This week on W2M, we headline with a main topic of looking at how the
actions of Vincent K. McMahon echo those of Vincent J. McMahon and
perhaps father time will be what really changes WWE. This thing with
Roman Reigns is not unique in WWE’s history and we discuss why it isn’t,
what parallels exist between Reigns and Bob Backlund and more.
We also wonder if WWE will ever have an international Heavyweight
Champion that is from outside North America. Who could it be? Will it
happen within the
next five years? We banter about this as well.
Of course, we start things by discussing the wrestling news in “Quick
Hits,” where we talk about Sting retiring, Neville’s fractured ankle,
WWE not having a physical Hall of Fame, WWE having their first
international WWE champion outside of North America, Kota Ibushi
wrestling at Kaiju Big Battle, Jeff Hardy and Mick Foley donating their
brains for CTE Research, Mick Foley possibly joining WWE Creative, and a
lot more.
We move on to answer our questions about WWE RAW, We have our discussion
using an article by Barry Hess over at Voices of Wrestling about how
Vince Jr may be following Vince Sr. After that, we look at NXT as well.
Finally, we talk about Lucha Underground, we discuss Impact on POP TV,
We go on to ROH TV and end on our W2M Power Rankings (yes, we are
actually ranking them this year.)

stages of his career and how it could actually parallel those of Vincent
K. McMahon right now. What similarities do Roman Reigns push now have
