Ricky & Clive Wrestling Show

With Ricky unavailable this week, I (Clive) have done the unthinkable and actively watched some AEW! Starting with the Dynamite before Revolution, followed by the PPV. Listen to why I made that choice, and what I thought about the show. My thoughts on the latest controversies surrounding WWE after Supershowdown heading into Wrestlemania are discussed. I finish with an unfortunate announcement abou...

With roughly eighteen months to its name, as well as three Takeover events and one on its way, we sit down this week to take a deep dive into NXT UK. How has it faired since its debut episode? Is it showing signs of growth? Where does it stand in stature alongside WWE's other in-ring brands? We look at these questions and more, before finishing up with an NXT UK quiz.  Make Ricky & Clive’s...

We here at R&C studios are proud to have on the show fellow Scot, BBC and Sportskeeda's Gary Cassidy . Gary's hungry and no-nonsense reporting in recent months has seen him land big scoops with William Regal, Rhea Ripley, and even Bowling For Soup. He also caused waves last month for being the go-between in the HHH and Paige mini-scandal during the now infamous BT Sports bus tour. We a...

With our podcast “card subject to change”, what was intended to be our first “Unplanned & Unleashed” episode of 2020 ended up becoming a deep dive into our WWE and wrestling fandom. First memories of Raw, Smackdown, NXT and so on. We then came back to the present(ish) and looked at the beginning of our podcast before Social Suplex took us under its wing. Indulge us as we put ourselves and our...

The relationship between Insane Championship Wrestling and WWE has come under close scrutiny in recent times, especially with the rise of NXT UK. The Glasgow based promotion have taken measures of late that indicate they are looking to rise to the prominence they once had a few years ago. This past weekend’s Square Go supershow did wonders from both a creative and business standpoint to make that...

The first Big 4 weekend of WWE’s 2020 is in the bag and, as you would expect, there are many many talking points. Join us as we break down both Worlds Collide and Royal Rumble, both of which Ricky and Clive had very differing opinions on for various reasons. We look in detail at the story told in the Men’s Rumble, including Edge’s return, as well as the rest of the matches. We have Murray Bone bac...

Join us this week as we look ahead to the first bumper weekend of 2020 for WWE. Ricky and Clive look at the cards for both Royal Rumble and Worlds Collide. We answer some Rumble questions along the way, throw some shade Matt Hardy and John Cena's way, and finish with a Rumble themed quiz. Make Ricky & Clive’s #PodcastingHouseHusband dreams a reality by getting your very own Ricky & Cli...

On this week's episode, Ricky & Clive discuss NXT UK's return to Blackpool for the brand's third Takeover, a night that had Match of The Year contenders and heartaches in equal amounts. We then answer some listener questions surrounding the Royal Rumble and the skeletons in wrestlers' cupboards. We finish with a wrestler name challenge quiz.    Make Ricky & Clive’s #Podcast...

Murray Bone is welcomed back to the show for the first podcast recorded in 2020 (with a fleeting visit from #SympathyforRicky). As the year wound down for western wrestling, New Japan was gearing up for its annual supershow, Wrestle Kingdom 14. Murray and I talk over the two nights and their immediate fallout. We then move on to our wishlist for wrestling in 2020. From the serious and the personal...

After months of anticipation, delays, photo finishes, and squash matches, the final of the first (and last) QuizTime Invitational has arrived! Join me, your quizmaster for this evening (#SympathyForRicky), as friend of the show Rance Morris takes on Social Suplex and keepin’ It Strong Style’s very own “Young Boy” Joshua Smith. With KISS’ Jeremy Donovan joining us as a spectator, the tensions were...

Mags & Bags from the “Why We Watch” and “Badlands” podcasts takes the guest seat for this week’s show (#SympathyForRicky). Although not a structured rundown of July to December of 2019, this conversation was dominated by what has also ruled over the IWC for the last few months: the “Wednesday Night War”. WWE and AEW’s fans have been at each other’s digital throats for what seems like forever n...

Please welcome back to the show Mr Paul Tolley from 5 Nerds Go and Badlands fame, as Ricky is unable to join us this week (Get well soon, Ricky). With the end of what was arguably the most shockingly bonkers year the professional wrestling world has ever seen, we decided to start our month of special episodes with a look at 2019 as a whole. However, with so many talking points to cover, we decided...

The final Big 4 Weekend of WWE’s 2019 is in the bag, and the message was clear: “NXT WINS LOL”. Both from a PPV standpoint, and as far as results at Survivor Series go, the black and gold brand reigned supreme this past weekend. With Ricky unavailable due to family commitments, Clive took the stick for another solo show. Wargames and Survivor Series were discussed in length, looking at the highlig...
