Enjoy this episode of Wednesday Night Don-O-Mite recorded 08/19/2026. Running Time: 75 Minutes. Synopsis posted below. Lots of wrestling news and discussion this week including:
- DUSTIN RHODES GETS CAUGHT IN THE COOKIE JAR: Dustin Rhodes chased off X after admiring and complimenting a photo of a well-endowed woman who just happened to be wearing an anti-trans (bathroom) shirt, holding a Glock, and sharing a threatening, Islamophobic post.
- ROAD DOGG IS ALL BUT ELITE: An X spat with Dave Meltzer leads "Road Dogg" Brian James to claim he was passed over by AEW due to his political stances and core beliefs. Taking a shot at Shad Khan's previous support of Donald Trump probably didn't help his cause either.
- OFFICIAL WRESTLEMANIA 42 ATTENDANCE FIGURES RELEASED: Once again, WWE's trend of inflating attendance numbers continues.
- UPCOMING TV TAPING SCHEDULE: DT breaks down WWE's unorthodox RAW and SmackDown taping schedule over the next two weeks.
- NIELSEN ROLLING OUT MAJOR TV RATINGS OVERHAUL: DT breaks down the significant changes coming to the Nielsen ratings system—and why most of the wrestling media will likely ignore the story.

- PLUS: Early thoughts on John Cena's Coyote vs. Acme Movie, positive health update for Jim Ross, another Peacock price hike, NXT heading back to Canada in October, and much more!
