SNME 248 – Antonio Inoki, Mo Jabari, Andrade, Steamboat, More!

This week, we take a look back at the incredible contributions, experiments, and legacy of the legendary Antonio Inoki.

Mike McGuire is joined by Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer and the two talk about Inoki’s biggest gambles, his innovations to the business, and of course, the match against Muhammad Ali.

Daniel Cormier is a BIG fan of professional wrestling, and is headed to WWE to referee the Fight Pit match between Rollins and Riddle – is this the gateway to getting Cormier/Lesnar in WWE?
Also, Dave and Mike discuss the announcement that Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat is returning to the ring to tag with FTR, and whether or not this means Ric Flair will want one last, last match.

Andrade El Idolo is hinting that he’s unhappy in AEW – does a virtually non-existent build to a “career vs. mask” match against The Dark Order’s “10” signify his exit from the company?

Also, fresh from surviving a match against “The Nigerian Giant”, Omos, Alberta’s Mo Jabari, who wrestled as “Greg Lester” talks about the experience of being on Raw in front of millions, being under the guidance of Lance Storm and Bret “Hitman” Hart, and his involvement in Dungeon Wrestling, which has another star-studded card coming up at the end of the month in October.

SNME 245 – Time To Be The Boss

While fans choose sides, there really was no right or wrong side to come out of the events surrounding “The Press Conference From Hell”.  Is this the wake up call AEW and Tony Khan specifically needed to settle some egos?

Mike McGuire and Dave Meltzer spend an extended session trying to analyze what could have lead to arguably AEW’s most embarrassing moment, and took the spotlight off an otherwise successful Pay-Per-View.

Dave sticks around to talk about Strowman, WWE’s decision NOT to crown any new champions in Cardiff, and what’s lead to Gable Steveson all but disappearing from reference since being touted as WWE’s latest Olympic Gold Medalist signee.

Afterwards, Mike and SNME Original, Dan “The Mouth” Lovranski take a look at controversies backstage and why this latest happening has garnered so much more attention.
