Arya and Trae return for the first show of 2025 discussing the two New Japan Tokyo Dome shows, WrestleKingdom 19 and Wrestle Dynasty. Who were the stars? Who weren't? Who knows?

Today it’s a very special episode of Something Else. Today, as a special bonus, we have taken all the wacky, crazy pre-show stuff Arya and Trae recorded and compiled it into one fun episode. On today’s show, Arya and Trae discuss Trae’s hard drive crashing, tech issues, XWT, No Mercy 2002, thinking about Tim Horner at Wal-Mart, Dixie Dy-no-mite unmasking, Arya getting paid $315 from a former employer, predicting what happened during AEW Collision, Claudio’s travel woes, AEW not promoting Tomohiro Ishii, Trae’s tummyache, marijuana, Trae making his doctor laugh with his depression, Sprite Zero, Arya screaming about Zoom, Mike Winner, Trae’s cats, linear titles, Money In The Bank, cleaning glasses, Jerry Jarrett lying to Panda Energy, Trae watching New Japan shows on his iPad during meetings his wife attends, Matt Striker, bad commentators, WWE ECW, drag queens, Christopher Daniels challenging for the TNT Title, Marko Stunt, wrestlers not being buried because they aren’t the champion, the Hangman Page quest to the World Title, Arya’s car accident, Arya’s notes disappearing, going to school when you’re almost 40, Toni Storm’s return to Stardom, cable companies having legal monopolies, Josh Allen fumbling the basketball, Buffalo, the economics of book writing, the 2024 US Presidential Election, Hellfire Club pizza rolls, Another Broken Egg Cafe, Tetsuya Naito, EVIL, Arya’s electrical fire, Trae seeing a car accident, a discussion of whether aliens would be fascinated by human’s peeing and orgasming out of the same organ and so much more! A fun show as always!

Today on Something Else, Arya and Trae finish 1983 with a bang! On Mid South Wrestling, it is the debut of two of the most famous announce teams ever: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler and then Ross and Jim Cornette. Yes, we get both of those duos here. We get the implosion of Butch Reed & Jim Neidhart after they lose the tag team titles to Magnum TA & Mr. Wrestling II, Jim Duggan vs Krusher Darsow twice, Lanny gets his 4th partner in 5 weeks and Terry Taylor is on his way. Over on World Class, Ernie Ladd makes his World Class debut going one on one with Kamala and Jimmy Garvin & Terry Gordy face Chris Adams & Johnny Mantell in the main event. If you’re like us and hate John Mantel, this is the match for you. Plus 6 weeks before he dies, WCCW plays a creepy music video for David Von Erich, made creepier by the music choice WWE made to dub in a track. Plus since they talked about 3 shows, they mostly stay on topic!
