Shane and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room to take stock of the wrestling world as we pass the halfway point of 2026.Recent reports suggest that if WWE's television ratings continue to slide over the next couple of years, TKO President Mark Shapiro and company could begin putting real pressure on Triple H and Nick Khan heading into 2028. With Premium Live Event business remaining strong but Raw's year-on-year ratings declining, the lads ask whether WWE has a genuine problem on its hands, or if the concern is being overstated.From there, the conversation widens to the rest of the wrestling landscape.How has AEW fared in 2026? Has the company found its footing again, and where does it stand compared to WWE? The lads also discuss New Japan following its recent sale to TV Asahi, the current health of TNA, AAA, CMLL and MLW, before turning their attention closer to home.Is the European independent scene beginning to build momentum once again, and could we be on the verge of another wrestling boom similar to the one that transformed the industry during the 2010s?A wide-ranging discussion on the present and future of professional wrestling, from the biggest companies in the world to the promotions helping shape its next generation.Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for 24/7 wrestling chat and to suggest future podcast topics: https://discord.gg/Tkb6mHFqN

This week, the Draw Bucks are (unfortunately) joined by El Hijo Del Morro for Part 2 as the lads try to answer one of wrestling's toughest questions: who was the most underpushed wrestler of all time?The discussion starts with the obvious names but quickly gets complicated. Can someone like Vader really be considered underpushed despite winning world championships? What about Dusty Rhodes, whose influence far outweighed his WWE success?The lads make passionate cases for wrestlers such as Christian Cage, Chad Gable, Brian Pillman, and plenty more, while once again struggling to agree on what "underpushed" actually means.As ever, the debate takes a few unexpected turns... before a late run-in changes the dynamic entirely.Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for 24/7 wrestling chat, future podcast topics and plenty of wrestling debate:

This week's topic comes from Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show listener Adam Redmond, who suggested a debate around one of wrestling's most divisive subjects: overpushed wrestlers.With recent discussion surrounding Cody Rhodes, Shane and Morro ask a simple question that's anything but easy to answer: what does "overpushed" actually mean?Is it someone who wins too often? A wrestler consistently placed above more deserving talent? Or is it simply a case of fan perception?As always, the parameters quickly disappear.The lads each reveal their top three most overpushed wrestlers of all time, leading to debates around names like Roman Reigns, Triple H, Kevin Nash, the McMahon family, and the role of on-screen authority figures throughout wrestling history.As you'd expect, plenty of tangents follow.This is Part 1 of a two-part discussion. Next week, the pendulum swings the other way as the lads look at the most underpushed wrestlers in wrestling history.Got a topic you'd like us to cover?
