As WWE doubles down on its double-edge sword of a booking philosophy, alternatives look more appealing than ever

Follow @TheDocLOP

This week, The Doc talks about WWE, AEW, NXT, Impact Wrestling, and the NWA all in the same show. What a time to be a wrestling fan, right?

WWE continues to open the door wide for any diehard, long-time followers of theirs to leave and seek out alternative options. AEW seems more than happy to accept them, arms open and ready to embrace them, as evidenced best by Chris Jericho’s promo last Wednesday on Dynamite. WWE is leaning harder than ever into a habit that is successful by one standard while deleterious by another. Doc explains that comment further on the show, and it sets the stage for the back half of the podcast dedicated to talk about the other promotions.

The National Wrestling Alliance, for instance, burst out of the gate with their first “television” offering, their free show on YouTube rightfully earning wide acclaim in our community. Doc put Impact back in the game, meanwhile, after being impressed by their two top creative executives on Talk is Jericho. He was already impressed by the Impact product and roster, by the way.

Basically, WWE’s philosophical double-down is costing it diehard viewers by the week these days. Who will benefit most?

This week we talk a little MLB, discuss the red-hot Blues, the GR8 Chase, and whether a chalky NCAA Tournament is a bad thing.

This week on the 4 Corners Podcast, we talk a little bit about the opening week of the MLB and ponder just how good the Dodgers and Yankees will be this year. We then return to discussing hockey as Patrick’s Blues have suddenly become the hottest team in the NHL. Meanwhile, the GR8 Chase nears its conclusion as Alex Ovechkin has nearly reached the summit of the mountain that is the NHL All-Time goals record. The guys then discuss the NCAA Tournament. After a few upsets in the earlier rounds, things have been very chalk since then, with all four #1 seeds making it to the Final Four. Is that a bad thing? The answer might surprise you. All this and more, TUNE IN!

This week’s hosts… Patrick O’Dowd @wrestlngrealist and Dave Ungar @AttitudeAgg

Bandwagon Nerds #282: Daddy Ganon & A Glass of Wine

A double dose of Daredevil, major Zelda news, a massive Avengers: Doomsday reveal, and Villain Madness Round of 32 matchups highlight a huge week!

This week, the NERDS give you a double dose of Daredevil: Born Again. Disney caught most of us by surprise as it dropped two very different but very good Episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. The guys break it all down for you as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk both cross the line and revert into Daredevil and The Kingpin. Where will things go from here? Nintendo made a massive splash as it announced the long-rumored Legend of Zelda live-action movie will be released in 2027, leading the NERDS to speculate about who will be cast in the key roles. Speaking of casting, the MCU had an epic reveal of an enormous number of people and characters that will appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Which names surprised us, and which names were we surprised to see left off the roster (so far)? Villain Madness continues with Round of 32 matchups in the Cosmic and Criminally Insane regions, and all we can say is one region saw some major upsets. All that and of course Whatcha Watchin”?
