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. Tune in, hit play, and join the conversation! 🎧 #WrestlingPodcast #AEW #WWE Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 97 - AEW Redemption Review: More Good Than Bad?

    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. Plus, Wrestling Mark goes OFF on WWE's moral bankruptcy, the wrestling media echo chamber, and why Dave LeGreca is public enemy #1.

    Episode 96 - Do AEW Fans REALLY Defend Everything?

    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: ❤️ SUPPORT REBEL AND I AM ALS https://www.iamals.org/rebel/ We’ll also be at TNT Extreme Wrestling: Summer Explosion 2026 on Saturday, 25 July at Hangar 34 in Liverpool.

    Episode 90 - Dogsh*t WrestleMania?! 😬 BRUTALLY Honest Review

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

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.
