Wrestling Night in Canada 044: Last Mags Standing

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2022/03/22

It’s that time again. In our hot little fists we hold what we know to be the latest issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. PWI is one of the last pro wrasslin’ magazines on the shelf. The year end awards issues are still a big deal around the WNIC offices. And what is now tradition we put ourselves to the test in trying to guess the winners in each category. These...

2022/03/02

This episode of WNIC, it’s the Battle Of The Big Men! Pro wrasslin’ is one of the few areas of entertainment where being a “Fat, out of shape” (Thank you, Rick Rude) individual could be advantageous. But just being big doesn’t always work. One still needs the fundamentals of wrestling as well. Some big men have excelled. While others…not so much. So this week we examine both sides. For every...

Wrestling Night in Canada 042: The Royal Fumble

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2022/02/16

The Royal Rumble is THE WWE event for us ’round here at the WNIC offices. We eagerly anticipate it and it always delivers the goods. Except this year! Between the terrible booking and predictable results, the 2022 Rumble got the Horns Down! In contrast, Game Changer Wrestling present their first official (traditional) PPV and appearance at the hallowed halls of The Hammerstein. An absolute humdinger of a show that still...

2022/01/11

All things considered, we at WNIC hope everyone had a fantastic 2021… anyway. The year had both highs and lows in, out and around the squared circle. We want to put our own barbwire bow on the year that was with our now annual Wrestling Night In Canada Awards. Basically, we sat down, cracked open a couple of bevvies and shared our picks in key categories most important to wrasslin’...

Wrestling Night in Canada 040: Fandoms Of The Ring

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/12/15

Going back to the 50s, the faces of the “Humanoids” with their “Butts in Seats” surrounding the squared circle changed with every decade. Going from a predominantly adult male audience to families to bandwagon fans back to predominantly adult male. From packed arenas to all time low ratings. Your hosts have hailed from two of these distinct eras, so we had a great time going through the “marks” in the... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 040: Fandoms Of The Ring

Wrestling Night in Canada 039: The PWI 500

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/11/21

Wow! How time flies. Believe it or not, the annual Pro wrestling Illustrated “PWI 500” is officially on the other side of 30 years now. It felt like yesterday when we cracked open that first edition, stoked to see who rounded out the Top Ten and where are fave indy wrasslers placed. Of course as the years progressed we resigned ourselves to the fact that since PWI was a mark... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 039: The PWI 500 appeared first on Shining Wizards Network.

Wrestling Night in Canada 038: Conryisms

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/10/28

Throughout his long, illustrious career, Jim Cornette was always in the thick of it. Wether it was managing in the NWA and WWF, running his own promotions (Smoky Mountain and Ohio Valley) or causing controversy in the broadcast booth. Now long retired, Cornette is still making waves on his hugely popular set of podcasts. Part of that success is his inability to hold his tongue and give his valuable 2cents....

Wrestling Night in Canada 037: “Regular Rules”

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/10/14

I guess we really are living PG 13 in Mcmahonland. We knew going into the “Extreme Rules” PPV that we were going to get a watered down version. But not a totally neutered event with nothing that makes this anything more than any other. So with that we dove into the “Regular Rules” special event. More importantly, we give the once over to the last couple of “Dark Side of... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 037: “Regular Rules” appeared first on Shining

Wrestling Night in Canada 036: Vinceisms

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/09/30

Sometimes we just don’t know what goes thru old Vinny Mac’s head. A whole new batch of “Vinceisms” have been unleashed, seemingly to terrorize his broadcast teams. Maybe it’s the stockholders. Maybe it’s The (Pea) Cock! Or maybe the rumours are true and vince has just lost his mind. But this latest batch of naughty words has us scratching our heads. “Blood”(!) “Belt/strap” (!!) “Wrestler/Wresling” (?!!?) Ok, vince, let’s

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/09/09

Sometimes all it takes to get the wrasslin’ world fired up is one good promo. And the return of some key players. The return of CMPunk on AEW was a huge success. The WWE counter-programmed with there turn of Brock Lesnar and Becky Lynch. We dive into all this with our SummerSlam/TakeOver reviews. And ask ourselves if all this will actually move the needle or not. Horns crossed. In our... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 035: Good 2 Bad appeared first on Shining Wizards Network.

2021/08/23

We’re a little late getting this episode out. But nonetheless, we’ve got a cavalcade of chaos and myriad of madness to share. We go over all of vince’s recent “future endeavours”, The Matt Cardona/”mud show” controversies, and pay tribute to some of our fallen warriors. Most importantly, in our “Turnbuckle Talk”, we discuss the passing of “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton. With his work in the Midnight Express and The Dangerous Alliance,... The

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/07/28

A great hero is only as good as it’s evil adversary. Recently the wrestling world mourned the loss of Paul Orndorff. “Mr. Wonderful” was/is one of the all time greats. He won his share of titles and headlined cards through out the territories. But Orndorff will always be one of the great heels that fuelled “Hulkamania” and drew record crowds as the then WWF steamrolled into national expansion. So this...

In the Marvel comic book world, the series “What If?” was a unique title asking what would happen if a certain significant event never happened. The Wonderful World of Professional Wrestling its own significant events that helped shape and mold what we enjoy today.

Wrestling Night in Canada 030: Play That Funky Music

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/06/09

In today’s pro wrestling world, ring entrance music’s making up a good portion of a wrestler’s identity. At one point it was a rarity. Now with such a strong emphasis on the televised presentation, every wrestler/faction has its own music as they strut their stuff to the ring. It can be very effective. But sometimes not so much. Music has always been subjective though. So for this episode’s “Turnbuckle Talk”,... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 030: Play That

The new season of “The Dark Side Of The Ring” is off and running. At this writing, we’re three episodes in with the life and death of Brian Pillman and the violent world of Nick Gage. So it’s a good opportunity to share our thoughts so far. Which also gives way to this episode’s “Turnbuckle Talk”. “Flyin” Brian Pillman has gone down in infamy for al the wrong reasons. But...

Wrestling Night in Canada 028: More Horsemen

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/05/14

The original NWA Four Horsemen were the epitome of the wrestling “faction”. The idea was to bring together the top heels of the territory with the same philosophy. For the first few years, it was pure mat magic. But as Crockett promotions began to give way to WCW, the magic fizzled. More and more new members were added that just didn’t first the mold. Almost tragic considering the amount of... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 028: More Horsemen appeared first on Shining Wizards

‘Mania might be in the rearview mirror but there’s still plenty to discuss. And we have a rather unique interview as well. “Nasty Ronnie” is most noted for being the vocalist of legendary heavy metal band Nasty Savage. Old time wrestling fans though will remember him from his days in the 80s Florida territories. He brought his outrageous stage antics to the squared circle when he was discovered by none...

Wrestling Night in Canada – Shining Wizards Network ·

2021/04/07

Wrestlemania is upon us once again. This time of year always seems to get the fan juices flowing as everything starts falling into place. The build up and match announcements. The behind the scenes shenanigans. The Tuesday morning booking. And, of course, the WWE Hall Of Fame. The validity of the HOF can’t really be debated. It’s basically just programming for the Network leading up to the Big Event. But... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 026: Hall of Shame appeared first on Shining

2021/03/19

Jim Crockett Jr.’s reputation for being an all time mover and shakers in the wrasslin’ world cannot be denied. He was the head honcho at JCP (Jim Crockett Promotions, as in senior) for many years. Mr. Crockett took the regional Mid Atlantic territory and brought it the national prominence that would become Dubya – C – Dubya. So with his recent passing we chose to discuss some of the highlights... The post Wrestling Night in Canada 025: Big Jim Jr. appeared first on Shining
