The Old Bucks are joined by Gherkins Dunphy for a milestone episode as The Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show hits its 100th podcast — and the lads mark it with a listener-suggested deep dive into one of the most debated eras in wrestling history.

Prompted by Ger from our Discord server, this episode looks back at the wrestlers who made the jump from WCW to WWE following the takeover. From headline names like Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sting, Goldberg, Ric Flair and Scott Steiner, to cruiserweights and mid-card staples like Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero and Billy Kidman, the lads examine who benefited, who struggled, and why.

There’s also discussion around the Invasion era, including Diamond Dallas Page and Booker T, how WWE presented former WCW stars, and whether the transition was ever handled fairly. One notable omission is Hugh Morrus — which, according to DDP logic, might not be a bad thing at all.

A reflective, honest look at legacy, opportunity, and missed chances — and a fitting way to mark 100 episodes.

A slightly different episode this week as the podcast goes online for the first time — and it’s a special one.

After referencing it countless times on the show, Shane finally sits down with Sean Herbert, the founder of The Wrestling Channel, to talk about how it came to be and why it still holds such a strong place in wrestling fans’ memories.

Broadcast between December 2003 and December 2008, The Wrestling Channel was a free-to-air digital satellite station in the UK and Ireland, created with one clear mission: to be a dedicated home for professional wrestling. For many fans, it was the first time they had access to wrestling outside the WWE bubble.

The channel introduced audiences to promotions they had never seen before, including CZW, TNA, ROH, FWA, IWW and more. It helped shape tastes, broaden horizons, and quietly influenced an entire generation of fans and wrestlers across the UK and Ireland.

Sean talks candidly about the challenges of running a wrestling TV channel, the risks involved, why it ultimately ended after five years, and what its legacy looks like today. A must-listen for anyone who discovered independent wrestling through late-night channel surfing.

On today’s All Elite Morro, I break down the explosive MJF and Hangman Adam Page promo from last night’s AEW Dynamite and analyse the massive implications heading into AEW Revolution.

With the Texas Death Match now carrying the stipulation that Hangman Adam Page can never challenge for the AEW World Championship again if he loses, I examine what this means for his character arc, AEW’s long-term booking, and the future of the title picture. I also assess MJF’s positioning in the feud, the promo dynamics between the two, and whether AEW is setting up a defining career moment at Revolution.

This episode delivers focused AEW analysis, storyline breakdowns, and in-depth wrestling discussion covering MJF, Hangman Page, AEW Dynamite, and the road to AEW Revolution. Subscribe for weekly wrestling reviews and thoughtful analysis of the biggest stories in professional wrestling.
