Pat McAfee Wants To Save Wrestling? Or is he just saving TKO’s bottom line? On Episode 443 of the First Black Champ podcast, we break down McAfee inserting himself into Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes on the road to WrestleMania and why reports say this was a TKO‑ordered move tied to WWE’s ESPN partnership. We also talk about Ari Emanuel trying to turn McAfee into the next Sylvester Stallone, how Hollywood ambitions could reshape his WWE role, and why some in the company think this is the wrong kind of “heat.”

Then we jump back to WWF Superstars of Wrestling 1988, recapping the post‑SummerSlam era with Sean Mooney, Akeem, the Blue Blazer, Powers of Pain, Big Boss Man and King Haku debuts, and why 1988 might be the best WWF year before the Attitude Era. We show love to Owen Hart being ahead of his time, clown the Akeem gimmick, debate Dino Bravo’s terrible finisher, and explain why managers really ran the WWF.

Bang Be Known returns as we talk Trick Williams being accompanied by Lil Yachty, how Bang called a rapper walking Trick to WrestleMania weeks ago, and Yachty firing back at fans on Twitter/X about “deserving” his WWE moment. We also look at the mid‑card “grudge” stories, ask if these WrestleMania matches actually move us, and question WWE’s lazy approach to picking contenders for the Intercontinental Championship ladder match.

We run through the full rumored WrestleMania card – CM Punk vs Roman Reigns, Stephani Vaquer vs Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton, Jade Cargill vs Rhea Ripley, Sami Zayn vs Trick Williams, the Intercontinental Title ladder match, AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch, Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar, Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins vs Gunther, Finn Balor vs Dominik Mysterio, the Women’s Tag Title four‑way, plus a possible Usos & LA Knight vs Logan Paul, Austin Theory & iShowSpeed showdown – and decide what we actually care about and what’s just filler. If you love deep‑cut WWF history, modern booking talk, and unfiltered Black wrestling conversation, this is your episode.

Dante, Syd and Malik are back to break down Opening Week of the MLB season and give you a preview of what to expect this season.
