Welcome to Episode 9 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast! This week, Wrestling Mark leads the crew, with AEW Blog joining us as a special guest to dive into the absolute chaos of All Out 2024. We’re covering everything, from legendary matches to jaw-dropping betrayals.

We kick things off with Daniel Garcia’s massive win over MJF, sparking a wave of speculation about what this victory means for his future in AEW. Then we can’t stop raving about the phenomenal Will Ospreay vs. PAC match, which might just be one of the best of the year.

Next up, we break down the incredible women’s street fight—a brutal showdown that’s already being called one of the best women’s matches not only of the year but possibly of all time. Trust us, you won’t want to miss our take on this one.

And then, we dive into the final chaos: Bryan Danielson’s shocking betrayal at the hands of the Blackpool Combat Club, complete with a plastic bag in a horrifying attempted murder scene. We wrap up with Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page, where cinderblocks and needles turn the ring into a battlefield, making it another candidate for attempted murder #2 of the night.

Expect brutal match breakdowns, unfiltered rants, and a whole lot of laughs as we dissect AEW’s wildest weekend yet.

Welcome to Episode 8 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast! After the chaos of the last few weeks, we’re back on our regular schedule with a slightly shorter (but still packed) episode. Andy, Mike, Wrestling Mark, Brett, and Dan are here, with special guest Chris from the Heels4Lyfe Wrestling Podcast (#HEELS4LYFE: WRESTLING PODCAST - YouTube) joining the fray. Blake decided to take a break, but Dan’s return brings the heat.

We dive headfirst into the most talked-about topics in wrestling right now. Swerve Strickland’s massive contract extension has everyone buzzing—especially us, because we know he’s worth every damn penny. Then we rip into Jade Cargill’s disastrous WWE run. Has she lost her touch, or is she just going through the motions?

And of course, we couldn’t ignore the IWC drama—why the h*** are fans so obsessed with wrestlers' personal lives? We’re here to call out the b******t and remind everyone what wrestling is really about. With Chris from Heels4Lyfe adding his voice to the mix, this episode is anything but filtered.

We’re back to our normal length (ish), bringing you the same no-nonsense, brutally honest wrestling talk you love. Tune in, have a laugh, and get ready for some real talk. And as always, f*** Hulk Hogan and f*** Bully Ray.

Welcome to a no-holds-barred special edition of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast—Episode 6.5! This week, Dan steps in for Mike as the crew (Blake, Dave, Mark, and Andy) gets together to tear apart and predict the All In card just days before the big event.

With Tony Khan’s massive, overstuffed card, we dive into what could be the craziest weekend in AEW history. Is there a surprise gauntlet entrant? Will Sting actually crawl out of a coffin? And what about Hayter’s return—will it blow the roof? We’re breaking it all down with zero filter, too many c**ts and plenty of hot takes.

Expect spoilers, insane theories, and maybe a few rants about how Hayter’s return might just steal the damn show. Plus, that crazy Sting-in-the-coffin dream sequence we can’t get out of our heads—you won’t want to miss our thoughts on that!

And yes, this episode is dropping early because it’s a bonus! We’re hungover, just back from Cardiff, and absolutely buzzing for Sunday’s big event.

We kick things off by diving into the most bizarre news of the week: Eric Bischoff giving out mortgage advice! Is this the career change we all needed to see? The crew shares their thoughts on Bischoff’s new gig, with plenty of laughs along the way.

Next, we discuss Saraya’s scramble to secure a spot on the All In card and what it means for AEW’s women’s division. Who should step up? The debate gets heated as we discuss the potential challengers.

And then there’s an interesting viewer request involving Bully Ray that had us all in stitches. We deliver some brutal honesty in response to this one.

But the highlight of the show? Wrestling Mark wins the day with his take on what really puts him off WWE these days.

Tune in for all this and more, including a few surprise rants, some wild predictions, and the kind of chaos that only the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast can deliver.

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast! This week, Mike, Blake, Andy, Dave, Brett, and Wrestling Mark are joined by special guest James for some heated debates and no punches pulled.

We kick things off by diving deep into the current hate MJF has been receiving and why Brett thinks it's completely unjustified. Wrestling Mark joins us fresh from watching MJF piss everyone off at RevPro, and he’s got some spicy takes to share!

From there, we get into Jade Cargill's WWE journey—has she regressed, or is it all part of a bigger plan? We also tackle the never-ending tag team vortex in AEW and what needs to change to keep things fresh.

Plus, our newest segment, the "Soapbox Rant," makes its debut with some fiery takes on Twitter toxicity and why wrestling fans need to lighten up.

Next, we dive into some electrifying match discussions, including predictions for upcoming events and some wild dream matches. Will Swerve finally embrace his inner villain? And what’s the deal with Hangman's surprise disappearance?

The team also tackles a spicy question from a listener: who should leave WWE but not go to AEW? The answers get heated as we explore destinations like New Japan and TNA.

And let's not forget the rants and tangents. From the hilarious discussion about Woo Energy (which Andy still thinks is a money laundering scam) to the unexpected badassery of Ethan Page, we cover it all with brutal honesty.

Welcome to episode two of The Groupchat Wrestling Podcast! This week, hosts Mike, Dan, Dave, Andy, Brett, and Wrestling Mark dive into a chaotic Q&A session, tackling your burning questions about the world of wrestling. Why do fans get so worked up over the number of title belts? Should AEW introduce more women's titles? And what the hell is a "flippy sh*t title"? We debate it all with our usual blend of humor and brutal honesty.

Get ready for unfiltered takes on AEW’s tag division, wild fantasy bookings, and our thoughts on the latest wrestling storylines. From discussing the best and worst moments in Dynamite history to arguing why MJF might just be the most over wrestler of our time, we leave no stone unturned. No essays today, just raw, unfiltered talk. Andy wishes Ric Flair would just f*ck off, and we debate why Kurt Angle never deserved a 5-star rating.

This episode is packed with raw, uncensored wrestling talk. We tear apart wrestling storylines, dissect epic matches, and speculate on the next shocking heel turn. From Ric Flair's never-ending 'retirement' saga to AEW's most explosive feuds, we cover it all with brutal honesty and a twisted sense of humor.

It’s Episode 10 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast! Mike, Andy, Brett, and Wrestling Mark are back with their usual mix of wild rants, wrestling predictions, and plenty of swearing. This time, we dive into our WrestleDream predictions and ask the big question—where is Mox’s Blackpool Combat Club headed? With Dynamite reactions running high, we break down the overreactions and give our hot takes on what’s really going on in AEW.

But the stars of the show? The Outrunners—over as f***, cruising through AEW like 80s action heroes on jet skis. As we like to say, “Get to the JetSki!” because these guys are ready to take over with speed, power, and a ton of charisma.

As usual, we veer off into some epic tangents, dropped a ton of F-bombs, and had a lot of laughs.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 11 is live! This week, Mike, Andy, Dan, and the returning Dav are joined by special guests @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash from the @WafflyBollox crew. We had a blast going off on tangents (as usual), but let’s be honest, we wouldn’t have it any other way!

We kicked things off talking about the Outrunners, still the fresh air AEW needs, and then went down a bunch of wild roads. From our Grand Slam predictions (happening this Wednesday!) to Jeff Jarrett's legendary status, and the rise of Jericho Derangement Syndrome (JDS), we’ve covered all the bases.

We also dug into the Hangman vs. Swerve feud—what a showdown! But we’re hoping this rivalry takes a breather for a while. And yes, we couldn’t help but speculate on what Prince Nana can do to crank up that heel heat (maybe throw coffee in a kid’s face?!). And, of course, we’re pumped for Rev Pro Global Wars.

Packed with random tangents, unfiltered takes, and plenty of laughs. Big thanks to @DanuelKC for the editing magic—Episode 11 is ready for you now!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s Episode 12 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast! This week, Dan, Andy, Mike are joined by the long-awaited returns of Wrestling Mark and Dav, who’ve both been MIA but are back and ready to dive into the chaos.

We kick things off by discussing Ray Fenix’s contract situation—what does this mean for AEW moving forward? Then we break down Dynamite’s 5th Anniversary show, calling out a few folks who deserve it along the way.

With WrestleDream less than two weeks away and only one match announced, we’re left wondering what’s going on. And of course, we plead with Tony Khan to strap the Outrunners already, because let's be honest, Timecop is the best movie of all time, and these guys need the gold.

Although Brett couldn’t join us live, he sent in a special interview segment with @shannahill07, where she sheds some insider light on the AEW contract drama.

Packed with the usual tangents, Episode 12 is one you won’t want to miss!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s Episode 14 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast, and this week, it’s Andy (@andyricflair), Wrestling Mark (@WrestlingMark16), and Dan (@DanuelKC) unravelling the madness that is the past week of AEW.

First, we dive into AEW’s new TV deal and what it means for the future, but soon after, things get messy. Midweek booking decisions have been as random as a Memento re-run, with stories that just expect us to forget what happened last week. Then there’s mortgage advisor elder abuse—yes, you read that right—and how it all somehow ties into wrestling’s weird week.

But don’t worry, we find hope in WrestleDream, where nearly every match has Match of the Year potential, despite the nonsensical build-up. And of course, we can’t forget Andy continuing to sprinkle Outrunners quotes throughout the show, as we are still pushing for that long-overdue tag title run for @TruthMagnum and @turbofloyd_. Tony’s got to be catching on... eventually, right?

If you enjoy our ramblings, come join us in the Discord to chat wrestling and hang out.

Episode 15 is here, and Andy, Wrestling Mark, Dan, Brett, and Mike are back to break down the wild ride that was WrestleDream! 🤼‍♂️

Not a bad match in sight, and honestly, we can forgive the storyline fumbles for a week. Is this AEW’s restart? Or just a blip before more chaos? We dive into Bryan Danielson’s future—is this the end of his run, or are we just getting worked again?

We also rave about the 23-star(come on, Dave must have loved it) 3-way match between Will Ospreay, Takeshita, and Ricochet, a classic we’ll be talking about for a long time. Oh, and what’s the deal with Moxley’s new group? We’re all wondering who’s behind it... and no, it’s not Konnan.

Join us for the usual rants, breakdowns, and wrestling banter. 🎙️

With his Columbo coat on, Andy has pieced together all the evidence to exclusively reveal who’s really behind the chaos caused by Jon Moxley’s new group. We break down what could happen over the next 12 months—who might turn, who should turn, and who will step up to challenge the madness.

We also dive deep into the Rev Pro Global Wars event, future AEW storylines, and answer some listener questions that led to great discussions. Expect the usual rants and tangents! 🎙️

This week, we break down PROGRESS Wrestling’s Werewolves of London show! Dan was there live at the Electric Ballroom, and the rest of us caught it on stream, so we’ve got a full review. Freddy from Elm Street was spotted in the crowd (yes, really), and Simon Miller made sure to bring his usual ups and downs energy.

Plus, the usual Groupchat rambling, including a deep dive into wrestling “what ifs.” Ever wondered what would’ve happened if Repo Man took Hogan’s spot in the nWo?

We also discuss our hopes for a potential ROH TV deal, tackle listener questions, and, of course, go off on our usual tangents. Tune in for laughs, insights, and plenty of wrestling talk!

In Episode 25, Andy, Brett, Mike (and Wrestling Mark halfway through) are in a festive mood, rambling all over the place in what was supposed to be a quick thank-you episode. Instead, we ended up:

• Talking about how good ROH and Collision were this week
• Digging into random bits of wrestling randomness
• Doing some Arquette investigation updates
• Wrapping up with thoughts on The World’s End

Also, how ironic is it that our 25th episode drops on the 25th of December? (At least in some countries!)

We love every single one of you who’s listened to us ramble about wrestling. Seriously, you’re the best gift we could have asked for. Have the best Christmas (or holiday you celebrate), and thank you for letting us talk shite about something we all love.

In Episode 24, Andy, Brett, Mike, and Wrestling Mark are back for a chaotic chat covering AEW and the IWC’s usual identity crisis—do they even know what they want? Wrestling Mark has something to get off his chest, we dig into the idea of a GCW invasion, and debate which wrestlers should hold every title in 2025 (spoiler: it’s the Outrunners).

Oh, and Brett tries to send us all to sleep with an in-depth dive into Saturday Night’s Main Event. A bit random, very fun—listen now!

We break down the fantastic TNT weekend—hard-hitting action, Glenn Jacobs digs, and all-around chaos. Then, to top it off, we’re thrilled to welcome our first-ever guest: The Futurist Leon Cage! At just 17, Leon’s already making waves across the wrestling scene, and he’s still not even old enough to grab a pint.

From a Match of the Year contender (you know who) to The Outrunners taking us back to the 80s with their full PPV debut, Max Caster’s standout performance, and Moxley seemingly fearing Hangman, this episode has it all(but we would say that...).

But where were all the heel turns we wanted? And seriously—what the hell happened at the end?!

This week, we bring you a special midweek bonus episode! Mike, Dan, and our guest James (who was actually at Progress 173) dive into all the action from the show, sharing their thoughts, highlights, and plenty of questionable opinions. Meanwhile, Andy was busy being a responsible adult (boo, real life), but he couldn’t resist jumping on to give a 15-minute rave about Burning Heart Pro Wrestling. Spoiler alert: he’s utterly impressed and may or may not be ready to buy their merch in bulk.

We also touch on Riot Cabaret for a quick chat, because why not?

Don’t worry, we’ll be back in full force next week with the whole crew (and maybe some surprise guests) for a stacked Full Gear review. So, grab a brew, hit play, and let’s talk wrestling!

✅ Hype for next week when we FINALLY show our faces on video!

We dive into:

✅ The matches we loved!

✅ Where does everyone go from here?

• Does Jamie Hayter return to challenge Toni Storm?
• Are we building toward Hangman vs. Swerve at All In? (Sorry, Andy.)
• Is Toni vs. Mariah the best feud of all time?
• Did we just see the greatest cage match ever?
• Was the cash-in actually the perfect ending?

Another fun, passionate, and slightly unhinged episode as we celebrate an incredible night of wrestling! 🍻

This week, Andy, Brett, Mike, Dan & Lucy dive into:

✅ TNT Extreme Wrestling – DOA & Level Up

Andy, Mike & Lucy were there live, and it was chaos in the best way—light tubes, doors, pineapples and ironing boards (yep), and some genuinely great wrestling.

✅ PROGRESS 178

Dan was repping the crew and gives us the lowdown on some brilliant in-ring work, a loud crowd, and (of course) Tate Mayfairs doing Tate Mayfairs things.

✅ AEW Dynasty Preview & Fantasy Booking

We throw out wild predictions for the Owen tournament, guess who’s taking what belts, and build some unhinged fantasy cards like only we can.

✅ Plus some listener questions, because we love ya.

It finally happened… we're on video. 😬

If you're watching on YouTube, yes, those are our actual faces—no filters, no holograms, just five wrestling-obsessed idiots trying to hold it together.

Kanji cooked, WWE combusted, and Tony’s still booking like a madman.

This week, Andy, Mike, Dan & Mark return from a wild week of wrestling and try to make sense of it all. We were live at RevPro High Stakes, and WrestleMania gave us… well, a lot to talk about.

✅ RevPro Roundup – Mercedes vs. Kanji was genuinely special

✅ WrestleMania – Good matches, weird moments, and even weirder backstage politics

✅ Bayley Watch – Is she staying? Going? Retiring to a cat café?

✅ Dwayne’s Political Adventure – The Rock is cooking something, but it smells like a Senate run

✅ AEW’s Identity Crisis – Can it break through the noise or is the IWC too loud?

✅ Indie Gold – Joey Janela, Deathmatch Weekend, and the Federales are everywhere

✅ Dynamite Preview – A stacked card and maybe a Death Riders refresh

✅ Listener questions – As always, the best bit of the show (after the tangents)

From fantasy booking to furious rants, it’s another chaotic trip through the world of wrestling—from the indies to the illuminati.

This week, Andy, Brett, Lucy, and a zombified Wrestling Mark) dive into:

✅ 289 Weeks with Tony Khan

AEW officially breaks WCW Nitro’s run—289 episodes of Dynamite. We look back at how far AEW’s come and what this milestone really means.

✅ WWE’s PR Disasterclass

It’s WrestleMania week, and the WWE PR machine somehow manages to make it worse by the day. Cena? You didn’t have to say anything, mate. Just sit this one out.

✅ The Collective Week

A quick glance at some of the indie offerings, even if the vibe isn’t quite what it used to be.

✅ RevPro in Doncaster Incoming!

We’re all (minus our American) heading to Doncaster to see the UK indie GOATs and catch Mercedes Moné in action. We’re buzzing.

✅ Usual Chaotic Rambling

As always—plenty of nonsense, unfiltered wrestling takes, and arguments over things that probably don’t matter.

This week, Andy, Wrestling Mark (he’s back!), Brett & Lucy dive into:

✅ AEW Dynasty 2025

We break down one of the most divisive AEW PPVs in a long time—what we loved, what we didn't, and why some fans are just never happy.

✅ Swerve’s Barbie Dream House

From break-ins to Barbie Dream House rebuilds—this rivalry has layers, and we’re all in.

✅ Darby: A Full Investigation

Is he really the plan for All In? We dive into the evidence (or lack of it) and the IWC's obsession with that one Alvarez quote.

✅ Judy Bagwell, Ralphus & Terry Nutkins?!

Yes, we fantasy booked the impossible and then somehow got side-tracked by Terry Nutkins. Don’t ask.

It’s another unhinged and passionate episode as we argue, laugh, and try not to shout over each other (too much).

In this episode of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast, the crew dives into AEW’s Double or Nothing 2025 — and the biggest match of the night: Hangman Page vs. Will Ospreay. Is it finally Hangman’s redemption arc, or does Ospreay make a statement on his first AEW PPV as a top guy?

We also break down the rest of the card, plus some WWE chatter, indie wrestling insights, and plenty more:

🔥 Hangman vs. Ospreay — the emotional stakes, the storytelling, the unpredictability.

🎲 Betting talk and wild predictions (this is definitely free money, right?)

🛑 MJF’s mic work, character development, and what’s next for AEW’s most complex star.

🏆 Jamie Hayter vs. Mercedes Moné — the dream match we need.

🎀 The AEW Women’s Tag Division — new belts, new era?

🩼 Eddie Kingston’s return and the state of AEW's midcard titles.

⚔️ Tag team chaos, Blood & Guts build-up, and fantasy booking Ibushi.

It’s our Double or Nothing preview — loud opinions, chaos, predictions, and maybe a little logic sprinkled in.

In what might be our favourite episode so far, we’re joined by the one and only Kidd Bandit for a wild, honest, and totally off-the-rails ride through the worlds of wrestling, gaming, and everything in between.

From underappreciated games to underrated wrestlers, this one’s packed.

🔥 Episode Highlights:

• Why Starfield is the most underrated game since Red Dead 2
• The deathmatch keyblade that might’ve actually saved a life
• Wrestling while drunk in Newcastle (we’ve all been there)
• The pressure of early success and wrestling under the spotlight
• The importance of representation across men’s, women’s, and intergender wrestling
• QT Marshall: an underrated genius?
• Kidd Bandit’s dream matches, anime convention chaos, and upcoming events
• The deep link between storytelling in wrestling and gaming

This one hits deep, goes off the rails, and loops back again.

If you're into wrestling, gaming, anime, or just passionate, creative people chasing dreams — this is your episode.

In this episode of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast, the crew relives the madness of Progress Super Strong Style 16 — the highlights, the heartbreak, and the hilarity.

We dive into everything from indie chaos at Comic Con to the most intense moments from SSS16:

The incredible energy and atmosphere of Super Strong Style 16

We all love Simon Miller

Women’s wrestling in the UK — rising quality, future tournaments, and much-needed representation

The state of intergender wrestling and its reception among fans

Max Caster’s evolution, Daniel Garcia, and the AEW title landscape

Shelton Benjamin hates Hulk Hogan — and honestly, same

The future of women’s tag titles and where WWE goes from here

Listener questions, fantasy matchups, and the eternal shout: “Fuck Hulk Hogan and fuck Konnan!”

And yes — we’ve now received our first cease and desist… from Konnan. We wear it like a badge of honour. 🎖️

We also reflect on the power of live wrestling, the community around it, and how British wrestling can win back global buzz.
