Celebrate Wrestling - McGuire on Wrestling

MoW 43 - Ripley Transcends, Sting's Last Week in Wrestling, Dave Meltzer on WON Awards, Vance Nevada and more!

This week, we're back on schedule, even as Mike crosses the prairies once again in the move that never ends!

Hot off the heels of WWE's Elimination Chamber, we are getting a better vision of what will headline WrestleMania this year, but questions still loom over some key performers and matches - most notably the involvement of The Rock.

Mike presents a theory that perhaps to save some wear and tear, only one WWE Superstar will have to wrestle both nights - but it's still anybody's guess!

Recent releases from WWE are striking gold in new promotions.  New Japan's "New Beginning" sees a lot of moves happening at once.  Are they going to continue to rely on North American stars to fill the holes being left by some of their veterans?

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is back with a look at the 10-Man Dog Pound Cage Match from NJPW a couple weeks ago - and together he and Mike discuss their feelings about the match.

Plus, Dave gives his thoughts after the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards has come out.  Does he agree with the picks?  Do YOU?

The McGuire on Wrestling Indy Showcase continues this week, as veteran independent wrestler and celebrated wrestling author/historian, Vance Nevada catches up with us to talk about some exciting new projects

And lastly, some of YOUR thoughts on Sting's final week in AEW - and most notably his final match - how do YOU think it will end?

The ACT Ep. 28 - ..."And A Free Pack of Bubblicious!"

This week, the leaders of the gWo are completely beside themselves after the events in WWE over the past few days - especially since the WrestleMania XL Kickoff Event in Las Vegas!

Hear their thoughts on what went down with Cody Rhodes staking his claim on the WrestleMania Main Event match against Roman Reigns, The Rock's turn, and hear their thoughts on a seemingly impossible match - but they still make ya wonder!

Also, they look at this past week's AEW Dynamite, and Tony Khan's announcement for the "Big Business" event in Boston.  Was it a big announcement, or an announcement of an announcement?

Lastly, it's an extended "Alternate Scenario" session, covering everything from a slap from the Rock vs. a wooden spoon shot from a Greek Mother, and somehow transitioning to New Jack.

It's the least-serious, but most entertaining "week in review" show, and it's here for you every week!
