Dave Simon and pro wrestler "Genesis" Johnny North break down the tale of two WWE cities on Wrestling Uncensored Episode 745. Dave shares his incredible live experience watching John Cena's potential farewell match in Montreal with his son, while critiquing tonight's lackluster SmackDown from Boston.
The hosts dive deep into Sami Zayn's surprising brand switch from Raw to SmackDown, exploring whether it's strategic booking or desperate storytelling. They analyze the escalating competition between WWE and AEW as both promotions head to Europe simultaneously, questioning whether the scheduling conflicts represent genuine wrestling wars.
Key discussions include Naomi's mysterious medical clearance issues and potential pregnancy rumors, Bron Breakker's controversial age-based promos targeting CM Punk, and the philosophical debate about worked shoots in modern wrestling. Dave delivers his memorable "coffee analogy" explaining why AEW appeals to niche audiences while WWE maintains mass market appeal.
The episode features candid takes on Montreal's unique wrestling culture, including the hilarious "pajante" chants that confused English-speaking commentary, plus honest reviews of tonight's underwhelming match quality compared to last week's star-studded Montreal show.
