The Groupchat Wrestling Podcast

AEW has a stacked roster, but are they making the most out of their talent?

On this episode of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast we answer some of your questions. We cover some of AEW’s biggest problems, and what needs to change to take the show to the next level (or re restore the feeling)

We debate the future of Toni Storm, whether AEW needs a Women’s Continental Classic, and why the women’s division has the talent to be even better than it is. We also discuss the Blood and Guts build, the Death Riders storyline, AEW’s world title picture, and whether the company is relying too heavily on banger matches at the expense of compelling stories. Tell us in the comments.

What is the ONE thing AEW you would change in AEW right now?

Episode 487(not really) of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast.

We sat out last week after the passing of Benjamin Satterley aka PAC - it didn't feel right to chat wrestling. This week we talk about why the show felt like perfection from start to finish, from Moxley holding everyone together to Hangman's emotional moment and Kenny Omega flying back from Japan, plus why the AI-image clickbait around it was so classless.

Then we switch to what's next: predictions, the Clockwork Carnage build to Wrestle Dream, The Acclaimed's future, Sheamus as a free agent, Swerve vs Hangman long-term, Ricochet as top heel, and a massive indie round-up with TNT, EVE, GPW, Atomic, Future Shock, Rev Pro, North, Discovery and more.

Jericho is back. The Death Riders are stale. And Orange Cassidy should NOT be world champion.

This week on The Groupchat Wrestling Podcast, we break down AEW Grand Slam — from Chris Jericho's shockingly good resurgence to why the Death Riders storyline desperately needs a spectacular implosion. We also dive into the heated debate over whether Orange Cassidy deserves a world title run, the state of the AEW women's division, tribalism in wrestling fandom, and why AEW's own high standards might be its biggest problem right now.

Episode 98 of the Group Chat Wrestling Podcast is here, and somehow AEW has created its own version of the FA Cup.

We break down the Continental Cup format, who should win it, why the tournament could have been so much bigger, and whether it already feels more exciting than SummerSlam.

We also preview AEW Grand Slam México, including Mercedes Moné versus Willow Nightingale, Moxley and the Death Riders, Hangman Page, Will Ospreay, the possibility of MJF returning, and a ridiculously stacked card.

Plus, SummerSlam’s good moments, bad matches and very ugly nonsense, Danhausen, money on a pole, Robocop being disrespected in Detroit, and why AEW should let indie wrestlers qualify for the Continental Cup properly.

AEW Redemption delivered some bangers — but was it a forced PPV hiding behind a few great matches?

This week, we break down the highs and lows of AEW Redemption: the "shit sandwich" pacing, the pointless stipulations, and why the Death Riders storyline has officially lost us.

The Group Chat Wrestling Podcast is finally back—and within minutes, we’re discussing CM Punk’s entirely natural straight-edge transformation, arguing over whether the Beatles or the Ramones are overrated, and responding calmly and maturely to our latest reviews.

We then get into the current state of AEW. Has consistently brilliant wrestling made brilliant matches feel less special? Are the stories missing the emotional stakes they had this time last year? Have the Death Riders completely lost their way, and is Jon Moxley helping Will Ospreay—or dragging him down?

We also preview and predict AEW Redemption, discuss the treatment of the women’s division, fantasy-book the road to All In, answer your questions and somehow find time to insult anime, Danhausen and Giant González.

Most importantly, we send all our love and support to Tanea “Rebel” Brooks. You can learn more about Rebel’s fight, support I AM ALS and make a donation here:

We chat about the first women’s Super Strong Style 16 tournament, bruises, merch mysteries, Cornish coat of arms translations, Luna Vachon inspiration, heel work, intergender wrestling, tag team chemistry, TNT, Progress, EVE, Nicolas Cage, and who would win in a Team Skye vs Team LA match....

Two brilliant wrestlers, one of the best tag teams in the UK, and an absolute joy from start to finish.

Just one week later and we’re back talking about MORE WWE cuts, reported pay reductions, The New Day potentially leaving, CM Punk jokes, TKO greed, indie wrestling realities, and why wrestling fans should maybe stop blaming the talent for corporate nonsense.

🔥 The New Day reportedly being done with WWE

🔥 Rumours of wrestlers being asked to take pay cuts

🔥 Why AEW can’t magically sign everybody

🔥 The brutal reality of indie wrestling finances

🔥 Why wrestling desperately needs a stronger third promotion

🔥 Leon Slater, GCW, Joey Janela & indie wrestling talk

🔥 CM Punk “50% pay cut” conspiracy jokes

🔥 Why TKO and billionaire culture are wrecking wrestling

Plus the usual chaos, rants, tangents and anti-Hulk Hogan agenda.

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.

Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift (and no sugarcoating).

We’re breaking down WrestleMania, AEW chaos, and the madness of indie week… properly.

Was WrestleMania actually good… or are people settling?

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.
