It's not very often any wrestling fan of a certain length can say they've "never seen that before". For everyone on the CWE roster at a show in Calgary, it was a just that.
Join Mike McGuire for the third and final recap from his stint as part of Canadian Wrestling Elite's 17th Anniversary tour, stopping in Calgary, Alberta.
A much smaller venue than where he would usually host Dungeon Wrestling, Mike takes you behind the scenes to a very unique moment, with most of the players involved.
Then, as a pleasant surprise, Ross Hart joins in as he and Mike discuss the importance of being open minded to different styles of wrestling, and how a good emcee/ring announcer and presenter CAN add value to a fan and promoter's show.

This week on Legends and Champions, we do something quite different. We hand the reigns of the show over to ChatGPT (sorry Mike).
ChatGPT has set us some questions, both of which Andy and Stefan have not seen until show time. This means that we will be talking about anything and everything to do with professional wrestling that includes the Royal Rumble, WWE, AEW, NXT, TNA and even a discussion on Saudi Arabia and HHH's booking style.
Join us for what is a very different but fun show. Let us know what you think at Celebrate Wrestling
From the brutal bitter cold of Saskatchewan, to a slightly less bitter cold 2 and a half hours west in Medicine Hat, Alberta, our journey on the CWE Tour continues in one of the most favourite stops for the crew.
Add to the experience, sharing a lot of road time, and a room with the star of the show, Harry "Davey Boy Smith Jr." Smith, and anything is possible.
Join us for some of the day... the buzz around the show, meeting sponsors, a very loud crowd, post-show hangs and even a visit from a certain American Dream... if you weeel...

Saskatchewan is a province that Mike McGuire swore he would never return to for any reason. Then, when Canadian Wrestling's Elite offered him a chance to hop on their 17th Anniversary Tour, one of the dates was in a city he couldn't imagine going back to. As pro wrestling has taught us... never say never.
Join Mike McGuire in this mini-series of personal entries into an audio journal during this tour. Nothing's off limits, and there are no punches pulled. You'll hear the good, the bad, and all points in between as he rediscovers the good and challenging times that come with this crazy entertainment world.

Fred Rosser was known as "Darren Young" during his time in WWE. During that tenure, he was part of one of the hottest factions of its time in The Nexus, became a Tag Team Champion as part of the "Prime Time Players", and even was a protoge of former WWE Champion, Bob Backlund.
Most notably, Rosser would become known as the first openly gay WWE Superstar who was active during his career - a distinction he still treasures to this day.
Mike McGuire sat down with Fred before a Dungeon Wrestling show in Calgary, Alberta recently. Nowadays, in addition to wrestling, Rosser is Head Coach for New Japan Pro Wrestling's Los Angeles Dojo, the NJPW Academy.
The two talk about his history in The Nexus, John Cena's role in his career, his positive outlook despite some personal struggles and even a dubious happening in Montreal that he was an inadvertent part of.
