Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show

Shaz and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room discussing consistency in professional wrestling, and what happens when a company asks fans to believe in a world that doesn't seem to follow its own rules.

From the Gunther and Danhausen segment on WWE SmackDown to Tommaso Ciampa pinning Andrade's sentient pants in AEW, the lads debate whether wrestling can become too ridiculous.

Wrestling has always been a variety show. It can be serious, hilarious, dramatic and completely absurd. But when a segment breaks your suspension of disbelief, does it damage the wider story...

haz and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room asking one big question: who is each wrestling legend's greatest rival?

Not just the best feud. Not necessarily their most famous match. We're talking about the wrestling soulmates whose careers are forever linked together.

Is Mick Foley the rival who defines Triple H, or is The Rock more important to Foley's legacy? Is Stone Cold Steve Austin the defining rival of The Rock? Who belongs beside John Cena, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker and Roman Reigns?

fter LA Knight's loss to Roman Reigns at WWE Money in the Bank, Shaz, Morro and The Beast head to the Gorilla Room to discuss one of wrestling's biggest frustrations: when companies fail to capitalise on a wrestler getting over with the fans.

Wrestling fans will put up with a lot, but when a wrestler gets a huge reaction and the promotion refuses to pull the trigger, patience eventually runs out. From Stone Cold Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam to Monty Brown and LA Knight, the lads look at the missed opportunities, questionable booking decisions...

Shaz, Morro and The Beast are in the Gorilla Room discussing the wrestlers who just never seemed to fit in with the promotion they joined.

Sometimes a wrestler is so closely associated with one company that they struggle to find their place somewhere else. Other times, the business moves on, leaving a wrestler feeling like a relic of another era.

From Bret Hart in WCW and the Rock ’n’ Roll Express in WWF to Sting, Rikishi, Sabu, William Regal and Mr. Perfect, the lads run through the names who didn't quite fit the envi...

What are the most important matches in WWE history?

Shane and Morro look back at the matches that had the biggest impact on WWE — the bouts that changed the direction of the company, created new stars, defined eras and shaped WWE into what it became.

These aren't necessarily the greatest matches ever. They're the matches that mattered most.

Which matches changed WWE forever, and which moments had the biggest impact on the company?

Shaz, Johnny The Draw and Feral Horse Boy are in the Gorilla Room building their ultimate wrestling factions using stars from yesterday and today.

Who makes the cut? How would the factions be booked? And could our ideas stand alongside legendary groups like the Four Horsemen, nWo and D-Generation X?

The lads pitch their dream lineups, explain their booking plans and try to create the next great wrestling supergroup.

Who would be in your ultimate wrestling faction? Let us know in the comments.

hane and Gherkins are back in the Gorilla Room talking about the wrestling tropes we’ve all seen a thousand times.

Why does a referee get knocked out by one kick and stay unconscious for ten minutes? Why does every wrestling wedding inevitably end in disaster? Why do wrestlers insist on standing side-on when talking to someone on television?

From wrestling clichés and ridiculous logic to tropes that somehow became part of the language of professional wrestling, the lads run through the things that make you say: “Why do they ALWAYS do that...

Shane and the Feral Horse Boy Morro are back in the Gorilla Room for the podcast built around one question: who changed professional wrestling?

Following the incredible Will Ospreay vs Kenny Omega match at All In and the latest NJPW classic between Yuma Uemura and Oiwa, the lads look at the wrestlers, matches and companies that pushed wrestling in new directions — for better or worse.

From Tiger Mask and the evolution of Japanese wrestling, to ECW, the nWo, WWF, Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Vince Russo and plenty more, Shane and Morro look at th...

AEW ALL IN 2026 has taken over Wembley Stadium and AEW may have just delivered one of the greatest matches in the company’s history.

On this week’s All Elite Morro, I break down AEW All In 2026 from top to bottom before going deep on the match everyone is talking about: Kenny Omega vs Will Ospreay.

Was it really an instant classic? What made the match work so brilliantly? How did Omega and Ospreay structure the story, escalate the drama and turn Wembley into absolute chaos? And does this belong among the greatest AEW matc...

Shaz and the “Feral Horse Boy” Morro are back in the Gorilla Room to discuss one of the biggest questions facing WWE right now: what happens when wrestling starts looking too much like Moneyball?

With WWE increasingly using data and analytics to assess its roster, how much should numbers influence who gets a new contract, who gets pushed and who gets left behind?

The recent departure of Ilja Dragunov provides the perfect starting point. Dragunov's WWE contract expired this month, with reports suggesting WWE wanted to keep him but he ultimately chose not to r...

Shaz and Gherkins are back in the Gorilla Room discussing the disappearance of the larger-than-life gimmicks that once defined professional wrestling.

Where are the Earthquakes, Typhoons, Hawks, Animals, Smashes, Axes and Ultimate Warriors of today? Why does it feel like so many wrestlers now simply have a first name and surname? And seriously... what is a Mason Rook?

The lads look at whether wrestling has become too focused on presenting itself like a legitimate sport, despite the fact that professional wrestling has never really been one.

They also discuss Danhausen...

This week on All Elite Morro, I take an in-depth look at the G1 Climax 36 Final between Yuya Uemura and Ryohei Oiwa.

The two young NJPW stars faced off in a hugely significant final, with the match representing a major moment for the future of New Japan Pro-Wrestling. I break down the action, storytelling, performances and broader significance of the match, while examining whether this could ultimately be remembered as one of the great G1 Climax finals.

Does the WWE Performance Center Work?

Shane and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room discussing whether WWE’s Performance Center is actually producing better wrestlers.

How does WWE’s system compare to New Japan’s Young Lions? Are wrestlers being signed too young and missing out on the experience of working the independent scene and paying their dues?

The lads also get into the recent AJ Styles and Avery Styles controversy after Avery was criticised for not helping take down the ring at a GCW show. Does the old-school mental...

Gherkins, Shaz and Morto are taking a trip back to one of the most beloved eras of wrestling toys as Gherkins brings his collection of WWF Hasbro figures into the Gorilla Room.

For a generation of wrestling fans, these weren't just toys. They were how we recreated matches, built our own rosters and brought the WWF we watched on TV into our bedrooms.

Gherkins has collected almost the entire line, with only a handful still missing, so the lads get their hands on some absolute classics including Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, The...

Shane and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room to review WWE SummerSlam 2026, and they came away from the weekend with very different opinions.

Night One was headlined by Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar in Hell in a Cell, with Oba picking up one of the biggest wins of his career. They also discuss CM Punk vs Cody Rhodes, Gunther vs Nick Aldis, Liv Morgan vs Iyo Sky and the return of Randy Orton.

Shane and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room to take stock of the wrestling world as we pass the halfway point of 2026.

Recent reports suggest that if WWE's television ratings continue to slide over the next couple of years, TKO President Mark Shapiro and company could begin putting real pressure on Triple H and Nick Khan heading into 2028. With Premium Live Event business remaining strong but Raw's year-on-year ratings declining, the lads ask whether WWE has a genuine problem on its hands, or if the concern is being overstated.

From there, the...

This week, the Draw Bucks are (unfortunately) joined by El Hijo Del Morro for Part 2 as the lads try to answer one of wrestling's toughest questions: who was the most underpushed wrestler of all time?

The discussion starts with the obvious names but quickly gets complicated. Can someone like Vader really be considered underpushed despite winning world championships? What about Dusty Rhodes, whose influence far outweighed his WWE success?

The lads make passionate cases for wrestlers such as Christian Cage, Chad Gable, Brian Pillman, and plenty more, while once again struggling to agree...

In this episode from the vault Ciaran "Gherkins" Dunphy and El Hijo Del Morro do a deep dive retrospective on the iconic Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage storyline knows as The Mega Powers Explode!

This week's topic comes from Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show listener Adam Redmond, who suggested a debate around one of wrestling's most divisive subjects: overpushed wrestlers.

With recent discussion surrounding Cody Rhodes, Shane and Morro ask a simple question that's anything but easy to answer: what does "overpushed" actually mean?

Is it someone who wins too often? A wrestler consistently placed above more deserving talent? Or is it simply a case of fan perception?

As always, the parameters quickly disappear.

The lads each reveal their top three most overpushed...

Shane and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room to discuss one of wrestling's favourite traditions: coming out of retirement.

Some returns have become part of wrestling folklore, giving fans moments they'll never forget. Others have left people wondering whether certain legends should have stayed away.

The lads look at some of the greatest retirement comebacks of all time, including Edge's emotional Royal Rumble return, Bryan Danielson's remarkable second act, Shawn Michaels stepping back into the ring after years away, Ric Flair's many retirements, and CM Punk's long-awaited return to professional wrestling.

After weeks of legal battles, hostile takeovers and questionable decision-making in the WFSHOW-Verse, Shane and Morro finally sit down to try and sort out their differences.

With peace (mostly) restored, the lads turn their attention to Night of Champions 2026, where Sami Zayn finally captured the WWE Championship. The victory sparks a wider discussion about the greatest feel-good title wins in wrestling history and why some championship victories stay with fans forever.

Following escalating tensions within the WFWSHOW Discord, Shane has been locked out of all accounts amid a legal battle for control of the WFSHOW-Verse. After a disputed mutiny and the mysterious release of a “dead” podcast on Spotify hosted by Morro and Gherkins, the situation has now reached full escalation with lawyers involved and control of the channel in question.

In what can only be described as an act of outright defiance, The Old Bucks have commandeered the Dungeon studio and recorded a completely unauthorised episode without Shane’s involvement.

The Old Bucks are back in the Gorilla Room to discuss one of the most fascinating promotions in wrestling history: TNA Wrestling.

Love it or hate it, TNA has left a lasting mark on the wrestling industry. The lads look back at the promotion's greatest successes, from helping establish stars such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle and Gail Kim, to creating an alternative for wrestling fans during WWE's monopoly years.

Of course, no discussion about TNA would be complete without examining the mistakes. From controversial creative decisions to the eras dominated by figures...

It's a three-man booth this week as The Old Bucks and Gherkins gather in the Gorilla Room to discuss one of the most gloriously ridiculous wrestling matches in recent memory.

At Noche de Los Grandes, an American Olympic wrestler pretending to be a luchador and wearing a mask faced a German wrestler pretending to be an American, who was also wearing a luchador mask. The stipulation? One of these men, both of whom we've watched wrestle without masks for years, would lose their mask and suffer the ultimate humiliation.

On paper it's completely...

Morro is back in the Gorilla Room, and this week he has a mission: convince Shane — a lapsed AEW fan who’s increasingly falling out of love with weekly TV wrestling — that AEW is worth watching again.

The lads dive into what’s changed in recent months and whether the company has genuinely turned a corner. Has Darby Allin’s world title run helped reshape the feel of AEW? Are stories finally clicking again? And does the product feel more focused than it did a year ago?

There’s praise for the current run of FTR...
