WOR: Raw ratings, Smackdown, AEW, UFC fatigue
Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back.
We start the show with a look at Monday’s Raw ratings, which were up. We then look at what happened on Smackdown Live and run through the current card for the Super ShowDown.
We have a discussion about AEW and their World title picture, the Pac and Hangman Page match on the AEW YouTube channel, and Kenny Omega as the top guy.
We quickly look at a new UFC main event and UFC fatigue, DAZN numbers, give a deep look at the Muhammad Ali documentary “What’s My Name”, and finish talking about the Post Wrestling narrative podcast on Owen Hart and Dave’s own guest appearance on Friday’s Talk Is Jericho podcast talking about Hart.
