Dorkside of the Ring

This week on the show, we chat about the worst wrestling convention of all time in the “On This Day” segment. We also discuss some new figure news before doing a Highspots mystery box unboxing live on the air. We then wrap it all up with some thoughts about what we have watched since we last sat down, including Suzuki vs. Everybody, NXT, AEW and more!

This week on the show we have a bit of a long one! That's because in the main event we have an interview with former ECW Heavyweight Champion, Justin Credible aka: PJ Polaco. We had a great conversation about his time in the WWF, his transition to ECW and more. We thought about collapsing a segment, but instead decided to make it an extra large helping of wrestling goodness. In the Retro Raw Review, DX is finally named, and we are a month out from the Survivor Series in Montreal. Whatchu Watchin?! is headlined by a pair of GCW shows. All this and much more. Check it out, and if you dig it, tell a friend! 

This week on the show, we take a look at all of the recent stuff, including Arn Anderson calling out Cody for being soft and a quick recap of the last five nights of the New Japan G1 Climax tournament. In the Retro Raw Review, we look at what might be the best episode we have covered so far (10/6/97 if you're playing along at home). HHH and HBK are in true sophomoric form, Melanie Pillman joins via satellite mere hours after her husband passed, and Jim Cornette spoke his mind about the state of the business. No one was safe during this segment. As always, thanks for the listen, an do us a solid by telling a friend about the show!

This week on the show we chat about a Retro Raw that is really the bridge to a new era in the WWF. So many things change in the landscape in the next few days. A beloved man is lost too soon, and a character that was probably supposed to have a short run (that lasts over 20 years) will debut before next weeks segment. We also rundown nights 3,4,& 5 of the G1 tournament. If you haven't checked it out, you definitely should. It's fantastic! We also discuss everything else we have seen since we last sat down, which is a lot. Enjoy!

Hey gang! This week on the show we get things rolling with some "On This Day" before heading into the "Retro Raw Review" that featured one of the most pivotal shows as we truck on towards the Attitude Era. Austin stuns Vince, Cactus Jack shows up to confront HHH, and Bret Hart wrestles Goldust hours after being told that McMahon will not be honoring their 20 year contract. It's good stuff. After that we have a bit of news before going into "Whatchu Watchin?!" where we discuss the first two nights of the NJPW G1 tournament, NXT 2.0, and much more. Thanks for the listen, and if you dig the show, let a friend know about it. We appreciate it more than you know!

This week on the show we discuss the fallout from All Out, which, I think has to be one of the best PPV’s in the last decade, if not all time. We run down some interesting stuff that occurred on this day in pro wrestling history, and review a Monday Night Raw that some say was the catalyst for the “Attitude” era. If you want to see Michael Hickenbottom in stuffed biker shorts, be sure to seek it out. We don’t have a ton of new to cover, so we quickly get into all of the glorious pro wrestling that was consumed over the last seven days. It’s a lot. And with NXT 2.0, Dark Side of the Ring and NJPW’s G1 starting this week, the content isn’t letting up anytime soon! Enjoy.

This week on the show we hit on all of the normal segments, but there’s a little something special as our Retro Raw Review returns to it’s normal form, and we do our best to verbally document our amazing weekend in Chicago! Who watched more live wrestling this week than us? Probably nobody! The weekend was book-ended by the AEW shows (Rampage & All Out), but there was so many other great things to see as well. We made some new friends along the way, ate over-priced ice cream bars and enjoyed every second of it. Shout out to GCW, the We Watch Wrestling Podcast and all of the cool people that made the weekend one for the record books. Enjoy!

This week on the show, we briefly hit on some "On This Day..." before giving a quick rundown on the special "Friday Night's Main Event" that acted as the go home to IYH: Ground Zero. We will get back to that next week, but the bulk of the show we talk about all of the pro wrestling we watched LIVE this week. We caught AEW Dark: Elevation, Dynamite AND Rampage this week from the UWM Panthers Arena in Milwaukee on Wednesday, then it was off to Waukesha, WI for ICW - Milwaukee's annual Insane 8 deathmatch tournament. It was two sides of the same awesome coin that is wrestling. Thanks for listening, and join us next week as we break down all of the Chicago shows we are about to take in. It's a great time to be a fan!

This week on the show, we chat about the biggest return possibly in professional wrestling history! It was well rumored and all but confirmed, but that didn't make it any less special. What an incredible scene. Then, we are forced to take somewhat of a detour from the Retro Raw Review, thanks to some tennis, but we make do. After that is a little figure news and some new arrivals, followed by a healthy dose of "Whatchu Watchin?!" that included one of the best three days of wrestling in awhile. Dropping this episode a little early as we are off to attend Dynamite in Milwaukee. Enjoy!

Hey gang! This week on the show we are dealing with a pro wrestling landscape that is changing by the day! The changes are both in the current day product as well as in the Retro Raw Review from 1997. What an exciting time to be a fan. We are on the precipice of something big if the internet rumors are to be believed. We talk about the Mattel Creations New Generation Arena that got funded on Friday, as well as hit on all of the stuff that has been going on this week. There's a lot! We look at the first Rampage, Dynamite, TripleMania, NJPW Resurgence and a ton more. Thank you so much for taking the journey with us!
