WrestleRant Radio

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau get ready to rumble on the latest WrestleRant Radio with their candid picks and predictions for Sunday's Royal Rumble pay-per-view! But before that, current GFW Global Champion and former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Nick "Magnus" Aldis is back for Part 2 of our exclusive interview to talk whether management dropped the ball on him by turning him heel in late 2013, if English wrestlers have traditionally been held back in major American wrestling organizations, and if there was ever one point during his TNA tenure he thought it was time to leave.

Plus, he dishes out on the morale in the locker room toward the end of his stint there, his last TNA match with James Storm, their move to their new network Pop TV, if he's ever contemplated a run in WWE, if there's anyone on the wrestling scene today he'd be interested in working with, if there are any other endeavors he wishes to explore, and much more!

Stay tuned until the second half of the show for GSM and RJ previewing the Royal Rumble card including The New Day vs. The Usos for the WWE Tag Team Championship, Alberto Del Rio vs. Kalisto for the United States Championship, Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch for the Divas Championship, Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing match for the Intercontinental Championship, and of course the 30-man Royal Rumble match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

We're only two weeks into 2016 and WrestleRant Radio is no less loaded than usual! The first half of the episode features Part 1 of Graham "GSM" Matthews' exclusive interview with former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and current GFW Global Champion Nick "Magnus" Aldis and they talk all about his new book out on Amazon and why wrestling fans should check it out, how his time with Global Force Wrestling has been so far, his time in TNA's tag team division and if his tandems went as far as they could go, what it was like to be among legends such as Kurt Angle and Sting in the Main Event Mafia, if he felt his match with AJ Styles in 2013 was a turning point in his career, what it was like to become the first-ever British-born world heavyweight champion in a major American organization in over a century, and more!

Also, stay tuned until the final quarter of the show where GSM gives his two cents on Sting getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year and who else might have the honor of entering the prestigious hall, the Stone Cold Podcast with Ric Flair that aired on WWE Network, SmackDown's USA Network debut and praise for Mauro Ranallo on commentary, TNA's first show on Pop TV, Kalisto winning the United States Championship, and Brock Lesnar's Raw return.

It's a new year (yes it is!) on WrestleRant Radio, and what better way to ring in 2016 than by breaking down the rumors of AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson possibly heading to WWE? RJ Marceau returns to the show to join Graham "GSM" Matthews to recap the wild week in wrestling including those reports and what they might mean for the future of WWE and NXT, how Finn Balor and even The Authority could get involved, the Royal Rumble match now being for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, WrestleMania 32 plans, and SmackDown moving to USA Network this Thursday.

GSM and RJ also waste no time in reviewing Raw from Monday and give their thoughts on Kevin Owens and Neville putting on a clinic, the Divas Championship picture, The Wyatt Family's attacks on Ryback and Big Show, Heath Slater's new "Social Outcasts" group, why all hope might be lost for Dolph Ziggler in WWE, Chris Jericho's surprise return and who he might be feuding with going into WrestleMania, Roman Reigns' WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense against Sheamus, the predictability of the Rumble, and much more!

It's the final WrestleRant Radio of 2015, and Graham "GSM" Matthews is closing out the year with a bang! After giving an update on their "beast booking" in SmackDown vs. Raw 2007's General Manager Mode and giving their thoughts on WWE 2K16, GSM and a guest analyst review the results of the 2015 WWE/NXT Year in Review Awards, as voted on by YOU!

In this near hour-and-a-half spectacular, they break down the year in wrestling (and why it's been their favorite as fans) including the greatest matches, wrestlers, specials and feuds of the year, who the real women's wrestler of the year was, who had the most disappointing 2015, which newcomer made the biggest impact, the most electrifying return, what tandem took the tag team division by storm, who improved the most, what moment was the most shocking, and much more!

Thanks for the best year yet for WrestleRant Radio! We appreciate all the support you guys have shown for the show.

It's Christmas week on WrestleRant Radio! And as an early holiday treat, host Graham "GSM" Matthews airs his interview with former UFC fighter John Lewis to talk his role in the upcoming film "Check Point" (which hits theaters Memorial Day weekend 2016) as well as how he got involved with the film, his acting background, similarities and differences between acting and mixed martial arts, getting into character, his future in acting, and more!

From there, GSM gives his ranting thoughts on the trainwreck that was the 2015 Slammy Awards on Monday night including who should have won which award, Kane's random return and what's next for The Wyatt Family, Seth Rollins becoming Superstar of the Year, the Intercontinental Championship picture, John Cena coming back next week, and the Steel Cage main event between Sheamus and Dean Ambrose.

On a rare Wednesday episode of WrestleRant Radio, Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau break down the massive noteworthy week in wrestling, starting with Sunday's WWE TLC pay-per-view event that they were in attendance for in Boston! They talk about their awesome experience including the insane Ladder WWE Tag Team Championship match, Becky Lynch in the Divas Championship picture, the best and worst of the night, what Dean Ambrose's Intercontinental Championship victory means for him and Kevin Owens, how Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger exceeded expectations, and more!

Plus, wrestling fans were treated to an excellent edition of Raw on Monday night that saw Roman Reigns finally capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. How did the surprise title win affect GSM and RJ's early plans for WrestleMania 32? They give their thoughts on the show's hot conclusion as well as how Tyler Breeze has flopped on the main roster thus far, what's next for The Wyatt Family, the Divas division, and if Stephanie McMahon relentlessly slapping Reigns was necessary.

To top off the blockbuster episode, the duo discuss NXT TakeOver: London and its amazing championship matches, Stone Cold Steve Austin's latest WWE Network podcast with Shawn Michaels, worst NXT call-ups, the best wrestling shows they've ever attended, and a recap of the year of 2015 as a whole in wrestling!

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau are Boston bound for WWE TLC this Sunday, but first, they give their candid predictions for the pay-per-view on WrestleRant Radio! Not only that, but they offer their ranting thoughts on Monday's Raw including its poor format, Superstars pulling double duty, the exciting opener and why it was a breath of fresh air, why very few people feel special at the moment, and how the build for the pending PPV has been lousy.

That's not all, however, as the duo break down Sasha Banks and her place on the roster right now, The Lucha Dragons' win over The New Day, why 'Miz TV' with Charlotte, Ric Flair and Paige was confusing as all hell, the lack of direction for Jack Swagger, Rusev and others, how the WWE World Heavyweight Championship feud between Roman Reigns and Sheamus as fallen flat, and much more!
