Dorkside of the Ring

This week on the show we chat about so much fun stuff. In the history portion, we talk about the resignation of Jack Tunney from the WWF, a short WHC reign for Savage & more. From there the Retro Raw covers a main event that involved SCSA & The Undertaker as they are set to meet at Judgement Day. Into the Dorkness is surprisingly full of news and new arrivals. Toward the end, we cover all...

Back to our regularly scheduled programing this week! Big thanks to Casey Corbin for chatting last week. We take a look at the recent Money in the Bank show that the WWE presented from London. It was very good. We also touch on all of the AEW offerings. I can't believe they have three weekly shows now. Slim pickings in the figure news department, but that should heat up soon as SDCC is at the...

This week on the show we have a very special treat for you all: Casey Corbin returns to give us a first hand look at the past week's excellent PPV from Toronto, AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door! Like in the past, we chat Casey up about other things as well and it was a lot of fun. We also run some other stuff that happened on this historical day including the 1998 HIAC match between Mankind & Und...

Buckle up, folks as we have a bit of a long show this week, but I promise it is worth the listen. We get side tracked from time to time, but that's what makes the show fun, right? The Retro Raw was the go home show to KOTR '99 and there are some stipulations at stake in this one and it's a fun watch. We have a real mixed bag as we go "Into the Dorkness" with all sorts of figu...

This week on the show, we take a look at an entertaining episode of Raw in the "Retro Raw Review" as SCSA has taken up his position of CEO of the WWF.

We also give our thoughts on all of the current episod...

This week on the show we have a very diverse "History" section followed by a Retro Raw where we a re finally introduced to the Greater/Higher Power.

GCW Cage of Survival, Dynamite, and a really solid Rampage are all o...

This week on the show we do our best to recap a very busy weekend in the world of professional wrestling. All three major brands presented a big show with Double or Nothing, Night of Champions & Battleground. I think they all delivered and I'd love to hear what you all thought about them. As we step back in time for the Retro Raw Review, we are headed toward KOTR '99, but first we have...

This week on the show we toe the line between comedy & tragedy. A very somber Retro Raw in which we celebrate the life of Owen Hart 24 years after his untimely passing takes up the bulk of the show with good reason. We cover the matches a bit, but most of the time is spent listening to clips of the guys that worked with and loved Owen. From there we have a bit of figure news, but nothing subst...

This week on the show we are definitely in rare form. It was a fun one, albeit a bit morbid, but laughter is a great way to deal with heavy shit. We hit on all of the normal segments as the Retro Raw keeps trucking toward Over the Edge, which was the scene of Owen Harts untimely passing. We will cover that as well as the Raw after next week. We also talked about the big heel turn on Dynamite, a lu...

This week on the show we have a great time discussing a ton of stuff. Lots of fun info in the history section. The Retro Raw Review was a look back at the highest rated Raw in history as Comm.

Rate, review, subscr...

Come see us at the Rock County Fairgrounds for JWA Superstars & Collectibles this Saturday...

This week on the show we looked at the 4/19/99 episode of Monday Night Raw. The Rock was planning a funeral for Stone Cold Steve Austin after tossing him (and his title belt?) off a Detroit bridge. Austin had other plans. How many vehicles does this man know how to operate? From there we had a bunch of figure news tidbits from all over the place before jumping into The Stu where we spent the bulk...

This week on the show we take a look at some highs and lows in the history segment before jumping into the Retro Raw Review. The show contained a new champion as well as a call back to a classic segment from about 18 months prior. From there we had a few news items in the memorabilia and figure realm before discussing AEW, Raw, Smackdown and much more. Cheers!

This week on the show we have a ton of stuff to cover, including the two night WrestleMania extravaganza! Both nights were very good, with N1 edging out N2 in our opinion slightly. We also discuss the plethora of Mattel reveals that took place over the weekend. They are knocking it out of the park recently with these things. We saw so many cool things. We also hit on ROH Supercard of Honor, some G...

This week on the show we kick things off with a very diverse bit of wrestling history before checking out the Monday Night Raw that was held the day after WrestleMania 15.

From there, we chat about the recentl...

This week on the show we reviewed the go home Raw to WrestleMania 15. Stone Cold Steve Austin gets one over on The Corporation by dousing them with Coors Light and picking up a BIG win!

We also have some figure news, new arrivals and everything else you love about the show. Enjoy!

This week on the show we chat about the first couple of episodes of the new incarnation of ROH TV over on Honor Club. Some good stuff happening over on there! We took a look at the 3/15/99 episode of Monday Night Raw as they are building to WrestleMania 15 with The Rock vs Austin in the main event. It was a huge night for the New Age Outlaws!  We also ran down the latest AEW offerings as well...

On this week’s giant sized episode we take a look at a pretty good Retro Raw (that included possibly the best “Sign of the Times” we have come across yet, but the bulk of the show is spent recounting the weekend in San Francisco. Sadly, due to Covid, Adam was forced to miss the trip. Mat pressed on solo but met up with some new and old friends and still had a memorable experience. The travel, West...

This week on the show we talk all about the 3/1/99 WWF Raw in the Retro Review. We are starting to get the formation of the card for WrestleMania 15, and all of your Attitude Era folks are on this show (though very few of the matches have a definitive winner). "On This Day..." was a very big day for The Beast from the East as Bam Bam Bigelow won two championships on March 1st. We also checked out...

This week on the show we take a look at a very entertaining Retro Raw as we rundown the 2/22/99 episode that featured the first ever Inferno Match on television.

We also talked about the incredible Elimination Chamber PPV, AEW’s offerings this week, a trip to Ro...

Mat reveals any hits that were in the four AEW blasters that he purchased last week. From there we spend some time chatting about all...

This week on the show we chat about ACW Wisconsin’s show this past Sunday at Tanners. New champ alert! It was a good one. We also talk about the Raw before St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, which happened to be the most attended Raw of all time as almost 42,000 fans packed the Sky Dome in Toronto. We also ran down a ton of other pro wrestling programming. NXT: Vengeance Day, Raw, Smackdown, Dynamite,...
