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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

🩸 Blood & Guts predictions — and what could change after it

🔥 The Death Riders’ next chapter and the rise of Gabe Kidd

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.

Plus:

Should Blood have a mens match this year??

Who’s ready to step up — Eddie Kingston? Hook?

And why AEW should use the UK crowds who bring the noise every time.

👻 From spooky nostalgia to serious booking breakdowns — it’s another chaotic, and passionate episode of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast!
