Dorkside of the Ring

This week on the show we took a look at the go home Raw to the Judgement Day PPV from way back in 1998. There has been no shortage of insane moments in the Retro Raw Review the past few weeks and this episode was no exception! We crowned a new IC champion, saw a returning superstar (two actually), and got another classic moment courtesy of Stone Cold Steve Austin. We also chat about Extreme Rules and the return of Bray Wyatt, AEW and GCW. Enjoy!

This week on the show we discuss the apparent turmoil that is going on behind the scenes at AEW. We don’t really know what is going on, but it doesn’t seem good. How will that affect the 3rd anniversary Dynamite? We’ll let you know next week. The history of pro wrestling that occurred on this day is also kind of a bummer. From there we look at another very memorable episode of Monday Night Raw where Austin kicked McMahons ass in a medical facility and Mr. Socko was born. To round out the show, we chat about ACW Wisconsin 49 that took place over the weekend, as well as Dynamite, Rampage, etc. Enjoy!

This week on the show we spend a good hunk of time talking about a very memorable Retro Raw and the Breakdown PPV that proceeded it. Some great nuggets of information were dug up as we go over what occurred on this day in pro wrestling history. After that, we continue looking at the "white rabbit" storyline in the WWE, discuss the big AEW shows at Arthur Ashe Stadium, and Mat found a chase figure at the local Target! 

This week on the show we chat about the ominous teasers that WWE has been dropping both during the breaks of their live shows and via a QR code that was in the background of Raw. We also discuss the latest offerings from AEW ahead of the big showdown at Arthur Ashe Stadium in NYC this week, where all of the titles will be on the line, including Chris Jericho possibly capturing the ROH World Championship. We also dissect the Monday Night Raw before the Breakdown PPV way back in 1998, as well as a ton of other stuff! Enjoy. Wrestling.

This week on the show it is business back to normal as we come off the high that was All Out weekend. No live wrestling was consumed, but we still have plenty to talk about. The Retro Raw Review is a couple weeks away from the Breakdown PPV and many of the matches this week did just that, Breakdown. We had a nice trip down memory lane with the DMJ recommended match with some ECW. We also say goodbye to NXT 2.0 on the one-year anniversary of its inception. All this and more. Enjoy!

We have a special treat for you listeners on the show this week as we run down an incredible weekend in the outskirts of the Windy City! After the history, Retro Raw Review, and news (that includes some awesome figure reveals from AEW Fan Fest), we get down to business. We go day by day and give the run down on what went down. Rampage Suite, check. 4 Cups Stuffed, check. Running into the AEW champion at Target hours before the big match at All Out, check! There is a lot to go through, and it is a fun ride. Big thanks to Casey Corbin, Matt McCarthy, and Vince Averill for some great hangs. Check them out on the Talk n’ Wrestling & We Watch Wrestling podcasts!

The anticipation is palpable this week as the Dorkside train keeps chugging down the tracks to a huge wrestling weekend in Chicago! But before we get there, we have a lot to discuss. The Retro Raw Review focuses on the fallout from SummerSlam ’98 at MSG. Kane & The Undertaker are running roughshod over the entire locker room and Vince McMahon has a plan in place that will end SCSA’s championship reign. From there, we talk a bit of figure news before running down the latest offerings from AEW & WWE. Lastly, we give a brief itinerary for the weekend in the Second City. Enjoy!

This week on the show we discussed a couple of big-time returns! Kenny Omega came back on Wednesday to join the Young Bucks in their quest to be the inaugural AEW Trio’s champs. On Monday we saw Johnny Wrestling return to the WWE! It is an awesome time to be a pro wrestling fan. We also dissected a very good Raw as we are days away from SummerSlam ’98 in the Retro Raw Review (impromptu Hell in a Cell match, anyone?!) To round things out, we chatted about all of the recent happenings across the landscape of this great sport. We are also just days away from a killer weekend in Chicago for All Out. Enjoy!

This week on the show we kick thing off with a dose of “On This Day” that is heavy on the G1 and SummerSlam stuff. From there the WWF is on the Highway to Hell in the Retro Raw Review. Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker are heading for a showdown, and we are here for it. We also got to see both semi-finals matches for the Brawl for All. Into the Dorkness is heavy with Micro Brawler news, and after that we toss a bunch of ingredients in the Wrestling Stu. Dynamite, Rampage, GCW Homecoming and more are all discussed. Enjoy!

This week on the show we sit down to chat about the three offerings from AEW this week (I had no idea that Battle of the Belts was happening until after it happened). Adam keeps us up to speed on Raw, and we go over a great match from ECW's Guilty as Charged 1999 show as Super Crazy did battle with a young Tajiri. The Retro Raw Review was pretty cringeworthy this week as the WWF welcomed John Wayne Bobbitt to have a segment with Val Venus, Chyna mooned the crowd and the Brawl for All's quarterfinals wrapped up. All that and more. Enjoy!
