This year's best match just happened, Clash In Italy thoughts, another Ric Flair meltdown

The episode opens with extensive praise for the mask-versus-mask match between El Grande Americano Gable and El Grande Americano Kaiser at AAA's Arena Monterey event in Mexico, calling it the match of the year so far. Salomonster explains how the feud worked better in Mexico with AAA audiences than it did on WWE television, and how Chad Gable's injury inadvertently led to Ludwig Kaiser getting over with fans by embracing Mexican culture and becoming fluent in Spanish. The speaker criticizes WWE for not flying English commentators to the AAA show, instead relying on remote commentary with noticeable audio delays. He predicts Kaiser will win the AAA mega title at Triple Mania in Mexico City in September.

Regarding Clash in Italy, Salomonster notes the show was overshadowed by the previous day's AAA main event and suffered from several problematic finishes. Cody Rhodes defeated Gunther in 11 minutes with a controversial finish involving rope manipulation, which the speaker felt undermined what could have been a better match. Rhea Ripley retained her Women's Championship against Jade Cargill in a 16-17 minute match marred by excessive rope-based near-fall spots. Brock Lesnar defeated Obafemi in a six-minute squash featuring seven F5s, which Salomonster argues was the wrong finish given Obafemi's momentum and the storytelling opportunity a second loss would have provided. Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu in tribal combat, leading to Fatu's acknowledgment and submission to Roman on Raw, which the speaker criticizes as part of WWE's over-reliance on Bloodline storylines that have dominated programming for six years.

The speaker expresses frustration with the regression of Jey Uso's character development, noting how Jey previously demanded to be treated as an equal to Roman but has now reverted to being a subordinate without explanation. He argues this lazy storytelling undermines character growth and questions whether Jacob Fatu will emerge from this feud stronger despite the current weakening of his position.

Salomonster details the King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournament brackets, noting confusion WWE created by initially posting an updated bracket on their website featuring Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn before pulling it and reverting to the original. He predicts Seth Rollins versus Braun Breaker as likely finalists, with potential for a WrestleMania rematch between Rollins and Roman at SummerSlam. He expresses concern that having Brock Lesnar interfere in Obafemi's tournament run makes no narrative sense since Brock already defeated Obafemi.

The Queen of the Ring tournament features women's champion Liv Morgan, which Salomonster criticizes as nonsensical, suggesting the only explanation is that Stephanie Vagas will cost Liv her spot in the opening round to set up their title rematch. He notes Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill shouldn't face each other in the opening round and suggests winners should include Io Sky and Charlotte, with the possibility of Io winning the crown to challenge for the title at SummerSlam.

Regarding other news, Joe Hennig (formerly Curtis Axel) was arrested on May 17th in Minnesota on charges including DWI, refusing a chemical test, disorderly conduct, and failing to stop for an accident after hitting another vehicle in a McDonald's drive-thru while intoxicated. He was held for two days before being released. Salomonster emphasizes that drunk driving is a zero-tolerance issue given the dangers and past tragedies in the industry.

In AEW news, a new pay-per-view called Redemption has been announced for July in Montreal at the Bell Center, with Kenny Omega seemingly positioned to challenge MJF for the World Championship. Salomonster questions whether putting the title on Omega for a month before SummerSlam makes sense and suggests an Omega-Ospreay dream match may emerge instead. AEW is using the Ring of Honor Survival of the Fittest match format to crown a new TBS champion, with qualification matches spanning the next month leading to a July 1st Dynamite finale.

The episode covers TNA news indicating Leon Slater may leave for either WWE or AEW when his contract expires, and notes WWE didn't allow him to break Austin Aries' X Division title reign record, likely due to concerns about AEW rather than WWE. Fabian Aichner has signed with TNA through the summer.

Salomonster dedicates significant time to Ric Flair's latest social media meltdown, where Flair posted now-deleted tweets vague-posting about suing someone using his trademarked name "Flair," later revealed to be his own son David's recycling company, Green Flair Recycling. Flair accused David of using his trademark, referenced David's wife controlling him, and mentioned David selling Flair's robes. After receiving backlash, Flair posted a hospital photo and apologized, claiming health issues. The speaker criticizes this pattern of behavior as narcissistic, noting Flair previously pulled the same apology-after-controversy stunt following his Ariel Helwani interview where he attacked multiple people. Salomonster argues Flair is the source of his own misery.

The episode includes a revelation that in 2020, WWE discussed creating a new NWO consisting of Sheamus, Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Lars Sullivan, with a legendary NWO member supposedly flying in to introduce them, but COVID prevented the debut. Eric Bischoff claimed the three surviving NWO members knew nothing about this plan.

Finally, 72-year-old Tony Atlas won the ISPW Tri-State Championship in a tag team match against Anthony in New Jersey, making him a champion again at an advanced age.
