Why WrestleMania 43 Saudi Arabia Could Be ‘Botch-A-Mania’ Plus Wrestlepalooza Preview

WWE just made wrestling history for all the wrong reasons. When the company announced that WrestleMania 43 would take place in Saudi Arabia in 2027, Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North didn’t hold back their scathing criticism.
“This may be the weirdest, worst WrestleMania of all time, and I’m kind of excited about it for that reason. Like this may be botch-a-mania,” Dave declared, painting a grim picture of aging legends wrestling in extreme heat for a manufactured audience.
But the controversy doesn’t stop there. With September 20th bringing both WWE’s historic Wrestlepalooza revival and AEW All Out in Toronto on the same night, the hosts broke down why this could be a turning point for professional wrestling – and not necessarily in a good way.
From John Cena’s final Wrestlepalooza appearance against Brock Lesnar to the dream match of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage reuniting against FTR, Simon and North delivered unfiltered analysis that wrestling fans won’t hear anywhere else.

In this episode of Wrestling Uncensored, co-hosts Dave Simon and Pro Wrestler Genesis Johnny North deliver their unfiltered take on the combat sports world, beginning with a deep dive into the fallout from AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. The hosts were in agreement on the overall score for the event, but their opinions diverged on specific matches, with Simon praising the insanity of the steel cage match and Johnny North championing the standout performance of Bozilla in the women’s four-way bout.
The conversation then shifts to the persistent rumors surrounding Chris Jericho and a potential return to WWE when his AEW contract expires. Simon and North find themselves on opposite sides of the debate, with North arguing that Jericho has “unfinished business” in AEW and should conclude his storylines, while Simon advocates for a harder line, suggesting AEW should use his remaining time to elevate younger talent. The episode culminates with a detailed breakdown of the six-match card for WWE’s Clash in Paris, complete with predictions and analysis of the fervent French crowd’s reactions to stars like John Cena and Logan Paul.

Forbidden Door 2025 Preview: Hangman vs. MJF, Cena’s Final Tour and WWE’s Creative Problems

Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North delivered their most passionate debate of the year while previewing Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door from London’s O2 Arena. The duo clashed over whether “Timeless” Toni Storm should retain her Women’s World Championship against Athena, with Simon delivering a fiery defense: “Tony Storm is a superstar – she makes the championship important, she makes the division important. Athena’s promos are terrible compared to Storm’s, which are some of the best in the business.”
But the real fireworks came during their analysis of WWE’s backstage culture, as Simon raised serious concerns about Triple H’s behavior on WWE Untold. “He’s holding them very close, whispering in their ears while they’re basically in their gear,” Simon observed about Triple H’s extended embraces with wrestlers. “It’s not a workplace thing – this is like a power move.”
From Hangman Page’s “magnificent” title reign that has him “crushing promos” against MJF, to potential dream matches featuring the “fucking good team” of Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay, the hosts delivered their most comprehensive wrestling analysis yet. Plus: Chris Jericho’s rumored WWE return, John Cena’s farewell tour strategy, and why Simon thinks WWE’s comedy segments are “cringy” disasters that ruin otherwise solid programming.

Triple H’s “Doofus” Week and Our Unfiltered SummerSlam 2025 Predictions

“Allegations are allegations,” Dave quoted Triple H’s controversial statement about the McMahon situation. “What? It’s a complicated relationship for anybody in life.”
The criticism extended to WWE’s “Unreal” documentary series, which Dave described as “obvious they’re trying to make him into this TV star.” Johnny North agreed, noting the show’s focus on making Triple H appear as “this creative genius.”
“I saw somebody say that this is like to make Triple H look like the Dana White of the WWE,” Dave explained. “They’re really just making Triple H into this cool guy who is this creative genius. And after seeing that, I’m like, yeah, they just sit in a room with like five guys. So what do you think? Goddamn Doc Hendrix on a TV screen going, ‘well, hell, I think maybe Jey Uso.'”

SummerSlam 2025: A10-Hour Marathon Could Break Wrestling Fans (And Why Jelly Roll Proves WWE Has Lost Its Mind)

SummerSlam 2025 is shaping up to be WWE’s most ambitious and potentially exhausting event in company history, with Wrestling Uncensored hosts predicting an unprecedented 8-10 hour marathon across two nights. While Night One promises traditional wrestling with dream matches like Gunther vs CM Punk, Night Two transforms into a gimmick-heavy spectacle featuring John Cena’s potential farewell in a Street Fight against Cody Rhodes. But the real controversy? Jelly Roll’s cringe-worthy wrestling debut on SmackDown has fans questioning whether WWE’s celebrity obsession has gone too far. From botched spots breaking noses to country singers delivering “the worst forearms maybe ever,” this weekend’s biggest party of the summer might test even the most dedicated wrestling fan’s endurance.
Hulk Hogan’s Legacy: The Man Who Changed Wrestling Forever, a Ringside Report Tribute

The wrestling world stands still today, mourning the loss of the immortal Hulk Hogan. But on this special episode of Wrestling Uncensored, we weren’t just mourning a wrestler; we were remembering the man who changed the entire business—not once, but twice. Dave Simon and Johnny North paid a heartfelt tribute to the legend, making one truth crystal clear: there will never be another Hulk Hogan.
This wasn’t just a man who sold tickets; he was the reason the tickets were printed in the first place. He was the Babe Ruth of professional wrestling, a cultural phenomenon who transcended the ring to open doors for every superstar who followed. From the glorious heights of Hulkamania to his shocking heel turn that sparked the Monday Night Wars, Hogan’s fingerprints are on every significant moment in wrestling history.
His legacy is complicated, to be sure, and we don’t shy away from that. But as Dave Simon so eloquently put it, “I’m able to separate whatever he was as a person… from the enjoyment that he brought to my life and to millions of others.” Hogan was a performer who could make a simple gesture feel electric, a showman who sold out arenas around the globe, and a legend who taught millions of kids to say their prayers, eat their vitamins, and believe in Hulkamania. His final bow may have been on July 24, 2025, but his legacy will live forever, brother.
