Celebrate Wrestling - McGuire on Wrestling

BONUS: Royal Rumble 2026 Preview with Mike McGuire

WWE's Royal Rumble is this Saturday, with four very compelling matches on the card.  The Rumble matches themselves always have the potential to be interesting off the hop, but with many fans guessing as to what COULD happen, there is an extra level of excitement.

Also, will this actually be AJ Styles' final match in a WWE ring?  Has "Uncle Allen" been giving us the retirement tour already?  Does Sami Zayn LOSE for the first time in Saudi Arabia?

Enjoy this quick preview of the Rumble, and we'll talk to you all about it after the show this weekend!

Legends and Champions: Eddie Guerrero

Andy Evans and Stefan Bennett are back telling the stories of the all-time greatest moments, events and athletes that make professional wrestling the thing we love!

This week, the guys take a look not just at the career of one of the greats, but discuss at length why this certain wrestler is still celebrated, impersonated, and remains culturally relevant years since his passing.

Whether it's lying, cheating and stealing, or introducing the spirit and fire "Latino Heat" and lucha libre to a worldwide audience, find out why the guys think Eddie Guerrero remains top of mind over two decades since his passing in this special episode!

BONUS: Fred Rosser, NJPW Coach, FKA WWE's Darren Young

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.
