  • This week on WrestleChat Podcast, AntMan and Michael take a deep dive into the world of ECW – the extreme promotion that changed the wrestling landscape forever. Was ECW ahead of its time, or was it more of a cult classic that only gained appreciation after its demise? The guys explore what made the brand special, discussing its impact on the careers of wrestling legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Dudley Boyz. How much of Austin's iconic character was born during his short yet crucial stint in ECW? They break it all down. From there, the conversation shifts to WWE’s recent return to the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. With NXT putting on a memorable show featuring surprise appearances from ECW legends like Bubba Ray Dudley, the guys analyze how the promotion has been embracing nostalgia to edge out AEW in recent head-to-head battles. But is AEW really as concerned with ratings as WWE is? AntMan and Michael debate whether focusing on social media engagement might be a smarter strategy for AEW in the long run. As Survivor Series approaches, they tackle the current storyline developments leading into War Games. Who’s going to join the Bloodline? Could Cody Rhodes or even The Rock enter the fray? The guys discuss the possible match-ups and speculate on the role Cody might play given his father’s history with the War Games concept. In a surprise twist, the episode wraps up with a conversation about WWE’s newest addition – the Women’s U.S. Title. Does Raw need its own Women’s Intercontinental Title, or would adding more championships dilute the significance of the belts? AntMan and Michael weigh in on how WWE should handle their growing roster of titles, especially in an era where every championship needs to feel important to fans. It’s a packed episode full of wrestling nostalgia, current hot takes, and predictions for what’s next.
