Wrestling Coast to Coast - Maitland & McClelland review Beyond Wrestling's Break the Walls Down incl. Andrade vs. Orlando, Bayne vs. Forza Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

In this Dailycast episode of Wrestling Coast to Coast, Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland review Beyond Wrestling's Break the Walls Down, a strangely stand-alone show with a lot of big name talent and technically excellent matches, but next to nothing in the way of storylines or angles. Andrade delivers his all as a replacement for MJF to face Bobby Orlando. Gabby Forza and Megan Bayne have a real corker of a main event as we marvel at the development both have made over the past few years. Joey T becomes Justin's favorite announcer for a very specific reason. For VIP listeners, following his spectacular show debut last week, we delve deeper into the legend of Harlan Abbott by exploring more of his recent matches.

Show notes

In this PWTorch Dailycast series titled "Worse or Better," Josh White and Stephanie Chase discuss one aspect of today's pro wrestling scene and compare it to a previous era or eras and decide if today is... worse or better. Stephanie and Josh discussed the optimism surrounding AEW during their initial press conference and what that might mean for the women's division. They marched through each year of the company's history, noting significant events and pivotal female wrestlers as the quality fluctuated, but the amount of time dedicated to the women remained largely the same. Upon arriving at the present day, Josh and Steph considered whether their initial optimism had faded and made a determination on whether the women's division in AEW is currently worse or better.

Show notes

In this Dailycast episode of Wrestling Coast to Coast, Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland tell you what to expect from Expect the Unexpected Wrestling, a clunkily named promotion whose latest offering - Dead Set - is a very, very good show action-wise, but dragged down by an excess of heel triumphs and a disappointing development in the title scene. But among the good wrestling is Mike Santana defending the World Title against Hot Sauce Tracy Williams, Alec Price and Juni Underwood collide in a match where their own mothers couldn't tell them apart, the heretofore unknown Harlon Abbot tears the house down against Matt Mako, and more. Plus, will there be a match between AEW and TNA contracted talent here in the near future? For VIP listeners, it's a special angle recap covering the unfortunate disintegration of Mane Event in House of Glory Wrestling.
