PW Exclusive, in your pocket. News, predictions & the forum — now as an app.
The latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio is out, with Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez working through the major stories from the current Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The two topics headlining the discussion are AEW and NJPW’s joint supershow Forbidden Door and the ratings surrounding the UFC event held at the White House.
Forbidden Door has become one of the most anticipated events on the annual pro wrestling calendar since its debut, bringing together talent from AEW’s roster and New Japan Pro-Wrestling under one roof. The event consistently draws significant attention from fans of both promotions and generates considerable discussion around booking, match quality, and cross-promotional storytelling.
The UFC White House event, meanwhile, represents a high-profile moment for mixed martial arts and attracted plenty of eyeballs — making its ratings performance a natural topic for analysis in a week where combat sports viewership is under the microscope.
The full episode is available to Wrestling Observer subscribers, with a version also posted to YouTube for those who prefer video. Given the breadth of material covered in the newsletter, it figures to be a meaty listen for fans keeping close tabs on both the pro wrestling and MMA landscapes this week.
