Wrasslin' Raw episodes

  • WWE Raw: January 8, 1996

    Despite the wishes of friends, family, and doctors, we're doing this show anyway! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are treated to some matches featuring Goldust, Aldo Montoya, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and Hakushi. Shawn Michaels has a press conference, and Brother Love brings out Ted Dibiase to introduce his newest acquisition: the Ringmaster. Vignettes from Vader and the Undertaker with Paul Bearer look great, but the Jobber of the Week did not!

  • WWE Raw: January 1, 1996

    1, 641, double-zero, hut, hut, hut! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get subjected to the Raw Bowl, an 8-man tag match with a special football gimmick- and it's the first match of 1996. With talent involved like Sycho Sid, Razor Ramon, Yokozuna, and the Smoking Gunns, the Raw Bowl is everything that it claimed it would be… and more! Also, King Mabel makes a brief appearance, Diesel gets the spoils, and Royal Rumble entrants are announced. Touchdown!

  • WWE: 1995 Year In Review

    It's finally over! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look back at what they've seen in 1995 - a year that is often referred to as one of the worst in wrestling history. Topics for this episode include the Match of the Year, the Jobber of the Year, Wrestling Observer Awards, the highlights and lowlights of 1995, and what everyone is looking forward to in 1996. Tune in and listen to the boys put an end to one of the most notorious years in wrasslin', and get ready for 1996!

  • WWE Raw: December 18, 1995

    Goldust is just androgynous, right? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys check out the final Monday Night Raw of 1995! "Double J" Jeff Jarrett returns in a match against Make a Difference Fatu, Buddy Landel surprises everyone (but not in the way one might think), and the only thing more homoerotic than Goldust's psychological warfare against Razor Ramon is Vince McMahon's "Say it Isn't So" tribute to Shawn Michaels. In typical fashion, 1995 hits us in the ass with the door on our way out!

  • WWE: In Your House 5

    The Smoking Gunns are here to deliver presents! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at the final Pay Per View of 1995, In Your House 5. Matches featuring Henry Godwin, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, the British Bulldog, and Bret "the Hitman" Hart all deliver, but the booking falls short with Buddy Landel and Ahmed Johnson. The Undertaker's Casket Match with King Mabel continues to disappoint and enrage, but on the plus side, hopefully King Mabel and Sir Mo got sent straight to hell!

  • WWE Raw: December 11, 1995

    How much brutality can you fit into one episode? In this installment of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are subjected to a master class of stiff work and botches, with Aja Kong brutally destroying Chaparita Asari, and Ahmed Johnson manhandling a former Jobber of the Week. We're given an excellent match between Owen Hart and Jobber Jeff Hardy, and (to nobody's surprise) a not-so-excellent match between Bob Backlund and Bret "The Hitman" Hart. The infectious disease is gonna getcha!

  • WWE Raw: December 4, 1995

    Welcome to Doc's Cocaine Jam! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, things get a bit confusing when the boys are confronted with more booking reruns between Bob Backlund and Bret Hart, as well as the Undertaker and King Mabel. Vince McMahon takes his 'living vicariously through Shawn Michaels' to the next level, and Jason has a special surprise up his sleeve. There might be a lack of wrasslin' here, but the good news is that Shawn Michaels is officially brain damaged!

  • WWE Raw: November 27, 1995

    We don't need no Mo no mo! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at a generally poor showing of Monday Night Raw, filled with questionable decisions- such as: should Dean Douglas be pushed into this match with Ahmed Johnson? Why is Brother Love here? Why is Marty Jannetty getting so much action? Who thought that the crowd would be satisfied with the Undertaker wrestling Sir Mo? This, and the definition of "shmoo," on this week's episode!

  • WWE Raw: November 20, 1995

    Somebody really needs to sign Earl Hebner up for CPR training! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys dig into a spectacular episode of Monday Night Raw. The 1-2-3 Kid and Hakushi go at it, Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart have a red-hot match that does not disappoint, and Diesel surprises us all by cutting a promo that lights up the past 8 months. Jason gets chastised by a listener, and Skip gets cuckolded… anything can happen on Wrasslin' Raw!

  • WWE: Survivor Series 1995

    The burial of Bam Bam Bigelow isn't the only disturbing thing in his match with Goldust! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at the 1995 Survivor Series Pay-Per-View, and get some pleasant surprises from an early 4-on-4, the return of the Undertaker, and one of the best Diesel matches ever. Wrasslin' Raw also debuts its new segment, "Did You Get Your Money's Worth?", while keeping with star ratings and a numbers breakdown. Just ignore the parts with President Clinton!
