Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and get ready for the BIGGEST Hullabaloo yet! Clocking in just shy of 3 hours, some of our favorite guests are back with ALL NEW conversations, as well as the annual Celebrate Wrestling roundtable!

BRET HITMAN HART - Our annual conversation with the Excellence of Execution, Bret and Mike talk about some big moments personally and professionally in the Hitman's life including a couple of biographies of old friends, and a historic landmark in his family's name among other things.

RJ CITY - Part of AEW's creative and production team, as well as the force behind the now concluded (and hilarious) "HEY! (EW)" series joins for another random conversation with one exception - Mike actually gets RJ to talk about his job (a little)! It's always a fun chat with RJ, and this one is no exception.

THE OLD F*CKS REUNITE! - Dan "The Mouth" Lovranski and Joe Aguinaldo reminisce on their days together as co-workers, co-podcasters, and face off in a game of "NWA Trivia" you can play along with!

POST WRESTLING'S JOHN POLLOCK - A "Live Audio Wrestling" original, this conversation on microphones is over 20 years in the making. Hear why it starts off with an apology, and continues with a conversation between a couple of media guys who just love wrestling. Find out about the life outside of wrestling from one of the Post Wrestling founders, watching wrestling in Canada as a kid, and much more in this wonderful chat.

THE CELEBRATE WRESTLING ROUNDTABLE - The drinks are out, the mics are questionable, but the conversation is like a Christmas party with friends - nerdy friends who all love talking about pro wrestling. Mike McGuire is joined by Dimitri Korolis and Mitch Hontzias, Joe Aguinaldo, and from all the way in the UK, Stefan Bennett let the conversation fly as only they can.

THIS SHOW IS PRESENTED WITHOUT COMMERCIAL BREAKS OR PROMOS!

Thank you for your support of Celebrate Wrestling - More to come over the holidays, and regular programming returns January 4th 2026!

It's the final regular show for 2025, and while it's tightly packed, we've got lots here for you!

While not "Pro wrestling", the Jake Paul/Anthony Joshua "match" that took place on the weekend has a lot of fans pointing fingers... but what about the three pointing back at ourselves? Celebrate Wrestling's Joe Aguinaldo joins Mike McGuire to talk about the "fight", the money, and who's REALLY to blame.

Plus, Dave Meltzer from The Wrestling Observer is back to talk all about some of the biggest stories and moments from 2025...

Finally, as we get ready to release the beast that is the Holiday Hullabaloo 3, you'll find out the guest list for this annual extravaganza!

Mike here - this week's ACT is going up almost completely raw for now, as I just landed at the airport! Do they say it? Don't they say it? WHO KNOWS?!!! Only one way to find out...

On this week's show, the boys let loose on John Cena's last match, the finish, and what's to come.

A new film which chronicles the life of Gertrude Elizabeth Vachon, known best to pro wrestling fans as Luna Vachon, has made its national premiere in Canada on HollywoodSuite.ca

The documentary, which nears two hours, is a heartfelt and harrowing story of one of the most dynamic and interesting pro wrestlers of her time.

Director, Filmmaker and Pro Wrestler, Kate Kroll, sought out to tell Luna's deeper story than what may already be known to some fans. From her family's groundbreaking influence in Canadian pro wrestling, to her own ahead-of-her-time presentation and style, Kate joins Celebrate Wrestling's Mike McGuire to talk about the process, the effort and the passion that went into making this film a reality.

To set the table, famed Author, historian, and journalist Greg Oliver joins the show to discuss his involvement. After being approached by Kroll, you'll hear how the story seemed to want to tell itself. With these two helping steer the ship, you may learn a little more about one of wrestling's most underrated women.

John Cena has wrestled his last match... ever. The Saturday Night's Main Event broadcast brought in some respectable numbers, some big name guests, and a LOT of money to WWE. The forever long debate begins as to whether or not it was the "right" way to finish off his historic career. We dive into that a bit with your feedback, and The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer also offers his thoughts.

Also this week, meet Kate Kroll - known to wrestling fans as "Calamity Kate", the established pro-wrestler is also the driving force behind "LUNATIC: The Luna Vachon Story". The documentary has seen some screentime at festivals in Canada and around the world, but will be making its broadcast debut this Tuesday, December 16 on "Hollywood Suite" - hollywoodsuite.ca

Hear a little from Kate about how this film came to be, and Associate Producer, Greg Oliver, who helped bring the stories together using his vast connections and experience. These interview hilights come from a full conversation that will post this week on the podcast feed.

Every successful wrestler is able to find a piece of themselves they are able to amp up and embellish. What if that element is something that could serve to their detriment?

Step into the mind of "The Sidewalk Savant", as he and Mike McGuire go through his career, and what some may find to be a unique mentality among his peers. Also, find out how a chance encounter and off the cuff comment between Sheldon and Mike turned into a deeper understanding of what Sheldon feels is his strongest - and most challenging trait.

After just a few years in the wrestling scene, Sheldon has gone on to work with and face some notable wrestlers, all while getting better every match. His natural gifts take him to places he never imagined, but all the while, he takes each match as an opportunity to get to the top of the card, and get to another level.

What started as an off-cuff conversation turned into one of the most prolific interviews of the year. You'll meet Ontario's Sheldon Jean... graduate of the CanAM Wrestling School in Windsor, Ontario. He's been in TNA, wrestled around the world, is heavily featured in Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, and continues to make a name for himself in his rising career.

In this MOW Independent Spotlight preview, you'll hear how Sheldon came from being a basketball star to finding his home in the ring - plus how a fine line between confidence and arrogance CAN be walked successfully. This is an interview you won't want to miss.

The final days of John Cena's active wrestling career are almost up, as this Saturday he hangs up the boots for good (?) in his final match against Gunther.

After comments on a late night talk show, hear why some fans are wondering WHEN EXACTLY Cena's last match will be, and what else to expect that night.

Plus, The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is here to explain the potential futures for TNA Wrestling and AEW as both companies had some major news revolving around their television and streaming carriers this week. He and Mike also discuss Cena's last match, Austin Theory, and much more in their weekly chat.

All that and much more - thank YOU for listening!
