ATTACK! 15th Anniversary Review | The "EC-Drew" Entrance & A Historic Main Event | EP88Andy is finally back from Cardiff (after a 5-hour trek that somehow takes longer than getting to Manchester) and we’re diving into the absolute madness that was the ATTACK! 15th Anniversary show.600 people crammed into the venue, "Sex Bomb" medleys for Paul London, and a main event that genuinely felt like a massive deal for the UK scene. We’re breaking it all down, from the matches that exceeded expectations to the "goofy wrestling" moments that make ATTACK! what it is.What we’re talking about:The Main Event: Dani Luna and Kanji proving they aren’t just the best "women" wrestlers, but two of the best in the world, full stop.The "EC-Drew" Entrance.The Return of Eddie Dennis: A massive pop in the middle of the Mark Andrews vs Josh Holly "Courtroom Brawl."That Head Bump: Tommy Vril vs Kara Noir was a "ballet of violence" but had us genuinely worried for a second.The Weird & Wonderful Rumble: Including Leon Cage, Sexy E... Matt Gatlin, Simon Miller’s surprise, CAW, the the Love-Making Demon , and more.Title Changes: New Tag Champs, a 24/7 shocker, and the crowning of a new World Champion.If you weren’t in that room, you missed a celebration. If you were, let’s relive the chaos.💬 Let us know in the comments:Was the trek to Cardiff worth it? What was your match of the night? And how loud was it actually in that venue?🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539Chapters:00:00 Back from Cardiff: The 600-Fan Atmosphere02:55 Tommy Vril vs. Kara Noir (The "Head Bump" Match)06:03 ATTACK!

We are BACK.After releasing at least one episode every single week since day one, we’ve finally had our first unintended break… two whole weeks.Life happened. But we’re back in the saddle.And what a week to return.This episode we dive headfirst into:🔥 Swerve Strickland’s full heel turn – necessary? Perfect? Is Nana in danger?🔥 The Death Riders / Callis vortex – who’s actually coming out better?🔥 Wheeler Yuta discourse (yes… somehow we did 15 minutes on Yuta).🔥 Andrade being on absolute FIRE – push him to the moon or risk cooling him off?🔥 Tekla, Mercedes, Toni, Willow and the absolute madness of the women’s division.🔥 Bucks vs FTR AGAIN (and why that’s not a bad thing).🔥 Revolution card predictions.🔥 The mystery box… Danhausen? Joe Hendry? The Rock? The Gobbledygooker?Somewhere along the way:🧈 WWE became a metaphor involving overpriced supermarket butter.🧈 Hook’s leadership credentials were questioned aggressively.🧈 Things got heated… because we actually care.AEW feels alive.WWE feels… expensive and spreadable.And we’re arguing because wrestling is supposed to make you feel something.🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.

Episode 82 is a two-man chaos shift as Wrestling Mark and Andy do what they “never” do and start with WWE, ripping into the Royal Rumble, the lifeless booking, and why so many ex-AEW names feel like they’ve been dropped into a punishment ritual instead of treated like stars. We talk Roman winning, the weird timing around Triple H criticism, and why it might finally feel like Dwayne Johnson is lining up a power move.Then we flip to AEW and get properly honest: not bad faith, not tribalism, just the reality that AEW set the bar so high that “good matches” alone doesn’t hit the same anymore. We break down the Death Riders hangover, rotating pushes, why some big moments have felt flatter than they should, and what AEW needs to do to get that “I have to stay up till 3am” feeling back.On the upside, there are real signs of life: the main event scene is stacked, Andrade feels reborn, Ricochet’s cooking , and we fantasy-book the most obvious (and most exciting) move possible: AJ Styles in AEW, with a proper run and a retirement done right.Also: hair vs hair predictions, women’s division frustration, and yes, White Castle catches strays again.🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW#AEWDynamite#WrestlingPodcast#GroupchatWrestlingPodcast#AJStyles#RoyalRumble#WWERumble#AEWvsWWE#TonyKhan#HangmanPage#KennyOmega#SwerveStrickland#ProWrestling#WrestlingTalk#IndieWrestling#TNA Hosted on Acast.

Are wrestling promotions having an identity crisis?In Episode 81 of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast, we break down TNA’s highly anticipated AMC debut and ask the uncomfortable question – what went wrong? We dig into creative decisions, presentation issues, and why fans came away frustrated despite wanting TNA to succeed.We also dive into AEW’s current direction, including heels vs faces, character consistency, and why Swerve Strickland could be the biggest heat magnet in wrestling if they play it right. Is a major turn coming, and does AEW know when to pull the trigger?Plus:AEW’s storytelling strengths and weak spotsThe future of Ring of HonorAJ Styles’ contract and what comes nextWhy women’s and tag team divisions still need better bookingHow wrestling can capitalise on momentum instead of killing itSmart takes, honest criticism, and proper pub-chat wrestling discourse.🎙️ Listen, like & subscribe if you enjoy wrestling talk without the grift.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #FullGear #AEWFullGear #AEWPodcast #ContinentalClassic #HangmanPage #TonyKhan #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast #tna Hosted on Acast.

It’s awards season, Groupchat style. Welcome to the 2025 Groupchat Wrestling Podcast Awards.We hand out awards for Men’s, Women’s and Tag Team Wrestler of the Year, debate Match of the Year, crown the best events and promotions of 2025, and highlight the performances, transformations, and moments that defined the year across AEW, WWE, and independent wrestling.From elite in-ring work and emotional highs to accidental comedy, baffling internet takes, and discourse that should’ve stayed in the drafts, nothing is safe. There’s love for indie wrestling, appreciation for genuine reinventions, shout-outs to the biggest pops of the year, and plenty of arguing over what worked, what didn’t, and why wrestling fans are Like That.We also take a moment to reflect on emotional milestones, legacies, and retirements, proving once again that wrestling can still hit you right in the feelings… even while the internet is losing its mind.🎧 Listen & Subscribe:YouTube: / @gwpodcastuk ​Spotify: https://open.spotify.c...​Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple...​🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: / gwpodcastuk ​Discord: / discord ​BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profi...​👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW​ #AEWDynamite​ #JohnCena​ #MercedesMone​ #aewworldsend #BritWres​ #WrestlingPodcast​ #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast​ #CTE​ #Camembert​ #AEWUKTour​ Hosted on Acast.

This was a very late and very chaotic recording.Christmas is frying all our brains, everyone’s busy, half the crew vanished, and the rest of us sound drunk despite being completely sober. This is a short, unfiltered, spur-of-the-moment “we HAVE to get this done before Dynamite” — and it shows.In this deeply unhinged Episode 75, we somehow manage to cover:John Cena’s retirement and a full therapy session about his legacyAEW’s Continental Classic, upcoming UK shows & British wrestling greatnessMercedes, Red Velvet, Rio, and the state of the women’s divisions across the worldGatekeeping AEW fans, Nick Khan’s delusion, and Tony Khan’s Jaguars curseWhy Mark is circling a car park with Camembert on his mindWhy you could get banned from a nightclub because of a Figure FourAnd why none of us should be allowed microphones in DecemberDespite the madness, we love doing this — and after this week we’ll get things back on track with more BritWres coverage, more AEW chat, more guests, and hopefully more sleep.🎧 Listen & Subscribe:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Britwres dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇#AEW #AEWDynamite #JohnCena #MercedesMone #MattHardy #BritWres #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast #CTE #Camembert #AEWUKTour Hosted on Acast.

This week we dive deep into AEW Full Gear, breaking down the matches, moments, and all the chaos from the show. Andy has a proper moan about some of the long-running booking inconsistencies in AEW — from Hangman’s reign to missed timing on pushes — and why he personally hasn’t felt the same buzz since All In.We also get into the Continental Classic, how it’s shaping up, who we fancy to win the blocks, and why Claudio is somehow in every tournament ever booked.And as always, we finish by answering your questions, rambling into tangents, and probably upsetting at least one fanbase along the way.Grab a brew, stick it on in the gym, on a walk, in the car… and enjoy another week of wrestling talk with the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast.🎧 Listen & Subscribe:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Progress dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #FullGear #AEWFullGear #AEWPodcast #ContinentalClassic #HangmanPage #TonyKhan #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast Hosted on Acast.
