Samoa Joe made his mark in the wrestling industry in 2000. With 25 years in the industry, Samoa Joe has had success every step of the way. A star in Ultimate Pro Wrestling, ZERO1, Ring of Honor, TNA Wrestling, WWE and AEW. Saturday Night, I was afforded the opportunity to interview Samoa Joe. This was a highlight of my podcasting career, as Joe has been my favorite wrestler for over twenty years. I would publicly like to send gratitude to Steve Islas for setting this up for me. And of course, my beautiful wife Michelle Caley, who ensured that I would have this opportunity.And of course Joe, who took ten minutes to talk. Samoa Joe is 100% the Dean Martin of pro wrestling and I was grateful for this opportunity.

The WWE purchase of AAA has created some interesting moments for both companies. The first Worlds Collide event took place on June 7th, 2025, in Inglewood, California. The second offering of Worlds Collide will take place September 12th, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, immediately following this week's SmackDown. The show will be available to watch on the WWE's YouTube Channel.

Matches will include Dominik Mysterio challenging El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Mega Championship. The AAA World Tag Team Championship will be on the line when Pagano and Psycho Clown defend against the New Day. And the biggest cross-over match of the night will be when JD Mc Donagh and Dragon Lee, from Raw, along with NXT North American Champion Ethan Page, will challenge El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr. for his AAA Latin American Championship, in a Fatal Four-Way.

Plus, we discuss the rumor of Wrestlemania going to Saudi Arabia and the fear of the WWE pricing out families for its tickets.
