Celebrate Wrestling - McGuire on Wrestling

MoW 077 - Joe Koff, NXT ECW?, MLPW Debuts, AEW's MAX Rollout, Dave Meltzer and More!

This week, join Mike McGuire for the latest talk on the world of professional wrestling in a special part one of a 2-part show this week.

Tomorrow, Mike will be hosting a LIVE edition of McGuire on Wrestling on CKXU FM, with even more content, stories and guests.

Today, we look back at the numerous contributions of Joe Koff, the Sinclair Broadcasting executive who would navigate the initial purchase of Ring of Honor by the network, as well as its subsequent sale to AEW President Tony Khan.

Koff's legacy is a very humble one, but Dave Meltzer will discuss Koff's contributions, as well as how fans still benefit from it today.

Also, Dave and Mike discuss WWE's immediate plans, including what could be coming from an announced Netflix Behind the Scenes documentary on the company, and where the company is directing their focus moving forward.

There's LOTS more in this week's show, with more to come tomorrow!
