Wrestling Observer Live: Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk, firsthand WWE SmackDown review

Wrestling Observer Live: Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk, firsthand WWE SmackDown review

It’s time for a new Wrestling Observer Live, talking about the biggest stories from the week which included everything from Friday’s WWE SmackDown and Saturday’s AEW Collision.

Subscribers can listen by clicking below while YouTube upgraded subscribers can watch there shortly.

This week’s SmackDown took place at New York City’s Madison Square Garden where I was in attendance. I give my firsthand account of the trial of Roman Reigns and the rest of the show.

I also break down Saturday’s Collision and the big Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk match in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, but it turns out that was not the best match on the show. I talk about what was.

With the passing of Darren Drozdov last week, I also give my firsthand account of being in attendance for his career-ending accident in the ring.

Plus, I give an early preview of the planned SummerSlam matches, New Japan Strong’s Independence Day shows, and more.
