On this episode of W2M, we discuss the situation with Adam Rose and if he could return to wrestling at some point. Should WWE let him comeback? Or this a situation where it hurts the company’s image and they can’t? We discuss this, plus the story behind why Adam Cole and Adam Page are in the Bullet Club as well.
We start things with the Wrestling News in “Quick Hits” talking about the Adam Rose deal, Bullet Club’s formation, WWE’s Q1 2016 Financial stuff, the Andre the Giant biopic, Lucha Underground getting good news, and more.
After that, Sean gives a short recap of WWE SmackDown and then we get into NXT. Then there’s Lucha Underground as well.
We discuss some breaking news with the WWE Japan cards being announced and we try to figure out which one of the shows could be the WWE Network special.
Finally, we end things with TNA Impact Wrestling and our W2M Power Rankings for this week.

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.
