Lords Of Pain Radio

This week, it's the Sunday Wrestling Conversation, and on this occasion The Doc is joined by LOP's long-running recapper of NXT's weekly Network show and writer of the Cool Points rankings columns dedicated to the yellow brand, a good friend of the program, J Cool.  Much has happened in NXT since the last time JC and Doc had a conversation on this podcast ahead of Takeover: Brooklyn IV.  NXT is heading back to New York next weekend; what to make of the latest Takeover card is certainly at the forefront of the discussion today, but they also tackle such topics as the main roster call-up process and whether or not a change is coming to off-set the generally poor transitions initiated by WWE proper in the last two or so years.  The conversation seems destined to dovetail into many asides, so join Doc and JC and listen to how it all plays out!

This week, 'Plan and Mav conclude their mini series on the best WWE matches of the decade by looking at the 2017-2019 period. Although a creative down time for WWE, there are a surprising amount of quality PPV matches to discuss, including those that formed the renaissance of the Intercontinental Title, a Wrestlemania Kingslaying, a fatal five way, some forgotten midcard gems, and some Shield classics at Summerslam, Survivor Series, and Fast Lane. As always, there are diversions and japes aplenty!

No, I didn't spell that wrong.  We're talking about "Filthy" Tom Lawlor, not Jerry Lawler.  Tonight we'll be discussing the events of MLW from late 2018 until February 2, 2019--Episodes 36-43 (Superfight) where Tom Lawlor finally got his hands on Low Ki and ended the 15 year undefeated streak of "The Professional."  Also in MLW are the Lucha Bros, Sami Callahan, and everybody's favorite--Shane Strickland.   We'll also discuss the New Japan Cup, All Elite Wrestlin, and more.

This week, the upcoming challenge for Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship by Seth Rollins is at the forefront of Doc's mind.  As a big fan of the Architect, he is of course hopeful that a run with the big red belt will begin for Rollins at WrestleMania, but his more dominating thoughts are of what a great match in such a high profile position against such a polarizing opponent could mean to the burgeoning WrestleMania legacy of the Beast Slayer.  Rollins has had a tremendous career already, and he has a resume on the grandest stage without peers among his contemporaries; win the title from Brock and do it in glorious fashion and words like "legendary" could start being used in reference to Seth more readily.  Also, Doc takes a trip down Memory Lane to talk about one of his all-time favorites, Edge, whose own WrestleMania legacy Doc finds to be underrated in its upper echelon status.
