Today we jump back five years to the June 30 and July 4, 2020 episodes of the PWTorch Dailycast.
First, on "Grit & Glitter" (6/30/2020), Harley R. Pageot and Emily Fear discuss WWE staff testing positive for COVID-19, Impact firing Tessa Blanchard, and promotions affected by the SpeakingOut accusations. Plus, J.R. Harris joins to look back at December 2019 and discuss which wrestlers have climbed the ranks and which have suffered setbacks in the first half of 2020.
Then, on "The Deep Dive" (7/4/2020), Rich Fann welcomed Chris Maitland onto the show to review the 2020 New Japan Cup Final. Key topics in the chat include “only my finish or bust,” the stories outside of the finalists that intrigued viewers, New Japan’s ever-expanding singles heavyweight scene, wrestlers who disappointed with imports not available, and what lied ahead for some of the younger participants – with an eye on the G-1 Climax, whenever that can occur.
