Dorkside of the Ring

This week on the show we take a look back at a pretty memorable episode of Raw is War. Stone Cold tosses Goldust into a Port a John, Chainsaw Charlie debuts and Owen Hart has a hell of a match with HBK for the WWF Championship. We also look at a bunch of figure news, Mat debuts his tattoo from the 2021 Royal Rumble random draw, and we get into some great stuff that AEW dropped on us for the holidays. We also have a quick preview of a very busy January. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays! This week on the show we discussed a ton of topics including Bryan Danielson and Hangman Adam Page wrestling to a one-hour time limit draw on national television, where we think the Brock / Roman storyline is heading, Ric Flair calling rehab a total work and much more. We also hit all of the normal segments like the Retro Raw Review (where HBK and HHH pulled a fast one on Sgt. Slaughter), and Into the Dorkness where we added to the collections with a bunch of stuff including an ROH DVD from a show we both attended but was never aired. Enjoy the holidays in a safe and responsible manner. We appreciate you!

This week on the show, we take a look at a very memorable episode of Raw in the Retro Review. Three major things happened: The Rock referred to himself as “The People’s Champion”, Stone Cold Steve Austin tossed the IC Championship over a bridge and Vince McMahon graced us with the “passé” promo. We talk about Brock Lesnar in overalls befriending Sami Zayn, which was gold. We also get into some sad news regarding Jimmy Rave who left us too early this past week. Check out his stuff, and check in on your pals this time of year. The holidays in general can be tough, and with a global pandemic happening, it’s even worse. Thanks to everyone who listens to this show, I appreciate YOU! Check us out on the socials @DorksideOTR, if you’re so inclined, and please let us know what you like or dislike about the show.

This week on the show, we took a look back at IYH: Degeneration X, and the Monday Night Raw that followed it. We saw the return of Owen Hart, whom Shawn Michaels has dubbed "The Nugget" After that we have a tad bit of news including the death of WWE DVD and Blu Ray in the US and follow that up with a ton of stuff that we watched since we last sat down. We chat about AEW Dynamite and that flaming table spot, but also get into ACW Wisconsin's 8th anniversary show, and DAMN what a night that was. Thanks as always for the listen, we appreciate you!

This week on the show we chat about the go home Raw to the final In Your House of all time. We also take our weekly look back at the history of pro wrestling, which is highlighted by Adam attempting to guess the names of stars before they were stars. We hit on some figure news that includes some new pre orders up at Ringside Collectibles and Zombie Sailor Toys, then chat about the pro wrestling that we consumed since last week. That includes a couple AEW shows on the television, and two shows that we attended in person. Enjoy!

We have a great show lined up for you this week! All of the usual segments are represented. On the Retro Raw, everyone has put the Montreal incident in the rearview mirror (except Shawn Michaels) The Mattel Elite squad dropped a video late last week showcasing some new figures on the horizon so we discuss that. Mat unboxes the November Pro Wrestling Crate live on the show, then takes a stroll down memory lane and lists off his top 3 Survivor Series PPV's (as well as some notable moments) We also chat about Bryan Danielson's abrupt heel turn and Seth Rollins getting tackled by a "fan". Enjoy!

This week on the show we talk about some very prolific Survivor Series in the “On This Day” segment. From there we chat about the Raw from Cornwall, Ontario, Canada that occurred just two days after the events in Montreal, although it aired 8 nights later. This was the show with the infamous “Bret screwed Bret” interview. We get a lot of Chella Toys news, and talk all about our weekend in Minnesota for AEW’s Full Gear. Enjoy!

Hey, gang! This week on the show you are in for a treat! As we travel down the road that is 1997 WWF, we have hit a major pothole that shook up not only the WWF, but the entire wrestling business. Most of us have seen and remember the incident that occurred at the 1997 Survivor Series, but what happened the following night on Raw is mostly forgotten. Well, someone who didn't forget was Canada's own Casey Corbin! This well know comic and all around awesome dude hops on with us to chat about that infamous weekend and a ton more! He couldn't have been a better fit for the show, and we hope to bring him back on soon. We chatted with Casey for almost an hour, and as a result, we compressed our normal segments down a bit, but I think you'll agree it was totally worth it. Be sure to check out his show, Talk n' Wrestling wherever you get your pods. Enjoy!

This week on the show we are taking a look back at a very pivotal moment in the Monday Night Wars, and the WWF in general. The Retro Raw Review is the 11/3/97 episode that is the go home show to The Survivor Series in Montreal! Into the Dorkness is a real cornucopia as we chat about figures that were announced from so many different lines from Micro Brawlers to Elites. We hit on some sad news about a couple of guys that wont be performing in a ring for a bit, and finish with an AEW heavy Whatchu Watchin?! Help the show by spreading the word to a friend that might like it. We appreciate you!

This week on the show, we have a nice helping of "On This Day" that included a few Halloween Havoc's, & HBK's first singles title. The Retro Raw Review is highlighted by Jim Cornette's opinion on the Icon word being thrown around a lot in the business. We have a wide array of figure news that includes retros, brawlers and more. Then we chat about all of the great wrestling that can be consumed on a weekly basis. GCW, AEW and NXT are just a few options! What a time to be a fan.
