Evolution Radio Network Presents:

Finally, it's WrestleMania week! For wrestling fans, this is the Super Bowl, World Series and Stanley Cup all rolled into one. If you are down in New Orleans, as big of a tourist trap as it is normally, this week it will look like downtown Niagara Falls, Ontario. There is literally a wrestling or wrestling related event on every corner. Now if you couldn't make it down there don't worry, there is one social media broadcaster that has you covered.

Last night, RAW sewed up their end of the program. From Ronda Rousey getting put through a table at the beginning, to John Cena forlornly walking away when Undertaker did not show up for his last chance to respond to Cena's challenge to Brock Lesnar getting to his feet after taking FIVE Superman Punches to deliver an F5 to Roman Reigns to end the night, the Red roster did their part. Tonight, SmackDown Live is scheduled to bring on a legitimately ill Shane McMahon to do the last minute hype for his tag match with Daniel Bryan against Team Kammi. In terms of known matches for tonight, it's Rusev Day as The Baddest Bulgarian In The Building takes on the Maha (Ah-ha), Queen Charlotte Flair goes against Crazy Cat Lady and American Alpha 1.5 faces AJ Nakamura.

In other news we will cover, a "wrestler" has made what we consider a fatal mistake by threatening one of the legitimately toughest guys in fighting. Was Braun Strowman's partner really at RAW last night?  We know what matches will be on the WrestleMania pre-show. one of which involves a long time friend and coworker of Steve's. Speaking of that young man, he has a featured article on espn.com.  There is a lot of stuff we have to cover so get ready for 2+ hors of fun and wrestling talk!

Steve WILL be here for the ENTIRE show tonight so everyone can relax! Joining us once again to contniue not only our conversation from last week but some of last night's discussion will be RAMPAGE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING promoter FRANK ROOT. Also joining us are scheduled to be:

Female wrestler FANTASY

Rampage Championship Wrestling Owner FRANK ROOT

Former Jim Crockett Promotions wrestler and W.A.R. regular CRUSHER KNOPFFPAUL "THE VOICE" EUBANKS

And MORE surprises!

Get ready for two hours (maybe more) of fun and controversial wrestling talk.

Note: Due to outside commitments, Steve will be coming on sometime after the beginning of the program.

Well, WrestleMania is a week away and John Cena is STILL waiting for a response from the Undertaker. Will the Dead Man arrive next week to give him an answer? Who will Braun Strowman's partner be against The Bar? How will Roman Reigns, who has been demolished two weeks in a row by Brock Lesnar, make it to where he is even capable of stepping into the ring to face The Beast Incarnate? It seems last night's RAW left us with as many, if not more, questions than there were answers. Speaking of questions, will a certain masked wrestler, who suddenly appeared on Twitter after years of being dormant, show up on SmackDown Live tonight? Also, what is going on with Shane McMahon? There are supposed to be some answers tonight but we'll have to see.

In other news, there's a certain restaurant chain that has found it doesn't want to run a-FOWL of a certain WWE star. We also have the complete list of the inductors for next Friday's Hall Of Fame ceremony. Paul Heyman is already working on another project, will it be what he does in place of WWE? Also, did Cody Rhodes pull a shoot on The Young Bucks at this weekend's Being The Elite? All these items PLUS the lineup of events for WrestleMania week in New Orleans, TONIGHT!

Remember, if you've missed an episode or want to hear a favorite episode you can find us at http://tunein.com

Well Steve is back from the party and after party, and he's not even hung over! So with everybody back hopefully quieter environments we are loading it up for tonight's show.

Several weeks back we introduced female wrestler FANTASY to you. The three of us fell in love with her right away and by the end of the night we were dying to get her back on. It's finally happening.

FRANK ROOT of Illinois based Rampage Championship Wrestling has been quite busy lately. A string of very well attended shows in the Central/Southern Illinois area, including a Special Olympics benefit, has kept this promoter extremely busy. Speaking of promoters, we may also have SICW promoter and long time ERN friend HERB SIMMONS joining us.

There is also a rumor of someone from Sean and Steve's past possibly calling in...

As we were preparing today's show word broke that two WWE wrestlers had been medically cleared to return to the ring. The bigger news is one of those two is Bryan Danielson, AKA Daniel Bryan. Apparently this will be addressed tonight on SmackDown Live and it may have an effect on WrestleMania. Speaking of WrestleMania, the first preshow has started on the Network! Just kidding, but you are going to need a comfy chair and either a Stadium Pal or Depends.

Although you did not see her, Ronda Rousey was at RAW and she did something that was aired live on YouTube. Speaking of not seeing something, or should we say someone, we know why Bray Wyatt was not found in the Lake Of Resurrection.

Rey Mysterio has signed a deal, but it's not with WWE. The Dudly Boyz inductors have been announced, and for those who benefit from flash photography, the induction speech will last for five seconds. All of this, and why a certain former WWE performer will NEVER be on any ERN program, with Katie, Sean, and Steve on location-TONIGHT!

Our long time listeners are very familiar with the name B. Brian Blair.  One half of 1980s WWF star tag team The Killer Bees, Brian has been synonymous with professional wrestling since his days in his native Florida. His travels throughout the United States and the world include time spent with other legendary stars such as Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Garvin and many more.

Now, he still makes appearances all over, including an upcoming date in the Chicago area this weekend. In addition to that, he serves as the President of the Cauliflower Alley Club and organizes a quarterly Legends Lunch in the Tampa area. This year's Cauliflower Alley Club reunion in Las Vegas promises to be special as one of the great performers of the modern era will be honored.

Brian has regaled us with many stories, including the imfamous "Cooler Story" with Dusty Rhodes and Andre The Giant. He has promised us many more funny stories tonight (Katie, have your inhaler ready!) so be prepared to be entertained and informed with the one and only B. Brian Blair.

We want to extend our best wishes to Bobby Horne, AKA Sir Mo of Men On A Mission. They have found a donor kidney and he should be having the transplant surgery shortly.

We are on the last stages of the road to WrestleMania with Fastlane having occured this past Sunday and the explosive RAW last night combined with what should be an interesting SmackDown Live with Shane scheduled to amke an announcement as well as Asuka making her first apperance on the blue brand after her surprise apperance Sunday where she made her challenge to Charlotte Flair.

Last night's RAW, although without the presence of Ronda Rousey (and we'll talk about what WWE did as an "apology") had some great mic work from both Roman Reigns and John Cena, who once again issued a challenge to The Undertaker. Now while of course we've learned that you never say never, especially in wrestling, an upcoming announced appearance of the Deadman may lend a clue as to whether he will be answering the challenge.

In hour two we'll bring you another Jim Cornette clip, this time a discussion he had with Hall Of Fame announcer Jim Ross from a recent episode of The Jim Cornette Experience that is quite educational to listen to. Jeff Hardy is back in the news for doing something stupid and illegal. The Miz welcomed Randy Orton to the Grand Slam Club via Twitter with a not so subtle shot at a tag team that is not in the US to defend themselves. WwE and GLOW will be facing each other, but it won't be in a ring. And just when yougot used to the new RAW opening, there's a NEW new RAW opening, this one done by a top band. All of these things and MORE with Steve, Katie & Sean TONIGHT.

Original air date-3/8/2017

Yesterday we lost another one of the legendary stars of our industry, Outlaw Ron Bass. Ron was known for his bad attitude and his whip that he took to the ring.

He wrestled throughout the NWA during their heyday, winning many singles and tag team titles, including titles with Barry Windham and One Man Gang. He also won tag team gold in Japan with Stan Hansen. In 1987 he joined the then WWF where he participated in both the inaugural Survivor Series and in 1988 pinned a young Sean Michaels.

Joining up tonight will be two of our good friends who were also very good friends of Ron's, Bob Cook and Outlaw Joel Deaton. Please join us as we pay tribute to one of the greats of our business.

It will only be Sean and Steve tonight, Katie is unable to speak. Hopefully she'll be back with us next week.

We are on an open situtaion tonight. We have reached out to our friends Paul Eubanks and Crusher Knopf.

We don't know who will be on or what will happen, but we do know it should be interesting and fun.

After seeing that we lost our reviews of RAW and SmackDown Live in the wake of the other news we will spend the first hour covering both shows. Tonight is of course the go home show before Payback so we'll have to see how well Creative has set up making Sunday's event a must see.

There is some very serious news we will be dealing with tonight, one story will cover a news story we broke several weeks back and a new one that broke this morning. The connection? Both people involved are connected to the RAW brand. Both stories could lead to some serious changes, including several matches at WrestleMania.

Could Vince McMahon be inerested in bringing a former World Champion he fired back to the WWE? That is the story making the rounds as trhis former World Champion's contract with another organization is set to expire next month. Of course we have to address the Sami Callihan issue. During the initial controversy the name of one of our friends was mentioned as having some possible responsibility for training him. We reached out to that person and we will talk about his response to the controversy. Cody Rhodes' "All In" show now has a venue and we will announce it. There has also been an announcement concerning NXT TakeOver Chicago and the next edition of War Games. Get ready for 2 + hours of news, talk and controversy with Steve, Sean and Katie TONIGHT!
