Podcast appearances and mentions of mike mcguire

Finding moments that make wrestling fans realize there are real people behind the characters we watch can sometimes be difficult.  In a time where there's more wrestling than ever to watch, sometimes the simplest base emotions are what stick out. This past week, All Elite Wrestling gave fans the chance to forget about wrestling wars, and focus on two very special individuals - one lost too soon, and the other fighting for their life. In WWE storylines, fans were treated to shocking moments and a title win for a Chilean native who was given a moment not for a TV rating, but for those fans in attendance, it was a night they'll never forget. Meanwhile, a small but mighty company in Alberta Canada is preparing to make history, and it's all based on a creative decision, a lot of teamwork, and giving their audience what they can to provide a one of a kind show never seen at this level. This week, Mike McGuire navigates you through these stories and more, including the return of Bayley to WWE, a conversation with Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer about the importance of Superstar Bill Dundee to wrestling, The Butcher, and yes, some rumours and tidbits. Plus, meet Curtis Jestin, part of the ownership group of Lethbridge's Pure Power Wrestling, who are looking to put on a WAR GAMES style match - two rings, one custom cage, 8 wrestlers.  It's a feat that's never been attempted by a company of this size, but find out why this Alberta independent promotion is taking the chance.

Few wrestling stars hold a place in the lexicon of fans from today and decades ago as well as Jake "The Snake" Roberts. While his successes and struggles have been well documented, join Stefan Bennet this week as we look back at some of the paths Jake's wrestling career took him down.  Far more than a tale of redemption, Jake's career also serves as a great demonstration of how an enduring familiarity can serve a wrestler. Joined by Mike McGuire, who has had the pleasure of interviewing Jake in the past, we hope you enjoy bringing some of the moments and memories from Roberts' career.

In this bonus podcast, meet Winnipeg's AJ Sanchez.  For over two decades, AJ has gone from being caught in a tumultuous local scene, to being able to travel to different parts of the world. Universally recognized as one of the best "big men" in Canada, Sanchez also heads the Elite Wrestling Academy - one of the most consistent training facilities in Central Canada. In this sit down, AJ and Mike McGuire talk about the changes in wrestling, training, and his own career since the online generation took over, what to look for and what to look out for from trainers, how he keeps motivated, and even find out some cool family history he has with the wrestling world.

It was a sad weekend for fans of several generations of professional wrestling as 3 names from different eras passed almost simultaneously. Longtime wrestler turned promoter Jerry Oates, well known to the Georgia area, legendary Memphis wrestler "Superstar" Bill Dundee, and active wrestler and musician, Andy "The Butcher" Williams were lost over the weekend.

For over 4 years, Mike McGuire has been doing his best to walk the line and appease wrestling fans.  It's not always easy to stay neutral and positive in the realm of pro wrestling fandom, but this week, it's all bias, all the time. Thanks to YOUR questions, Mike is joined by Joe Aguinaldo to talk all about wrestling, life, and everything in between with NO FILTER. Keep in mind, "Uncensored" doesn't mean "unnecessarily profane", so if you're worried about playing this with young ones in the vehicle, it's fine.  Still, if you're a fan of certain wrestling, wrestlers, or anything else, you may be in agreement, or you may have more questions.  Whatever comes of this, thank YOU for your interest and being a part of this!

There have been few people in the professional wrestling world as praised in and out of the ring as Curt Hennig. With wrestling in his blood, Hennig would start as the son of a legend, only to become one in his own right.  While some say that never being a world champion in WWE or WCW was a missed opportunity, join Stefan Bennett and co-host Mike McGuire for a look back at Hennig's career. What you'll get is a story not just about championships, but of a legacy that goes beyond "titles", as a timeless performer who passed too soon. For more on our shows, visit celebratewrestling.com

It was a time in WWE where new stars were rising and torches would be passed.  Without the grand gestures we sometimes see in wrestling, the subtle emergence of WWE's next generation of stars was a constant theme throughout the eighth installment of WrestleMania. Head back to Indianapolis, Indiana's Hoosier Dome in 1992 with Stefan Bennett and Mike McGuire as they go through the card that would see a dream match replaced with a "Double Main Event", the emergence of names like Shawn Michaels, Bret and Owen Hart, and a WrestleMania moment for... Virgil?! It's all here in the latest installment of Celebrate Wrestling's "Legends and Champions"!

This week, a man who was literally adopted into a pro-wrestling legacy, and would go on to create a lasting impact that still gets celebrated today. Though a despicable character, "The Million Dollar Man," Ted DiBiase lived a complicated life and worked to find his own identity in the wrestling world. Through the invention of a multi-millionaire character, DiBiase's life and career would change drastically and create memories for fans around the world.

It's the week after the 4 PPV/PLE weekend in North America alone between AEW, WWE, NXT and TNA.  A Lot has happened, and even more has happened since.  From title programs being raced into and out of, to championships proving to be less important to some wrestlers than personal grudges, we ask if the stipulations and circumstances leading up to matches are being properly paid off... Plus, Joe Aguinaldo joins Mike McGuire for some conversation on that topic, as well as which match truly is the main event of this year's WWE SummerSlam.  Will Kenny Omega REALLY lose any future shots at the AEW title?  There are a lot of great questions going into the week of wrestling, but not many being answered from last week...

Checking the boxes on what a wrestling superstar in the 80's and 90's had to capture the imagination of fans around the world, British import Davey Boy Smith is still celebrated as one of the greats.

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.

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!

Find out what made this tough guy wrestler incredibly unique, and why he deserves this honour.
