We're back this week with a packed episode. Rich Buchholtz returns to the show to give us the final card and details for RPW Redemption 4 in Manitowoc, Wisconsin on January 25, 2025. Rich will also update us on Destiny 5 on September 27, as well as Homecoming on May 31. After that's done, Rich hangs out and helps me preview this weekend's independent wrestling shows from all across the country. 
We start off the episode by reviewing Focus Pro Wrestling's "Larger than Life" which took place this past weekend from Barrel House Z in Weymouth, MA. A fantastic card topped off by the first title defense of Mani Ariez. 
In our #ANDNEW segment. we congratulate 21 new champions crowned this past weekend, highlighting the MLW Featherweight Title vs Hair match from Kings of Colosseum on January 11 in which Delmi Exo regained the title she lost to Janai Kai a year and a half ago, losing only a little bit of hair in the process. 
Our YouTube Recommendation of the Week looks at 4th Rope Productions, "Heels Have Eyes III" which took place on November 2, 2024, but was just uploaded for free viewing on 4th Rope Production's YouTube page. It is the only video on their page, but it is a good one. A stacked card featuring Joe Hendry vs A.J. Francis, Moose vs Zilla Fatu, and much more.

We're back this week with an informative episode. Ragin' Rich Buchholtz is back discussing all things WWE ID, telling us about the updated card for Redemption on January 25, 2025, as well as for his two other upcoming shows, Destiny V (9/27) and Homecoming (5/31). Rich also tells an interesting story about a blind fan getting unexpectedly involved in the action at one of his shows!
Also, we discuss the crowning of a new IWTV Champion in Marcus Mathers. Mathers ended the year-long second reign of Krule on New Year's Eve. We'll be talking about that match and the Era of Mathers.
In addition, our first Youtube recommended watch is CCW Alive TV Episode 1.222, which features the King of the Territory match to earn a shot at CCW Champion Meto.
Finally, we will spotlight many of the #ANDNEW Champions that were crowned in the last week, and spotlight several of the shows coming up this weekend. There is great action from coast to coast. We just hope we can help you find some near you. 
Next week, a co-host? Stay tuned!!

Also, I review MCW Pro Wrestling's recent show "Season's Beatings," which took place on December 27, 2024, headlined by a triple threat world title match between Kaun, Demarcus Kane and Joseph Keys. But, we start this show with a brief tribute to Jax Dane, whom we lost on Christmas Day.
