This week the boys look forward to (what turned out to be) a very ill-fated show in WWE Backlash. Don't fret we will have a review pod up soon, but in the meantime listen to the optimism of Big Poppa and The Doctor before a show that will surely go down as one of the worst of all time. 

Onto the main show, Mikey gives us a review of Smackdown episode 141 from the 2nd May 2002! All of the usual stars were there, including an INCREDIBLE Chris Jericho and a woeful Triple H (that's right, the show that loves Triple H turns on him here). 

Agree with our predictions? MVP? Chump and or Botch of the week? Get in touch @restholdpod.

Join the boys for a look at the Greatest Royal Rumble PPV that aired live from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They cover every single match (some in great detail, others in not so great detail) as well as the clear political statement this event made. Spoiler alert: They weren't happy with this event...

Then in the 2nd half of the show, the Big Poppa Pod talks us through a fairly baffling RAW episode 466 from the 29th April 2002. What on earth is Hulk Hogan doing in the main event against William Regal? How much Deadman Inc. merchandise will The Undertaker be wearing? And just who the hell booked Bubba Ray Dudley vs Jazz for the Hardcore title? All of this are questions that the boys endeavour to answer on another jam-packed episode of the Rest Hold Wrestling podcast.

As ever if you'd like to get in touch please find us on Twitter @restholdpod, your opinions and thoughts as always make our day!

There has been a shake-up boys and girls! Your boys are back with thoughts on all the movers and shakers that went down as well as a preview of the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.

Then in main portion of the show, The Doctor & Big Poppa run through the 25h April 2002 episode of Smackdown! How will Triple H respond after his arrest on RAW? What feat of strength will Mark Henry perform? What's next for Kurt Angle & Edge? And will Hollywood Hulk Hogan finally manage to rip his t-shirt off and talks on the microphone at the same time??
