Episode #31 - Ragin' Rich RPW Updates & Primal Pro Summer Surge

We're back this week with Rich Buchholtz, CEO of Ragin' Pro Wrestling. Rich updates us on the situations with Elayna Black's hiatus and Buff Bagwell's recent surgery. We discuss the impact those events have had on RPW Destiny V, coming up on September 27. In addition, we hear about four new events being added to the RPW calendar for 2026. We also discuss the recent injuries to Draven The Blackbird King, Tom Lawlor, & Scott Stanley (of Bob's most hated tag team, The New Guys).

Bob tells Rich and Jon that "wrestling's always on" in his house lately and discusses some notable events from a bunch of shows he watched over the past week, including Kaitlyn Marie vs Jackson Drake at PWF, Koda Hernandez getting a new challenger in Freelance, and "The Mecca" Brian Johnson's recent appearances at Chaotic Wrestling and on TNA Impact.

In our IWX Watch This segment, Bob and Jon first discuss Sampson's recent match teaming with TNA legend, Hernandez to take on The Double D's at Canadian Elite Wrestling.
