• ILW Lounge Vol. 34
    Dec 15 2024

    While most of the world slows down during the holidays, the gift of professional wrestling keeps on giving us treats like NXT: Deadline and Saturday Night Main Event. We’d like to honor Fraxiom not just as Workhorse of the Week but Tag Team of the Year. Uncle Naitch revisits the 10th Anniversary of NXT R-Evolution, Adam almost has to change his theme music, Frolf is impressed top-to-bottom by the Women’s Iron Survivor Match, Audio Sean has one small nitpick about Piper Niven vs. Bianca, and Rachel might have to start paying attention to Myles Borne.

Matty Ice cleared his schedule and is ready to watch NXT: Deadline live, Audio Sean , and Rachel celebrates Shinsuke Nakumara’s win as the new United States Champion,

    We’re the ILW Lounge, we bring the pod to you, it’s what we do. There’s so much to be thankful for with War Games on the horizon, a new women’s tournament off to a promising start, and one of the best Smackdown endings in history. Uncle Naitch celebrates B-Fab’s debut match, Audio Sean foresees a feud with LA Knight in Shinsuke’s future, Matty Ice discovers a new nickname, Adam is shocked by Rachel’s Workhorse of the Week, and The Queen of Wrestling Threads has some things to say about AEW.

    This week’s ILW Lounge is filled with five feisty members ready to run the ropes on what went down in the WWE recently. Matty Ice finds a new hope in Damien Priest after his latest promo, Adam’s anxiety is rising as The New Day’s anniversary and breakup inch closer, Audio Sean fantasy books Giulia vs. Stephanie Vaquer for next year’s NXT Stand and Deliver, Frolfa Tonga questions if The Wyatt Sicks still have legs, and Rachel covets a Treacherous Trios action figure set.

    Rachel, Audio Sean, and Uncle Naitch are fresh off the heels of this week’s Friday Night Smackdown for a late-night recording where we’re still coming down from the high of The Bloodline cinema we just witnessed. Our (well, Rachel and Naitch’s) favorite match at Crown Jewel was an eight-women showcase firing on all cylinders, opening up questions like if Jade and Bianca have reached their peak and where else Iyo Sky can shine her star power. NXT’s ECW crossover show leaves mixed impressions, with former legends appearing lost and out-of-place, but the main highlight for all of us was the twelve current superstars showcasing the power of the women’s division.

    Happy Halloween from the I Like Wrestling Lounge! Rachel and the guys unpack last weekend’s NXT Halloween Havoc, new tag team champions MCMG, and the latest Bloodline developments. Uncle Naitch recaps TNA Bound for Glory and some recent AEW updates, opening up a conversation on the debut of The Hurt Business in AEW. Frolf reminds us of the looming presence of The Wise Man Paul Heyman, Adam embraces the chaos of Bronson Reed, and Rachel just realized she forgot to finish the end of this description.

    Oct 26 2024

    This week’s ILW Lounge explores some deep and nuanced questions about the longevity and importance of The Attitude Era, what a non-2k WWE video game would look like, and if we can make Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson Workhorse of the Week every time. Rachel is pumped for NXT Halloween Havoc hijinks, Uncle Naitch provides the proper excitement for the Motor City Machine Guns debut, Adam delivers a eulogy for Jey Uso’s title run, and Audio Sean analyzes every smile in The Bloodline.

  • Is The Attitude Era Overrated?
    Oct 25 2024


    Rachel and Matt, The OG Duo of “The A Show” are here to answer provocative questions about if The Attitude Era is overrated and how terrible matches can actually magnify the beauty of the art of wrestling. Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack dive into a dumpster match that has us divided on what we think the ending represents, Rachel witnesses a live in-ring proposal at last weekend’s GCW show, and Matt previews his upcoming Halloween wrestling gimmick.
