A story that has sent shockwaves throughout AEW. Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes and Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes have left All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Both appear to be on the fast track to a WWE return including WrestleMania 38. Their contracts expired in December; and many (here too) previously tried to discuss the Cody Rhodes 'Free Agent' story. Sadly, those heavily biased towards AEW shot it down labeling everyone sh*t stirrers. While those angry birds try to spin this story, we'll take an unbiased look at what happened, why it happened, and the sobering message it sends to AEW staff, wrestlers and fans.

RONDA ROUSEY makes her return and stamps her ticket to WRESTLEMANIA 38! Surprise returns by DREW MCINTYRE, SHANE MCMAHON, BAD BUNNY, and even IVORY, who is looking good at 60 years old! A nice moment when SARAH LOGAN returned and shared a smile with her former RIOTT SQUAD partner LIV MORGAN. Despite the click bait teased on YouTube, no appearances by any AEW wrestlers. BAYLEY, PAIGE, XIA LI, ASUKA, ELIAS were not there. TOMMASO CIAMPA, PETE DUNNE, LA KNIGHT nor any other NXT stars were there. Worst of all, VEER did not appear. And, we had a pyrotechnics incident where the WRESTLEMANIA SIGN caught on fire. DT shows video of that incident around ten minutes into the show. All this and more are discussed during this WWE ROYAL RUMBLE 2022 RECAP and REVIEW hosted by DON TONY. Enjoy the show! ==== WWE ROYAL RUMBLE 2022 RESULTS 01/29/2022: SET

Running Time: 1 Hour 45 Minutes Hey everyone, Don Tony here. As promised, I have started the process of bringing back online retro wrestling hotline and podcast episodes going back as early as 2002! I wish I had my archives of wrestling hotline episodes from 1997-2001. Unfortunately, at that time, no one was podcasting. The technology wasn't developed yet. And I didn't come up with the idea of posting my audio hotline episodes online until 2002. However, the good news is that there are close to 1000 episodes of archived content from 2002 thru 2019 that will be made available online soon! This retro episode of 'The Minority Report' hosted by Don Tony goes back to January 28, 2008. Please keep in mind that these older episodes were recorded at a time when everyone did their podcasting thru telephones. So the audio quality is primitive. I did the best I could to boost the quality. Looking back at this episode, it's entertaining to hear some of the discussions so many years ago. Enjoy this flashback to January 20
