Wrestling Observer Radio returns tonight with a packed show! First, Vinny and I run down the TNA Turning Point PPV match-by-match, then Dave Meltzer joins me to give his thoughts, plus thoughts on Impact and Smackdown this week, ROH in Canada, WWE in Europe, the axing of Fabricio Werdum, TNA booking and where they’re going at the next set of tapings, powerlifting and strength sports, and so much more. I apologize for the technical difficulties but those should be cleaned up within the next few weeks. Yes, I have absolutely no luck.
