  • True Words Of Aries

    As one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time Austin Aries has been in TNA/IMPACT, ROH, WWE, and now Control Your Narrative.  Aries is one of those wrestlers that can have a match with literally anyone.  From a cruiserweight match to a heavyweight match or even a tag team match Aries prided himself when he started training and then when he debute as someone that can do anything you ask of them.  We talk about his historical runs in TNA as X Division and Heavyweight Champions, as well as what really went happened when he worked for WWE and ultimately being released by the company.  But fear not Aries is a much better person then he was back then and continues to make the world a better place to live in.

  • August 12, 1996 RAW
    We are at the go home show for Summer Slam 1996.  This episode of RAW was not the best but RJ and Justin made the best of it.  The show was main evented by Shawn Michaels vs Owen Hart in a non title match; so you know it'll be good.  With Vader and Shawn scheduled for Summer Slam the coming Sunday the usual shenanigans were in full force as well; as Vader made his presence felt.  Lastly, the company is very high on Faarooq at this time as they were planning on having him feud against Ahmed Johnson, but after Johnson got hurt and needed emergency surgery those plans were put on hold.

  • "It's Game Time"
    Are You Ready? For the thousands listening around the world, it's time for another episode of Refin It Up with Brian Hebner.  This week Brian and RJ are honored to have former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas on the show to talk about someone that both he and Brian know well; Triple H.  As a life long fan of the business it was no surprise to anyone how quick Triple H took to the business when he trained with Killer Kowalski.  Making his debut in WCW in 1994 he fell in love with the business; he then was thrusted into the spotlight when he went to WWE and became Hunter Hearst Helmsley.  Triple H was one of the few men that could reinvent himself and get over even more than before.  All this and more on this great episode.

  • August 5, 1996 RAW
    Justin and RJ are starting their march to Summer Slam this week as they Rant about the August 5, 1996 edition of RAW.  Main evented by a 11 man battle royal makes this RAW just like any other show in 1996; very interesting.  This RAW shows us why WCW beat the WWF in the ratings for as long as they did.  A lot of these matches just didn't make sense, while they tried to show a little attitude to their audience.  Justin and RJ also bring to you their first edition of their Best Wresting Rivalry's of all time.

  • "The Innovator of Wrestling"
    Tommy Dreamer doesn't do podcasts much but he made an exception this week for Brian and RJ as they welcome him to the show to chat about his long and historical career. Brian shares with all of us how much Tommy means to him in and outside the ring.  The passion that Tommy has for pro wrestling is quite evident during this episode as he has dedicated his life to the sport that he loves.  From his early days on the independent scene to ECW and WWE and finally currently with IMPACT Wrestling, there is not much that Tommy hasn't done as he continues to inspire and coach young wrestlers all over the world; as his is truly the Heart and Soul of Professional Wrestling.

  • Bash at the Beach 2000
    We are at the end of the month, you know what that means?  RJ and Justin welcome in the third man in the booth, Pondwater Dave.  We all rant about this VERY interesting pay per view.  Bash at the Beach 2000 is the culmination event for WCW as they are a year away from going out of business. As we watch this event we know why they are on their way out.  Dave, Justin, and RJ rant thoroughly about this ever but also talk highly about a few high points of this show. This and the final additions to our Wrestling with Music rankings on this episode.

  • Bash at the Beach 1999
    The writing seems to be on the wall for WCW this week as Justin and RJ rant about Bash at the Beach 1999.  On paper the card would appear to be legitimately a good event but as someone once said "the bell had to ring." The highlight of this pay per view would be the match for the WCW Tag Team Championships, pitting "The New Jersey Triad" against Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit.  The rest of the event was very forgettible as RJ and Justin go off on the booking of the rest of the event.  All this and we also add four more themes to our Wresting with Music rankings with a surprise fifth.

  • Bash at the Beach 1998
    Compared to last weeks episode on the 1997 Bash at the Beach this show is a step back in some regards to the matches and on the large roster at this time in WCW.  Justin and RJ rant about a few of the highlights of this show but also have some not so good things to say about a few of the matches and segments on this pay per view.  We also add four more themes to our list getting it up to 91 themes.
