354. THIS MAY BE THE END FOR LA KNIGHT/ AEW HAS BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO PAC
AEW does it again with another beautiful tribute show, this time it was for PAC and they didn't miss a beat. The show brought tears to our eyes and even though AEW is good at these shows they really need a break. WWE had it's Money in the Bank PLE this past Saturday and the talent saved the booking for this show! We give our thoughts on the show and why it needs to stop being a PLE. TNA had it's Bound for Glory show this past Sunday and it was the coming out party for Leon Slater becoming TNA World Champion! We give our quick thoughts to the show. WWE Crown Jewel is coming up but WWE REALLY needs to pull the show and maybe even WrestleMania from Riyadh Saudi Arabia and we give our reasons why. All this and more so come join us for good wrestling talk with No Gimmicks Needed!
