Since there’s nothing on Triller this week I’m going to just take a moment to talk about the lay of the land as it was, here… oh sweet lady Satan TEN years into Sermon, wow. As it stands, Triller has been having some problems in terms of keeping promotions around and shows streaming and MyAEW has appeared to pick up some of that slack— I’m not quite ready to swap Triller out and MyAEW in (inertia is a harsh mistress), but rest assured I have my eye on it and whatever needs to happen will happen, sooner or later.

Remember folks, no matter what type of wrestling you like, no matter how down you feel about the state of WWE, AEW, Impact, ROH, or any other “big-time” pro wrestling, there’s something out there for you. There’s a pro wrestling product that can hit you in the right spot and make you love wrestling like you thought you’d never be able to love it again. It’s there, I promise. You just gotta reach out and find it, and that, my friends, is what the Sermon on the Mat is all about.
