The Josh Nason’s Punch-Out pro wrestling year in review series continues with a stop in July — arguably the busiest month of the year when it came to news.
That’s because Hulk Hogan passed away which brought out a lot of big feelings, memories and a lot of mainstream media attention.
The month also featured AEW All In which saw Hangman Page end the night as World Champion in addition to a lot of newsworthy happenings.
July also saw the retirement of Bill Goldberg on the same show in which Seth Rollins got “injured” which also saw its own torrent of speculation, news, and conjecture.
Helping me sift through that and a few hundred headlines is returning guest Jason Powell of ProWrestling.net which includes the rest of the news in AEW, WWE, NXTNAAA, Japan, Mexico and more.
