Brock Lesnar Guy Retires
Brock Lesnar Guy Retirement Marks the End of an Era (Good)
Michael Corcoran—Brock Lesnar Guy—announced his retirement from being a professional wrestling superfan, leaving his iconic Affliction shirt draped over a chair in symbolic farewell. Good riddance. Since that viral moment during Lesnar’s 2012 return, Corcoran turned one flex pose into thirteen years of attention-seeking theater. Same shirt. Hard cam seats. Maximum visibility. He wasn’t enhancing the product—he was competing with it. Not all superfans are the same. Sign Guy enhances heel interactions. Frank the Clown leveraged visibility into an actual career. But Corcoran represents the worst of the era: fans who perform alongside wrestling without anyone asking them to. The superfan era is dying. Wrestling’s better for it.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026: Why Randy Orton’s Shocking Win Exposes the Match’s Biggest Problem
Watch the Replay
WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 scored a 6.5 out of 10 from the Wrestling Uncensored crew — and that number is almost entirely because of Randy Orton’s stunning win in the main event. Dave Simon breaks down the one structural booking flaw that keeps killing this match every single year.

Wwe'S Worst Smackdown In Months
WWE’s Worst Smackdown in Months: What Went Wrong Friday Night?
WWE Smackdown delivered its worst show in months Friday night, prompting Wrestling Uncensored’s Dave Simon to declare “nothing worthwhile, not a damn thing.” The disaster included embarrassingly bad Cody Rhodes-Drew McIntyre cinematic segments with VHS-style camera glitches, heel tag champions losing to heels, babyfaces attacking heels, and a main event ending without a finish. The only bright spot was R-Truth mistaking Joe Hendry for Joe Pesci. Meanwhile, Dave defends Triple H’s controversial decision to have Gunther make John Cena tap out at Saturday Night’s Main Event—arguing bold booking beats safe nostalgia. Plus AEW’s MJF crashes World’s End and CM Punk’s first title defense looms.

John Cena Last Match
John Cena’s Last Match: Why Gunther Is the Perfect Final Opponent for Wrestling’s Most Polarizing Champion
The John Cena last match against Gunther isn’t getting the emotional farewell WWE probably expected. After 20 years as the company’s top guy, Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North are asking the uncomfortable questions: Does Cena belong on wrestling’s Mount Rushmore alongside Hogan, Austin, and The Rock? Was his run more about incredible work ethic and durability than actual greatness? And is Gunther—the most dominant wrestler of this generation—the perfect opponent to expose Cena’s limitations one last time? The answers reveal why Cena’s legacy remains wrestling’s most controversial debate, and why Saturday Night’s Main Event might deliver the reality check instead of the storybook ending.

Gunther Wins John Cena Tournament
Gunther Wins John Cena Tournament: Ring General Earns Final Match Spot
Gunther ending John Cena’s career isn’t just the right call — it’s the smartest booking decision WWE has made in years. When the Ring General pinned LA Knight clean on SmackDown to earn the WrestleMania match, some fans immediately called for Cody Rhodes or Randy Orton in that spot. They’re missing the point entirely. Cena doesn’t need a nostalgia match against someone he’s already beaten a dozen times. He needs to put over the future of the company on the way out, and Gunther is exactly that guy. Here’s why WWE finally got a retirement storyline right and what it means for the Ring General’s legacy.

WWE Survivor Series 2025 War Games Preview: Brock Lesnar’s Challenge
WWE Survivor Series 2025 War Games takes over Petco Park in San Diego with an outdoor setup that hasn’t been attempted in over two decades. Dave Simon and Johnny North broke down the entire four-match card on Wrestling Uncensored, and they’re not exactly sold on the value proposition for fans who paid hundreds of dollars to attend. The centerpiece is Brock Lesnar in War Games – a format that doesn’t suit his typical in-and-out style. The babyface team of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Jey Uso faces Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair leads the women’s War Games match after earning the advantage on SmackDown. The hosts also discussed AEW’s Samoa Joe becoming the new World Champion and the state of professional wrestling heading into the final weeks of 2025.
