Do you remember where you were when Shane McMahon appeared on Monday Nitro? Do you remember the excitement of seeing WCW and ECW stars on WWF television for the first time?

The WWE Invasion was a time of dream matches and "what ifs." It was a storyline that, for all its flaws, created some of the most memorable moments of the era. From Rob Van Dam's incredible Hardcore Championship win to the jaw-dropping conclusion of the "Inaugural Brawl," it was a night that had us all talking.

If you want to relive that chaotic and exciting time in wrestling history, then you need to check out our latest episode of Legends and Champions.

The best/worst weekend for being a wrestling fan in 2025 is coming our way, as between the two big North American companies, they look to monopolize every waking hour this weekend with some sort of Premium content.

AEW's biggest show of the year, ALL IN: Texas, is shaping up to be just that. With some major feuds coming to a head, The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer joins Mike McGuire to go over the card, including mega matches like Toni Storm v. Mercedes Mone, Jon Moxley v. Adam Page, and the turning it back match of Okada v. Omega among others! Plus, in what will likely be the biggest spectacle of the weekend, Bill Goldberg looks to retire as WWE World Heavyweight Champion against Gunther in Goldberg's hometown of Atlanta, GA. Will this match be what everyone is talking about on Monday? What of WWE Evolution 2 and the NXT Great American Bash? Ring of Honor's PPV as well? Will these be sleeper shows among fans, or are they doomed due to their surroundings?

Plus, an exciting announcement involving our friend Joe Aguinaldo, and the return of a missing Celebrate Wrestling Podcast!

If you listen to one podcast on this feed this year, make it this one. Sage "Mo" Morin presents as a proud Indigenous woman who wrestles across Canada and beyond. That is just the past 3 years of her story though.

Behind "The Matriarch", the proud Cree Warrior that comes to the ring in traditional influenced gear and rocks to the ring to Halluci Nation's "Electric Pow Wow" is a loving mother who has endured the challenges of growing up in Canada during a journey of reconciliation. That is a challenge shared by millions, but would only be exacerbated later in her life, as she and her family would suffer a level of tragedy that few may ever understand.

Listener discretion is advised, as this conversation includes topics that may be disturbing to some.
