WOR: Roman Reigns on Raw, GSP retires, lots of pro wrestling news
Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back. First, Dave updates us on his hand. Then, Dave and I talk about Roman Reigns being scheduled for Raw and Good Morning America next week. Dave then goes into his memory bank to talk about the career of Georges St-Pierre.
We get into some wrestling news and notes with discussions on the SmackDown ratings, the broadcast details for the G1 Supercard event at Madison Square Garden during WrestleMania weekend, Takashi Iizuka’s retirement match, and Matt Riddle. We also talk about the PPV buys for UFC 234, Fighting with My Family, and some XFL news.
