We’re at the halfway point of my annual JNPO wrestling year in review series, hitting on the month of June.

Joining me for the first time is Garrett Kidney of the ‘You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me‘ podcast looking back at TNA history one month at a time.

Some of the many topics we hit upon in this hour include:

  • WWE Clash at the Castle which saw CM Punk screw hometown favorite Drew McIntyre out of winning the WWE World Heavyweight title
  • The annual AEW x NJPW x CMLL Forbidden Door which saw Will Ospreay take his first AEW loss, the return of Britt Baker, and several other new champions
  • The launch of the ‘NXTNA’ era as WWE and TNA began an unexpected partnership
  • WWE further expanding their interpromotional relationships with NOAH and Marigold

All that and lots more of the news you somewhat remember and that you also forgot awaits you with a click below:
