Hello everyone. This is WrestleMania weekend and we are about to watch a ton of wrestling. I know I’m having trouble keeping track of which shows happen when and who is wrestling on what card. Plus I’m used to everything happening on east coast time, so I keep reminding myself to make the 3 hour time conversion. A lot of these shows are on Fite which is running a pretty good deal this weekend. WWE things are on Peacock. I’m sure there are more shows available that I can’t figure out where to watch them, but if you know then let me know and I’ll add them to the list. I have a feeling I might be switching between multiple shows at the same time. Watching this match here then changing the channel (or staring at a different TV) for the next match on another card. Here is what I can find and comments for what I’m looking forward to.
It doesn’t look like XPW has a show and I’ll be skipping Circle 6. If you want to watch them go ahead but I’ve made my viewing decisions.

ROH Women’s Championship: Athena © vs. Yuka Sakazaki
AAA Mega Championship: Hijo del Vikingo © vs. Komander
(And here it is. This is going to be amazing. Tony Khan is going to put it all out there for this show. I’m predicting a Paul Heyman before Barely Legal esque speech to get the wrestlers fired up. Match of the year contenders and more.)

Sunday
WrestleMania Night 2 5:00 PM/8:00 PM
