Austin finally gets his hands on McMahon, Mabel turns to the dark side and the most Russo-rific Royal Rumble takes the fight all the way to the bathroom, it's the 1999 Royal Rumble! I'm joined once again in studio by Sean "spiffie" Flynn to review the 1999 Royal Rumble, we discuss unorthodox Rumble booking, the insane lack of in-ring action in 1999, Gillberg and much more. It's a fun show as always, so check it out!

Sean Ross Sapp joins Rob & Jeff to talk all about this Sunday's WWE Royal Rumble. We'll go over the full card, which features nothing but title matches at this point. Plus, of course, our bold speculation about the Royal Rumble match itself. Then, Rob and Jeff relive Match #48 on our Top 100 WWE Network matches countdown - Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior from WrestleMania 6. Rob also gives an update to CM Punk wager and the eating of the hat.

It's a fun show, with a lot of great WWE talk, so we hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to join us on Sunday night after the Royal Rumble as we go live on YouTube for STR 130 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNJ0sgxWn6w

It's the very first episode of VOW's new Dragon Gate-only podcast, Open the Voice Gate! John, Case, Jules, and Shane break down a turbulent 2015 in Dragon Gate, discussing the end of the Millenials & MAD BLANKEY (and the ultimate legacy of both units), the beginning of VerserK, and various other happenings. We also give out brief awards for 2015: MVP, Best Match, Best Show, and Tag Team of the Year (a real mystery, that one). Plus we briefly discuss the most recent Korakuen Hall show on 1/13 and give our predictions on the upcoming Unit Must Disband match between Monster Express and Dia.Hearts, as well as a general outlook for 2016. Who do we think is ending Shingo's title reign? How about YAMADoi's? All this and much more in episode 1 of Open the Voice Gate!

In this solo edition of the Voices of Wrestling podcast, Joe breaks down why a certain Wrestler or The Year candidate simply doesn't stack up to other contenders. In the second half of the show, Joe talks about the NJPW/Nakamrua IC title situation, who could reasonably be the "X" who faces Kenny Omega, and why the New Beginning shows will set the tone for the rest of the year. Joe wraps things up by burying a completely ludicrous booking decision by All Japan, and then a quick run down of the NOAH 1/9 Korakuen show.
