WrestleRant Radio - January 16, 2020: Marty Scurll Stays Put in ROH While Brian Cage Prepares for Move to AEW

Despite having almost no voice, Graham "GSM" Matthews has a ton to talk about on this week's WrestleRant Radio, starting with the exciting (yet not surprising) news that AEW and TNT have expanded their partnership through 2023! He also gets into Ring of Honor's enjoyable pair of shows from over the weekend and how they can benefit from rekindling their working relationship with the NWA, how Marty Scurll may be responsible for it and the pros and cons of him reportedly becoming a booker, if he made the wrong call, Brian Cage signing with AEW and why he'll be a good fit there.

GSM also has plenty of thoughts on IMPACT losing everyone they build around, the controversy surrounding Tessa Blanchard and her winning the Impact World Championship, quick thoughts on the Hard to Kill pay-per-view, WWE officially signing Mercedes Martinez and Jake Altas to developmental deals, a full review of NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II, the Canadian Destroyer being completely bastardized, Tyler Bate and Jordan Devlin stealing the show, WWE seemingly finally pulling the trigger on Drew McIntyre and why he should win the men's Royal Rumble, why the Brock Lesnar and R-Truth segment from Raw was wildly entertaining, Buddy Murphy aligning with Seth Rollins and AOP, and much more!

WrestleRant Radio - January 9, 2020: Why WWE NXT Needs The Motor City Machine Guns

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Graham "GSM" Matthews opens WrestleRant Radio with the exciting news that Good Humor is bringing back the WWE ice cream bars after almost 30 years! He also gets into how you can get your name shouted-out on the show, new matches being added to Worlds Collide in two weeks, if WrestleMania would benefit from expanding to two days, NXT TakeOver specials moving to Sundays, and Mercedes Martinez reportedly signing with WWE. Did she make the right choice?

GSM then previews Sunday's IMPACT Hard to Kill pay-per-view and NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II and gives his predictions for both shows. Does Tessa Blanchard have a fighting chance of becoming Impact World Champion? And Will WALTER successfully defend his WWE United Kingdom Championship on the one year anniversary of his WWE debut?

Finally, GSM runs down his reviews of Raw, AEW Dynamite and NXT from this past week and shares his thoughts on Brock Lesnar entering the Royal Rumble as the number one entrant (and how it has the potential to be great), if Andrade and Rey Mysterio are building to a Mask vs. Title match, Big Show returning and why it wasn't as bad as some fans made it out to be, the highs and lows of Dynamite on Wednesday night (including a horrid AEW Women's Championship match), the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic kicking off, Alex Shelley reuniting with Kushida next week (and why WWE must hire The Motor City Machine Guns), Johnny Gargano vs. Finn Balor being made official for TakeOver: Portland, Chelsea Green making her NXT TV debut, Keith Lee's big win (and if a Royal Rumble victory could still in the cards), and much more!

It's a new year, yes it is! In the premiere episode of WrestleRant Radio of the decade, Graham "GSM" Matthews runs down the top 25 best WWE matches of 2019 as ranked by WWE.com! Does he agree with their list? He goes into great detail about each bout, some forgotten classics (including some from earlier this year), whether the women's main event from WrestleMania 35 was overrated, why their number one is understandable, and more! Plus, he gives his quick thoughts on Monday's episode of Raw, the first AEW Dynamite of 2020, and the winners of NXT's 2019 Year-End Awards (all while under the weather, no less!).
