The Don Tony Show

Enjoy this episode of Wednesday Night Don-O-Mite recorded 09/16/2026. Running Time: 52 Minutes. Synopsis posted below.

Lots of wrestling news and discussion this week including: 
ROMAN REIGNS vs LA KNIGHT LAZILY ADDED TO MONEY IN THE BANK: As DT warned last month, WWE adds this match to MITB in the laziest of ways. And if the match build sucks, it's going to get worse
CLUB WWE vs IWC WORLDS COLLIDE: As the card shapes out for WWE/AAA Worlds Collide, controversy builds over who will be able to watch this event. DT explains why WWE will not make this a Club WWE exclusive.
WWE/AEW/NXT WORLDS COLLIDE vs AEW ALL OUT: With both events taking place on the same day, at the same time, in the same state, is AEW All Out the real reason Worlds Collide may not stream live on YouTube?
SHOULD PENTA HAVE DEFEATED ROMAN REIGNS FOR WHC? A fair question that many are asking. But for some in the media, personal opinion once again turns into fake news and rage baiting
CAMEO CASH GRABBER TURNED CHEAPIE? Lighthearted update about DT's list of the greediest in Pro-Wrestling on Cameo (someone on the list contacted DT).
THIS WEEK IN RATINGS: WWE Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, alongside AEW Dynamite, Collision, and TNA Impact.
NIELSEN ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT RATINGS ENHANCEMENTS: DT breaks down the changes and how this will affect availability of traditional Cable TV ratings
RECOMMENDED INTERVIEWS: Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed on Close Up With Renee Paquette and Chris Van Vliet interview with Lil Yachty.
PLUS: Jon Moxley Documentary... AEW brings back Continental Classic Tournament... Homicide makes a surprise return to wrestling and much more!

Enjoy this episode of The Sit-Down w/Don Tony streamed LIVE Sunday September 13, 2026. Running Time: 3 Hours 13 Minutes. Synopsis for this episode is posted below.

When WWE charges fans thousands—and in some cases tens of thousands—for ringside seats, a run-of-the-mill DQ finish just isn't going to cut it. On tonight's show, DT connected the dots on WWE World Title changes across 2026, from Berlin and Mexico City to massive stadium gates. DT broke down the numbers to expose the corporate reality behind the booking: TKO used historic title switches in 2026 as high-priced customer satisfaction insurance to justify exorbitant ticket prices.
DT addressed Stephanie Vaquer regaining the WWE Women's World Championship and explained why her run might end up being MUCH SHORTER than people think.
DT also discussed Sami Zayn regaining the Undisputed WWE Championship and broke down a major problem WWE was currently facing on SmackDown. From there, we had to get into Jonathan Coachman embarrassing himself yet again. The self-proclaimed "media veteran" who loved lecturing everyone on real journalism got completely baited by an obvious parody account. We covered Coach's rant, the well-deserved roasting he took from fans and peers, and his laughable "I was in on the joke the whole time" backtrack. More importantly, DT exposed the much bigger issue in today's wrestling media landscape that allowed blatant BS to gain traction and go viral in the first place.
All that, plus: thoughts on TripleMania 34 Night One, predictions and reactions for Night Two, Damian Priest turning on R-Truth, WWE/AEW/Pro Wrestling talk, the live Q&A, and more!
🎤The Sit-Down with Don Tony is a live interactive discussion show about pro wrestling that streams every SUNDAY night at 8:05PM ET. We cover everything going on in the world of pro wrestling (AEW, WWE/NXT, TNA, old school and more). We also discuss non-wrestling topics, sports and news. Nothing is ever out of bounds, and the entire show is 100% interactive.

Enjoy this episode of Wednesday Night Don-O-Mite recorded 09/09/2026. Running Time: 81 Minutes. Synopsis posted below.

Lots of wrestling news and discussion this week including: 
RIC FLAIR SIGNED AWAY HIS VIRTUAL LIFE FOR A $35,000 ADVANCE — AND NOW HE'S SUING TO TRY AND GET IT BACK: DT dives deep into this $10 million lawsuit filed by Ric Flair against FAM Networks LLC. A lawsuit so ridiculous you won't believe what Ric Flair signed away. DT explains why this lawsuit will be nearly impossible for him to win and what will likely happen in the end.
IWC IN A FRENZY OVER BRONSON REED & OBA FEMI 'FOOT ON BACK' INCIDENT: Was Oba Femi selling an injury? Protecting his aura? DT breaks down what likely happened on RAW and why the IWC is blowing it completely out of proportion.
BAYLEY'S WWE CONTRACT DRAMA: As we predicted the night of Bayley's return to TV, the media raced to be the first to "report" her contract status. And someone is lying through their teeth.
LIV MORGAN AND CHELSEA GREEN SIGN NEW MOVIE DEALS: Liv Morgan lands a leading role in a psychological workplace thriller, while Chelsea Green will co-star in an adventure-comedy flick.
AUDIO: MARK SHAPIRO (TKO) discusses recent WWE/NXT pay cuts, WWE's global expansion, and makes an interesting claim: NXT is WWE's true lifeblood.
AUDIO: NICK KHAN discusses WWE partnerships with Netflix, ESPN, and Peacock, WWE's streaming strategy, WrestleMania 43 (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) plans, tuning out the IWC and online critics, and more.
AUDIO: NETFLIX VICE PRESIDENT PRAISES WWE PARTNERSHIP; discusses global growth, creative standards, censorship (blood), and future mainstream crossovers with WWE Superstars.
WWE LAUNCHES ITS FIRST-EVER SPANISH-LANGUAGE PODCAST spotlighting AAA and WWE just days ahead of Triplemanía 34.
MILLVALE (PA) POLICE DEPARTMENT ISSUES FORMAL STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF ANDY 'THE BUTCHER' WILLIAMS
MORE WWE SUPERSTAR GUEST APPEARANCES COMING TO NXT HOUSE SHOWS: IYO SKY and Chad Gable confirmed for upcoming NXT live events in South Carolina and North Carolina.
CODY RHODES' BELOVED DOG PHARAOH PASSES AWAY
THIS WEEK IN RATINGS: WWE Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, alongside AEW Dynamite, Collision, and TNA Impact.
IS SOMEONE SABOTAGING MVP'S YOUTUBE PODCAST? "Our subscriber count is way down... we've shown up every single week for 70 weeks." – MVP. 200K–300K views, 1K likes, and ONLY 30 COMMENTS? Sounds like an anomaly for one episode, but across ALL 70 EPISODES? Either someone has been feeding MVP a load of crap, or someone is sabotaging his YouTube channel. And DT explains why it's likely the latter.
