is a lean 230 pounds. He is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert who used to tap out 20 Navy SEALs per workout. He is a legend in the Special Operations world. His eyes look through you more than at you. He rarely does interviews, if ever. But a few weeks ago, Jocko ended up staying at my house and we had a caffeinated mind meld. Here's some background... Jocko enlisted in the Navy after high school and spent 20 years in the SEAL Teams, first as an enlisted SEAL operator and then as a SEAL officer. During his second tour in Iraq, he led SEAL Task Unit Bruiser in the Battle of Ramadi--some of the toughest and sustained combat in the SEAL Teams since Vietnam. Under his leadership, Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the entire war in Iraq and helped bring stability to Ramadi. Jocko was awarded the Bronze Star and a Silver Star. Upon returning to the United States, Jocko served as the Officer-in-Charge of training for all West Coast SEAL Teams, designing and implementing some of the most challenging and realistic combat training in the world. So why is Jocko opening up? Well, in part, we have mutual friends. Second, he is the co-author of an incredible new book — Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win -- which I've been loving. Trust me. Buy it. This is his first mainstream interview and one you won't want to miss. Show notes and links for this episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast.

During his second tour in Iraq, he led SEAL Task Unit Bruiser in the Battle of Ramadi--some of the toughest and sustained combat in the SEAL Teams since Vietnam. Under his leadership, Task Unit Bruiser became the most highly decorated Special Operations Unit of the entire war in Iraq and helped bring stability to Ramadi. Jocko was awarded the Bronze Star and a Silver Star. Upon returning to the United States, Jocko served as the Officer-in-Charge of training for all West Coast SEAL Teams, designing and implementing some of the most challenging and realistic combat training in the world. So why is Jocko opening up? Well, in part, we have mutual friends. Second, he is the co-author of an incredible new book — Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win -- which I've been loving. Trust me. Buy it. This is his first mainstream interview and one you won't want to miss.

This podcast is brought to you by Wealthfront. Wealthfront is a massively disruptive (in a good way) set-it-and-forget-it investing service, led by technologists from places like Apple and world-famous investors. It has exploded in popularity in the last 2 years, and now has more than $2.5B under management. In fact, some of my good investor friends in Silicon Valley have millions of their own money in Wealthfront. Why? Because you can get services previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on the dollar for them, and it’s all through smarter software instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams Check out <a href="http://wealthfront.com/tim" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">wealthfront.com/tim</a>, take their risk assessment quiz, which only takes 2-5 minutes, and they’ll show you—for free–exactly the portfolio they’d put you in. If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well worth a few minutes: <a href="http://wealthfront.com/tim" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">wealthfront.com/tim</a>.
