Wrestling Night in Canada 021: Dark Side of the Radio

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 020: Four More

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 019: 2020 – Goodbye, Farewell and Eff You!!

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…

Wrestling Night in Canada 018: Grinch McMahon

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…

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…
