Ethan Tyler on the WON HOF case of Dominic DeNucci and how his omission from the HOF is a major oversight.

In the latest episode of the GWP, host Jesse Collings is joined by Alan4L of Alan4L's Pro Wrestling Paradise Podcast on Pro Wrestling Torch to discuss how wrestling styles have gone from being unique to different promotions, to main event matches looking the same across all promotions. They discuss the history of wrestling becoming more homogenized, the biggest in-ring influences of the last 20 years that have contributed to the style, and the few wrestlers today who work a unique style, as well as a lot more in an extremely detailed and nerdy discussion about we see in the ring today. 

One of the more recent tropes in pro wrestling is "Why am I so violent?", where a babyface wrestler will have a crisis of conscience about the level of violence they are dishing out against their opponent (and typically stare at their hands while doing so). It's meant to be this dramatic emotional arc, but more often it just makes the babyface look like an idiot and a coward for not wanting to hurt their opponent. On this episode, Andrew comes up with one of his delightfully devilish puns with a topic called "Why am I so violin?", in which he and first-time guest Hypnotoad (VOW Discord) play songs that have a string section instrument in them (violin, viola, cello, double bass). Artists played include Kansas, The Cranberries, Ben E. King, Dexys Midnight Runners, The Shirelles, Queensrÿche, The Verve, and many more. Don't stare at your hands too long, or else you might miss this episode!

John & John reunite for the first time in months, and unfortunately the first topic they have to discuss is something no one wanted to be talking about: the incredibly tragic and sudden news of PAC passing away. That's right at the start so wanted to make sure I noted it for anyone listening who isn't ready to hear that sort of thing- it does come up a few more times in the episode as well. RIP to an incredible professional wrestler and, by all accounts, an even more incredible man. They then have to make an awkward transition over to discussing the imminent closing of an iconic Japanese wrestling venue, Shinjuku FACE, as John takes you through some of their own personal history with the venue and talks about how much they're going to miss banging their head on the bathroom ceiling, ahead of discussing a bunch of final FACE shows later in the episode. But first they head over to the thankfully not closing Korakuen Hall to discuss the finals of an eventful AJPW Oudou Tournament, discussing the first of two bonafide MOTYCs, a homegrown wrestler finally winning the big one, and more. They also look ahead to an upcoming AJPW tour that really spreads the wealth around a bunch of different shows, so to speak. Then it's over to the King of Sports to discuss a somewhat underwhelming Destruction in Kobe show, at least until a fantastic main event saved it somewhat. There's lots of speculation about where things might be headed into Wrestle Kingdom season too, as they look ahead first to the upcoming King of Pro Wrestling show (and two Korakuen title matches as well). And then they finally get to the whole load of final shows for each promotion at iconic venues, starting with DDT (maybe the promotion most synonymous with the venue of all!). They discuss a final title challenge, Daisuke Sasaki's incredibly high memorabilia valuation, and more! Afterward it's time to finally leave the men's wrestling behind and shift into joshi, first with Sareee-ism Chapter XII, a fantastic show with another bonafide MOTYC in the main event. Then they discuss the final Sendai Girls show from FACE which featured a big debut and John Bivins describing how much he loves Spike Nishimura. John (Original) then goes it alone for two more show reviews, first the final TJPW show from FACE that also serves as their go home show for the big Wrestle Princess VII event next week (which they also dutifully preview). Finally, they wrap things up with another Ice Ribbon review, this time the second half of a doubleheader from Yokohama. A packed episode!!

Join Rich and special guest Warren Hayes for a two-hour recap and review of the AEW ALL OUT 2026 PPV.

A selection of under-the-radar matches from PAC's vast catalogue of brilliant matches that spanned across the globe.

ROH on HonorClub #185 was a good show that seemed focused, and the underdogs and the top dogs really played their parts well. 

PAC left a legacy that influenced his own and subsequent generations that pushed wrestling and high-flying in a more aggressive direction.

On the latest episode of the Gentlemen’s Wrestling Podcast, host Jesse Collings speaks briefly about the coverage of a recent Janel Grant interview by Fightful and F4WOnline, why the headlines they used were inappropriate, how their irresponsible practices help soften the perception of Vince McMahon’s actions towards Janel Grant and the frustration of wrestling media’s inability to cover the Janel Grant case correctly despite having four years to get it right.
