On this W2M episode, we headline with our NXT Takeover The End Review, what did we like? What do we think about the results? What matches stood out? What’s next for NXT after this? Is it any clearer who could be called up for the ensuing brand extension? We also have our final rating for the show here as well. There’s also been a lot of talk about the Full Sail University crowd and that they are detrimental to the shows? Do we agree or disagree with that assessment? We try to answer all of these questions in our review.
Then we get into the Wrestling News with “Quick HIts” talking about Triple H’s comments from the NXT Conference Call and our thoughts on the Breaking Ground Reloaded show. We also discuss Tommy End, Moose, and Roderick Strong possibly going to WWE, the CMLL Grand Prix participants, Triple H meeting with Bruce Tharpe, and even a lady that went a little crazy at an indie event and more.
We get into Lucha Underground and finally, we talk about the go-home Impact Wrestling episode that leads into our TNA Slammiversary Preview, which include our predictions on the show. Then we end things with our W2M Power Rankings as well.

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: Has History degree from the University of North Texas, but right now works at a Comic Book store. 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.
