Wrestling Night in Canada 070: Derockle
February 27, 2024 03:08 - 63.9 MBIts that time again! Growing up, the “Apter Mags” were a huge part of our wrestling fandom. We ran to the newsstand every month for our literary wrasslin’ fix. And the Pro Wrestling Illustrated “Achievement Awards” were always our fave issues. Yes, the Apters were kayfabe mags and the validity of the awards were suspect. But its always a good read comparing our choices with our fellow “fan votes”. So... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 070: Derockle appeared first on Shining Wizards Netwo...

Wrestling Night in Canada 066: “Movie Mayhem”
December 23, 2023 01:44 - 57.9 MBProfessional wrestling is a (pre determined) athletic competition. But part of the show is the certain amount of showmanship that goes into “talking them into the building”. So the skillset(s) of pro wrestlers would certainly lend themselves to other areas of entrrtainment. Namely the vast amounts of times wrestlers have graced the silver screen. A lot of ventures were less than memorable. But there were a few roles worth writing... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 066: “Movie Mayhem” app...

Wrestling Night in Canada 052: A Plus Episode
October 07, 2022 11:02 - 41.8 MBThe fall out from All Out grabbed a majority of the headlines and attention.

Wrestling Night in Canada 051: “Fall Out”
September 20, 2022 10:19 - 62.2 MBWhoa! AEW just put on a helluva show with the “All Out” PPV. Unfortunately, it’s not the great matches that will go down in history. Right after the show and the usual media scrum, the fit hit the shan. But we had pressed “Stop” before the fall out of CM Punk’s controversial statements were made public. What we did get definitely makes for a memorable discussion. We also go over... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 051: “Fall Out” appeared first on Shining Wizards Network.
Wrestling Night in Canada 050: Backin’ Up Our Big Mouths
September 06, 2022 19:22 - 60.9 MBOne thing we’ve never been accused of is not having a big mouth. When it’s warranted we can be quite critical of our beloved sport. Particularly when it comes to the WWF/E. But now with the retirement of vince and son in law Triple H in the creative head honcho chair, we’re optimistic for the future. So this week’s “Turnbuckle Talk” we decided to put our money where our mouths... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 050: Backin’ Up Our Big Mouths appeared first on Shining Wizards Network.
Wrestling Night in Canada 049: “You’re… Retired!!”
August 05, 2022 12:42 - 87.1 MBThe number one issue within the Wrasslin’ World is the retirement of Vince MacMahon. Recent sex scandals aside, Vinnie Mac has always been a controversial, and polarizing, figure. Fans that discovered pro wrestling with the WWF/E can have a favourable opinion of him. While the more old schoolers see him as the Devil Incarnate, destroying the once great sport of wrestling. Our Mom’s always said “Don’t speak ill of the...

Wrestling Night in Canada 048: Secondary Title??!!
July 16, 2022 02:28 - 77.2 MBSorry folks, a little late in getting this episode up. But it’s worth the wait. The World title in any organization is the top prize.

May 29, 2022 03:54 - 50.9 MBInterest in women competing in the Squared Circle is at an all time high. Sparked by the Women’s Revolution, every major organization now has a strong roster of female athletes. More importantly, they’re being featured high atop the card now. It wasn’t always like this.

Wrestling Night in Canada 046: Jumping The Shark
May 06, 2022 10:35 - 50.3 MBThere’s an old adage – “All good things must come to an end”. Unfortunately, this is all too true for the Wonderful World of Pro Wrestling. Ever since the national expansion, a number of major, thriving territories and federations have packed up their rings and went home. The demise of these didn’t exactly happen overnight. It was a gradual process from an exact moment where the league “jumped the shark”.... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 046: Jumping The Shark appeared first on Shining...
Wrestling Night in Canada 045: Talking the Razor’s Edge
April 01, 2022 12:43 - 68.6 MBEven though it’s ‘Mania weekend, the most important story in wrassling is Scott Hall. We recently lost “one of the all time greats” (Thank you, Billy Red Lyons) with the passing of Hall. Scott Hall’s impact and importance on our beloved sport cannot be disputed.

March 02, 2022 12:10 - 66.1 MBThis episode of WNIC, it’s the Battle Of The Big Men! Pro wrasslin’ is one of the few areas of entertainment where being a “Fat, out of shape” (Thank you, Rick Rude) individual could be advantageous. But just being big doesn’t always work. One still needs the fundamentals of wrestling as well. Some big men have excelled. While others…not so much. So this week we examine both sides. For every...

February 16, 2022 01:20 - 63.2 MBThe Royal Rumble is THE WWE event for us ’round here at the WNIC offices. We eagerly anticipate it and it always delivers the goods. Except this year! Between the terrible booking and predictable results, the 2022 Rumble got the Horns Down!

December 15, 2021 12:07 - 5 MBGoing back to the 50s, the faces of the “Humanoids” with their “Butts in Seats” surrounding the squared circle changed with every decade. Going from a predominantly adult male audience to families to bandwagon fans back to predominantly adult male. From packed arenas to all time low ratings.

November 21, 2021 22:44 - 55.1 MBWow! How time flies. Believe it or not, the annual Pro wrestling Illustrated “PWI 500” is officially on the other side of 30 years now.

Wrestling Night in Canada 038: Conryisms
October 28, 2021 02:15 - 42 MBThroughout his long, illustrious career, Jim Cornette was always in the thick of it. Wether it was managing in the NWA and WWF, running his own promotions (Smoky Mountain and Ohio Valley) or causing controversy in the broadcast booth. Now long retired, Cornette is still making waves on his hugely popular set of podcasts. Part of that success is his inability to hold his tongue and give his valuable 2cents....

Wrestling Night in Canada 037: “Regular Rules”
October 14, 2021 20:25 - 5 MBI guess we really are living PG 13 in Mcmahonland. We knew going into the “Extreme Rules” PPV that we were going to get a watered down version. But not a totally neutered event with nothing that makes this anything more than any other. So with that we dove into the “Regular Rules” special event. More importantly, we give the once over to the last couple of “Dark Side of... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 037: “Regular Rules” appeared first on Shining Wizards Network.
Wrestling Night in Canada 036: Vinceisms
September 30, 2021 02:44 - 5 MBSometimes we just don’t know what goes thru old Vinny Mac’s head. A whole new batch of “Vinceisms” have been unleashed, seemingly to terrorize his broadcast teams. Maybe it’s the stockholders. Maybe it’s The (Pea) Cock! Or maybe the rumours are true and vince has just lost his mind. But this latest batch of naughty words has us scratching our heads. “Blood”(!) “Belt/strap” (!!) “Wrestler/Wresling” (?!!?) Ok, vince, let’s get...

Wrestling Night in Canada 030: Play That Funky Music
June 09, 2021 18:10 - 5 MBIn today’s pro wrestling world, ring entrance music’s making up a good portion of a wrestler’s identity. At one point it was a rarity. Now with such a strong emphasis on the televised presentation, every wrestler/faction has its own music as they strut their stuff to the ring. It can be very effective. But sometimes not so much. Music has always been subjective though. So for this episode’s “Turnbuckle Talk”,... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 030: Play That Funky Music appeared first on...

Wrestling Night in Canada 028: More Horsemen
May 14, 2021 11:35 - 5 MBThe original NWA Four Horsemen were the epitome of the wrestling “faction”. The idea was to bring together the top heels of the territory with the same philosophy. For the first few years, it was pure mat magic. But as Crockett promotions began to give way to WCW, the magic fizzled. More and more new members were added that just didn’t first the mold.

April 07, 2021 11:58 - 5 MBWrestlemania is upon us once again. This time of year always seems to get the fan juices flowing as everything starts falling into place. The build up and match announcements. The behind the scenes shenanigans. The Tuesday morning booking. And, of course, the WWE Hall Of Fame. The validity of the HOF can’t really be debated.

Wrestling Night in Canada 025: Big Jim Jr.
March 19, 2021 11:38 - 5 MBJim Crockett Jr.’s reputation for being an all time mover and shakers in the wrasslin’ world cannot be denied.
