Wrestling Night in Canada 017: “The Big Reveal”

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 016: Legendary Tales

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 015: “Eddie World Order”

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 014: Givin’ The Gears

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 013: We Just Made Our List!!

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 012: Roadies Forever!!

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 011: Title Changes

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 010: Deathamania

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 009: JerichRow

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 008: Always a Bridesmaid…

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 007: Speaking Out

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 006: A Hart On

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…
