Shaz and Morro sit down for adiscussion on the state of championship titles in modern wrestling and whether they still carry the prestige they once did.

With WWE, AEW and NJPW all featuring an ever-growing list of championships, the lads look at how title saturation has changed the way fans view gold. Are world titles still the ultimate prize, or have they been diluted? Does having multiple top titles help storytelling, or does it make wins feel less meaningful?

The four-man booth is back for the first podcast of the year as Shaz, Morro, Dunphy and Johnny Morts sit down to do what wrestling fans love most — try to predict WrestleMania 41.

From possible Royal Rumble winners to where the biggest names on the roster might land, the lads break down every major question heading into Mania season. Will Cody Rhodes and CM Punk still be champions by the time WrestleMania rolls around, and who could realistically stand across the ring from them? Where do rising names like Stephanie Vaquer and Jade Cargill fit into the biggest show of the year?

There’s also plenty of discussion around the secondary titles, with Carmelo Hayes and Dominik Mysterio holding gold, and whether those championships can develop stories worthy of the WrestleMania stage. The lads also look at the chances of the tag team titles finally getting meaningful space on the card, with teams like the Usos, Kabuki Warriors and Wyatt Sicks in the mix.

Gunther’s role looms large as well — does his WrestleMania match change someone’s career forever? As always, there’s speculation, disagreement, overthinking, and probably far too much booking. It might be our favourite podcast we’ve ever done — and if not, it’s at least our favourite of the year so far.

In the final episode of 2025, Shane and Morro sit down in Shane’s Gorilla Room, named after the late Gorilla Monsoon, to take stock of a year that didn’t go the way many expected.

Some wrestlers entered 2025 with serious momentum and came out of it stalled, injured, or quietly drifting. From Bayley and Jacob Fatu to long injury layoffs affecting Chad Gable and Will Ospreay, the lads look at how quickly things can change in modern wrestling. They also dig into the bigger questions around CM Punk’s year, WWE’s creative direction, and whether NJPW ever really found its footing in 2025.

It’s not just about who cooled off. Shane and Morro also look ahead, asking who might be perfectly placed for a strong return in 2026, and what actually turns a bad year around in wrestling.

This episode closes out 2025 for the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show and marks hitting 3,000 subscribers. Thanks to everyone who tuned in, argued in the comments, and helped the channel grow this year.

The four–man booth returns as Shaz, Morro, Johnny the Beast Mortos, and Dunphy dig into one of wrestling’s strangest corners: the gimmicks and storylines that nearly made it to TV… but didn’t.
