Surprise! To kick off 2015 in a big way, Shake Them Ropes returns with an STR Extra, an episode that breaks away from our traditional WWE & NXT coverage to expand to some other news in pro wrestling. First, former WWE Superstar and current GFW President Jeff Jarrett will join us to talk NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 9, cord cutting, what carriers will have it live, Flipps TV, millennials’ viewing habits, his history in wrestling, and much more. Later in the show, returning guest Dylan Hales will talk the Voices of Wrestling Match of the Year poll, his candidates, and his fondness for Timothy Thatcher and Kongo Kong. Plus, as usual, Jeff Hawkins comes along to break down the return of Daniel Bryan and our thoughts from Raw this week. We expected a throw away show, but instead got a newsworthy 3 hours so we needed to talk about it. Rob will also explain what STR Extra will be, how often we’ll do it, and our new YouTube channel. We hope you enjoy, and have a great start to 2015!
