On this episode of The Wrestling Rewind, Darragh welcomes back a very special guest, and friend of the show, Scottish wrestling star Grado. With AEW heading to Glasgow, Grado joins the show to talk about his career, the Scottish, his thoughts on AEW bringing a major event to Scotland, and what fans can expect from the show on the 20th August at the Hydro Arena From his rise in ICW to becoming one of the most charismatic and entertaining wrestlers on the UK scene, Grado reflects on his journey, shares behind-the-scenes stories, and gives fans a glimpse of what to expect when AEW lands in Glasgow. Don't miss this fun and insightful conversation with one of the most beloved names in British wrestling.
This week Cian and Darragh pit DC and Marvel's biggest 2025 releases against each other with Superman and Fantastic Four. Darragh explains why he “passionately hates Superman” and why the character only works when his humanity is tested rather than his powers. The hosts explore what makes for a good Superman story from All-Star Superman to Red Son and critique why most movie versions miss the point. On the Marvel side they celebrate the Fantastic Four's legacy as the comic that launched the Silver Age praise Jack Kirby's influence and spotlight Doctor Doom as one of the greatest villains ever created. They discuss how the team's real strength lies in their scientific minds and cosmic problem solving rather than monster brawls. The episode wraps with a question for listeners: which film will have the bigger impact and can either franchise find its lasting spark?
In this special tribute episode, the team reflects on the life and career of Sabu following his recent passing. The discussion begins with the news itself and the wrestling world's reaction, before moving into the controversy surrounding Joey Janela's comments about allegedly giving Sabu drugs before his retirement match — a topic the hosts address with both sensitivity and honesty. The heart of the show is a nostalgic deep dive into a playlist of Sabu's TNA matches from 2005–2007, which the hosts fondly call the “golden age of TNA.” They deliver a detailed breakdown of a standout ladder match between Sabu and Malice from the early TNA weekly pay-per-views, highlighting the brutality, athleticism, and chaos that defined his style. One host also shares a personal story of meeting Sabu in Cork, Ireland, recalling his humble, friendly nature and the positive experience of interacting with one of wrestling's most unique performers. The episode closes with a discussion of how Sabu's silhouette, ring gear, and signature hand gesture became truly iconic in wrestling history.
In this episode, the team travels back to February 16, 1997 for a full review of WWF In Your House 13: Final Four from Chattanooga, Tennessee. They kick things off by covering the dark match between The Godwinns and The Headbangers before diving into the night's headline drama — Shawn Michaels' infamous “lost my smile” promo and sudden vacation of the WWF Championship. Was it genuine heartbreak or a clever dodge to avoid dropping the belt to Bret Hart at WrestleMania? The hosts dig deep into the speculation. Along the way, they revisit the state of the WWF in 1996–1997, comparing it to WCW's dominant NWO era and drawing parallels to the later rise of AEW. Match-by-match reviews include Marc Mero vs. Leif Cassidy (a.k.a. Al Snow) and The Nation of Domination vs. Bart Gunn, Flash Funk & Goldust, with added discussion on the origins of the Nation stable and Al Snow's unique career path.
This week, Cian and Kev take a nostalgic (and slightly overheated) deep dive into Star Trek: Enterprise — the oft-forgotten fifth Trek series. From creative burnout after Voyager, to behind-the-scenes trivia, to how 9/11's shadow unexpectedly shaped its tone, they unpack why this prequel feels so different. Plus: gripes about streaming services, ads on paid subscriptions, and the peril of eating too much Chinese food before recording.
In this special episode, Darragh and Martin take a deep dive into the larger-than-life career and unbelievable tales of the one and only Hulk Hogan following the shocking news of his passing. From his meteoric rise in the 1980s WWF boom to his controversial WCW run, Hollywood Hogan's NWO dominance, and the rollercoaster ride of his personal life, the hosts unpack the triumphs, scandals, and surreal moments that made Hogan a cultural icon. Expect legendary wrestling stories, wild backstage tales, and a candid look at the complicated legacy of one of pro wrestling's most famous names.

This week's episode is a mix of gaming discussion and pro wrestling news as the hosts move between video game talk and the latest developments in wrestling. Video Games and Deals The show begins with bargain hunting stories, including finding Resident Evil: Code Veronica for 99p and Bayonetta 3 for fifteen pounds. The Nintendo Switch gets praise for its portability and ability to run games like Bayonetta 3 smoothly despite not being the most powerful system. On the PlayStation 5 side, the hosts laugh about playing poorly made games purely for platinum trophies, including one about moving a burger and another about hitting a gyro 500 times. Unique Achievements The conversation turns to unusual and time-consuming gaming achievements, such as High on Life's trophy that requires waiting ten years to unlock, and The Stanley Parable's “don't play for five years” achievement, which some players bypass by changing their computer's internal clock. Wrestling Video Games The hosts review WWE 2K25, reflect on the success of WWE 2K24, and speculate on a potential TNA pack for the new game, which they say would make perfect sense. The AEW game is heavily criticised for having less content at the same price as a full game, with comparisons to WCW Backstage Assault. There is also a nostalgic look back at older wrestling games like WWF Attitude and ECW Anarchy Rulz, including the infamous brimstone match where wrestlers are set on fire. Professional Wrestling TNA is set to run a new TNA Unbreakable event in Las Vegas just before WrestleMania, a callback to the 2005 show that the hosts regard as a landmark moment for the company. They suggest this could be part of a growing collaboration between WWE and TNA. AEW receives more criticism, though one host acknowledges that the core idea of the AEW game is solid and notes that CM Punk is the champion in their game save.
