  • Remember when…

    DT said he’s not going to concern himself with other shows? That’s all the show is now. He’s constantly going on about how somebody got something wrong or never corrected themselves or how he hasn’t “seen anybody else saying this” or that nobody but him understands how ratings work.

    Pointing out how Nikki Bella says “so” a lot? He has the same things he says over and over again. If he ever catches himself just naturally saying “well”, he has to follow it by saying “well” like Hawk did. And he c... more

  • Don Tony needs someone to feed off of

    I miss Don Tony having an opposing view point to contrast off of. He’s great always has been and always will be. I think the show is slightly less engaging without a debate. Still love Anthony he is very good.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Sit-Down with Don Tony 10/25/26 (Wrestling-News.com)
Q: Are women's wrestlers popular more because their aesthetics or is it because of their wrestling?
He says popularity reflects a combination of wrestling ability, characters, personality and appearance. He adds that women's wrestling has more talented performers than in earlier eras, making it harder for newcomers to stand out.
The Sit-Down with Don Tony 10/25/26 (Wrestling-News.com)
Q: With AEW and WWE involving backstage drama and shows like Unreal and BTE in their main shows, do I think WCW 2000, Vince Russo booking would work today?
Don Tony says it would not work because standards and practices would restrict the content. He recalls WCW's restrictions under Time Warner and says he dislikes WWE's behind-the-scenes programming, though he sees its current focus as building emotional connections to wrestlers.
The Sit-Down with Don Tony 10/18/26 (Wrestling-News.com)
Q: When critics say AEW has no stories, they mean some characters are lame. Nobody will buy a pay-per-view to see Nick Wayne.
Don Tony says AEW's large roster and cards with many matches leave limited time for every storyline to develop deeply, and he argues the company need not imitate WWE's longer arcs.
The Sit-Down with Don Tony 10/18/26 (Wrestling-News.com)
Q: Do I think WWE did Roxanne Perez wrong by having her not win Money in the Bank?
Don Tony says Perez could gain a bigger opportunity by winning the Royal Rumble and challenging for a title at WrestleMania, so he does not think WWE has done her wrong yet.
The Don Tony Show 10/19/26 (Wrestling-News.com)
Q: Could we get a surprise return on Raw in two weeks in Brooklyn where Drew McIntyre comes back to attack Oba Femi?
Don Tony thinks a Drew McIntyre return in Saudi Arabia would make more sense, potentially creating a surprise moment around Crown Jewel.
