This week on W2M, we headline with a main topic of looking at how the actions of Vincent K. McMahon echo those of Vincent J. McMahon and perhaps father time will be what really changes WWE. This thing with Roman Reigns is not unique in WWE’s history and we discuss why it isn’t, what parallels exist between Reigns and Bob Backlund and more.
We also wonder if WWE will ever have an international Heavyweight Champion that is from outside North America. Who could it be? Will it happen within the next five years? We banter about this as well.
Of course, we start things by discussing the wrestling news in “Quick Hits,” where we talk about Sting retiring, Neville’s fractured ankle, WWE not having a physical Hall of Fame, WWE having their first international WWE champion outside of North America, Kota Ibushi wrestling at Kaiju Big Battle, Jeff Hardy and Mick Foley donating their brains for CTE Research, Mick Foley possibly joining WWE Creative, and a lot more.
We move on to answer our questions about WWE RAW, We have our discussion using an article by Barry Hess over at Voices of Wrestling about how Vince Jr may be following Vince Sr. After that, we look at NXT as well.
Finally, we talk about Lucha Underground, we discuss Impact on POP TV, We go on to ROH TV and end on our W2M Power Rankings (yes, we are actually ranking them this year.)

McMahon in the latter stages of his career and how it could actually parallel those of Vincent K. McMahon right now. What similarities do Roman Reigns push now have to Bob Backlund's initial push in the late 70's? What about Roman Reigns is really the problem? We try to figure all of that out and more.
