On this episode of W2M, we put a focus on Ring of Honor, not only with their TV, but we also look at their big pay-per-view they had on Friday. We are of course talking about doing a ROH Best in the World 2016 Review.
We rundown what stood out about the show, what was just there, and discuss what it means for ROH going forward.
There’s the latest WWE RAW to talk about. Not to mention, New Japan Pro-Wrestling had their Kizuna Road Show. NJPW also announced the G1 Climax 26 Blocks and participants as well.
We start things with a discussion about WWE RAW.
Next, the Wrestling news is brought up in “Quick Hits,” where we discuss quite a few changing plans for the WWE brand extension. This is where we give our thoughts on the NJPW G1 Climax 26 Blocks announcement too.

Sean Garmer
Sean 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
Gary 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
Paul has a 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.
