This week, it's another packed and extended edition of McGuire on Wrestling as Mike welcomes some special guests and talks about some of the biggest news in wrestling this week. Our Feature Guest is former WWE Magazine writer and Author, Brian R. Solomon, whose new book, "Irresistible Force: The Life and Times of Gorilla Monsoon" came out this week.  Hear not only some fascinating stories about one of the true pillars of what would eventually become today's WWE, but also some incredible untold stories about the legend in and out of the ring. Brian and Mike also get into discussions of the process of writing a book like this, which can be considered in many ways as his follow-up to the critically acclaimed "Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling's Original Sheik".  You'll hear how a fascination with ancestry helped paint a picture of Gorilla Monsoon you may have never fully appreciated. In another edition of "Have Your Say", we catch up with Toronto Comedian and Celebrate Wrestling family member Ernie Vicente.  Ernie is a life-long fan, and uses what he's heard about the wrestling business as a template for how he's found success as a touring stand-up comic. Plus, Mike takes you through some of the headlines of the week, including how Winnipeg Pro Wrestling may be part of what could be a historic title reign, or their champion could make it more challenging for a certain AEW "CEO". The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer also joins the show to talk about The Rock's struggles at the Box Office this week, and how a disappointing box office result might not be as bad as it seems for Dwayne Johnson.  They also discuss AEW's "throwback" approach to some of their stars, ticket prices, and look ahead to December 13th, as John Cena's last match has been announced - but not his last opponent.

Professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea) passed away on Thursday, July 24 in Clearwater, Florida. He was 71 years old. Hulk Hogan was and remains one of the most important figures in American and global popular culture. Hulk Hogan/Terry Bollea also leaves behind a very complicated legacy. Brian R. Solomon is a leading professional wrestling journalist, historian, and author. He is the host of the popular Shut up and Wrestle podcast. His new book is Irresistible Force: The Life and Times of Gorilla Monsoon. Solomon reflects on why the death of Hulk Hogan has caused so much emotional pain and tumult for those of us who came of age in the 1980s and directly experienced the rise of the global cultural phenomenon that was the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) and Hulkamania. Solomon details why Hulk Hogan and the WWF's meteoric rise, his decades-long career (including reinventing himself as the leader of the New World Order faction in World Championship Wrestling), and marriage of personality and cultural moment will never be repeated again in professional wrestling, and likely sports more broadly.  Solomon and Chauncey discuss their love of professional wrestling and why Hulk Hogan was so central to it – and also try to process how Terry Bollea's foul behavior and values such as his racism, hostility to labor unions, and public alliance with Donald Trump and the MAGA movement complicates that relationship and nostalgia.
