On a Super Bowl Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Josh Nason fills in for Andrew Zarian who is still dealing with frozen pipes somewhere in the still freezing Northeast U.S.
He recaps Saturday’s AEW Collision which capped off a hot week for the company going into next weekend’s Grand Slam Australia.
A big reason for the surge is new wrestler Tommaso Ciampa who has made a great impression and a more impactful one that Josh figured. But does AEW really need The IInspiration and even more new talent coming in as reports stated this week?
He also looks at the WWE title picture from SmackDown and a few ideas for who should challenge Drew McIntyre for the secondary-ish title. (Hint: it’s not Cody Rhodes.)
That and more await you on a new and ad-free WOL, available here, Spotify or Apple Podcasts in the Wrestling Observer feeds.
