New faces are showing up in the strangest places, and other familiar folks are free agents. Seldom has the world of pro wrestling gone through this much transition in such a short time, but as the wrestling wars rage on, fans and wrestlers continue to have a lot of options, and we're here to talk about it!
This week, Mike McGuire walks you through some of the latest headlines, including a once lauded WWE prospect now following the path of a former WWE Champion. Meanwhile, some big names may be exploring their options, while fresher faces look to forge their own paths.
On the business side of things, a surprising turn in the Vince McMahon lawsuit. Does the US Department of Justice asking the accuser to pause her lawsuit mean something criminal may be pending, or is it merely a precaution during an investigation?
This week, join Mike as he and The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer go through the week, including the stunning return of MJF to AEW, Will Ospreay's current direction, the comments made by Trevor Lee regarding Gable Steveson, Ethan Page's arrival in NXT, and more.
Plus, Mike and Dave discuss the possibility of TNA and WWE working closer behind the scenes than what we are seeing on television.
You can now hear McGuire on Wrestling on the radio! The show airs before Monday Night Raw, every Monday afternoon at 4PM MT/3PM PT/6PM ET! If in Southern Alberta, listen at 88.3 CKXU FM, or online at www.ckxu.com!

Back from a trip with Canada's Wrestling Elite as part of their Cross-Canada Tour, Mike McGuire catches you up on some of the latest breaking and biggest stories in the week of professional wrestling.
In a bit of a surprise move, WWE has all but announced that Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul could be unifying, or at least dually-representing the WWE and United States championship in a Winner-Take-All Match at WWE King and Queen of the Ring.
Speaking of that tournament, we have the latest results for you from the matches that happened at a pair of non-televised events this past weekend.
Dave Meltzer joins the show to discuss a variety of topics including the possible title unification as well as:
- Kenny Omega's latest comments regarding Dave's "star ratings"
- The continuing stack of injuries plaguing pro wrestling
- The new "big money" angle in WWE
- Swerve Strickland playing second fiddle, even though he is AEW Champion
- Dana White's comments about WWE, UFC, and POWER SLAP combining for weekend events
- and much more!
Also, Mike and Dave talk about the explosive performance "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington, nephew of The Dynamite Kid from the 80's had on AEW Collision against Dax "The Ax" Harwood.
We then head to Edmonton, Alberta - home of this past week's AEW Dynamite, where a couple of listeners bring their voices to the show to talk about their experiences this time around, and Mike shares a bit of his experience with the CWE crew and gives you a taste of what touring wrestlers have to deal with.
