McGuire on Wrestling

The war between WCW and WWE was reaching its boiling point.  Bret Hart would challenge The Undertaker for the WWE Championship, with the controversial Shawn Michaels as the special referee.  Tensions were high, and the show titled "Hart and Soul" brought a series of stories and stipulations to a talent-stacked card. Despite the talent and star power, the show struggled, and would also play scene to one of the most damaging and defining injuries to a Superstar in history.  Join Stefan Bennett as he walks us through the time as well as the events leading up to and following the card in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Joining Stefan for this episode, Celebrate Wrestling's Mike McGuire offers his perspective and memories from the time, and you're welcome to share yours as well! Share your memories and thoughts on the Celebrate Wrestling discussion page!  

This past weekend, something possibly more pro-wrestling than pro-wrestling caught a lot of eyes, in the form of a new MMA venture presented on Netflix. The Ronda Rousey/Gina Carano main evented card brought a lot of eyes to an event that some viewed as a potential competitor to UFC.  UFC is co-owned by WWE's parent company, TKO.  This week, Mike McGuire and Joe Aguinaldo look at the show itself, as well as the business behind it and what kind of threat it could pose to pro-wrestling fans. Also this week, we take a quick look at the upcoming AEW Double or Nothing 2026 card, and Legends and Champions returns this week, so we have a special discussion with host Stefan Bennett, as we all try and anticipate what the John Cena Classic could actually end up being. Plus, news on the 1999 film "Beyond The Mat", Marty Jannetty, Iyo Sky, Naraku, Baron Corbin, WSW Australia and more!

When the name Demolition is mentioned, most fans instantly think of face paint, spikes, and one of the most dominant tag team runs in wrestling history. But dominance alone doesn't answer the real question. Were Demolition truly one of the greatest tag teams of all time, or were they simply the right act at the right moment during the boom years of the World Wrestling Federation? In this episode of Legends & Champions, we break down the legacy of Ax and Smash — from their record-setting tag team championship run to their place in the evolving history of tag team wrestling. We explore: • How Demolition rose to prominence in the late 1980s • The comparisons with the legendary Road Warriors • Whether their success was booking, timing, or genuine greatness • Their impact on the tag team division during wrestling's golden era And as always, we finish with the ultimate verdict: Do Demolition belong in the category of Legend… or Champion?
