My first-ever pro wrestling year in review series on Josh Nason’s Punch-Out continues with a look at November 2021, a month that saw Hangman Page win the AEW World title, WWE make two big rounds of talent cuts, the wheels put into motion for Wrestle Kingdom, plenty of GCW news and more.
Helping me out is first-time guest in POST Wrestling writer and podcaster Andrew Thompson.
A few of the topics we delve into:
- Hangman Page finishing what Andrew called “chapter 1” in AEW’s history with his World title win over Kenny Omega at Full Gear
- WWE cut more than 20 talents from the main roster and NXT including Keith Lee, Karrion Kross, Hit Row, Tegan Nox, John Morrison, Nia Jax, Frankie Monet and others
- A Rock-less WWE Survivor Series
- The UpUpDownDown controversy
- Jon Moxley enters alcohol rehab
- News from MLW, GCW, Japan, ROH, Impact and more.
