In this Dailycast episode of Wrestling Coast to Coast, Chris Maitland and Justin McClelland review MLW Saturday Night Superfight, their long-awaited return to PPV with a pretty lackluster effort highlighted by Killer Kross facing Josh Bishop in a Last Man Standing match for the MLW title, IWGP champion Yota Tsuji wrestles Trevor Lee, the Good Brothers defend their tag titles and Doc Gallow's son's honor against Glasgow Boys on Top, and more matches. We talk about why we thought the show failed to deliver, especially for a PPV outing, their advanced taping schedule hindering the PPV's booking, and the controversies following many of their wrestlers, which, warranted or not, is harming the promotion in multiple ways. For VIP, we go to GCW where Atticus Cogar becomes the surprise babyface hero of the year when he tries to save the GCW title from Joseph Sawyer and the honestly tremendous angle that surrounds their match.

In this PWTorch Dailycast series titled "Worse or Better," Josh White and a guest discuss one aspect of today's pro wrestling scene and compare it to previous eras and decide if today is... worse or better. In a fun bit of role reversal, Chris Lansdell drives the episode while Josh flails without his typical pages of research on the topic of health and wellness in the wrestling industry. Discussion started in the relatively tame early days before moving into the drug-fueled lifestyles of the eighties and the controversy surrounding steroid use. Chris and Josh brought up the rise of the hardcore style in the nineties into the high-risk workrate style that stems from modern indies. They considered some of the positives of wellness policies and modern-day health practices before making a final determination on whether or not wrestler health and safety is currently worse or better.

In this PWTorch Dailycast series titled "Worse or Better," Josh White and a guest discuss one aspect of today's pro wrestling scene and compare it to previous eras and decide if today is... worse or better. Josh introduced the concept of cramming 35 episodes of Worse or Better into one, focusing on smaller topics that don't necessarily warrant their own episode. Chris Lansdell and Josh went through the list of tropes, including contract signings, wrestling weddings, musical distractions, and many more. After assigning each trope its own worse or better determination, Chris and Josh considered which tropes need to be toned down and which ones may be due for a comeback.
