Where has the show gone? Will it be on iTunes? Why won't you call me?

Ok, I made up that last one. Hello Rabblecast listeners, Hernandez here. If you're reading this before listening to this episode/announcement, realize it is not an actual episode. I wanted to take some time and address why there was no show last week and why the show has been "suspended".

We are working to get things straightened out before going forward with anymore episodes. We are taking this very seriously and hope to have things back on track very soon.

We want to thank our listeners for their support during all of this and we will update everyone soon. Listen to our State of The Rabble Address for more details.

Rabblecast Ep. 381 - TNA Bound For Glory Card Rundown,  WWE Network Renewals

One of the most important PPV's in TNA history is almost upon us in the form of, Bound for Glory 2014! The guys do a rundown of the card and give their thoughts on what seems to be an unexpected show roster. Keep in mind this is a TNA/Wrestle-1 joint show and talent from Wrestle-1 will also be showcased on the PPV. Will this be mark in the "Win" column for TNA? Or will they miss the mark on one of their most ambitious shows to date?

WWE Network subscribers, be warned, if you have let your subscription lapse. WWE is pulling out all the stops to try and get you to renew. Even to the point of hyping a PPV that doesn't have any matches listed for it yet. Has the WWE Network lived up to the fans expectations? Will WWE have good news when it comes time to report their quarterly results?

WWE's Night of Champions 2014 PPV is just a few days away and we take a look at the recent updates to the card. Chief among the various matches, the highly anticipated rematch between Brock Lesnar and John Cena. Will WWE give the fans a quick turn around of Lesnar being a "dominating beast" one match, only to have him be defeated by a "motivated" John Cena? Will this be the rumored end of Cena's long run as the top guy in the WWE?

TNA Wrestling makes the news boards with various stories. One of their top stories being the upcoming expiration of Kurt Angle's contract with the company. Angle himself has stated that he wants to make his next signing with whichever company to be a public event. Will it be TNA or did WWE finally relent and welcome one of their former Superstars back into the fold? Could there be another offer on the table from another company?
