JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review – Tony Khan buys Ring of Honor
The best pro wrestling year in review series in the universe rolls on with a look back at March 2022.
Helping me out on this edition of Josh Nason’s Punch-Out is the returning podcaster, F4W editor and Frasier aficionado Ethan Renner.
Plenty happened in this 31-day stretch including Tony Khan announcing he was buying Ring of Honor, WWE’s Big E suffering a serious neck injury that has kept him on the shelf for all year, Paul “Triple H” Levesque announcing his retirement, and the death of Scott Hall.
Here’s some of the other 552 topics (!) we cover:
- An exciting AEW Revolution that featured a dog collar match and the debuts of William Regal and Swerve Strickland
- Jeff Hardy and Toni Storm signing with AEW
- The build to WrestleMania 38
- Cody Rhodes’ path back to WWE
- Dolph Ziggler winning the NXT title
- Josh Alexander re-signing with Impact
- KAIRI returning to action…and lots more.
