All this and much more pro wrestling on this episode.

The guys discussed why Triple H is Fully in Control at the WWE, why Vince was shown the door, and the upcoming matches for Crown Jewel, including the LA Knight Roman Reigns match.

Triple H is Fully in Control

During an engaging discussion, Dave Simon and professional wrestler Johnny “Genesis” North discuss the recent changes in WWE’s power structure. The conversation reveals that Vince McMahon’s influence has significantly diminished due to Ari Emanuel’s intervention. McMahon has been removed from the creative helm, a position he has held for over 40 years.

This move has been attributed to several factors, including McMahon’s alleged involvement in scandals, unexpected stock sales leading to stock price drops, and unsatisfactory TV deals. McMahon’s son-in-law, Triple H, reportedly controls everything creative, signalling a new era for WWE.

The conversation doesn’t end there. The hosts discuss recent WWE storylines and matches, focusing on the participation of internet personality Logan Paul.

After a disappointing boxing match that Dave Simon describes as a “pitiful excuse for a fight,” Logan Paul has switched to the WWE arena and challenged Rey Mysterio to a bout at Crown Jewel, now that Triple H is in full control.

Even though the hosts express doubts about the accuracy of some reported pay-per-view numbers, including personalities like Paul indicates that WWE is constantly striving to grow and attract new viewers.

UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House

Colby’s Gone, Dana’s Wrong, and UFC Freedom 250 Has Real Problems

Three stories are colliding in MMA right now, and none of them are particularly flattering for the sport. Colby Covington is out of the UFC after going once-a-year for five years and losing four of his last six — then finding himself off the White House guest list despite being Trump’s loudest MMA supporter for a decade. Trump’s actual favorite fighter? Khabib. UFC Freedom 250 is June 14 on the White House lawn with Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje and Alex Pereira vs. Cyril Gane, but the UFC is running its own judges with no government athletic commission in place, it’s going to be 80-plus degrees outside with insects swarming the lights, and 50,000 people are watching on outdoor screens nearby. And Dana White told Time magazine that people who talk about their mental health publicly are giving young men permission to be weak. It’s the most dangerous thing he’s said in years — and the most revealing.

UFC 329 event featuring McGregor and Max Holloway

McGregor vs. Holloway at UFC 329: The Rematch, the Odds, and Why MVP MMA 1 Made the UFC Look Untouchable

Conor McGregor is officially back. UFC 329, July 11, 2026, T-Mobile Arena — McGregor versus Max Holloway in a welterweight rematch at 170 pounds. The UFC announced it mid-MVP MMA 1, which was either perfect timing or a mercy kill depending on how you look at it. Because MVP MMA 1 was not the show the sport needed. Ronda Rousey submitted Gina Carano in 17 seconds, then retired on the microphone. Junior dos Santos and Francis Ngannou were involved in mismatches. The broadcast felt decades behind. Meanwhile, the UFC is heading into the most ambitious summer in company history — Freedom 250 at the White House on June 14th, Makhachev vs. Gaethje for the lightweight title, Pereira vs. Gane for the interim heavyweight belt, and a full UFC 329 card built around the return of the sport’s biggest star. The gap between the real sport and everything else has never looked wider.
