A Fantastic(icamania) Collaboration with Mr. Warren HayesIt’s been a tremendous week for All Elite Wrestling.The partnership was on full display how in lockstep these two promotions are, and they put on some excellent shows a four day stretch. Tuesday and Friday night were CMLL shows that featured AEW talent and Wednesday was an episode of AEW Dynamite with a lot of CMLL inclusion, including Mistico vs. MJF.The week was a tremendous one for both companies, and it takes a special show to break it down from all angles. This week’s episode of The Good, The Bad, and The Hungee called for something bigger than normal. With co-host Fred Morlan out for the week with a prior engagement, host Tyler Forness joined up with fellow Voices of Wrestling contributor Warren Hayes on the Mr. Warren Hayes Show to break down the week that was in pro wrestling, including some WWE talk.-The John Cena parody pipe bomb promo-How WWE’s involvement in the lucha scene could impact CMLL and AEW-MJF’s brilliance with the Mistico feud-Why

John is back yet again for another long dive through the world of Japanese professional wrestling, and boy do they have a mixed bag to discuss this week! Returning guest Velkej Bracha (@Velkej_Bracha on X), host of the ActWres Stage podcast (here's their most recent episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqIHVjqO6_8) joins them and starts by breaking down their recent trip to Japan, as he gives the live perspective on All Star Grand Queendom, Tetsuya Naito's final night in NJPW at Dontaku and more! Plus the two of them generally bullshit about Japan travel for a good long while because, to be honest, nobody wanted to talk about Dominion. But talk about Dominion they must, so they give a full review of a very, very bad show full of absolutely horrible and baffling booking decisions, and fair warning: John gets more than a little fired up about a few of them in particular. May wanna turn your headphones down for that part. They also discuss the quite bad looking G1 lineup and bury New Japan
