In this week's Flagship Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast from ten years ago (5-16-2016), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by Pat McNeill to discuss the previous night’s Raw and look ahead to Extreme Rules. Topics included comparing Roman Reigns in 2016 to John Cena in 2006, plus Alex Greenfield’s perhaps more apt comparison of Reigns of 2016 to Batista of 2006. Also, the misuse of Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows, fears of how Bayley might be used, the Raw closing segment with Ric Flair, Steph, Shane, Charlotte, and Nattie, the promos of A.J. Styles so far, prospects of a John Cena vs. Reigns match, ROH’s booking situation and the criticism of it this year including at the latest tapings, and more with live callers and email questions.

In this week’s Interview Classic podcast, we jump back to ten years ago this week (5-12-2016) when PWTorch editor Wade Keller interviewed ex-WWE creative team member Alex Greenfield. Alex talked about his time on WWE’s Creative Team in 2005-2006, thoughts on the brand split and first-hand stories of why it never reached its potential, plus fascinating insights into the McMahon Family with blunt comments on Shane, funny stories on Vince McMahon (including what he believes Vince would have done if he weren’t a pro wrestling promoter), and reasons for his fondness for Stephanie McMahon. Great stories, great insights, and great analysis of the 2005-2006 time and today’s push of Roman Reigns and similarities he sees between Roman and a candidate to be a top top star for WWE in the mid-2000s. A must-listen.
