EPISODE #042 - IMPACT GOES GLOBAL/HEAD TO HEAD: WWE GREAT BALLS OF FIRE/NJPW G1 SPECIAL IN USA: NIGHT 1 REVIEW

Ciampa, Dieter, Gunner... we promise it's not the military phonetic alphabet! No, it's NXT! This week there's a health update on the "Psycho Killer" Tommaso Ciampa, former NXT Tag Team Champ, and news on Marcel Barthel and Chad Lail making house-show debuts for NXT (formerly known as Axel Dieter, Jr and Gunner, respectively). And in the world of "That F***ing Owl," we are witness to yet another name change, as Anthem Sports has merged with Jeff Jarrett's wrestling organization with no country, Global Force Wrestling. And Anthem has decided to go forward with the company name Global Force Wrestling, yet bafflingly they will keep their only television program named Impact Wrestling. Who knows what will happen next? But tune in, dear listeners, and you will know the fate of the TNA/Impact World Heavyweight Championship and the Global Force Wrestling World Titles, as they were set to merge when Alberto El Patron faced Bobby Lashley at Slammiversary XV! Our heroes Daryn and Perry then go head-to-head, making predictions for WWE's RAW-brand PPV, the first-ever named Great Balls of Fire. Who will emerge victorious; Roman or Braun, Brock or Joe, Alexa or Sasha? See if you agree with the boys! And then: New Japan Pro Wrestling invaded the USA on Independence Day weekend, bringing North America and the world their G1 Special from Long Beach, California, and don't you want to know how it turned out? Daryn and Perry break down all 9 matches from Night 1 (of 2) of the G1 Special in USA, including Round 1 of the inaugural IWGP United States Title tournament and the showdown between IWGP Heavyweight Champion "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and ROH World Champion "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes!
