hane and Gherkins are back in the Gorilla Room talking about the wrestling tropes we’ve all seen a thousand times.Why does a referee get knocked out by one kick and stay unconscious for ten minutes? Why does every wrestling wedding inevitably end in disaster? Why do wrestlers insist on standing side-on when talking to someone on television?From wrestling clichés and ridiculous logic to tropes that somehow became part of the language of professional wrestling, the lads run through the things that make you say: “Why do they ALWAYS do that?”What wrestling trope drives you mad?Join the WFWS Discord: https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH

Shane and the Feral Horse Boy Morro are back in the Gorilla Room for the podcast built around one question: who changed professional wrestling?Following the incredible Will Ospreay vs Kenny Omega match at All In and the latest NJPW classic between Yuma Uemura and Oiwa, the lads look at the wrestlers, matches and companies that pushed wrestling in new directions — for better or worse.From Tiger Mask and the evolution of Japanese wrestling, to ECW, the nWo, WWF, Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Vince Russo and plenty more, Shane and Morro look at the people who set the trends that everyone else eventually followed.What makes someone a genuine trendsetter? Does changing wrestling always mean improving it? And which ideas completely changed the industry — even when they weren't necessarily good for it?This is a podcast about the evolution of professional wrestling, the people responsible for it, and the moments that changed what wrestling could be.Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for 24/7 wrestling chat:https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH

Shaz and the “Feral Horse Boy” Morro are back in the Gorilla Room to discuss one of the biggest questions facing WWE right now: what happens when wrestling starts looking too much like Moneyball?With WWE increasingly using data and analytics to assess its roster, how much should numbers influence who gets a new contract, who gets pushed and who gets left behind?The recent departure of Ilja Dragunov provides the perfect starting point. Dragunov's WWE contract expired this month, with reports suggesting WWE wanted to keep him but he ultimately chose not to renew.But can you really judge a wrestler purely through numbers when WWE itself creates the character, controls the presentation and decides how much television time they receive?If someone isn't drawing, is that the wrestler's fault or the company's?Shaz and Morro get into the problems with treating professional wrestlers like statistics, whether analytics can actually measure charisma and connection with an audience, and what WWE risks losing when the spreadsheet becomes more important than the performer.And, naturally, the conversation gets considerably more complicated than that.Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for 24/7 wrestling chat and future podcast suggestions:https://discord.com/invite/QJYEg4Rh5B

In this week's throwback to that dead pod Ciaran "Gherkins" Dunphy and El Hijo Del Morro do a deep dive into the extremely fun Dennis Rodman NWO run.

Shaz and Gherkins are back in the Gorilla Room discussing the disappearance of the larger-than-life gimmicks that once defined professional wrestling.Where are the Earthquakes, Typhoons, Hawks, Animals, Smashes, Axes and Ultimate Warriors of today? Why does it feel like so many wrestlers now simply have a first name and surname? And seriously... what is a Mason Rook?The lads look at whether wrestling has become too focused on presenting itself like a legitimate sport, despite the fact that professional wrestling has never really been one.They also discuss Danhausen as one of the rare modern examples of a genuinely outrageous character, and ask whether the days of completely ridiculous wrestling gimmicks are gone for good.Because we knew what a Vader was.What is a Mason Rook?Join the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord for 24/7 wrestling chat and future podcast suggestions:https://discord.com/invite/QJYEg4Rh5B
