Audio Ben is back with the OGs for nearly 2 hours talking about everything from the main roster of WWE, the development of new talent in NXT, and the big bouts of AEW. How are we feeling about Bayley’s reign? What impact is Jacob Fatu making? Which talent shined on the mic this week? How were AEW stacked matches this week? All of this and much more at The Lounge.

Good thing we got two hosts to fill each of Rachel’s shoes while she’s out, because Audio Ben and Matt are barely keeping it on the rails this week. In the past they talk about wrestling watching habits and past MITB moments. The present brings out Matt’s takes on Tiffany Stratton and Ilja Dragunov, while a deep discussion is had about Bloodline 2.0. The future brings SummerSlam predictions and whether Charlotte is still a factor in WWE. For the Main Event, the boys revisit their current takes on their personal Mount Rushmore.

Audio Ben hosts a great roster of OGs once again and they are covering everything from WWE to AEW! What’s Oba Femi’s ceiling? Could Rhea’s return have been better? Is Mercedes Monè just a Go-Bot version of Sasha Banks? Are Liv Morgan and Toni Storm the best stories in women’s wrestling today? All of this and our reactions to John Cena’s retirement tour announcement! So sit, relax, have some shrimp cocktail, and welcome to The Lounge.

This week on ILW, Audio Ben and Matt hold it down while Rachel is on vacation. MITB fallout is the topic of the week as the boys discuss everything from Drew/Punk/Seth to Bron Breakker’s rise, along with the quality of women’s wrestling we are seeing that doesn’t involve the 4 Horsewomen. Also, watch your back…Uncle Howdy is always listening….

Audio Ben asked us to think about our favorite storyline in each decade from the 80s-now and we uncover new depths in Matt’s worldview when he questions what makes a story. Rachel realizes that the 2010s may have been the most transformative decade for women’s wrestling, recalling her Total Divas binge watching days. We talk through our Money in the Bank Predictions, merch opportunities for the winners, and the latest Wyatt Sicks spooky shenanigans.

The ILW Lounge: Taylor’s Version is back with a stacked roster and even more stacked discussions on Raw, Smackdown, and NXT. Hot takes on Cody’s post-Wrestlemania Championship and comparisons to Bret Hart bring up some unresolved feelings with the lounge divided on if a true babyface is what the WWE needs right now. Is CM Punk and Drew McIntyre’s feud the most compelling story in years without a single match between them? Was the Uncle Howdy/Bo Dallas interview released too soon? We ponder these questions and more in this bonus episode of I Like Wrestling!

AUDIO BEN X @grumphandleslam

Listen up maggots! Commissioner Slaughter challenges DX Anti-Authority Triple H in a no-holds-barred Bootcamp Match on 1997’s In Your House Series Finale. It’s Matt’s first time viewing and a recent re-watch for Rachel, with non-stop momentum and conversation from the minute the bell rings. We talk through some preliminary Money in the Bank Predictions, Dark Side of the Ring episodes, and raise our ones in honor of Sika Anoa’i.
