  • Episode 737: Mania & The Maniac
    Apr 15 2025

    It's the biggest week in wrestling and the Shining Wizards have you covered.

    The big reveal of Polaco Watch & It's what everyone expected but we get all the details from HK

    Matt watched NWA's 200th Episode of Powerrr and shares his thoughts as KJG attempted to watch but couldn't get into it.

    The boys are joined by Northeast Independent Wrestling Legend, "The Maniac" Glen Osbourne. Glen shares with us his insights on his career, the guys he worked with, the impact he had on the wrestling industry and his excitement heading into TWA One and Done & Rasslecon on May 3rd at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia

    Back from a quick break the boys jump into AEW. Dynamite and Collision had some great wrestling, but Matt is still hung up on the story telling. He has issues with the Learning Tree segment and the Hurt Syndicate segment, continues to harp on records and just wants the Death Riders to end. We also talk about running at Globe Life and why it's only set up for 18,000.

    Talk turns to the WWE and It's Wrestlemania week. The Build to Wrestlemania has left the boys feeling a little empty, but still excited. They run down the cards for each night, the Hall of Fame being at 1am Eastern, Jeff Cobb leaving NJPW, will John Cena capture 17 at Wrestlemania 41 & the Wrestlemania 9 Documentary that dropped last week

    It's time for homework, as the boys discuss the 2nd ever Meltzer 5 Star Match, Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask. The reactions are priceless. As it's 3 matches all rolled into one.

    Then Tony assigns us 2 pieces of homework, for a little compare and contrast. Be sure to watch them in the order he assigned them

    First is this match

    We wrap things up with some Dark Side of the Ring talk as we reflect on the man called Vader and if his career would have been different if not for Shawn Michaels.

    Maven sat down with PJ Polaco, so we have tons to talk about with Polaco Watch.

    Back from our break we are talking WWE, Wrestlemania 41, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Naomi, Monday Night Raw and much more. Its Mania season and we are jacked up

    We turn our attention to AEW, as they have Dynasty coming this weekend. Good week of TV, we discuss a variety of topics, from Mercedes Mone & Athena, to who turns in Rated FTR.

  • Episode 734: One and Done
    Mar 25 2025

    The Shining Wizards Return with a ton of wrestling talk and talk about wrestling

    We are down 2 men, and Matt is flustered with the videos, but once we get past that we are on to busting HK's chops about the homework he assigned us.

    One of the Wizards reset their clock, and looking at who was on the show tonight, it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

    We are joined by TWA Promoter Joel Goodhart to talk about the upcoming TWA One and Done & Rasslecon taking place May 3rd at the 2300 Arena. We talk about the TWA, gimmick matches, Tod Gordon, ECW, Tessa Blanchard and more. It's a fantastic interview and for any wrestling historian, it's important to know Joel Goodhart and the role he played in the wrestling business.

    Back from the break we have an update in the Death Pool. Then its onto the Road to Wrestlemania and WWE. We discuss the Women's Title Picture for Wrestlemania, John Cena's latest promo, the triple threat match between Punk/Rollins/Roman, and what Wrestlemania 41 looks like at the moment.

    Things get heated as we turn our attention to AEW and the Moxley/Spike spot. Was it a stupid spot? Should it have been on PPV? We touch on this, Megan Bayne, the 4 way & more

    We turn our attention to the WWE Hall of Fame, will Tony Khan let Sting be a part of Lex's induction? We argue about if the Natural Disasters are a Hall of Fame Tag Team. Another heated argument.

    We then turn our attention to Homework as HK dropped some indy Buck Zumhofe thing in our laps. We reflect & of course make fun of HK & Tony for this one.

    Then Brundo sends in a video in an attempt to right the homework ship & assigns us Samoa Joe vs Kenta Kobashi from October 2005

  • Episode 733: Salmon for Dinner
    Mar 18 2025

    A rare Monday where Monday Night Raw is over before our episode starts. We are joined by Kyle from The Apron Bump Podcast to talk about WWE Raw from Brussels. We talk about John Cena's 1st Promo since The Elimination Chamber, some of us love it, some of us hated it. We talk some Penta, the Tag Team scene, Rey Fenix, Raw from MSG, Wrestlemania & more.

    Back from break we do our Polaco watch & ponder if he will show up in Minnesota. We talk some AEW & get a run in from Magenta. Then we hit on this question from the discord, what is the bigger flop, WWECW or AEW-ROH.

    Then its onto our homework. Back to 1985, hair vs hair match from All Japan Women- Dump Matsumoto vs Chigusa Nagayo. The reactions are incredible & its a must see match.

    Then HK drops this on us for homework, its not a match but a Youtube documentary on Buck Zumhofe called Rock The Cradle.

  • Episode 732: Wet Dates
    Mar 11 2025

    While Matt chills at Monday Night Raw at the Garden, the other Wizards get together for another amazing episode!

    Discussion opens with a recap of AEW Revolution and ppv picks, where all the guys wind up with the same 10-2 record. This leads to HK and Tony leading the charge to a B&P title for the ladies.

    After a brief Polaco Watch where KJG reads Twitter comments, the guys are joined by Jimmy Jacobs to discuss his illustrious career and fruits.

    After a break the guys discuss the ongoings and title changes in WWE, including the Cody promo, the Naomi turn, the IYO Sky and LA Knight title changes, and some NXT/TNA crossover.

    Once again, women's wrestling leads the discussion as another all-women ppv is contemplated.

    The guys surprisingly discuss Turd Tongs and etiquette behind the curtain in wrestling, as well as working the ring crew.

    There's homework to discuss as Tony introduces Mr. T vs Kevin Sullivan from Superbrawl 1994. Finally, a video from Matt introduces his homework: Chigusa Nagayo vs. Dump Matsumoto in a Hair vs. Hair match from August 28, 1985.
