We headline today with a NJPW Destruction in Kobe Preview, which is the show happening on Sunday morning.
We also discuss the Paige Pipebomb Promo and if WWE pulled the trigger on that too fast. Should WWE have waited and used that later on in the Divas Revolution storyline? Or was there an outside wrestling reason why they did it? We answer those questions and more.
There’s also a double dose of Ring of Honor on this show, as we do a ROH All-Star Extravaganza VII Review and discuss the return of NJPW stars to ROH TV too.
We start with Quick Hits (9:00-54:30) as per usual, where we get to happily talk about Lucha Underground returning for a Season 2 in 2016, but will it be with Alberto El Patron in toe? We also discuss if WWE finally does something with SmackDown when it comes to the USA Network, Eva Marie possibly being hit with a dose of reality, an update on Sting, possible Wrestlemania 32 opponents for Undertaker and more.
Then we let Paul have time to talk about WWE Night of Champions 2015 since he wasn’t on the Review Special on Sunday Night. Next, we get into our review of WWE RAW (54:45-88:00) by storyline and here is where we have our topic about the Paige Pipebomb Promo as well. Next, is us talking about this week’s NXT (88:15-107:45) episode as well.
After that, Paul hits on ROH’s All-Star Extravaganza VII PPV (108:00-121:45) and we also touch on this week’s ROH TV (121:45-127:00) that featured the return of some NJPW stars to the program.
Speaking of NJPW, this is where we do the NJPW Destruction in Kobe Preview (127:00-142:25).
Finally, we finish things off with TNA Impact Wrestling (142:30-158:00) post GFW Invasion and do our W2M Power Rankings (158:00-End) as well.
We will be back on Sunday Night with another W2M Special reviewing both NJPW Destruction in Okayama and Destruction in Kobe with a special guest.

Sean Garmer: studied Journalism at the University of North Texas. Sean loves pro-wrestling so much that he even trained to be a wrestler at the age of 17. Though he eventually had to quit wrestling to go to college, he still returned to do play-by-play commentary, help write storylines, and most of all, to watch matches. Sean started his love of pro-wrestling at the age of five after watching a Hulk Hogan match. Due to his family hating sports-entertainment, there were many years he missed. However, he returned full-time to being a fan in the late 1990’s. Since then, Sean has gone on to write for various wrestling websites in a number of capacities, but he discovered his true passion, Podcasting, two years ago when he and Gary started the Wrestling 2 the MAX Podcast.
Gary Vaughan: is a native North Texan with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas. His time in college actually rekindled his love of pro wrestling he had lost somewhere along the way. Gary’s enjoyment of the sport began around 1996. As a fan, he has become a student of the wrestling business and gains knowledge through many platforms. WCW is dear to his heart because of it being his introduction to the scene. Now, Gary is a proud podcast host, as well as a writer for wrestling columns.
Paul Leazar: is a recent college graduate from the University of North Texas with an immense amount of time on his hands because nobody wants to hire the idiot with the History degree. He was born an’ raised in the great state of Texas, and began his love affair with pro wrestling at the tender age of five after watching WWF’s Summerslam 1993 pay-per-view. The relationship turned serious with the growth of independent wrestling and the internet in the early 2000’s, which has seen the love affair turn into a full blown addiction that led him to write about it sporadically for various websites, and co-host the Wrestling 2 The Max podcast
