Celebrate Wrestling - McGuire on Wrestling

The Greeks are LOVING Roman v. Sami at WWE's Crown Jewel... wherever it may take place.

Join the gWo for another trip through the past wrestling week to see what they're loving, they're not feeling, and what could be better.  As WWE's next PLE pits Champions against each other, who do YOU think will come out on top?

Plus, is Bron Breakker broken?  Is Penta with Money in the Bank already running cold? 

On the AEW side of things, the guys offer some thoughts on the overall scene, some fallout from WrestleDream and more!

Finally, The Alternate Scenario talks gimmick matches and barefoot wrestlers... sort of... 

Don't listen to this.

This week, it's a tale of injuries, consequences and content!

AEW's WrestleDream was a solid show, but did it garner much interest in a busy time of year, and an oversaturated wrestling calendar?  We get YOUR feedback to the show, as well as some insight into its performance from The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer.

Also on the docket, Mike McGuire discusses Adam Copeland's retirement announcement, and the mixed messages still being sent about injuries and work ethic.

Plus, we discuss the situation involving TNA Wrestling and Max Caster - one week after his same-day employment and firing from the company. While Bound For Glory had some fun surprises and interesting matches - including a new youngest World Champion in company history, how nobody is talking about anything else is a problem.

Following WWE's Money in the Bank, the gWo are back... with a LOT of questions.  How did they feel about the show overall?  Do you agree with their takes?  Does Dimitri have a hidden crush on cartoon characters? Is it Young Nick Wayne or Wayne Nick Young?

The guys look at all this and more, including whether or not Roman Reigns retaining against LA Knight was the right move, and fictional/celebrity dream matches!

WWE's Money in the Bank saw some surprising moments, and scary spots. In the ever-evolving world of pro-wrestling, where the "working" is becoming more about stunts and high-spots, are the risks worth the rewards?

This week, Mike McGuire goes over the show, as well as one of the most dangerous moments involving Tiffany Stratton. Plus, Oba Femi has called his shot against Roman Reigns.  When, and WHERE will it happen?  From guessing the event to guessing the location based on Global tensions, there are several important questions facing the world's biggest wrestling company.

Plus, The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer stops by to talk about the PLE, as well as break down AEW's upcoming "Clockwork Carnage", Deathmatch Legend "Necro Butcher" making his way into the WWE merchandise family, and a little discussion about the upcoming Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame.

Finally, Joe Aguinaldo is back to help us go through YOUR feedback with "YAY!/BOO!" and more!

It's WWE Money in the Bank day, and the gWo have their picks!

Do you agree with their choices, or do they have it all wrong?

Plus, what REAL LIFE situation warrants a MITB cash-in opportunity?

It's always a great time with the ACT - download and have a laugh before the PLE, or listen after to see if they got it right!

It was a heavy and emotional week for wrestling fans as we process recent losses.  The entire wrestling community shared stories and memories of fallen colleagues, and many came together to pay tribute.

In addition to the sudden passing of "Pac", Benjamin Satterley, the Canadian scene in particular is remembering Eddie Osbourne, a BC based wrestler whose reach went across our country.

Still, wrestling is a dreamland... an escape... and one mega star got the chance to prove that to all of us as Adam Copeland, aka Edge, returned to Toronto to wrestle at a building he grew up in awe of.  We talk about Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's "Northern Rising", and why this was such a special show.

Plus, Dave Meltzer is here from the Wrestling Observer to discuss the week's news, and Mike asks him about a story from nearly 30 years ago that Dave brought up - through a quote tweet - on X.

Finally, Joe Aguinaldo joins Mike as we go through the upcoming card for WWE's Money in The Bank - do you agree with their picks?

This week, Mitch Hontzias and Dimitri Korolis go over the past week in wrestling, including the tragic passing of AEW star, Pac.  The guys talk about the tributes that happened throughout the week, including the special edition of Dynamite and more.

Also, the build to WWE Money in the Bank is heating up, and the guys are actually... impressed!

Up for discussion in The Alternate Scenario: The BEST Heel turn of all time?  Hear what the guys think about Jaida Parker's surprise debut on the WWE Raw Roster, and how she went from rookie signing to major player in ONE episode!  Plus, hear their picks on who walks out of Money in the Bank as WWE World Champion and more!

We begin this week's edition of McGuire on Wrestling with a sad and tragic developing story.

Benjamin Satterley, known to wrestling fans around the world as both "The Man That Gravity Forgot, Neville", and as "The Bastard, PAC", was announced as passed away at the age of 40, less than 24 hours after he opened AEW's latest Pay Per View in a match against Andrade El Idolo.

Little details are known about his passing at this time.  For Mike, find out how Colt Cabana's "The Art of Wrestling" Podcast first made him familiar with the British star, and we have a brief overview of PAC's career throughout the decades.

We will follow up more on this devastating story next week.

The rest of this week's episode was produced before the news of PAC's passing.  This week, join Mike McGuire and The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer as they go through the week in news including:

- Finding value in the "Club WWE" Fan Subscription model

- Are Club WWE canvas squares legit?

- WWE's decision to air "Worlds Collide" on YouTube this Wednesday

- Evolve/WWE's relationship

- Do "sports-minded thinkers" understand how wrestling fans enjoy the show?

and more!
