Shaz and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room for a follow-up to last week’s release discussion, this time reacting to the latest names quietly added to WWE.com’s alumni section.The big shock is the departure of The New Day members Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, alongside MFT members JC Mateo and Tonga Loa.But this episode isn’t really about the individual releases. Instead, the lads focus on the wider business direction of WWE under TKO Group Holdings, and what the company’s current approach means for professional wrestling as a whole.How sustainable is the system WWE now operates under? What happens when major stars are cycled out more aggressively? And what impact does all of this have on independent wrestling, where fewer promotions exist as genuine alternatives for released talent?A broader discussion about modern wrestling economics, talent development, and whether the industry is entering a very different era. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shane and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room to discuss the latest round of WWE releases — and there’s no shortage of talking points.The headline story is the full release of the Wyatt Sicks, with Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy), Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan and Dexter Lumis all gone. The lads try to make sense of how an entire faction can go from being positioned as something different to completely off the board.Beyond that, the list of departures raises even more questions. Names like Kairi Sane, Motor City Machine Guns, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, Santos Escobar, Zoey Stark and Alba Fyre are all discussed, with a focus on why so many talented performers never found consistent direction.A big part of the conversation centres on creative. Why does WWE struggle to find compelling stories for certain wrestlers? Is it a case of too many people, not enough time, or something deeper within the system?Aleister Black becomes a key talking point — after leaving AEW and returning to WWE, very little was done with him before his release. The lads look at how that situation unfolded and what it says about long-term planning.Join the discord - https://discord.gg/kcEXGbMmB Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shaz, Gherkins and Morro are live from the Gorilla Room with their review of Night Two of WrestleMania 42 — and this time, the mics are working properly.After the talking points coming out of Night One, the lads look at whether WWE addressed the criticism around ads, presentation and pacing, and how Night Two compared overall.They break down the full card, what worked, what didn’t, and how the show flowed from start to finish. The discussion builds to the main event, asking how CM Punk vs Roman Reigns stacked up against Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton from Night One.A straight, honest reaction to the biggest show of the year, and whether WWE delivered when it mattered most.

Shaz, Morro and the lads are live with their review of Night One of WrestleMania 42, giving their immediate thoughts straight from the Gorilla Room.They break down the biggest talking points from the show, including the heavy presence of ads and corporate sponsorship, and whether it’s starting to take away from the overall experience.

The OG three are back as Shaz, Gherkins and “The Draw” Johnny Morts sit down to discuss some of the worst reveals in wrestling history.Sparked by the recent reveal of Pat McAfee as the voice in Randy Orton’s ear ahead of his match with Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42, the lads dig into why certain moments that should feel huge end up falling flat.From Vince McMahon’s “It was me, Austin” reveal in the Attitude Era, to Hornswoggle being placed into major mystery angles, they run through the reveals that didn’t quite land the way they were meant to. And of course, the big question: would everything be improved if it just turned out to be Jake “The Snake” Roberts?Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for 24/7 wrestling chat and to suggest future topics:https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH Hosted on Acast.

“The Draw” Johnny Morts and El Hijo Del Morro sit down to break down the build to WrestleMania 42 — and it turns into a fairly honest airing of frustrations.From creative decisions to the increasing use of celebrities like IShowSpeed, Jelly Roll and others, the lads question the direction WWE is taking as it heads into its biggest show of the year. Are the stories connecting? Are the right matches being prioritised?They get into the major talking points, including CM Punk’s direction, Roman Reigns’ place on the card, and the much-discussed storyline involving Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. (Disclaimer: this was recorded before it was revealed the phone call involved Pat McAfee.)There’s also discussion around Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill, and whether their booking reflects their importance to the roster.It’s a critical, sometimes frustrated look at WWE heading into WrestleMania — or as it’s dubbed here, MoanaMania. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shane and Morro, The Old Bucks, take on one of the most fascinating “what if” scenarios in modern wrestling — what if Tony Khan had actually purchased WWE?Recent revelations showed that Khan was among the bidders for WWE before it was ultimately sold to Endeavor Group Holdings and merged into TKO Group Holdings. The lads break down just how different the wrestling landscape could have looked if that deal went another way.Would AEW and WWE have remained separate brands or merged into one super-promotion? How would TV deals, rosters, and creative direction have been handled? They also look at how WWE has changed under TKO, and whether Khan’s approach to wrestling would have produced a completely different product — for better or worse.A grounded but imaginative discussion about a scenario that could have reshaped the entire industry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shane and Morro are back in the Dungeon to dive into one of wrestling’s most recognisable traditions — the mask.From the rich history of Lucha Libre to modern WWE, the lads explore why masks carry so much meaning in wrestling and how they can define a character. They look at legendary figures like El Santo, La Parka and Rey Mysterio, and why masks are so central to Mexican wrestling culture.The conversation then shifts to WWE, with a look at Kane and how the mask became essential to his presentation, compared to others like Mick Foley and Vader where it served a different purpose.They also discuss Japanese icons such as Jushin Thunder Liger and Hayabusa, and how masks translate across different styles and audiences.Along the way, the lads get into the detail of how wearing a mask can actually affect in-ring performance — including whether it limits facial expression and selling, or forces wrestlers to adapt in different ways.Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord to suggest topics and take part in the debates:https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH Hosted on Acast.

Shane and Morro, The Old Bucks, are back in the Gorilla Room to look at one of the biggest influences on modern professional wrestling — mixed martial arts.Over the last three decades MMA has reshaped how wrestling presents fighting, from harder striking styles to shoot-inspired characters and submission-heavy matches. The lads discuss which wrestlers managed to blend MMA elements into their style successfully, and which attempts never quite clicked.Legitimate fighters crossing into wrestling also comes under the microscope. How well did names like Ronda Rousey and Ken Shamrock translate to the wrestling world?The conversation then goes deeper into the origins of MMA-influenced wrestling, examining how Karl Gotch helped shape the philosophy of Antonio Inoki, and how figures like Akira Maeda helped push the development of strong style in Japanese wrestling.Along the way the lads also touch on the strange contradictions of wrestling fandom — how many fans claim to miss the fun, over-the-top characters of the 1980s while also criticising anything that feels too goofy today.Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord to suggest topics and take part in the debates:https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH Hosted on Acast.

The Old Bucks are joined by Gherkins Dunphy from Shaz Beef’s Gorilla Room to take a look at some of the worst heel turns in professional wrestling history.A great heel turn can change the entire direction of a character, but when it goes wrong it can confuse fans, damage momentum, or simply make no sense at all. The lads dig into some of the most debated turns ever, including Stone Cold Steve Austin aligning with Vince McMahon at WrestleMania X-Seven, Rikishi revealing he “did it for the Rock,” and the recent heel turn of John Cena.Along the way the discussion moves across multiple eras and promotions including WCW, WWE, and AEW, as the lads debate what actually makes a heel turn work — and why some of wrestling’s biggest moments didn’t land the way they should have.Don’t forget to join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for more debates, topic suggestions and wrestling chat:https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH Hosted on Acast.

The Old Bucks are joined by Gherkins Dunphy for a milestone episode as The Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show hits its 100th podcast — and the lads mark it with a listener-suggested deep dive into one of the most debated eras in wrestling history.Prompted by Ger from our Discord server, this episode looks back at the wrestlers who made the jump from WCW to WWE following the takeover. From headline names like Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sting, Goldberg, Ric Flair and Scott Steiner, to cruiserweights and mid-card staples like Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero and Billy Kidman, the lads examine who benefited, who struggled, and why.There’s also discussion around the Invasion era, including Diamond Dallas Page and Booker T, how WWE presented former WCW stars, and whether the transition was ever handled fairly. One notable omission is Hugh Morrus — which, according to DDP logic, might not be a bad thing at all.A reflective, honest look at legacy, opportunity, and missed chances — and a fitting way to mark 100 episodes.Join the Discord and help shape future topics: https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH Hosted on Acast.

A slightly different episode this week as the podcast goes online for the first time — and it’s a special one.After referencing it countless times on the show, Shane finally sits down with Sean Herbert, the founder of The Wrestling Channel, to talk about how it came to be and why it still holds such a strong place in wrestling fans’ memories.Broadcast between December 2003 and December 2008, The Wrestling Channel was a free-to-air digital satellite station in the UK and Ireland, created with one clear mission: to be a dedicated home for professional wrestling. For many fans, it was the first time they had access to wrestling outside the WWE bubble.The channel introduced audiences to promotions they had never seen before, including CZW, TNA, ROH, FWA, IWW and more. It helped shape tastes, broaden horizons, and quietly influenced an entire generation of fans and wrestlers across the UK and Ireland.Sean talks candidly about the challenges of running a wrestling TV channel, the risks involved, why it ultimately ended after five years, and what its legacy looks like today. A must-listen for anyone who discovered independent wrestling through late-night channel surfing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On today’s All Elite Morro, I break down the explosive MJF and Hangman Adam Page promo from last night’s AEW Dynamite and analyse the massive implications heading into AEW Revolution.With the Texas Death Match now carrying the stipulation that Hangman Adam Page can never challenge for the AEW World Championship again if he loses, I examine what this means for his character arc, AEW’s long-term booking, and the future of the title picture. I also assess MJF’s positioning in the feud, the promo dynamics between the two, and whether AEW is setting up a defining career moment at Revolution.This episode delivers focused AEW analysis, storyline breakdowns, and in-depth wrestling discussion covering MJF, Hangman Page, AEW Dynamite, and the road to AEW Revolution.

The four-man booth returns as Shaz, Morro, Dunphy and Johnny Mortos take on a topic that quickly turns heated: who are the most influential European wrestlers of all time?After asking the listeners for their picks, the lads bring those suggestions into the studio and stack them up against their own choices. Predictably, not everyone agrees. Becky Lynch becomes a major flashpoint in the debate, with strong opinions on influence versus achievement.Ireland’s wrestling pedigree comes under the spotlight, with discussion around the impact made by Sheamus, Finn Bálor, Lyra Valkyria, Fit Finlay and JD McDonagh. The conversation then moves across mainland Europe, with legendary figures like André the Giant, Bruno Sammartino, Otto Wanz and George Hackenschmidt all getting their due.Influence, legacy, star power and historical importance are all weighed up, leading to plenty of disagreement and strong opinions.

Shaz and Morro are back as The Old Bucks for a listener-suggested episode, with today’s topic coming straight from Oisín McCarthy in the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord.The lads take on a deceptively difficult question: if someone had never watched wrestling before, what match would you show them first? Do you go straight for spectacle and shock with The Undertaker vs Mick Foley inside Hell in a Cell, or WrestleMania’s TLC 2? Is there still magic in larger-than-life moments like Hogan vs Warrior at WrestleMania VI? Or is the best entry point something more grounded, like Flair vs Steamboat from the 80s?They also ask whether a John Cena match works as an introduction, how much context matters, and whether modern wrestling makes it harder or easier to hook new fans. A deep, thoughtful discussion that says a lot about what different people value in wrestling.If you want to get involved in future topics and debates, join us over on the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for ongoing wrestling chat.

In this week’s first All Elite Morro short, I evaluate which members of the AEW and WWE rosters are best positioned for a potential swap to the other company. I look at contract timing, creative direction, roster needs, and momentum to predict which AEW stars could thrive in WWE and which WWE talents may benefit from a move to AEW.This focused breakdown explores how roster movement could reshape both companies and what these potential jumps would mean for the wrestlers involved and the wider wrestling landscape.

Shane and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room for their first proper review show in months, and as always, the Royal Rumble dragged them back in.This episode focuses on the Saudi Royal Rumble and how it stacks up as we head into WrestleMania season. Liv Morgan emerged victorious in the Women’s Royal Rumble, while Roman Reigns won the Men’s Rumble, setting the table for two very different roads to WrestleMania. The lads break down both matches, the booking decisions, and what the wins mean going forward.They also discuss Gunther defeating AJ Styles in a match that put AJ’s career on the line, as well as Drew McIntyre defending his title against Sami Zayn. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shane and Morro are live from the Gorilla Room for the return of the Insane Royal Rumble.Thirty wrestling names go into the pot, but this is not your normal Royal Rumble. Every draw brings complete unpredictability. If a name is pulled, they enter the Rumble. If that same name is drawn again, they’re eliminated — but the very next name decides their fate. Eliminated wrestlers are thrown straight back into the pot, ensuring maximum nonsense and zero logic.The stakes still matter though. Whoever survives the Insane Royal Rumble earns more than bragging rights. The winner will have their Road to WrestleMania booked, challenging a champion chosen by the lads. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the latest episode of All Elite Morro, I break down the ongoing AJ Styles retirement storyline and how it’s being shaped through his feud with Gunther. I take a detailed look at AJ Styles’ recent Saturday Night’s Main Event match with Shinsuke Nakamura, analysing how it fits into the wider retirement narrative and how the match compares and contrasts with their previous singles encounters.I also explore how AJ Styles quietly sowed the seeds for this storyline during his recent tag team title matches, including Dragon Lee vs Je’von Evans and Leon Slater, as well as the bout against The Usos. From in-ring storytelling to long-term narrative structure, this episode examines how WWE is crafting the final chapter of AJ Styles’ career.All Elite Morro delivers in-depth wrestling analysis covering WWE, AEW, and the broader wrestling world.

In the first of this week’s shorter All Elite Morro episodes, I take a deep look at the ongoing talent exodus in New Japan Pro Wrestling. I break down which NJPW stars are likely on the move, their potential landing spots across AEW, WWE, and elsewhere, and what these departures mean for the wider wrestling landscape.I also discuss how this shift opens the door for up and coming talent within New Japan, creating new opportunities and fresh matchups. To close, I assess how NJPW has started the year with Wrestle Kingdom 20, New Year’s Dash, and the Road to New Beginning tour, and what these shows signal for the company’s direction moving forward.All Elite Morro delivers focused wrestling analysis covering NJPW, AEW, WWE, and the global wrestling scene.

The original three are back together as Shaz, Dunphy and Morto sit down to discuss one of the most important yet overlooked parts of professional wrestling: entrance music.From the instantly recognisable themes of the past to the more generic sound of today, the lads break down what made wrestling entrance music special in the first place. Why did composers like Jim Johnston, Jimmy Hart and CFO$ create themes that became inseparable from the wrestlers themselves? And what’s missing from WWE’s current approach, particularly in the Def Rebel era?The discussion also looks at real bands who helped shape wrestling’s sound, including Motörhead, Limp Bizkit and others, and how licensed music helped elevate certain stars and moments. Of course, everyone brings their personal favourites to the table, leading to plenty of disagreement along the way.Like, subscribe, and let us know your favourite wrestling theme in the comments.

All Elite Morro returns from hiatus with a brand new episode and a refreshed direction. This week, the focus is on two major stories dominating the wrestling world. I break down the backstage cold war between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, exploring the real-life tension, creative power struggles, and what it could mean for WWE moving forward. I also analyse Will Hobbs leaving AEW to join WWE, discussing why the move happened, how AEW handled his run, and what his future could look like on a bigger stage.In-depth wrestling analysis, honest discussion, and long-form breakdowns of AEW and WWE stories are back as All Elite Morro enters its next chapter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shaz, Morro and Johnny “The Draw” Mortos sit down to break down one of the most important elements in professional wrestling: the finisher.What actually makes a great finishing move? Why did certain once-devastating finishers become nothing more than transitional moves? How do wrestlers protect a finisher in an era of kick-outs, false finishes and constant escalation?The lads dig into the psychology behind finishers, how styles and audiences have changed, and why some moves still feel special while others have completely lost their impact. Inevitably, the debate turns to the biggest question of all: what is the greatest wrestling finisher of all time? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shaz and Morro sit down for adiscussion on the state of championship titles in modern wrestling and whether they still carry the prestige they once did.With WWE, AEW and NJPW all featuring an ever-growing list of championships, the lads look at how title saturation has changed the way fans view gold. Are world titles still the ultimate prize, or have they been diluted? Does having multiple top titles help storytelling, or does it make wins feel less meaningful? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The four-man booth is back for the first podcast of the year as Shaz, Morro, Dunphy and Johnny Morts sit down to do what wrestling fans love most — try to predict WrestleMania 41.From possible Royal Rumble winners to where the biggest names on the roster might land, the lads break down every major question heading into Mania season. Will Cody Rhodes and CM Punk still be champions by the time WrestleMania rolls around, and who could realistically stand across the ring from them? Where do rising names like Stephanie Vaquer and Jade Cargill fit into the biggest show of the year?There’s also plenty of discussion around the secondary titles, with Carmelo Hayes and Dominik Mysterio holding gold, and whether those championships can develop stories worthy of the WrestleMania stage. The lads also look at the chances of the tag team titles finally getting meaningful space on the card, with teams like the Usos, Kabuki Warriors and Wyatt Sicks in the mix.Gunther’s role looms large as well — does his WrestleMania match change someone’s career forever? As always, there’s speculation, disagreement, overthinking, and probably far too much booking. It might be our favourite podcast we’ve ever done — and if not, it’s at least our favourite of the year so far. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the final episode of 2025, Shane and Morro sit down in Shane’s Gorilla Room, named after the late Gorilla Monsoon, to take stock of a year that didn’t go the way many expected.Some wrestlers entered 2025 with serious momentum and came out of it stalled, injured, or quietly drifting. From Bayley and Jacob Fatu to long injury layoffs affecting Chad Gable and Will Ospreay, the lads look at how quickly things can change in modern wrestling. They also dig into the bigger questions around CM Punk’s year, WWE’s creative direction, and whether NJPW ever really found its footing in 2025.It’s not just about who cooled off. Shane and Morro also look ahead, asking who might be perfectly placed for a strong return in 2026, and what actually turns a bad year around in wrestling.This episode closes out 2025 for the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show and marks hitting 3,000 subscribers.
