    One of the few wrestling podcasts I listen to. Informative, entertaining and bite sized. The recent Leo Burke pod was great. Also kudos to the ACT. They keep me laughing whenever I listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

McGuire on Wrestling 172 UNCENSORED: The Opinions Episode
Q: Are wrestling journalists real journalists?
There are journalists who practice genuine journalism with verification and integrity; those who simply copy-paste are not; paying for low-integrity dirt sheets is discouraged unless accompanied by credible reporting.
McGuire on Wrestling 172 UNCENSORED: The Opinions Episode
Q: What is your opinion on the perfect length of a pay-per-view and number of matches?
Three to three and a half hours tops, with a structure that keeps the main event in suspense and avoids overly long, bloated cards; occasional four-hour WrestleMania-length events are acceptable.
McGuire on Wrestling 172 UNCENSORED: The Opinions Episode
Q: What are some wrestling tropes bookers use that you want to die?
The hosts suggest simplifying tropes rather than killing them, favoring sparing use and meaningful integration instead of overcomplicating storylines with heavy-handed or overused devices.
BONUS: Dave Meltzer and Mike McGuire Preview AEW ALL IN LONDON 2026
Q: What are the biggest matches to watch at All In London 2026 and why?
The main event between Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay is framed as a potential career-defining/torch-passing match, with Omega historically regarded as one of the top wrestlers and Ospreay seen as the next era's leader; other key matches include MJF in the Casino Gauntlet scenario and the trio and tag team clashes that could set up follow-on feuds.
MoW Independent Spotlight - German-born LORY, "The Total Package"
Q: How long have you been doing this professionally?
