Do you remember where you were when the future of wrestling arrived?

It was May 29th, 2014. The event was simply called… TakeOver. The very first one. A show that wasn't just another PPV; it was a statement. A declaration that the next generation was here, and they were ready to steal the show.

On the new episode of Legends and Champions, we're doing a deep dive into this historic night. We're talking about the match that truly kickstarted the Women's Revolution: Charlotte Flair versus Natalya, with their legendary family members at ringside. A match that laid the foundation for everything that came next.

Plus, we'll dissect the incredible main event that put the NXT Championship on the map—Adrian Neville versus Tyson Kidd in a breathtaking athletic contest.

We explore the moments, the legacy, and the birth of the brand that would define an era of wrestling.

WWE's Natalya is set to make history once again as one of the greatest wrestlers in the world. Besides her storied WWE career, Nattie has been given incredible recognition by one of the most respected organizations in the history of professional wrestling. This week, Mike McGuire and Joe Aguinaldo will touch on her amazing work to date, as well as her legacy beyond her own career.

Also this week, from Legends and Champions, Stefan Bennet joins the show with YOUR feedback on Jey Uso's World Championship rein coming to an end. Was it the right move, or does it signal trouble for the "Main Event" moving forward?

Plus, a preview of another MOW Independent Spotlight - you'll meet LEVI NIGHT, a pro-wrestler mainly out of the Edmonton area now, but has roots in a small town in Saskatchewan.

Finally, as part of this week's show, you'll meet Rowan, a fan that reminds us all why we got into this crazy thing we love called Pro Wrestling to begin with!

This week, Mitch Hontzias and Dimitri Korolis play the numbers game in more ways than one. While we can't guarantee their fact-checking (for legal reasons anyway), join the gWo for a look at all things wrestling including the fallout from WWE's Money in the Bank, the buildup to "Timeless" Toni Storm and Mercedes Mone at AEW All In: Texas, the return of Ron Killings and much more!

Plus, in the Alternate Scenario, the guys offer TKO some cash saving tips for the future!

You know the legends, you remember the glory... but what happens when the heroes don't quite deliver? This week on Legends and Champions, we're diving headfirst into a pay-per-view so legendary, it's notorious!

We're talking about Heroes of Wrestling! The show that promised a grand return for your favorite stars of yesteryear, but delivered... well, something entirely different. From out-of-shape legends to eyebrow-raising commentary, and a main event that has to be seen to be believed – and then some!

Join Andy Evans and Stefan Bennett, as they unearth the untold stories, the bizarre decisions, and the jaw-dropping moments that made "Heroes of Wrestling" an instant, unforgettable, and often cringeworthy classic of wrestling history. We'll explore the build-up, the backstage chaos, and the infamous performances that sealed its fate as one of the most talked-about, and often ridiculed, events of all time.

If you thought you'd seen it all in wrestling, prepare yourself for a journey into the deepest, darkest corners of the industry! Don't miss this wild, honest, and hilariously grim look at Heroes of Wrestling!

Last week, wrestlers, fans, and friends of Ron Killings all expressed their disappointment and shock at the news that TKO/WWE failed to come to an agreement to keep Ron Killings, aka R-Truth, on the roster.

After a groundswell of #WeWantTruth on social media began taking over live audiences at wrestling shows, including WWE TV, it appears as though the company has pulled a 180 and reached a new deal with the beloved veteran.

That said, a LOT of other things happened this week in pro wrestling, including two Premium Live Events, new champions crowned, the build to a major stadium show and much more.

Dave Meltzer from The Wrestling Observer helps us break down some of the stories this week, but YOUR feedback also returns with a full Yay!/Boo! segment all about WWE's Money in the Bank PLE.

Joe Aguinaldo is back to help navigate the Yay/Boo, plus much more on this week's show!

The most entertaining pod in pro wrestling tv reviews is back for another week, as Dimitri Korolis and Mitch Hontzias come to you with another edition of The Alternate Commentary Table! This week, did the gWo unknowingly cause R-Truth's release from WWE?

Also, as WWE's Money in the Bank takes place tonight, the guys give their picks going into the PLE.

A new feature, "Quick Tags" sees the guys take on some instant questions. They also look at the jump in interest in NXT, Okada v. Omega, MJF with The Hurt Syndicate and more!

From being one of Kenny Omega's earliest trainers and influences, to touring the world and appearing in rings from as far and wide, "The Zombie Killer", Mentallo continues to thrill and mystify fans with his unique character and stunning wrestling style.

Behind the mask is someone who still carries as much passion for pro-wrestling as the day he began - almost 27 years ago! In this edition of the MOW Independent Spotlight, hear from the man who chose an outlandish and charismatic avatar to create a narrative based on what you see in the ring, NOT just the person playing the part.

This week on Legends and Champions, we're stepping back into a forgotten arena!

You know the giants, you remember the epic clashes, but what about the road less traveled? The promotions that burned bright, however briefly, or dared to challenge the status quo? This week, we're pulling back the curtain on a truly unique experiment... the XWF!

Join Andy Evans as he dissects the brainchild of wrestling legends, a promotion that aimed to be the alternative, the next big thing, featuring a roster stacked with familiar faces from the Attitude Era and beyond. Was it a revolutionary concept or a noble failure? We'll dive deep into its ambitious launch, its incredible talent pool, and what ultimately happened to the XWF dream.

From Hogan to Flair, from the early 2000s wrestling landscape to the untold stories behind the scenes – if you thought you knew wrestling history, think again! Don't miss this illuminating, entertaining, and perhaps even a little controversial look at the XWF!
