Dream Slam Monthly (Vol. 13) New Year New Challenges

January 28, 2024 Karen Peterson Exclusives, NEWS

I had a completely different opening planned for this month’s edition of Dream Slam Monthly until Thursday afternoon. I was still riding the high of all the great wrestling that kicked off 2024, the formal announced departure of Kazuchika Okada from NJPW, and looking ahead to the Royal Rumble later tonight. Instead, I give you John Pollock & Brandon Thurston’s discussion regarding Ms. Janel Grant’s court filing as its one of the most harrowing reads I’ve ever experienced as a wrestling fan.

John & Brandon handle the topics respectfully, concisely and with exceptional care. Make the time to give it a watch. No special match recommendation this month. Support the Women’s Royal Rumble, and be aware that not everyone fights their battles publicly. Far more struggle in silence, and it’s okay to reach out for help through counseling and advocacy channels. Also, this isn’t a topic for tribal bandwagon supremacy.
