    Feb 18 2026
    PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents the Tuesday Flagship edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast with guest co-host PWTorch columnist and PWTorch podcast host Greg Parks. They discuss these topics:

    • TNA's first month or so on AMC and how they shook things up without overhauling the roster
