Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, Garrett Gonzales is back.
We talk about the COVID-19 issue in wrestling as detailed in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter. We look over the piece from Variety on WWE and their fanbase. I get Dave’s thoughts on the G1 so far and if he sees anything in the booking yet.
We then talk a little bit about the Road Warriors, more on the ratings, the builds for both Clash of Champions and TakeOver, the latest Conor McGregor news, and thoughts on UFC 253.
