This was a very late and very chaotic recording.Christmas is frying all our brains, everyone’s busy, half the crew vanished, and the rest of us sound drunk despite being completely sober. This is a short, unfiltered, spur-of-the-moment “we HAVE to get this done before Dynamite” — and it shows.In this deeply unhinged Episode 75, we somehow manage to cover:John Cena’s retirement and a full therapy session about his legacyAEW’s Continental Classic, upcoming UK shows & British wrestling greatnessMercedes, Red Velvet, Rio, and the state of the women’s divisions across the worldGatekeeping AEW fans, Nick Khan’s delusion, and Tony Khan’s Jaguars curseWhy Mark is circling a car park with Camembert on his mindWhy you could get banned from a nightclub because of a Figure FourAnd why none of us should be allowed microphones in DecemberDespite the madness, we love doing this — and after this week we’ll get things back on track with more BritWres coverage, more AEW chat, more guests, and hopefully more sleep.🎧 Listen & Subscribe:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 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 #MattHardy #BritWres #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast #CTE #Camembert #AEWUKTour Hosted on Acast.

This week we dive deep into AEW Full Gear, breaking down the matches, moments, and all the chaos from the show. Andy has a proper moan about some of the long-running booking inconsistencies in AEW — from Hangman’s reign to missed timing on pushes — and why he personally hasn’t felt the same buzz since All In.We also get into the Continental Classic, how it’s shaping up, who we fancy to win the blocks, and why Claudio is somehow in every tournament ever booked.And as always, we finish by answering your questions, rambling into tangents, and probably upsetting at least one fanbase along the way.Grab a brew, stick it on in the gym, on a walk, in the car… and enjoy another week of wrestling talk with the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast.🎧 Listen & Subscribe:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Progress dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #FullGear #AEWFullGear #AEWPodcast #ContinentalClassic #HangmanPage #TonyKhan #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast Hosted on Acast.

AJ Lee is back — and the hyperbole machine is already in overdrive. Just as John Cena’s “heel turn” was once dubbed the best in history, AJ’s return is now being hailed as the greatest comeback ever. Some fans even say it’s the third best return in her own house. Whatever the ranking, there’s no denying the shockwaves it’s sending through the wrestling world.We break down what AJ’s return means for WWE, how it stacks up against CM Punk’s legendary comeback, and what it says about the power of nostalgia in wrestling. We also look at AEW’s ongoing perception issues — was the residency too long? — and why Eddie Kingston’s New York grit might be exactly what the company needs.From MJF’s evolution to the women’s division taking two steps forward and one step back, to whether we’re in a preseason lull, to tag team dream matches and shocking title wins on TV — this episode dives deep into why wrestling thrives on hype, surprises, and the larger-than-life moments that keep fans talking long after the bell rings.⏱️ Chapters:00:00 - AJ Lee's Historic Return09:29 - The Best Returns in Wrestling History ‍️15:02 - Fear of Overstaying Welcome22:58 - Logistical Challenges of Venues ️29:03 - Nostalgia and the Future of WWE ️34:55 - Disappointment with Big Bill's Handling42:56 - The Misdirection Theory on Eddie Kingston45:08 - Eddie Kingston's Role in Mox Redemption Story47:16 - Concerns Over Story Development1:01:57 - Lulls in Wrestling Storylines1:05:08 - Women's Division Issues ‍ 1:17:00 - Match Stipulations for MJF vs. Brisco1:31:18 - Wrapping Up the Conversation🎧 Listen & Subscribe:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.#WrestlingPodcast #AEW #WWE #ajlee #eddiekingston #hook #cmpunk #aewdynamite #theelite Hosted on Acast.
