The Doc Says is back.  When you last heard from him, his pro wrestling fandom was on life support, but these past five months have rejuvenated him; the break provided an opportunity to get away from the toxic week-to-week WWE viewing habits that had come to define his podcasting and column writing routine for years, and the result was the opportunity to see what the rest of the wrestling world had to offer - and, ladies and gentlemen, was it ever refreshing.  Lucha Underground...New Japan Pro Wrestling...revamped WWE habits with a particular focus on watching the interesting stuff and ignoring the rest...deep diving NXT Takeover history...basically, folks, it was a period of Doc getting back to being Doc.  This week, he explains the aim of his return and the definite major purpose of The Doc Says podcast moving forward.  Long-time followers of Doc's work across multiple platforms may recall his enjoyment in mixing his other passions in with his pro wrestling interest, which leads into an introduction on toda

This week, Mav and 'Plan look over the creative direction of WWE in the aftermath of Elimination Chamber; it was another case of one step forwards and two steps back, as the company delivered an excellent, well thought out pay-per-view only to follow up with two bizarre episodes of television including ice cold introductions to the main roster for four of NXT's brightest stars. The boys ponder the state of the writing and the creative process of WWE (be warned- ranting!) before having a think about the Road to Wrestlemania in a little more detail, including where the Smackdown title picture might be headed, and whether (gulp) more part timers might be coming out of the woodwork.

Last Thursday, All Elite Wrestling held their ticket rally in Las Vegas.  We got one confirmed match and more inklings of what is to come; including a new working agreement with Triple A and the expected, but now confirmed, signing of Kenny Omega.  There were also some New Beginning shows this week, Bound By Honor, and Defiant's Unstoppable, but neither of the guys got a chance to watch them, so maybe just a little bit more random wrestling discussion the way that only your two princes can provide.
