The Groupchat Wrestling Podcast

This week we dive deep into AEW Full Gear, breaking down the matches, moments, and all the chaos from the show. Andy has a proper moan about some of the long-running booking inconsistencies in AEW — from Hangman’s reign to missed timing on pushes — and why he personally hasn’t felt the same buzz since All In.We also get into the Continental Classic, how it’s shaping up, who we fancy to win the blocks, and why Claudio is somehow in every tournament ever booked.And as always, we finish by answering your questions, rambling into tangents, and probably upsetting at least one fanbase along the way.Grab a brew, stick it on in the gym, on a walk, in the car… and enjoy another week of wrestling talk with the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast.🎧 Listen & Subscribe:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GWPodcastUK?sub_confirmation=1Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PjvtX5m2QG657MCBcS9isApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-groupchat-wrestling-podcast/id1758973539🐦 Connect With Us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/GWPodcastUKDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/YrfmfBepJMBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gwpodcastuk.bsky.social👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly wrestling chaos, AEW breakdowns, Progress dives, and moments that should not exist.🔥 Hashtags for the Algorithm 👇 #AEW #FullGear #AEWFullGear #AEWPodcast #ContinentalClassic #HangmanPage #TonyKhan #WrestlingPodcast #GroupchatWrestlingPodcast
