Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!We're barely three weeks into the new year and already have the story of the year with the news of Kazuchika Okada LEAVING New Japan Pro Wrestling. I've got LOTS to say about the news, including the pros and cons of Okada signing with WWE and AEW, where he's likely to land and what it means for the future of NJPW. And less than a week before the Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins may have just thrown Wrestlemania plans into disarray with his injured knee, and I've got all the potential scenarios that could play out from it, including the route I would take if the World Heavyweight Championship needs to be vacated. PLUS... John Cena tells PEOPLE Magazine that his time in WWE is coming to an end... R-Truth details how his quad tear nearly ended his career... Samoa Joe and HOOK do some numbers on Dynamite and the important thing for HOOK now coming out of it... why Revolution is shaping up to be one of the biggest AEW shows of all time... Tony Khan announces he's bringing back the RANKINGS system and my thoughts may surprise you... Dark Side of the Ring episodes revealed for season 5... the NWA finally coming to The CW, but not in the way Billy Corgan may have hoped... MY FIRST TNA IMPACT REVIEW IN YEARS and the one thing holding back the company from growing its audience... and YOUR QUESTIONS on The Rock in the Royal Rumble, where Fred Blassie ranks as a manager, how the state athletic commissions regulate pro wrestling, and the Girls Gone Wild PPV that WWE would rather we all forgot (with a great Kevin Dunn story out of it!).***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for January 19th with breaking news on the status of Seth Rollins for Raw this Monday and the nature of his injuries. Also, Roman Reigns appears on Smackdown for the contract signing for the Royal Rumble and ends up looking up at the lights, and Butch is dead... LONG LIVE PETE DUNNE! ***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for January 17th with HOOK challenging Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship, Darby Allin makes an interesting comment about Sting's retirement at Revolution, "Timeless" Toni Storm continues to be fantastic and the LEAST important titles on the show are the ones that actually change hands. It was also the one year anniversary of Jay Briscoe's death, and while that would be emotional on its own, there was a segment with his brother, Mark, on this show that was emotional for a very different reason.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

We had WRESTLING GALORE on Saturday with the TNA Hard to Kill PPV, New Japan's Battle in the Valley and AEW hosting three hours of TV. Solomonster discusses Nick Nemeth being revealed as the big TNA surprise signing, Jack Perry resurfacing in NJPW and ripping up his AEW contract, Trinity losing her Knockouts championship and Chris Jericho being involved in the best wrestling streetfight IN YEARS. Then we get down to brass tacks with Triple H booking JINDER MAHAL in a World Championship match against Seth Rollins and the chaos that ensued on social media involving Tony Khan, who did more to promote Jinder Mahal in ONE WEEK than WWE has in the last seven years. Then he discusses the latest on this death triangle with Roman Reigns, The Rock and Cody Rhodes, including a report that Roman will NOT be at the Elimination Chamber event, Cody saying he's not flinching when it comes to being in the WM40 main event, talk of a possible TRIPLE THREAT MATCH at Wrestlemania and why that would be a terrible idea... Kevin Dunn's replacement has been named and he's already involved in a major scandal being BANNED from Emmy award consideration... why Kevin Patrick's job is in jeopardy on Smackdown and who would be likely to replace him... thoughts on Sting choosing THE YOUNG BUCKS as his final opponents at Revolution and one idea AEW might be considering for his REAL final opponent... Dark Side of the Ring gets renewed for another season and thoughts on possible episode topics... and YOUR QUESTIONS on WWE protecting Roman Reigns at all costs, one storyline pitch for SHEAMUS finishing his story at Wrestlemania, matches you thought would be great but left you disappointed, Undertaker names his Mount Rushmore of BIG MEN, why The Nasty Boys had beef with The Outsiders in WCW, and the influence of Lucha Underground on modern pro wrestling.

Plus, Bianca Belair and Bayley meet yet again, Karrion Kross' new faction gets a name but it's not the name that's going to make a difference and a near catastrophic injury scare ends one match prematurely, the second such time in two weeks that we have gotten a legit referee stoppage on a WWE show.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Plus, Samoa Joe makes his first appearance as the new AEW World champion and already has three challengers breathing down his neck, and AEW isn't fooling anyone by playing Chris Jericho's music over his entire segment to drown out any negative crowd chants. They can get away with that in a short segment, but that won't work during his next match.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

But it seems likely that this won't just be a one week deal and it may well extend all the way to the Royal Rumble.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
