Seth Rollins Says Pro Wrestling vs MMA Isn’t Close—Here’s Why He’s Right
Seth Rollins compared pro wrestling to Broadway and stand-up comedy, calling it a complete performance art requiring more diverse skills than pure combat sports. Before the keyboard warriors start typing about “fake fighting,” his argument deserves more than reflexive dismissal.

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.'”
The Bottom Line: Dave Simon and Johnny North didn’t hold back in their most comprehensive SummerSlam preview yet, delivering the unfiltered wrestling analysis that only Wrestling Uncensored provides. From predicting Seth Rollins’ surprise Money in the Bank cash-in to calling out Jelly Roll’s “terrible” wrestling attempts, Episode 744 proved once again why these two are the Combat Sports Authority.

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.
