Episode 82 is a two-man chaos shift as Wrestling Mark and Andy do what they “never” do and start with WWE, ripping into the Royal Rumble, the lifeless booking, and why so many ex-AEW names feel like they’ve been dropped into a punishment ritual instead of treated like stars. We talk Roman winning, the weird timing around Triple H criticism, and why it might finally feel like Dwayne Johnson is lining up a power move. Then we flip to AEW and get properly honest: not bad faith, not tribalism, just the reality that AEW set the bar so high that “good matches” alone doesn’t hit the same anymore. We break down the Death Riders hangover, rotating pushes, why some big moments have felt flatter than they should, and what AEW needs to do to get that “I have to stay up till 3am” feeling back. On the upside, there are real signs of life: the main event scene is stacked, Andrade feels reborn, Ricochet’s cooking , and we fantasy-book the most obvious (and most exciting) move possible: AJ Styles in AEW, with a proper run and a retirement done right. Also: hair vs hair predictions, women’s division frustration, and yes, White Castle catches strays again. 🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.

Are wrestling promotions having an identity crisis? In Episode 81 of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast, we break down TNA’s highly anticipated AMC debut and ask the uncomfortable question – what went wrong? We dig into creative decisions, presentation issues, and why fans came away frustrated despite wanting TNA to succeed. We also dive into AEW’s current direction, including heels vs faces, character consistency, and why Swerve Strickland could be the biggest heat magnet in wrestling if they play it right. Is a major turn coming, and does AEW know when to pull the trigger? Plus: AEW’s storytelling strengths and weak spots The future of Ring of Honor AJ Styles’ contract and what comes next Why women’s and tag team divisions still need better booking How wrestling can capitalise on momentum instead of killing it Smart takes, honest criticism, and proper pub-chat wrestling discourse. 🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.

It’s awards season, Groupchat style. Welcome to the 2025 Groupchat Wrestling Podcast Awards. We hand out awards for Men’s, Women’s and Tag Team Wrestler of the Year, debate Match of the Year, crown the best events and promotions of 2025, and highlight the performances, transformations, and moments that defined the year across AEW, WWE, and independent wrestling. From elite in-ring work and emotional highs to accidental comedy, baffling internet takes, and discourse that should’ve stayed in the drafts, nothing is safe. There’s love for indie wrestling, appreciation for genuine reinventions, shout-outs to the biggest pops of the year, and plenty of arguing over what worked, what didn’t, and why wrestling fans are Like That. We also take a moment to reflect on emotional milestones, legacies, and retirements, proving once again that wrestling can still hit you right in the feelings… even while the internet is losing its mind. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: YouTube: / @gwpodcastuk ​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.c...​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple...​ 🐦 Connect With Us: Twitter: / gwpodcastuk ​ Discord: / discord ​ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profi...​ 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist. 🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW​ #AEWDynamite​ #JohnCena​ #MercedesMone​ #aewworldsend #BritWres​ #WrestlingPodcast​ #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast​ #CTE​ #Camembert​ #AEWUKTour​ Hosted on Acast.

Episode 77 sees Brett and Lucy holding down the fort as they dive head-first into the festive madness of AEW. With Worlds End looming and the full card still taking shape, we break down what we do know – including the Women’s World Title clash between Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter, the Women’s Tag Titles featuring the Babes of Wrath, and the huge World Title four-way involving Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, Hangman Page, and MJF.

It’s December, everyone’s knackered, schedules are all over the place… so this is a quick, slightly chaotic episode before we head to AEW Dynamite tomorrow. Just Andy and Wrestling Mark this week, squeezed in between work, life, and wrestling plans, talking through what’s been a really strong week for AEW, the buzz around live crowds, and why things actually feel exciting heading into the end of the year. We also get into: Another WWE “new era” and why that phrase means less every time John Cena’s retirement and the flat execution around it The contrast between AEW momentum and WWE wheel-spinning It’s rushed, it’s raw, and it’s very much a December wrestling pod — recorded on the fly before Dynamite, with pints already on the brain. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9is Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539 🐦 Connect With Us: Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUK Discord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJM BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist. 🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #AEWDynamite #JohnCena #MercedesMone #MattHardy #BritWres #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast #CTE #Camembert #AEWUKTour Hosted on Acast.

This was a very late and very chaotic recording. Christmas is frying all our brains, everyone’s busy, half the crew vanished, and the rest of us sound drunk despite being completely sober. This is a short, unfiltered, spur-of-the-moment “we HAVE to get this done before Dynamite” — and it shows. In this deeply unhinged Episode 75, we somehow manage to cover: John Cena’s retirement and a full therapy session about his legacy AEW’s Continental Classic, upcoming UK shows & British wrestling greatness Mercedes, Red Velvet, Rio, and the state of the women’s divisions across the world Gatekeeping AEW fans, Nick Khan’s delusion, and Tony Khan’s Jaguars curse Why Mark is circling a car park with Camembert on his mind Why you could get banned from a nightclub because of a Figure Four And why none of us should be allowed microphones in December Despite the madness, we love doing this — and after this week we’ll get things back on track with more BritWres coverage, more AEW chat, more guests, and hopefully more sleep. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9is Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539 🐦 Connect With Us: Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUK Discord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJM BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist. 🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #AEWDynamite #JohnCena #MercedesMone #MattHardy #BritWres #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast #CTE #Camembert #AEWUKTour Hosted on Acast.

Turns out holding in a wee while uploading is terrible for cognitive function. Who knew? Brett, Andy, and Wrestling Mark are back for Episode 74 — right, tight, and (mostly) waffle-free. We break down: Continental Classic Round 2 — Darby dies again, Kevin Knight levels up, Fletcher shocks Okada, and we argue about Mox vs Claudio predictions. Women’s Tag Tournament — Timeless Toni & Mina vs The Mega Problems, plus why Willow & Harley might be the team. PAC vs Okada — TV match of the year incoming. TNA’s massive AMC TV deal — what it means, what it doesn’t, and why Leon Slater should be the guy. AEW storylines — Swerve/Hangman aren’t friends, Hook chat, Sammy chat, and football slowly destroying Andy live on air. Plus a quick listener question on 2026 surprise champions. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9is Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539 🐦 Connect With Us: Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUK Discord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJM BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist. 🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #FullGear #AEWFullGear #AEWPodcast #ContinentalClassic #HangmanPage #TonyKhan #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast #tna Hosted on Acast.

This week we dive deep into AEW Full Gear, breaking down the matches, moments, and all the chaos from the show. Andy has a proper moan about some of the long-running booking inconsistencies in AEW — from Hangman’s reign to missed timing on pushes — and why he personally hasn’t felt the same buzz since All In. We also get into the Continental Classic, how it’s shaping up, who we fancy to win the blocks, and why Claudio is somehow in every tournament ever booked. And as always, we finish by answering your questions, rambling into tangents, and probably upsetting at least one fanbase along the way. Grab a brew, stick it on in the gym, on a walk, in the car… and enjoy another week of wrestling talk with the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9is Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539 🐦 Connect With Us: Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUK Discord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJM BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Progress dives, and moments that should not exist. 🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #FullGear #AEWFullGear #AEWPodcast #ContinentalClassic #HangmanPage #TonyKhan #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast Hosted on Acast.

In Episode 72 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast, BaldBro, Andy, and Wrestling Mark break down everything heading into AEW Full Gear — predictions, wild speculation, and the usual chaos. It’s the most unofficially official Full Gear preview you will find anywhere. We dig into Blood & Guts, the state of women’s wrestling, and whether AEW might sneak in a women’s tag match on the card. The lads talk Kyle O’Reilly’s breakout performance, the latest on the Don Callis Family, and how Mercedes Moné continues to shape the entire industry. There’s also talk of TNA’s relationship with WWE, where the Young Bucks fit in AEW’s tag division right now, and a little fantasy booking around a possible Jay White return. Expect hot takes, questionable predictions, and some very real praise for women’s wrestling finally getting the spotlight. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9is Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539 🐦 Connect With Us: Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUK Discord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJM BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Progress dives, and moments that should not exist. 🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #FullGear #AEWFullGear #WrestlingPodcast #GroupChatWrestlingPodcast #AEWDynamite #AEWCollision #BloodAndGuts #WomensWrestling #MercedesMone #YoungBucks #KyleOReilly #DonCallisFamily #JayWhite #TNAWrestling #WWE #ProWrestling #IndieWrestling #WrestlingCommunity Hosted on Acast.

It’s spooky season in wrestling — and AEW’s giving us plenty to scream about! This week, we dive into Halloween’s most horrifying wrestling moments, from the infamous Texas Chainsaw Massacre match to some booking decisions that were just as terrifying. We talk AEW’s Blood and Guts, the women’s division’s next big opportunity, and the tag team tournament that could shake up the division. Plus: Should Blood have a mens match this year?? Who’s ready to step up — Eddie Kingston? Hook?
