WrestleRant Radio

There is arguably no better way to get hyped for WrestleMania season than to jam out to old 'Mania theme songs, and everything from "My Way" by Limp Bizkit to "Celebrate" by Kid Rock is covered in this super special TWO HOUR episode of WrestleRant Radio with Graham "GSM" Matthews and Jamie Lee Mac! The die-hard wrestling and music aficionados are discussing what they believe to be the best WrestleMania theme song of all-time is and why they're so important to the success of a show, how WrestleMania 17 was the end of an era in many ways, why some of the installments from the early 2000s are underrated, and how WrestleMania 21 formed the foundation for the future of the company.

Their trip down WrestleMania memory lane doesn't end there, though! They're talking what bands wrestling got them into (largely thanks to the Show of Shows), celebrity involvement and which artists deserve a WWE Hall of Fame nod, certain songs being edited off the WWE Network, which WrestleMania themes were most befitting of the event, WrestleMania 29 being a massive disappointment, where WrestleMania 30 ranks among the most memorable installments ever, and much more!

Will this week end up going down as one of the exciting in recent wrestling history?! YES! YES! YES! Two years removed from his heartbreaking in-ring retirement, Daniel Bryan has been cleared to compete by WWE, and joining Graham "GSM" Matthews on the latest WrestleRant to talk all about it is one of the biggest Bryan fans out there. They go in-depth with their respective reactions to the shocking news, what this could mean for Superstars and other athletes with history of concussions, when and what Bryan's first bout back might be, how he should be used moving forward as either a full-time or part-time competitor, potential opponents for him (and an interesting idea for a faction), his future with WWE, and so much more.

And that's not all! They delve into a plethora of other topics in the second half of the show including the build to John Cena vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34 and what can be done to salvage it, Ultimate Deletion and why Bray Wyatt should be repackaged coming out of it, "Woken" Matt Hardy's WrestleMania role, current expectations for WrestleMania and whether it could wind up being one of the strongest shows in the event's illustrious history, how Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns is shaping up to be a blockbuster at The Show of Shows, and if they plan to be in attendance for WrestleMania in New Jersey/New York next year!

With WWE Fastlane 2018 officially in the books, all eyes are on WrestleMania 34 weekend and how it's currently shaping up to be one for the ages! Graham "GSM" Matthews kicks off the hour on WrestleRant Radio with his brief thoughts on Kid Rock entering the WWE Hall of Fame and Jeff Hardy's recent arrest (and how it might affect his in-ring return) before getting into his review of Ring of Honor's 16th Anniversary Show from last Friday night. What surprise appearances and title changes made it a newsworthy night?

That wasn't the only pay-per-view to take place in the last week, however, as Fastlane on Sunday set the stage for WrestleMania quite nicely. GSM discusses how the event exceeded expectations, the announcement of the Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal and why the glorification of the former women's champion needs to die, Randy Orton winning his first United States Championship, Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey not appearing as advertised on Raw, Braun Strowman entering the Raw Tag Team Championship picture, John Cena challenging The Undertaker to a match at 'Mania, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn destroying Shane McMahon, Cedric Alexander and Roderick Strong contesting a classic on 205 Live, and much more!

With one more month to go until WrestleMania 34, Graham "GSM" Matthews continues the countdown on WrestleRant Radio with his FULL PREDICTIONS for WWE's final pit stop on the road to the Show of Shows: Sunday's Fastlane event! In addition to previewing the pay-per-view, he's giving his picks for ROH's 16th Anniversary Show on Friday night and talking injury updates on Rey Mysterio and Bobby Fish, rumors of Alberto Del Rio potentially being brought back by WWE and why it would be a massive mistake, Hillbilly Jim being announced for the WWE Hall of Fame, and All In emanating from Chicago this September.

GSM also reviews Raw, SmackDown Live and 205 Live from this past week and offer his two cents on the WrestleMania card taking shape, why "Woken" Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt should form a tag team, The Bar's WrestleMania opponents, the bizarre John Cena and Goldust segment, Sasha Banks and Bayley teasing tension once again, Sami Zayn "turning" on Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss' interesting relationship, the conclusion of the quarterfinals in the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, the Cruiserweight division reportedly getting tag team titles, and much more!

Graham "GSM" Matthews kicks off the month of March with another jam-packed edition of WrestleRant Radio! He's giving his two cents on WWE's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view and how it further shaped Raw's road to WrestleMania 34, the excellent women's Elimination Chamber match, the next challengers to The Bar's Raw Tag Team Championship, how the Bray Wyatt vs. "Woken" Matt Hardy feud can be salvaged, Asuka vs. Nia Jax exceeding expectations, Ronda Rousey's contract signing and why she'll eventually need a mouthpiece, Roman Reigns' Chamber win and "worked shoot" promo on Raw, and why Braun Strowman should be a bigger priority at 'Mania.

Plus, GSM offers updates on the WWE statuses of Bobby Lashley and Kane before talking rumors of Rey Mysterio returning to face John Cena at WrestleMania (and why it's a better alternative to Cena vs. The Undertaker), when we can expect to possibly see Jeff Hardy back in action, The Usos and The New Day killing it in a promo on SmackDown Live, WWE and Neville resuming talks about a comeback, Keith Lee and WALTER reportedly being offered deals, and much more!

Ahead of Elimination Chamber 2018 this Sunday, Graham "GSM" Matthews welcomes Colin Ginter to WrestleRant Radio to preview the pay-per-view!

From there, listen to the duo discuss "Woken" Matt Hardy's WWE run so far and what can be done to fix the character, if Asuka's undefeated streak is in jeopardy and where Nia Jax will fit into the WrestleMania 34 card, the first-ever women's Elimination Chamber match and who else but Alexa Bliss could realistically win it, what the main event of WrestleMania this year should be, Braun Strowman vs. The Miz, Elias' WrestleMania role, what Finn Balor should be involved in coming out of Elimination Chamber, what we should expect from Ronda Rousey's contract signing, and much more!

It was nothing short of a newsworthy week in the world of wrestling, and Graham "GSM" Matthews wastes no time in breaking it all down! He spends some time discussing the pros and cons of WWE possibly wanting to do away with dual-branded pay-per-views before talking about Jeff Jarrett being rumored for the WWE Hall of Fame, James Storm's future with WWE/NXT, which Superstars signed new multi-year deals, an update on Rey Mysterio returning to WWE, who Paul Heyman might be paired with post-WrestleMania 34, WWE signing Mahabali Shera from IMPACT, why Will Ospreay turned down a WWE contract, Emma joining Ring of Honor, Ronda Rousey appearing at Elimination Chamber, and Rich Swann's release from the company.
