Rich flies solo for a Gordy List thought experiment on four WON Hall of Fame candidates: Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins, Junkyard Dog, and Zack Sabre Jr.

On the latest episode of the GWP, host Jesse Collings is joined by author and historian Ian Douglass to talk about the historic lack of inductees and candidates in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame. Ian and Jesse discuss the circumstances that have led to some historical contributors to be overlooked by the voting body, as well as the barriers put in place that have prevented Black talent from succeeding and being recognized in a historical context. 

Trapped in the Cagematch continues with the March 10, 2025 match between Sareee and Syuri—without a doubt one of the best matches of the year.
