Generally speaking, this is my most listened to show of the year, so thank you and strap in. Over the past several months this podcast has focused on many of the people who had not yet made the ballot. That gives me much more latitude on today's show to dive into the people and process of the Hall of Fame, examine the ballot, and on the second half of the show I throw a curveball to the process which makes for a very interesting segment. Also, I am preparing a suggestion for Dave Meltzer about how to handle the pioneer era of wrestling.

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.

This week on the podcast version of McGuire on Wrestling, you're getting extended content including a very special, and very real conversation with ECW, WWE, TNA and OVW Current Coach/Owner, AL SNOW! Al's experience in his FIFTH DECADE of pro wrestling led us to a remarkably fun but compelling conversation about what it takes to try and get noticed in an oversaturated wrestling world, and what he himself looks for from any talent trying to get noticed - inside AND outside of the ring. Also on the show, our new "Have Your Say" segment debuts, with former Sportscaster and TV producer, as well as Celebrate Wrestling follower, Kevin Jesus joining Mike to share his feelings on WrestleMania today vs. growing up as a fan, the Saudi Arabia deal for Mania and why that's NOT the reason he's losing his love for WWE's biggest branded event. The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer walks us through some of the week's news, as well as the fallout from the latest head-to-head day between WWE and AEW, what could be next for NXT's Oba Femi, and who he thinks can be the biggest draw for both sides moving forward.

Today my classic wrestling podcast takes a detailed look back at September 1992 through the pages of Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter. WCW was having an identity crisis. The pro wrestling world was crumbling down. The WWF (WWE) was plagued with multiple scandals and business was down around the globe. Bill Watts was running WCW and had taken it backward instead of forward. Bill Watts instituted weird, outdated rules and even tried to elevate the now irrelevant NWA back to some sort of stature. It was an effort in futility as Bill Watts would soon be removed due to inflammatory comments which would be brought to light by a baseball legend.
This week, it's the week before an almost direct head-to-head PPV/PLE weekend between AEW and WWE. We'll look at some of the matches, but that's just the beginning. Join Mike McGuire as he goes through some of the big stories of the week - no bigger perhaps than the initial reactions of WWE announcing WrestleMania 43 will take place is Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Initial reactions seem very mixed, but we will go into the story behind the story with The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer. Also, former WWE Cruiserweight and and Tag Team Champion Brian Kendrick sits down for the first time with us, and an in-depth conversation about his life as a wrestler - as well as helping train such names as Ronda Rousey and Bad Bunny to perform in the ring.
