A trip around the wrestling world with Over the Top leads us to some WWE talk. The Rock was in the news all week, so we talk about his surprise appearance on Smackdown, do we want to see him vs Roman at Wrestlemania 40 & more.

We discuss several other surprises and returns, along with if Matt Riddle is a bust or not after his latest issues outside of the ring.

This episode takes you back to the days of the Shining Wizards Network Radio Station WSWN 89.6 FM NEW YORK

We go back to the September 11th, 1995 episode where BaBaBowman, Kute Kevin, Brenda & BEEF cover a variety of topics from the week that was pro wrestling.

The debut episode of WCW Monday Nitro is in the books, we had a huge surprise as Lex Luger showed up & inserted himself into a feud with Hulk Hogan. We discuss why Luger would wanna leave WWF for WCW, and the prospects of him vs the Hulkster

We roll out Gimmie the Beef and go over results from the world of wrestling from September 4th to the 10th

We talk some more Nitro, some SummerSlam, if there are 2 Ultimate Warrior's, Pastamania, Dean Douglas, In Your House 3 & much more.

Tony and HK kick off the show reconting Labor Day weekend while KJG deals with some browser issues.

After Over the Top KJG joins the show and the discussion turns to CM Punk's release and Jack Perry's suspension. The guys bring stories they heard about the situation and discuss what they know.

Talk then turns to the parting of ways between AEW and Sonny Kiss, as well as some thoughts on some old school AWF and Global. There were two PPVs to cover from the past weekend: AEW All Out and WWE Payback. The results from picks show a new leader going into September, and the guys discuss some unexpected outcomes on both shows.

HK brings up how the AWF Television title was in a vehicle that was stolen, and the belt wound up on Facebook Marketplace hours later. He then blows our minds by bringing up a match where the Beverly Brothers worked as faces against Money Inc in 1993.

Some talk about Alex Reynolds and John Silver, as well as the rest of the Dark Order, leads to possible ways to bring this tag team back to television.

This leads to some pics of wrestlers over the years wearing Shining Wizards shirts.All this and more!

For the 1st time ever, all 4 Wizards are all together to do a show in person. HK is in from Minnesota for Matt's BBQ & doing a show together. The boys catch up, talk about the BBQ and argue about if chips are an appetizer or a side.

We hit on some Over the Top and are very surprised with the result of NWA 75, as a variety of titles have changed hands, and Tony is super excited about Kenzie Paige.

No Format August Continues on this run away episode of the Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast

The boys catch up, Tony has COVID, Matt can't read texts and the Kevin's are enjoying life to the fullest.

We waste not time getting right into the world of wrestling, as we land in AEW & Tony hates that every single feud seems to be about people being friends, and then having them turn on each other. Its a pretty interesting take and a lot of laughs.

Speaking of laughs, NWA 75 is this weekend, so they run down the card & answer the age old question, are we really picking this?

It's then time for Over the Top, as its HK vs T Donk, each man prepared 6 facts, you tell us which ones are the best

Big news of the week is Edge finishing up in the WWE, we speculate if he will go to AEW, or if his post match promo stays true. Would you like to see Edge in AEW? Would it hurt his legacy?

Lacy Evans is covered as well, and that somehow gets us to the Tammy Sytch news. It's heartbreaking as Tammy has been nothing but nice to us, but we can't help but have some fun with this, even pulling up the audio from her leaked Onlyfans

We take a little break before coming back with some Monster Factory on Apple TV talk, as Tony caught the series, and with the news of Wrestlers being on Netflix in September it was only right to cover the topic

Wrestlemania 40 is breaking all kinds of records, and we speculate why, is it cause Roman will lose? Is the Rock Involved? What is up with Rikishi?

Matt talks about going down the rabbit hole and watching a lot of Terry Gordy, he just say's it without thinking of the consequences

We rave about the WWE product overall, talk about Super Mario & Spellbinder from USWA, play the wrong song to wrap up the show and have a ton of laughs.

We picked a PPV this weekend, so we briefly cover the results, the PPV Picks standings and the happenings in Impact. Matt can't talk highly enough about AEW Collision and the Tag Team Match from Saturday Night, but he does and quickly

It's then time for Can You Beat That as Mike Peterson defends the title against Christian Rocco, a man who never lost the title. This is an epic battle, did Christian Rocco recapture what was rightfully his, or did Mike's reign of terror continue.

There is a PPV this Friday Night, and we know 3 matches. It's Ring of Honor and what will no doubt be a decent show, Matt is still annoyed with the lack of story telling, and the 4 men they used in the ROH TV Tournament.
