So much negativity, so much criticism...sometimes it seems like all we do is dwell on the negative, and in the case of fans talking about Dave Meltzer and Vince Russo, it seems like the cool thing to do...but maybe we should appreciate these two guys, similar in many ways, and Matt makes the case why.

Matt on Meltzer/AEW, New Direction of Russo show, ROH/NJPW relationship.
Jun 19, 2019
Show notes
This week, Matt decided to lean in on his title of "most hated man in wrestling podcasting" by saying truths that needed to be said, and probably not making any friends in the process. Is dave Meltzer a consultant for AEW? (according to Meltzer, he isn't... but he is), how successful will the new direction of the Russo show be with Matt gone? and how beneficial is the ROH relationship to NJPW, and what is the fallout from the wasted opportunity of the MSG show? This week Matt makes some enemies, and takes name, it is Total Engagement!

Show notes
This week on Total Engagement with Matt Koon, Matt takes on the issues head on. Wading through the he said/she said story of Bully Ray and the Fan at ROH, the self loathing WWE fan, a fun unknown story about Cody, the Elite, and the WWE, and the highlight, an interview with a young wrestler Killian McMurphy who set off a twitter storm with a tweet about Jim Cornette, who when listening to Mr. Cornette's show, heard what he believed were homophobic statements about AEW wrestler Sonny Kiss. Killian in addition to being a young up and coming wrestler, is Sonny Kiss's fiancé, and a great open conversation is had about sensitivity, LGBT perception, and hopefully a lot is learned by all... this week on Total Engagement!
