Shane and Morro dive into one of the most important turning points in modern wrestling: the rise and fall of the indie boom.

From the explosion of BritWres to WWE’s NXT UK takeover, they trace how mainstream companies moved to control the scene — and what was lost in the process.

They also dig into AEW’s approach: signing up every indie darling in sight — does it help or hurt?

Is WWE still for the fans, or just for the shareholders?

Shane and Morro return for a deep dive into the current state of WWE under TKO. With dynamic pricing pushing tickets past €300, and SummerSlam’s elite package hitting $40,000, is the average fan being priced out?

They also discuss R-Truth and Carlito’s likely departures, the flood of celebrity appearances, and whether WWE’s obsession with premi...

Welcome to the debut episode of All Elite Morro.

One half of the so-called Old Bucks quietly breaks down AEW Double or Nothing 2025. And we mean quietly – Morro sounds like he’s afraid to wake the roommate, but that won’t stop him from sharing his passionate, slightly biased take on one of AEW’s biggest shows of the year.

He covers the madness of Anarchy in the Arena, the brilliance of Briscoe vs Ricochet, and a classic in Ospreay vs Hangman. If you like AEW, wrestling talk with a twist, and soft-spoken hot take...

After Morro’s bold claim that The Undertaker is overrated lit up the comments section, the heat didn’t stay online for long.

In this episode, former wrestler Conor Hurley, known in the ring as Mick Wall, joins Shane and Morro in-studio for a heated and passionate debate on The Deadman's legacy. Is The Undertaker truly one of the GOATs—or has his legend grown beyond his actual in-ring work?

Nothing is sacred as the boys also respond to controversial listener opinionss. Agree? Disagree? Either way, this one’s guaranteed to fire you up.

Johnny "The Beast" Mortos and one half of the Old Bucks, Shaz Beef, dive deep into the infamous WWF New Generation Era. What really went wrong in this often-memed time in wrestling history? From Vince McMahon’s obsession with gimmick-heavy characters like evil dentist Isaac Yankem and sinister plumber TL Hopper, to the fallout from the steroid trial that rocked the business—this episode breaks it all down.

On today's episode of The Old Bucks, Shane and Morro sit down to tackle the backlash from their brutally honest WrestleMania 41 review. Did they go too far? Are they just too negative as wrestling fans? Does Triple H have a point when he says, "Don't be a critic, be a fan"?

The lads also take a step back from the current product to reflect on what made them fall in love with wrestling in the first place.

Let us know your thoughts: are wrestling fans too critical, or is it fair to expect...

The Old Bucks — Shane and Morro — return for what might be the most defeated podcast episode yet, as they try to make sense of WrestleMania 41.

From John Cena's record-breaking 17th world title win to the baffling overuse of the word “Fein,” the lads are worn down, disheartened, and wondering aloud… are we just too old for this?

There were bright spots, but the fatigue is real. Has WWE become a meme-fueled corporate slop shop? Or are we simply not the target audience anymore?

This episode is part review, part therapy session —...

The Old Bucks, Shane and Morro, are back to break down all the chaos, controversy, and quality from AEW Dynasty. From the wild and debated ending to Swerve Strickland vs. Jon Moxley, to the packed card filled with highs and a few misfires.

Morro names who he believes is one of the best wrestlers in the world right now, and the lads debate whether AEW is finding the right balance between match quantity and quality. What hit? What missed? And does the ending of the main event help or hurt AEW moving forward?

...

Love him or hate him, Jim Cornette is one of wrestling’s most outspoken and influential voices. This week, The Old Bucks, Shane and Morro, take a deep dive into Cornette’s massively successful podcast empire, his takes on modern wrestling, and how his influence continues to shape the business.

Has Cornette’s old-school mentality helped keep wrestling grounded, or is he just shouting at clouds?

The lads also expand the conversation to the wider discourse of wrestling podcasts and fandom.

Get ready for some strong opinions and plenty of laughs...

On The Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show, we let fate decide—and when Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy) won our Fantasy Royal Rumble, we had no choice but to book the most compelling, twisted road to WrestleMania we could imagine.

Over four weeks of TV, a shocking Elimination Chamber moment, and another four weeks of chaos leading to WrestleMania, this story took on a life of its own.

A match soaked in history.

And at WrestleMania, it all came to a brutal and emotional conclusion.

The tinfoil hats are on as Shane, Morro, and John dive deep into the craziest, most controversial wrestling conspiracies of all time. Was the Montreal Screwjob actually a work? Did Vince McMahon secretly send Vince Russo to WCW to sabotage it? Is Cody really Dusty’s son, or is he actually Dustin’s?

The lads break down all the madness, from the infamous "two Ultimate Warriors" theory to whether Triple H intentionally buried Randy Orton’s first title reign in favor of Batista. And, of course, the most infamous rumor of all—what really happened between Macho Ma...
