  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Welcome to the world of The Groupchat Wrestling Podcast! 🎙️ Hosted by Mike, Andy, Dan, Brett, and Wrestling Mark, we dive headfirst into the madness of professional wrestling—mainly AEW, but we’ve got takes on BritWres, NJPW, indies, CMLL, WWE, and more. Each week, we tear apart storylines, dissect matches, and speculate on the next shocking heel turn—all with brutal honesty, a twisted sense of humor, and an unshakable love for wrestling. We get fully invested in our own fantasy booking, going down ridiculous rabbit holes that sometimes make too much sense. But most importantly, we want to spotlight as much as we can—because wrestling should be fun, and we want to celebrate it. At the end of the day, we’re just like a group of fans chatting wrestling in a pub—no agendas, no drama, just passion for the sport and plenty of laughs. Expect no-b******t analysis, plenty of chaos, and an unapologetic love for pro wrestling. Follow us on Twitter/x (@GWPodcastUK) for updates, and whether you’re a die-hard AEW fan, a WWE loyalist, or just love wrestling, we’ve got you covered.

    Episode 83 - Why Does AEW Fumble Women? Rants, Predictions & Dream Matches

    Episode 83 is a one-hour, two-man deep dive with Brett and Dan, getting properly honest about where AEW is thriving — and where it’s actively holding itself back. We start on a long-overdue soapbox rant about AEW’s women’s division: why it feels like it’s regressed despite having the talent, what “good enough” booking looks like in 2026, and why this week feels like the right time for at least two title changes if AEW is serious about resetting the table. From there, we zoom out into AEW’s wider storytelling issues — character consistency, start-stop momentum, and the growing need for a hard ROH / AEW brand split to stop everything bleeding into everything else. We also talk roster growth, what’s actually working right now, and why Andrade El Idolo and Tommaso Ciampa somehow feel hotter than they ever did in the Black & Gold era. There’s fantasy booking too: how Jay White and Buddy Matthews should return, why Australia feels like the perfect stage, and what the Hangman–Swerve–Omega dynamic tells us about AEW’s main event future heading into Revolution. We also touch on AEW announcing Double or Nothing 2026 in New York City, Brett’s home turf, and the genuinely intriguing idea of Zohran Mamdani involvement. And finally: if AJ Styles did arrive in AEW — a big if — we lay out the dream matches that would actually make it worth doing. Thoughtful criticism, clear ideas, and no bad-faith nonsense. 🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.

    Episode 82 - Rumble Rants and the AJ Styles Dream Scenario

    Episode 82 is a two-man chaos shift as Wrestling Mark and Andy do what they “never” do and start with WWE, ripping into the Royal Rumble, the lifeless booking, and why so many ex-AEW names feel like they’ve been dropped into a punishment ritual instead of treated like stars. We talk Roman winning, the weird timing around Triple H criticism, and why it might finally feel like Dwayne Johnson is lining up a power move. Then we flip to AEW and get properly honest: not bad faith, not tribalism, just the reality that AEW set the bar so high that “good matches” alone doesn’t hit the same anymore. We break down the Death Riders hangover, rotating pushes, why some big moments have felt flatter than they should, and what AEW needs to do to get that “I have to stay up till 3am” feeling back. On the upside, there are real signs of life: the main event scene is stacked, Andrade feels reborn, Ricochet’s cooking , and we fantasy-book the most obvious (and most exciting) move possible: AJ Styles in AEW, with a proper run and a retirement done right. Also: hair vs hair predictions, women’s division frustration, and yes, White Castle catches strays again. 🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.

    Episode 81 - Heels or Faces? Identity Crisis

    Are wrestling promotions having an identity crisis? In Episode 81 of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast, we break down TNA’s highly anticipated AMC debut and ask the uncomfortable question – what went wrong? We dig into creative decisions, presentation issues, and why fans came away frustrated despite wanting TNA to succeed. We also dive into AEW’s current direction, including heels vs faces, character consistency, and why Swerve Strickland could be the biggest heat magnet in wrestling if they play it right. Is a major turn coming, and does AEW know when to pull the trigger? Plus: AEW’s storytelling strengths and weak spots The future of Ring of Honor AJ Styles’ contract and what comes next Why women’s and tag team divisions still need better booking How wrestling can capitalise on momentum instead of killing it Smart takes, honest criticism, and proper pub-chat wrestling discourse. 🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.

    Episode 79 - Our 2025 Wrestling Awards

    It’s awards season, Groupchat style. Welcome to the 2025 Groupchat Wrestling Podcast Awards. We hand out awards for Men’s, Women’s and Tag Team Wrestler of the Year, debate Match of the Year, crown the best events and promotions of 2025, and highlight the performances, transformations, and moments that defined the year across AEW, WWE, and independent wrestling. From elite in-ring work and emotional highs to accidental comedy, baffling internet takes, and discourse that should’ve stayed in the drafts, nothing is safe. There’s love for indie wrestling, appreciation for genuine reinventions, shout-outs to the biggest pops of the year, and plenty of arguing over what worked, what didn’t, and why wrestling fans are Like That. We also take a moment to reflect on emotional milestones, legacies, and retirements, proving once again that wrestling can still hit you right in the feelings… even while the internet is losing its mind. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: YouTube: / @gwpodcastuk ​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.c...​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple...​ 🐦 Connect With Us: Twitter: / gwpodcastuk ​ Discord: / discord ​ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profi...​ 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist. 🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW​ #AEWDynamite​ #JohnCena​ #MercedesMone​ #aewworldsend #BritWres​ #WrestlingPodcast​ #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast​ #CTE​ #Camembert​ #AEWUKTour​ Hosted on Acast.
