Rob & Jeff are back with STR Live #146 - WWE Payback is complete, and we'll discuss all the match results, surprises, and more. Plus, the Road to Extreme Rules officially begins as we already have the main event! *There are some, minor, audio issues as we recorded this show live. I apologize for the inconvenience, we did our best to correct in post-production.

Big show this week w/ Rob & Jeff bringing on Sean Ross Sapp to talk WWE Payback, plus an appearance from VOW's Joe Gagne to discuss the Finn Balor vs Samoa Joe match from NXT in Lowell, Mass. What a struggle. We'll talk Taker vs Shawn from Badd Blood 1997, as well as answer the question of whether either of us have ever left a wrestling show early. Big show - Enjoy!

Open the Voice Gate is finally back for Episode 5 (well, at least three of us are....) and we have a whole lot to discuss: quick thoughts on the Champions Gate title matches (which had not made air the last time we recorded- yes, it's been that long!), the latest Korakuen show (which John was there live for), quick thoughts on the recent Nosawa Tokyo Love show with heavy DG participation, and then previews of the upcoming Dead or Alive PPV and the King of Gate tournament. Who is losing their hair? We have no idea, but we try to guess anyway! All this plus the promised discussion of Yuji Hino's belly button and much, much more!

Joe and Rich are finally reunited for a huge show previewing NJPW's upcoming Wrestling Dontaku, WWE Payback 2016, news and notes on Will Ospreay signing with New Japan Pro Wrestling, Flamita departing AAA, Big Japan's Strong Climb tournament and a preview of Dragon Gate's Dead or Alive featuring the Mask vs. Hair 1 Year Bald Head Steel Cage Survival Double Risk 6 Way Match.

This week's show kicks off with a look at some talent headed to new places, including the whereabouts of Kamaitachi, and discussion of where free agents Will Ospreay and Ricochet may ultimately end up. Next up is a breakdown of the surprising NXT house show title change, a balanced look at Finn Balor's long title reign, and tangents on wacky Lucha Underground fans and the unsettled TNA ownership situation. The show wraps up with the multi layered story of the death of Chyna, including hard questions about her legacy and the misplaced agendas concerning her WWE HOF snub.

The 144th edition of Shake Them Ropes is a big one – Rob & Jeff talk the biggest topics stemming from Monday's WWE Raw in London, including the WWE Tag Team Tournament semi-finals, AJ Styles' interactions with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, and much more. Plus, we look back to Wyatts vs Shield from 2014 in our Top 100 Matches to See on WWE Network Before You Die series. We get into some of the news of the week, also – Finn Bálor's NXT Title reign breaks a record, and we discuss whether that is significant or not. Adam Rose and Konnor have been suspended. Where does that leave the Social Outcasts and Viktor? Plus, are Guns n' Gallows teaming up with a third guy after all, and who could it be?

In this week’s edition of the New Japan Purocast cast, we preview the cards for the 4/23 and 4/24 “Road to Dontaku” events taking place from Korakuen Hall. Plus, we speculate on possible changes that could be made to “Wrestling Dontaku” due to the cancellation of the 4/29 “Wrestling Hinokuni” PPV. You asked, we answered - the Purocast mailbag opens up!

After a one week hiatus, the Voices of Wrestling flagship returns, with a 90 minute break down of NJPW Invasion Attack and a preview of the upcoming Hinokuni and Dontaku shows. The bizarre Octagon/Octagon Jr situation is discussed next, before Joe offers some tough love social media advice for Austin Aries. Finally, Joe takes you through his Mania Weekend experience in Dallas, including stories of the worst hotel room ever , watching La Parka almost die, and meeting Big Dave Meltzer.

A big episode of Shake Them Ropes to discuss a big episode of WWE Monday Night Raw! We'll talk the best of the episode, Guns n' Gallows debut on TV, Payback is set up, and Maryse continues to be amazing. Plus, we talk a bit about 1995 ECW and Hostile City Showdown's Guerrero vs Malenko match.

​The New Japan Purocast returns with our review of the historic "Invasion Attack 2016", which took place in front of a sold out crowd at Ryogoku Sumo Hall!
