JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review – October 2021

As always, this is a free show. Just click the red button below to listen.

My first-ever pro wrestling year in review series on Josh Nason’s Punch-Out continues with a look at October 2021, a month that saw WWE return to Saudi Arabia, the end of Ring of Honor as we currently know it, the build to AEW Full Gear and more.

Helping me out is first-time guest and co-host of Mat Men on this very website, Rich Stambolian.

A few of the topics we delve into:

  • The surprise announcement that Ring of Honor was going to regroup and reassess their future in the first three months of ’22
  • WWE returning to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel with a show that fans seemed to like
  • The build to AEW Full Gear in November with Hangman Page set to challenge Kenny Omega for the World title
  • The awkward belt exchange and backstage confrontation between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch
  • The random Friday head-to-head battle between SmackDown and Rampage
  • Impact, Japan, GCW happenings and more.
