Episode 52: One Year Anniversary

  Hey everyone, we have done it.  52 weeks ago we didn't think we would still be here but here we are indeed!  IWP celebrating our one year anniversary.  We started 52 episodes ago uploading video podcasts on YouTube.  We had a lot to learn about audio quality, video quality, presentation, thumbnails, pretty much anything and everything that goes along with producing a podcast.  Slowly and surely we progressed.  Getting a little better every episode.  We feel like we have improved over the last year and we hope you all think so too. With that being said, let's get into the future of IWP.  Going forward with season 2, we are cutting BTE and AEW Dark from the reviews.  We want to concentrate on giving dynamite the focus and attention it deserves.  As well as the working relationship AEW is procuring with the likes of, IMPACT, AAA, NWA and now NJPW, we felt like discussion involving these situations when the arise has priority over Dar...

Episode 51: The Forbidden Door

Hey guys, we have a great episode on tap this week.  Dynamite was awesome this week as we saw the return of "The Bad Boy" Joey Janela taking on TNT Champion Darby Allin, the first match in the upcoming AEW Women's World Championship Eliminator Tournament, Thunder Rosa vs “Legit” Leyla Hirsch.  As well as the proverbial "Forbidden Door" being kicked down as KENTA, of New Japan Pro Wrestling, tags with AEW World Champion Kenny Omega to take on Lance Archer and Jon Moxley in a falls count anywhere match.  KENTA will be cashing in his opportunity to challenge Moxley for the IWGP U.S. Championship February 26th.  On top of all these great matches we also see one of the first "Face Turns" in AEW history.  Who is it? Tune in to find out.  Thanks for listening and enjoy the show! Peace!

Episode 50: Go 2 Sleep Club

  Hey guys, we made it.  Episode 50, only 2 episodes away from the IWP 1 year anniversary.  Thank you for all the support this year, dating back to the YouTube days and continuing through the transition to the audio only version.  The jump to Anchor and Spotify, as well as other podcasting platforms was smooth and easy thanks to Anchor.  It is truly a remarkable service.  I just wish they would allow us Canadians to benefit from the ad sharing programs.   Anyways, great show on tap this week.  Beach Break was an awesome show, pulling in 830,000 plus average viewers.  The matches that took place were the anticipated meeting between Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Thunder Rosa.  A lumberjack match between Eddie Kingston and Lance Archer.  The Tag Team Battle Royale, to determine a #1 contender for the Young Bucks at Revolution March 7, and the main event of all main events.  Omega and The Good Brothers face off against Pac, Fenix...

Episode 49: This Is What Hell Looks Like

  Hey guys, great episode on tap this week.  After a rough review of last weeks Dynamite, AEW bounces back with a solid show this week.  Great match ups between Eddie Kingston and Lance Archer, Jungle boy vs Dax Harwood, and an 8-man tag for the record books.  Yes! You heard that right. An amazing 8-man tag match for the main event blew us away as Young Bucks reunite with the Good Brothers to take on the Dark Order.  We also take a look at the winners from the first ever B/R Live AEW Awards.  Who took home LOL Moment of the year, Biggest Beatdown, and Breakout Stars male and female?  All this and more in this weeks Impromptu Wrestling Podcast. Enjoy!!

Episode 48: The Betrayal Is Real

  Hey guys, we have a great episode of IWP for you this week.  It was an off week for the crew at AEW.  Dynamite was rushed and matches were awkward.  We discuss how this hurt the overall presentation of Dynamite. We also discuss how a young tag team from AEW jumps into the invasion on Impact Wrestling.  In a huge main event Tuesday night, Private Party take on veterans, Chris Sabin and James Storm. The winner becoming the #1 contenders for the Impact Tag Team Championships.  Lots to talk about, so enjoy the show.  We will catch you all next week! Top guys out!!

Episode 47: Tag Team Slut

Hey guys, we have a great show for you all this week. Night two of New Years Smash was a huge show on paper, but will it stack up with the incredible matches we saw on night one.  NWA Women's World Title is on the line as Serena Deeb takes on Tay Conti. The top guys FTR are taking on Marko Stunt and Jungle Boy. Eddie Kingston defends the Familia against "The Bastard" Pac. And the main event see TNT Champion Darby Allin take on "The Machine" Brian Cage.  We also discuss some of the PWI awards for 2020, as well as AEW partnering up with Bleacher Report to dole out their own set of awards. We go through one by one and choose the matches, moments and stars of the year.  Enjoy the show everyone!!

Episode 46: The Hand Gesture

Hey Folks, this weeks episode was a great one.  We finally get to watch night 1 of New Years Smash and it did not disappoint.  We had two title matches, an 8-man tag feature for top tag teams, a great promo from the returning Jon Moxley and quite frankly a surprising, hard hitting slobberknocker of a match involving Inner Circle big guys Hager and Wardlow.  All this leading to the moment of the week.  The ending of the show was history in the making but you'll have to listen to the end to get our take on it.  It was an overall very entertaining show this week which is what we needed after last weeks somber celebration of life tribute show for Brodie Lee.  Great conversations as always for the boys, so sit back and enjoy! Peace!!

Episode 45: RIP Brodie Lee

Hey guys, welcome back to the show.  I hope everyone had an awesome and safe holiday season.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone supporting the show.  We took a week off for Christmas but, now that it's Saturday, you know what that means.  We are back and have a humongous show for you.  Two weeks of AEW to get through.  Two BTE's, two AEW Darks, Holiday Bash as well as the very sad, very tragic passing of The Exalted One, Mr. Brodie Lee and the tribute special Dynamite we watched this past week.    It was a rough week for everyone in the wrestling world.  Brodie touched so many people and was widely regarded as the best, nicest, least selfish guy in the locker room.  Not too mention recognized as the greatest father and family man anyone has ever met.  We learned a lot about Brodie from the celebration of life we witnessed on Wednesday, and we would like to share with you our take of the man known as Big Rig, Luke Harper...

Episode 44: Just About, Not Even Close

Hey guys, a little of a late start this week.  Like last week's show we had some technical difficulties, although this week it was my audio that was effected but again, we power through.  There is no way to sugar coat it,  this week was a down note.  Weak executions along side over bookings led to a week in AEW that will and should be forgotten.  However a few bright spots amongst the darkness peer through and leave us, at least, expecting a better week next week.  Once again we quickly cover Impact wrestling as AEW World Champion Kenny Omega makes his presence felt as we are left with a tease of the return of a faction thought left behind in Japan.  One of the best bits we have seen on BTE in a long time has us laughing and wanting more.  Waiting Room bounces back after a few misses on AEW Dark and of course AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite.  Just about, not even close to a passable weekly episode of pro wrestling.  Enjoy the show everyone ...

Episode 43: Kenny Makes An Impact

Hey guys, a huge week of wrestling means a huge episode of IWP.   We have a great show on tap.  New AEW World Champion, Kenny Omega, takes his newly acquired title to rival promotion Impact Wrestling.   What does this appearance mean for the future of how wrestling promotions interact and work with each other?  We are also talking about NXT War Games, RIP to another personality from our childhoods, and Vince finally loses his mind.  All of this on top of an awesome, jam packed episode of AEW Dynamite.  Strap yourselves in, cause we are going for ride this week.  Enjoy! *Disclaimer* Technical difficulties arose while using new software.  Midway through the episode Damien's audio starts to pop and crackle, for what seems to be no reason.  We are researching the issues and will work to get it back to the top quality audio you all enjoy.  Thanks for understanding.

Episode 42: Winter is Coming

  Hey guys, this week was absolutely insane!  "Winter is Coming" was essentially a Pay Per View.  Two hours jam packed with; Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale, Jericho vs Kazarian, Britt vs Hirsch, a legend returns home to TNT and of course, the highly anticipated AEW World Championship match between Moxley and Omega.  It was by far the best episode of Dynamite we have seen to date.  Which means we present to you, the listeners, the best episode to date.  So make sure you are all subscribed, leave those 5 star ratings.  Enjoy the show!  We will catch you all next week, PEACE!

Episode 41: Did You Just Lick My Belt?

Hey guys, it was a tough week for us here at IWP, thankfully we have wrestling to take our minds off the negatives at least for a few hours every week.  This week we talk about the new #AllElite tag team, the 30 year career celebration for the Undertaker at Survivor Series, as well as an up and down episode of Dynamite.  With the special "Winter is Coming" episode of Dynamite next week, we are starting to get excited for the main event AEW Championship match between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley.  Be sure to subscribe, follow and leave that 5 star rating.  If Meltzer can give the Bucks and FTR 5.25, you can leave us 5 stars as well.  Thanks for the support, catch you all in the show. Peace!
