A jam-packed show this week after a particularly busy week for the TRN hosts. We touch base on everything the three of us have been up to, including attending last week's Collision and Dynamite. We compare the AEW live experience to WWE and give our thoughts on why AEW is still the best ticket when it comes to pro wrestling live events. Then, some thoughts on Chris Jericho's return to AEW and the lackluster build to WrestleMania 42.

This year's WWE WrestleMania event is around 40,000 ticket sales behind where last year's show in the same venue was at this point. Who is to blame for WWE's inability to draw a big number in Las Vegas this year? Does Paul Levesque (Triple H) deserve most of the blame? Plus, we look ahead to a big week in AEW with a loaded edition of Dynamite.
