In a jumping all the big promotions edition of Spotlight, Gareth, Matty & JP catch up on goings on in the wrestling world as TNA reinvents itself (again) with its opening PPV of the year Genesis! They talk the revival of TNA and its Faustian pact with WWE that will consume its soul and ultimately destroy the company. Probably.
They also talk AEW roster issues, the build to SNME and Royal Rumble, Gareth watches Raw! Matty watches Collision! And JP watches GCW. Sigh.

Find Part One of this discussion in this feed as well as the uncut, unedited SICKOS version of our live recording for Patrons at Patreon.com/GRAPPL with video replay also available for Members at YouTube.com/@GRAPPL!
THE RULES:
Nominees are scored out of 10, in each of the following four criteria:
In-Ring: Match quality, skill and proficiency. The ability to deliver in-ring and work to the highest standard.
Mic Skills & Charisma: The ability to connect with the audience, deliver compelling promos & develop character.
Drawing: The ability to attract audiences & drive interest including ticket sales, merchandise, tv & ppv numbers.
Significance: Historical significance & impact, including influence, longevity, & notable contributions.
Round One - As this is the first class, we each have picked our Top 5 nominees ahead of the show, strictly to the criteria based on resumes in our lifetime (or post-1984). On the show we will run through each of our Top 5's, and then announce 3 additional Wildcard picks each that haven’t yet been selected by anybody else.
Round Two - We'll then take all of the nominees and wildcards, and go through their case one by one, category by category individually scoring them, until we total up the numbers and determine the overall Top 5 on cumulative points - the inaugural GRAPPL HOF.
