The use of celebrity guests on a special event is nothing new to the Wraslin’ World. From the early appearance of the legendary Mahammad Ali in Japan and the myriad of guests at the early “Manias all the way to today. Now with the angles featuring Bad Bunny (huh??) and Shaq capturing headlines, it’s time to focus this episode’s “Turnbuckle Talk” to special guest appearances of the past. From the…

With the Royal Rumble still fresh in the minds of mat fans, we figure this is a good time to discuss all things Edge! Being a Good Canadian Boy himself, we ‘ve followed The Enigmatic One from his humble beginnings on the local indie scene all the way to his magical “Wrestlemania”moment. So with this edition of “Turnbuckle Talk”, we go thru the in and outs, ups and downs, and…

Season three of the always informative, and entertaining, Viceland vehicle “Dark Side Of The Ring” has been announced. As per usual, it’s looking like it’s going to be an absolute ring burner. It’s looking to have more interesting stories that show that what goes on beyond Gorilla is more interesting than what’s going on in the squared circle. So this time around we cracked a couple of our faves and…

We started this program by introducing your hosts with the old standard of sharing our “Mount Rushmore” of pro wrestling. But it’s not just the wrestlers that make up this one ring circus. You got your managers. You got your promoters. You got your announcers. Some of these capture as much attention and contribute as much to the overall presentation as their in ring counterparts. So we decided we’d show…

This latest episode of WNIC was easy enough to book. Right now there is only two things of importance in the Wrasslin’ world. First up, Mr. Brodie Lee. The wrestling community is saddened by the loss of this great man. He was/is so universally respected the outpouring of emotion is staggering. Those same emotions were felt in the WNIC offices as well. So we took the time to pay tribute…

Welcome to our very unreasonable facsimile of a holiday episode. It’s not that we’re not feeling the Christmas Spirit. There’s just so much going on the wonderful world of Wrasslin’ that we’re still focused on the Squared Circle as opposed to some fat man’s annual home invasions. First up we do our blow by blow account of the TLC event. As well, we dissect our first TripleMania. AAA has once…

One of the life’s blood of pro wrestling has been the “The Big Reveal”. The build up of an angle with an air of mystery. Something big is going down and it has fans captivated. Hopefully, ‘The Big Reveal’ gets a huge pop and goes over big. But sometimes it doesn’t. This week on “Turnbuckle Talk”, we remember some of the more memorable reveals, good or bad. Who was “The…

This time on WNIC, a living legend takes his Last Ride. But before we get to that, we must focus on another Legend. Ring announcers are some of our unsung heroes. And CZW’s Larry Legend ranks with the best of them. So we wanted to give Mr. Legend an opportunity to tell his story. In our second interview, Legend discusses his monicker, his time in DragonGate, his take on Death…

This week marks the anniversary of the passing of the amazing Eddie Guerrero. It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 yrs. since “Latino Heat” left us much too early. So we decided to focus our attention to the former World champ in our “Turnbuckle Talk”. The highs and lows of his storied career. How we first discovered EG and all our fave moments. AS well, we discussed the ICW Pit…

Your boyz from the Great White North (eh) have lots to yack about this time around. Which took us well beyond the time limit draw. First up, we dive deep into both the recent WWE “Hell In The Cell” and AEW “Full Gear” extravaganzas. In our “Turnbuckle Talk”, we chart our own pro wrestling geography class. Pro wrestling has it’s own terms and expressions and those include some of the…

For a variety of reasons, Chris Jericho is our homie! First off, he’s a good Canadian boy. More specifically from our hometown of Winnipeg (you idiots!). As well, he was cut from the same heavy music scene cloth that we were. So of course, we’ve been following “Le Champion” from his humble indie roots to owning Wednesday night US cable TV. So when it was announced Mr. Jericho was celebrating…

It’s hard to comprehend, but we now live in a (wrestling) world with no Road Warriors in it. The shocking news of the untimely demise of Road Warrior Animal left us gutted. So now its appropriate to pay tribute to the man with a Turnbuckle Talk dedicated to the once in a lifetime combo of Hawk and Animal – The Road Warriors!! We discuss our personal fandoms, the iconic theme…

Since the one – two punch of our last episodes, we had a bit of time between. That’s cool, as there’s been enough going on in the Wonderful World Of Wrasslin’ for at least another couple episodes. But this time around, we’ll keep it to one. First off, we go into the all that went on with SummerSlam. And of course, Payback was the following week. To which both were…

Your hoser hosts of WNIC each bring their own stuff to the table. Snowy is the old timer. Matt has a good grip on the current “product”. and Ducky likes to venture deep into wrasslin’s underground. So this episode sees us giving our whys and wherefores on the recent “King Of The Death Match” tournament! A brutal two day tourney thats more gladiator barbarism than sport. And it featured our…

This episode of “Wrestling Night In Canada” sees your favourite hosers playing catch with some of the major cards lately. We give the once over and our 2 cents to NXT’s “Great American Bash”, Impact’s “Slammaversary”, and the truly horror(ible) Extreme Rules. For our “Turnbuckle Talk’, there could only be one topic. We’re all heavy music fans. Kind of the show’s gimmick. And fans of both Chris Jericho and 80s…

With such a heavy duty episode last time, we were thrilled to lighten the load this time ’round. The Speaking Out movement gave way to a variety of other topics plaguing our great sport. The Impact Wrestling World title picture is in shambles. As is their roster. Renee Young’s Covid woes are impacting the competition. And Sammy Guevara shows he’s a man. For our “Turnbuckle Talk’, we go over an…

It could be Wrestlemania all over again. The card could have featured nothing but Steamboat/Savages. But it would be all for nought as right now the wrestling world is a little distracted. A few years ago, the TV and Film industry started calling out its unsavoury and inappropriate behaviour towards women with the MeToo movement. Now this has reared it’s ugly head in the squared circle. All it took was…

Recently the world of wrasslin’ suffered thru an anniversary of one of it’s darkest chapters. May 23rd will always go down infamy as the day we lost the great Owen Hart. To coincide with this tragedy, “The Dark Side Of The Ring” series used this for it’s highest rated episode yet. WNIC has chosen to use this anniversary to celebrate the awesomeness that was, and still is, “The King Of…

It’s amazing how one woman’s reproduction choice can shake up the wrestling world. Of course, it helps that it’s the industry’s biggest star. Becky Lynch’s pregnancy announcement and title vacancy, for good or bad, got tongues wagging and forum boards lit up. And your “Four Horsemen of The Apodcalypse” have an opinion…or four. It also inspired this episode’s discussion topic of the three fundamentals of a pro wrestler. As well,…

The worlds of pro wrestling and heavy music have always been close bedfellows. Not only just as cool ring entrance music (i.e. the ominous tones of”Iron Man” as the Roadies stormed the ring), but a multitude of other aspects as well (i.e. Erick Rowan’s T shirt collection). All the way to wrestling terminologies making great band names. Huh?? Well, case in point – “Piledriver”. As awesome (predominantly) 80s Heavy Metal…
