This bonus episode is a proper treat as we sit down with two of our favourite British wrestlers, Skye Smitson and LA Taylor — collectively known as The Experience.

We chat about the first women’s Super Strong Style 16 tournament, bruises, merch mysteries, Cornish coat of arms translations, Luna Vachon inspiration, heel work, intergender wrestling, tag team chemistry, TNT, Progress, EVE, Nicolas Cage, and who would win in a Team Skye vs Team LA match....

Two brilliant wrestlers, one of the best tag teams in the UK, and an absolute joy from start to finish.

🎙️ WWE releases… again?!

Just one week later and we’re back talking about MORE WWE cuts, reported pay reductions, The New Day potentially leaving, CM Punk jokes, TKO greed, indie wrestling realities, and why wrestling fans should maybe stop blaming the talent for corporate nonsense.

In Episode 92 of the Groupchat Wrestling Podcast we dive into:

🔥 The New Day reportedly being done with WWE

🔥 Rumours of wrestlers being asked to take pay cuts

🔥 Why AEW can’t magically sign everybody

🔥 The brutal reality of indie wrestling finances

🔥 Why wrestling desperately needs a stronger third promotion

🔥 Leon Slater, GCW, Joey Janela & indie wrestling talk

🔥 CM Punk “50% pay cut” conspiracy jokes

🔥 Why TKO and billionaire culture are wrecking wrestling

Plus the usual chaos, rants, tangents and anti-Hulk Hogan agenda.

We break down the latest round of cuts, who we think lands where, and which names could actually come out BETTER from this. Because let’s be honest… sometimes getting released is the best thing that can happen.

We get into:

The full WWE releases and our honest reactions

Who could thrive on the indies, AEW, TNA or Japan

Why some names might be DONE at the top level

The grim reality of contracts, job losses, and fan reactions

Who we’d sign if we were running AEW right now

Plus:

The Wyatt 6 situation and WWE’s “legacy” efforts

Malakai Black debate (and why not everyone wants him back 👀)

Kairi Sane… HOW do you let her go?!

Motor City Machine Guns, Apollo Crews & more

Who actually wins after leaving WWE (no Cardona allowed 😅)

And as always… tangents, chaos, and probably a few opinions people won’t like.
