We break down the latest round of cuts, who we think lands where, and which names could actually come out BETTER from this. Because let’s be honest… sometimes getting released is the best thing that can happen.

We get into:

The full WWE releases and our honest reactions

Who could thrive on the indies, AEW, TNA or Japan

Why some names might be DONE at the top level

The grim reality of contracts, job losses, and fan reactions

Who we’d sign if we were running AEW right now

Plus:

The Wyatt 6 situation and WWE’s “legacy” efforts

Malakai Black debate (and why not everyone wants him back 👀)

Kairi Sane… HOW do you let her go?!

Motor City Machine Guns, Apollo Crews & more

Who actually wins after leaving WWE (no Cardona allowed 😅)

And as always… tangents, chaos, and probably a few opinions people won’t like.

WrestleMania week… and we (well, WrestlingMark) have got A LOT to say.

From a soulless two-night spectacle (yeah, we said it) to the absolute chaos and magic of the indie scene, Episode 90 is a mixed bag of ranting, praising, and maybe a bit of hope for wrestling’s future.

In this episode:

Our brutally honest WrestleMania review (was it really that bad?)

Why the main event saved something… but not enough

The indie scene stealing the entire weekend (GCW, indie matches, and vibes)

Darby Allin as champion… are we buying it?

AEW’s direction heading into Double or Nothing

The women’s division… still doing our heads in

Random madness, conspiracy energy, and the usual nonsense

Look… we LOVE wrestling. But that doesn’t mean we won’t call it out when it’s shite.

If you’re tired of the same safe takes and want something a bit more honest, this is the one.

Episode 89 is here and we break down AEW Dynasty in full, from the absolute madness of the tag matches to the fallout heading into Dynamite… and yeah, we get stuck into that main event situation.

We talk Young Bucks doing Young Bucks things (again), Takeshita and Okada finally moving, Jericho somehow turning back the clock, and whether AEW are actually pulling the trigger on some big changes… or just teasing us again.

There’s debate, there’s shouting, there’s conspiracy theories (of course), and there’s a LOT of strong opinions on where things are heading next.

We also go off on one about TNA, booking decisions, and why wrestling fans can’t agree on anything ever.

ATTACK! 15th Anniversary Review | The "EC-Drew" Entrance & A Historic Main Event | EP88

Andy is finally back from Cardiff (after a 5-hour trek that somehow takes longer than getting to Manchester) and we’re diving into the absolute madness that was the ATTACK! 15th Anniversary show.

600 people crammed into the venue, "Sex Bomb" medleys for Paul London, and a main event that genuinely felt like a massive deal for the UK scene. We’re breaking it all down, from the matches that exceeded expectations to the "goofy wrestling" moments that make ATTACK! what it is.

What we’re talking about:

The Main Event: Dani Luna and Kanji proving they aren’t just the best "women" wrestlers, but two of the best in the world, full stop.

The "EC-Drew" Entrance.

The Return of Eddie Dennis: A massive pop in the middle of the Mark Andrews vs Josh Holly "Courtroom Brawl."

That Head Bump: Tommy Vril vs Kara Noir was a "ballet of violence" but had us genuinely worried for a second.

The Weird & Wonderful Rumble: Including Leon Cage, Sexy E... Matt Gatlin, Simon Miller’s surprise, CAW, the the Love-Making Demon , and more.

Title Changes: New Tag Champs, a 24/7 shocker, and the crowning of a new World Champion.

If you weren’t in that room, you missed a celebration. If you were, let’s relive the chaos.

💬 Let us know in the comments:

Was the trek to Cardiff worth it? What was your match of the night? And how loud was it actually in that venue?

AEW is still the best wrestling show going… but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

This week it’s just Andy & Wrestling Mark — no filters, just guys lads calling it how it is.

We get into:

The big Wembley question: Omega or MJF vs Ospreay?

Why the women’s division feels off again

The Death Riders / Callis vortex finally ending (we think…)

Takeshita, Okada, and wasted momentum

What AEW NEEDS to fix heading into All In

And a few slightly unhinged ideas along the way…

This isn’t hate — it’s because we care. When AEW hits, nothing touches it.

💬 Let us know in the comments:

How would YOU fix AEW right now? And who should face Ospreay at Wembley?

Young Bucks vs FTR continuing one of the best rivalries in wrestling

Jon Moxley vs Takeshita and the ongoing chaos around it

Episode 85 of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast!

This week the group are back to break down AEW Revolution 2026 in what can only be described as the official unofficial review of the show.

We dive into everything that happened on the card, including:

MJF vs Hangman Page and what it means for AEW’s world title picture

Takeshita vs Jon Moxley and the ongoing chaos around the Death Riders vortex

Thkla vs Statlander in a brutal best 2 out of 3 falls match

FTR vs The Young Bucks continuing one of the greatest tag rivalries ever

Andrade vs Bandido delivering the kind of wrestling we all love

The Casino Battle Royale and the usual madness that comes with it

Along the way the conversation goes completely off the rails as we also discuss:

Potential returns, debuts, and wild conspiracy theories

Why Andy may have finally lost his mind over The Opps and the Deathriders

The Outrunners agenda (always)

Lucy’s prediction record somehow getting even worse

And why wrestling fans can’t behave themselves on the internet

As always, this isn’t a polished analysis show — it’s wrestling chat the way it should be: like a bunch of mates in the pub arguing about wrestling.

We are BACK.

After releasing at least one episode every single week since day one, we’ve finally had our first unintended break… two whole weeks.

Life happened. But we’re back in the saddle.

And what a week to return.

This episode we dive headfirst into:

🔥 Swerve Strickland’s full heel turn – necessary? Perfect? Is Nana in danger?

🔥 The Death Riders / Callis vortex – who’s actually coming out better?

🔥 Wheeler Yuta discourse (yes… somehow we did 15 minutes on Yuta).

🔥 Andrade being on absolute FIRE – push him to the moon or risk cooling him off?

🔥 Tekla, Mercedes, Toni, Willow and the absolute madness of the women’s division.

🔥 Bucks vs FTR AGAIN (and why that’s not a bad thing).

🔥 Revolution card predictions.

🔥 The mystery box… Danhausen? Joe Hendry? The Rock? The Gobbledygooker?

Somewhere along the way:

🧈 WWE became a metaphor involving overpriced supermarket butter.

🧈 Hook’s leadership credentials were questioned aggressively.

🧈 Things got heated… because we actually care.

AEW feels alive.

WWE feels… expensive and spreadable.

And we’re arguing because wrestling is supposed to make you feel something.
