WrestleRant Radio

It's an exciting time to be a wrestling fan at the moment with Elimination Chamber, WrestleMania 30 and the launch of the WWE Network all drawing near, and this week's WrestleRant Radio covers it all! Graham "GSM" Matthews is joined by avid wrestling fan Jacob Bloom and they kick off the show by discussing the rumors of Randy Orton turning heel and how inconsistently he has been booked over the last six months. They also discuss Christian's contract expiring later this year, Scott Hall potentially being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, the name changes for Cesaro and Big E, turmoil in TNA (really random albeit brief discussion!), and how the WWE Network will affect the WrestleMania 30 buyrate.

From there, it's a runaway train off the tracks as GSM and Jacob talk about a wide range of topics including Macho Man Randy Savage's omission from the Hall of Fame, Roman Reigns once The Shield splits, Cesaro's bright future, how John Cena has proved himself to be a great wrestler in recent years, why Daniel Bryan should win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust possibly not happening at WrestleMania 30, what the future holds for Brock Lesnar, Elimination Chamber predictions, and much more!

It's yet another jam-packed edition of WrestleRant Radio filled with news from the wrestling world! Graham "GSM" Matthews is joined by fellow Bleacher Report Featured Columnist Chris Mueller to discuss the return of Hulk Hogan to WWE and why he shouldn't wrestle at WrestleMania 30, who of The Real Americans should turn face, The Undertaker's next feud, Sting's potential role in WWE and why him as Raw General Manager wouldn't work, Kurt Angle possibly coming over to WWE once his TNA contract expires, Lita being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and facing AJ Lee at 'Mania, Naomi's unfortunate injury and if she'll win the Divas Championship sooner rather than later, and what new WWE title belt could be in the works.

Then, GSM and Chris delve into the Feb. 10 edition of Raw and talk about where Alberto Del Rio's feud with Batista is headed and if he should indeed leave WWE once his contract expires, Dean Ambrose's United States Championship reign and a match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan's mini-feud with Kane and when they should face off, Elimination Chamber predictions, and more thoughts on when CM Punk will return to the company.

It's the most epic edition of WrestleRant Radio yet as Graham "GSM" Matthews sits down with former WWE star Antonio "The Promise" Thomas in the first ever interview in the show's history! They discuss the origin of "The Promise" nickname, his partnership with longtime friend Romeo Roselli, his favorite country he has wrestled in, his favorite opponent to date and his dream opponent, thoughts on the current state of tag team wrestling, wrestling The New Age Outlaws in 2007 and why a stint in TNA never came to fruition, other goals and aspirations, and his final thoughts going into his title match at New England Championship Wrestling's Triple Threat Match this upcoming Saturday night.

Next, GSM gives his candid thoughts on CM Punk's shocking WWE departure and why it isn't a work, who is/was at fault in the situation, when to expect him back, quickly running down this week's brutally boring episode of Monday Night Raw, why the Elimination Chamber match has potential to be great, Antonio Cesaro's bright future, why splitting The Prime Time Players up was the wrong move, Emma's WWE debut, Dolph Ziggler's awesome backstage promo (that aired on the WWE APP of all places), Daniel Bryan's excellent match with Randy Orton, and much more!

We're baaaaack! WrestleRant Radio returns for the first time in 2014 with an electrifying episode that covers all the controversy from this week in wrestling! Graham "GSM" Matthews is joined by Kyle Hendrie and Jamie Lee Mac, both of whom guest hosted SAVE US GSM in the past, to break down the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. They discuss the move to put the WWE Tag Team Championships on The New Age Outlaws, a potential Cody Rhodes/Goldust feud, the original Sin Cara's issues with WWE, Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar dismantling Big Show, John Cena vs. Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Batista winning the 30-man Royal Rumble match and a reason why it shouldn't be seen as a disappointment.

Other topics of discussion include Sting coming over to WWE, predicting the card for Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 30, John Cena's pending feud with Bray Wyatt and if Cena would actually put him over on the grand stage, Daniel Bryan's rumored push, Batista turning heel, if the Rumble match should have been featured Christian, and more!

On the final episode of WrestleRant Radio (and on one of his favorite days of the year, no less), Graham "GSM" Matthews slams shut 2013 with the most electrifying edition to date! GSM kicks things off by revealing the results of the WWE/TNA Year in Review Awards poll, which featured categories such as Wrestler of the Year, Match of the Show, Shocker of the Year, Biggest Disappointment of the Year, Show of the Year, Women's Wrestler of the Year, and much more!

After that, it's time to review the WWE TLC pay-per-view! GSM gives his thoughts on CM Punk overcoming The Shield in a Handicap match and when we should expect to see The Shield split up, AJ Lee's apparent heat with Michelle Beadle and how it played into her Divas title defense against Natalya, the Rhodes brothers stealing the show yet again, the meaningless match between The Miz and Kofi Kingston, The Wyatt Family scoring a big win over Daniel Bryan, and Randy Orton becoming the inaugural WWE World Heavyweight Championship by defeating John Cena in a TLC match.

Finally, GSM reviews Raw one last time in 2013 by discussing the tag team division in WWE and how it is flourishing at the moment, Dolph Ziggler getting his win back over Fandango, the new alliance of Big E Langston and Mark Henry and whether it will lead to a feud between the two down the line, a random appearance by Shawn Michaels and his confrontation with CM Punk, Tamina Snuka knocking Nikki Bella's teeth right down her throat (literally) with a beautiful superkick, Daniel Bryan's awesome match with Randy Orton, and potential plans for a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at the Royal Rumble.

As Christmas nears, Graham "GSM" Matthews hosts another jam-packed episode of WrestleRant Radio! Among the first topics discussed is in regards to the rumors of a pending WWE Network. With the announcement of a new Network coming sooner rather than later, would you purchase it if it came to fruition with all that is being offered a part of it?

Also, GSM talks about the New England Championship Wrestling "Unwrapped" event he attended a few days prior with thoughts on the highly entertaining Johnny Vegas, "The Masshole" Mike McCarthy winning the NECW Television Championship from Johnny Thunder, the in-rind debut of "Diamondback" Jason Maverick, Scotty Slade and Mark Shurman putting their NECW Tag Team Championships up for grabs, and a star-studded main event pitting Slyck Wagner Brown, Antonio "The Promise" Thomas and "Asylum" Nick Shepard against Sean Burke, Jeremy Prophet and Genesis.

Then, it's Slammy Award time! GSM first runs down the night's list of Slammy Award winners and then gives his thoughts on the never-ending feud between The Miz and Kofi Kingston, the new team of Big Show and Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio suffering a concussion in a match with Sin Cara, Brodus Clay dismantling Xavier Woods and furthering his heel turn, and the unforgettable Championship Ascension Ceremony that closed the show.

Last by not least, GSM gives his predictions for the WWE TLC card, which will feature Dolph Ziggler vs. Fandango on the Kickoff show, AJ Lee vs. Natalya for the Divas Championship, Big E Langston vs. Damien Sandow for the Intercontinental Championship, Daniel Bryan vs. The Wyatt Family, CM Punk vs. The Shield, and John Cena vs. Randy Orton in a TLC match to determine the inaugural undisputed champion.

Graham "GSM" Matthews is back on WrestleRant Radio after a two week hiatus to talk about everything going down in the world of wrestling! Following his brief thoughts on the Survivor Series pay-per-view, GSM talks TNA with his thoughts on the golden Aces and Eights funeral from the Thanksgiving edition of Impact Wrestling and his prediction for who he will think will advance to the finals of the TNA title tournament.

In his review of the December 2 edition of Raw, GSM discusses CM Punk moving into a feud with The Authority, the feud between Xavier Woods and Brodus Clay and why a heel turn for Clay is long overdue, the repackaging of the Sin Cara character and where Alberto Del Rio goes from here, The Shield taking on Big Show, Cody Rhodes and Goldust in tag team action, the contract signing for the title unification match at WWE TLC and the pros and cons of having one world champion.
