Evolution Radio Network Presents:

Waking up this morning to the news of the passing of Chris "King Kong Bundy" Pallies was quite a shock. Steve and Chris became good friends, having met in the early 90s at Windy City Wrestling. He will share a couple of stories at the start of tonight's broadcast.

There is more controversy to cover on the independent wrestling scene, both wrestlers and fans making the news. Did an independent wrestler get targeted because of his relationship to the daughter of a Hall Of Famer? Another wrestler has a domestic abuse record discovered and racism rears its ugly head at an independent show in Alabama. We have reached out to both him and his wife to join us tonight to discuss it. As you can well figure when an incident like this occurrs, the parties involved get innundated with interview requests, we are hoping they can join us, even for a short time. We now have more information on the Arn Anderson firing and it doesn't look good for not only the Hall Of Famer but a certain female superstar.

RAW last night was the first show since Bruce Pritchard officially came back on board and there were some big differences, most notably the Ronda Rousey promo and her subsequent attack on Becky Lynch, who is now scheduled, even though she is "injured" to face Charlotte Flair on Sunday to determine the challenger for the RAW Women's Title at WrestleMania.

The Blue brand is suffering even more InjureMania besides Becky. Alexa Bliss is apparenly hurt again and Mandy Rose dropped SmackDown Women's Champion Asuka on her head at a house show last night. Other than that there aren't a lot of solid clues as to what to expect tonight.

Join Steve, Jess and Katie as we cover these and other stories as we get ready to welcome Hall Of Famer Ricky Morton, hopefully Robert Gibson as well, tomorrow night

Tonight we welcome back a long time friend of the show, promoter Tina Gant. Tina has been away for an extended period due to medical issues, but she is back, and she is back, not walking, but running.

Tonight Tina, along with Justin Case, Dakota Reilly, possibly The Bone Crushers and Gary Wolridge will discuss the upcoming EPW and SPWA events.

The Friday night event will feature WWE Hall Of Fame member and now All Elite Wrestling producer Billy Gunn. This should be an interesting evening talking about wrestling in the South and the possible influence the new promotion, and to some extent, the attempts to revive the NWA.

This should be a fun evening, we hope you will enjoy it.

While the fans wonder if Ronda Rousey actually left WWE last night and laying down the belt was to make it dramatic and give her an open door to return after either a break or having a baby (we'll discuss those rumors tonight) there were some actual releases, including one that was very shocking. Meanwhile, over at Impact, two current roster members re-signed and a new face was added.

In other news, Tammy Sytch is arrested, AGAIN, Sabu got booted off Twitter, and there's some VERY interesting news concerning Mark Callaway.

On a more serious note, last night we were alerted to the news last night concerning the health of an independent wrestler who had competed in the Midwest. It begs the question about regulation, or at least whether there needs to be some checking on the health of wrestlers.

We'll have some fun, but we will also have some serious discussion, we hope you will enjoy it.

No, we didn't add Vince Vaughn to our host team (only a few of you will get the joke) but we are taking our show tonight (sadly, not literally) to Sin City to talk to two very talented and unique performers.

No matter how you write her name, Desi De Rata, Deside Rata, Desiderata, or however you do it, this grappler from Reno is making a mark throughout the industry. In addition to matches against well known names such as Taya Valkyrie and Heather Monroe, she has also been in the ring with many past guests of our show, including Sage Sin, Ruby Raze, and The Stoner Brothers. Along with wrestling, she is also an accomplished Ju Jitsu fighter AND a stilt walker!

Brooklyn born Santana Jackson has found success in and out of the ring in Vegas. Jackson, who can boast of a mixed Puerto Rican and Italian heritage, performs as a Michael Jackson tribute artist and has been seen throughout the country. He even incorporates The King Of Pop's moves as part of his in ring repitoire.

We hope you will enjoy these two very unique wrestlers as much as we are going to enjoy bringing them to you

TONIGHT ON RAMPAGE RANTS TNT:

Sunday's Elimination Chamber was met with mixed reactions from all of us. We'll discuss the event and our reactions to it. We will be going into TMZ mode tonight as well, discussing rumors about relationships between certain WWE personalities and their spouses. If you're upset by the current state of the RAW Women's Title match you're most likely going to be VERY upset by the WWE Championship match slated for WrestleMania. DX headed to the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2019 we will discuss this & the other rumored entrants for this years celebration.  All of this, along with AEW, ROH and AAA news TONIGHT! Plus as usual we are sure our own "Sadistic" Sean David will have something to get off his chest. The girls will bring the fun as they ALWAYS do, and the old man will remmeniace about the good old days.

So join your hosts "The Dean of Wrestling Referees" Steve Cain, "Sadistic" Sean David, "Khaotic" Katie, & Ms. Malice Mayhem for what promises to be 2 FULL hours of PURE Professional Wrestling Talk!

Note: We scheduled the first hour before the news of Pedro's passing broke. We are going to honor him in hour 2.

In hour 1 we are going to be joined by East Coast independent wrestler who has been on Ring Of Honor, Greywolf Raventhorne. This big man, who looks like he came out of a "Game Of Thrones" or "Vikings" episode is a graduate of our friend Danny Cage's Monster Factory. We'll talk about developing the character, where he has worked at and what his plans are.

When Steve started making calls yesterday after Pedro Morales' passing had been confirmed, the second call he made was to our friend, former WWF Spanish TV head and current AAA announcer and worldwide lucha libre promoter and commentator Hugo Savinovich. Hugo was not only friends with Pedro, he helped him transition from wrestler to broadcaster. As busy as he is, with having flown to Puerto Rico right off of doing AAA in Mexico City Saturday night, Hugo was gracious enough to agree to come on and share stories about his friend.

We hope you will enjoy both hours tonight and will listen to both of our shows every week.

So the weather has you stuck inside, eh bunky? Well don't worry, your crew of crazies will keep you entertained for two hours or so.

Did Vince McMahon just troll the entire IWC last night? Or, is he forcing the female version of Roman Reigns on the fans? Even Katie broke back into "It's still real to me" mode when the announcement broke. We will discuss the "change" along with the implications of it, especially on a go home show.

For the lucky people who are getting a pre-sale code tomorrow for Double Or Nothing, congratulations. We'll talk about last Thursday's AEW event, the signings and matches announced, and some people who are apparantly listening to offers from the upstart promotion.

Lucha Underground is still making news, but not for the right reasons. More unhappy wrestlers are suing the company over what they feel are opportunities being lost because of apparently restrictive contracts. We will discuss the latest star to lawyer up.

AAA, whose partnership with AEW was one of the major announcements coming out of last Thursday's Double Or Nothing ticket hype event made a big announcement concerning their broadcasts on Twitch that will probably make their American fans very happy.

It's several hours before SmackDown Live but an injurerd superstar has been reported to be in the building. Is this mystery person going to be part of an angle that is already going on or are they slated for something new?

We'll discuss all of these things and the proverbail MORE tonight, so get something to drink, grab some snacks and be ready to be entertained with your excellent party hosts, Sean, Steve, Katie & Jess.

As of this moment we do not have a guest lined up.

What we will do is talk about SmackDown Live, including that HORRIBLE eye injury suffered by Steve & Sean's friend Mustafa Ali. We will also go through any information or rumors surrounding tomorrow's All Elite Wrestling ticket rally ahead of Double Or Nothing.

If we get a guest we will update this.

Tonight we begin with the 10 bells for former NWA Jr. Heavyweight Champion Les Thornton, who passed away a few days ago.

There has to be concern in the WWE office as Becky Lynch's knee injury in NOT a storyline, which explains the "suspension" given her last night by Stephanie McMahon. The question then becomes, did Steph pull that kick at Becky's leg enough to avoid further injury?

There is more grumbling in the WWE locker room as one of the company's biggest stars expressed frustration over his current role on a podcast hosted by another former WWE personality, and this is not the only complaint being aired by current main roster talent.

Meanwhile over in Jacksonville and points beyond, the AEW crew is keeping itself front and center prior to this Thurday's ticket party, with Nick and Matt Jackson apparently getting a verbal commitment from one of the top tag teams in all of North America and several of the major players in atendance at the Super Bowl. Speaking of the big game, was Adam Levine trying to take viewers away from WWE's Halftime Heat by taking his shirt off during Maroon 5's set? If so, he didn't do a good job as the numbers of viewers, at least on social media, seemed to indicate a large interest in the event. The next question is between Heat and Worlds Collide, WWE, at least NXT, seemed to hitch its wagon on one of its youngest stars, now is it temporary, for a few months, or is this a long term plan? We know that there is going to be another Superstar ShakeUp in April, but will it involve just the main rosters, including the call-ups, or will there be NXT talent in that mix?

All this and more, including another departure from New Japan and a signing for Ring Of Honor, with Jess, Katie, Steve & Sean - TONIGHT!

We have spoken to only three non wrestling persons in the history of our show, but all had an involvement in the industry. Chet Coppock, legendary Chicago sportscaster who worked both as a ring announcer for the then WWF and was also the voice of WWF Radio. Evan Ginzburg, one of the producers of the legendary film "The Wrestler", and now tonight, Matt Cimber, the man behind GLOW.

While not seen in front of the camera, Matt's presence was indelable inside the room in the Riviera Hotel where GLOW was taped. As we know by our interviews with the GLOW girls, Matt is still loved and respected by them.

In addition to GLOW, Matt has an exceptonal résumé that includes numerous off Broadway productions and films and launched careers other than the women we talk about and to, including Oscar winner Sandy Dennis.

We will talk to Matt about all the aspects of his career, including not only GLOW but his upcoming return to the wrestling industry with a new show formatted similar to his beloved GLOW.

Please note, as we mentioned last night, Matt does have some memory issues so his recollections might be incomplete or he might repeat some stories, please indulge this legendary gentleman as he is honoring us tonight with his presence.
