Welcome to the first episode of 2026. Smark and Boxman are back in the booth to ring in the New Year, but this isn't your average episode of Wrestling Outlet. We’re kicking things off with some honest conversation before sharing some major news regarding the future of the show.

Holiday Hangover: We catch up on how our holidays went and, more importantly, what we were drinking to celebrate the start of 2026.

The Death of Music Television: We dive into the final disappearance of MTV and what it means for the cultural landscape.

Radio Wars: A dive into the past drama involving Stuttering John and Howard Stern.

The Big Announcement: We share the news that Wrestling Outlet is officially going on hiatus. While this show is stepping aside, Smark and Boxman aren't going anywhere. We are officially moving to our new home: Hollywood Hangout.

AEW Dynamite: We couldn't leave without talking a little shop. We break down a few key points from this week’s Dynamite before we head out.

We want to thank every single person who has supported Wrestling Outlet. We hope you’ll make the jump with us to Hollywood Hangout. We’ll be live at the same time and the same night—just under a new name with a fresh focus.
