WWE: Raw September 25, 1995 01.02.2021

No wrestlers were injured during the course of the Marty Jannetty match! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are treated to multiple servings of the Two Dudes with Attitude, which only serves to enhance the viewing experience… just kidding! There's a great Tag Team Championship match where even Yokozuna looks decent, the Undertaker and British Bulldog have what starts as a great match, and...

WWE: In Your House 3 25.01.2021

Get ready for the SWERVE BRO!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at one of the lesser talked about Pay Per Views, with matches featuring Razor Ramon versus Dean Douglas, Bret Hart versus Jean-Pierre Lafitte, and Waylon Mercy versus the ravages of age.  Jim Ross on commentary delivers a nostalgic jewel, until Vince McMahon starts talking over him, and James E. Cornette goes sho...

WWE Raw: September 18, 1995 18.01.2021

Surprise, it's the go-home episode of In Your House 3! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at the show that will take us into a Pay Per View without really feeling like it. There's a slight blowoff with Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid, more solid wrasslin' from Jean-Pierre Lafitte, and existential truths from Bret "The Hitman" Hart.  If anybody needs a breakdown of the "Triple Hea...

WWE Raw: September 11, 1995 11.01.2021

Quick show of hands: who's sad that Lex Luger is gone? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys evaluate the shifting status of the 1-2-3 Kid, and the convoluted nature of the upcoming All-Titles match between Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Yokozuna and Owen Hart.  Isaac Yankem debuts his finisher, the DDS, and Todd Pettingzoo graces us with an In Your House 3 report.  It only took months to get there,...

WWE: SummerSlam 1995 04.01.2021

Welcome to SummerSlime 1995!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at SummerSlam 1995, with an all-time-great: Ladder Match 2 between Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels; and an all-time-worst Championship match: Diesel and King Mabel.  There are plenty of ups and downs in between, star ratings from Dave Meltzer, duds and high-star ratings alike… oh, and the much anticipated in-ring d...

Christmas Show 2020 28.12.2020

It's our annual Christmas episode, and once again it's time for the boys to hand out their Mount Crushmores, their newly-thought-of "Top 3" lists for Christmas of 2020. Sit back, have a drink, and enjoy the Christmas Crushmore cheer!

WWE Raw: August 21, 1995 21.12.2020

Surprise surprise! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are treated to the best finish for a go-home episode of Raw since it began in January of 1993. There's a rollercoaster of ups and downs, featuring talents like the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith and King Mabel. Dean Douglas reports to us from an A/V closet, and everyone laments the treatment of Jean-Pierre LaFitte. The only way this ep...

WWE Raw: August 14, 1995 14.12.2020

Welp, Dean Douglas is back to being terrible… In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get a unique matchup with Hunter Hearst Helmsley taking on Jeff Hardy, the on-screen vignette debut of Goldust, and Henry O. Godwin slopping around everywhere.  Interim President Gorilla Monsoon finally delivers the payoff for that long-smoldering feud between Alundra Blayze and Bertha Faye, but can't deliver...

WWE Raw: August 7, 1995 07.12.2020

Jason's back, and Yoko is back to mediocrity!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are treated to one hell of a jobber performance, and get into it about what kind of heat works.  Isaac Yankem, DDS, has a gross mouth, but Dean Douglas is boring and pedantic - why does one work and the other doesn't? Gorilla Monsoon is the interim president, and he gives the people what they want:  Diesel vs...

WWE Raw: July 31, 1995 30.11.2020

Jason's out sick, and the world goes crazy!  Joe and Ryan get great matches out of both Mabel and Yokozuna, more excellent work from Savio Vega and Owen Hart, and a Jobber of the Week whose name holds a special place in the hearts of our hosts.  SummerSlam reports begin, and the way that storylines are being pushed continues to entertain.  If we get a RAW this good, maybe we should be "sans" Bartl...

WWE Raw: July 24, 1995 23.11.2020

Let's all just take a minute and GUSH over Shawn Michaels!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get some real treats from Barry Deddenski, Waylon Mercy, and the Smoking Gunns.  Bret Hart and Hakushi have a knock-down drag-out clinic of a match, and the on-screen debuts of Goldust and Dean Douglas have everyone moaning and groaning.  It's all fun and games until a pirate steals your sack ful...

WWE: In Your House 2 16.11.2020

BIG AL ON THE GEE-TAR!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at In Your House 2, and all of the shenanigans that Double J Jeff Jarrett got into in Nashville, Tennessee.  Some lackluster matches from Bam Bam Bigelow and the Allied Powers are balanced out by an excellent 1-2-3 Kid singles match with the Roadie, and (finally!) a Match of the Year candidate with Shawn Michaels and Do...

WWE Raw: July 17, 1995 09.11.2020

Daddyyyyyy!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys examine the 'go home' episode of Monday Night Raw, leading into In Your House 2.  Dr. Isaac Yankem, DDS, is entertaining once again; the finer points of Jean-Pierre Lafitte appreciation are discussed; and you guessed it, Bam Bam loves his Big Daddy!  Who would have thought that a pirate would start stealing shit?

WWE Raw: July 10, 1995 02.11.2020

Ladies and gentlemen, Rip Taylor!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get treated to the best content that Danville, PA, has to offer. Jason cums day and night for Hunter Hearst Helmsly, Ryan gushes for Barry Horowitz's first win, Joe pops his ass off for Savio Vega, and everyone loves the Isaac Yankem, DDS, vignette.  The Razor Ramon all-over t-shirt is all over the place - as in all over...

WWE Raw: July 3, 1995 26.10.2020

Are you ready for In Your House 2 reports? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys put over the Brooklyn Brawler and Barry Horowitz, the 1-2-3 Kid gets himself over, and everyone is over Jerry Lawler's mouth! Sid nearly destroys Bam Bam Bigelow's career yet again, and Waylon Mercy debuts.  Yummy yummy yummy!

WWE Raw: June 26, 1995 19.10.2020

And now, the biggest piece of baggage you'll ever see… Wrasslin' Raw!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at the Raw that aired the night after the 1995 King of the Ring.  There are matches from Savio Vega, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and others.  Jason pops his ass off for Skip, Joe continues to look forward to Waylon Mercy, and Ryan has nothing but positives to say for the whole...

WWE: King of the Ring 1995 12.10.2020

Well, folks, this Pay Per View certainly lives up to its reputation.  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the 1995 King of the Ring tournament is overshadowed by the Kiss My Foot Match and the Super Best Friends Tag Match featuring Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow.  And that's not necessarily a bad thing, as Mabel's transition to King Mabel is something worth forgetting. Savio Vega gets his push, but the...

WWE Raw: June 19, 1995 05.10.2020

We stand.... in de-feet.  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys look at the go-home episode of Raw, leading into the 1995 King of the Ring.  We get great matches from Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Shawn Michaels, and not-so-great matches from the Headshrinkers and Adam Bomb.  The "Kiss My Foot" match gets mentioned once or twice, and we get a Monday Night Raw first when the fans want to see a ma...

WWE Raw: June 12, 1995 28.09.2020

I like worms… In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the Yokozuna/Lex Luger feud is further beaten to death in a match that Ryan absolutely loved.  We get the promo debut of Waylon Mercy, another fantastic Jobber of the Week, and yet another Man Mountain Rock (that's MMR to you, folks) match that results in a large woman weeping over a weenie guitar. Order now to get your WWF pog Slammer, everyone!

WWE Raw: June 5, 1995 21.09.2020

It can never end on a good note!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys watch a mostly enjoyable episode, filled with great matches from The Bodydonnas, Savio Vega, Owen Hart, and the British Bulldog.  Ryan's Jobber of the Week is one of the best that's been seen so far, and viewers are treated to Jim Ross on commentary for one excellent match.  Shitty booking strikes again in the end, though...

WWE Raw: May 29, 1995 14.09.2020

I'm gonna be your best friend!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get jobbers galore, both in actual jobbers and in "top-quality" talent like Adam Bomb and Mabel.  Ryan maintains his jobber of the week streak, Jason is an idiot, and Joe might be leaning towards the Backlund Bandwagon.  Also, Sid gets extra squashy, and Hakushi gets a head above the rest!

WWE Raw: May 22, 1995 07.09.2020

You're lower than shit! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are treated to not only one of the best Raws ever, but also the best King Kong Bundy match ever! There are many high spots in this one, so you'll just have to tune in and find out what they are. The cock-holster is the shit factor!

WWE Raw: May 15, 1995 31.08.2020

CRANK IT UP, ROCK!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get into the first Raw that aired after the In Your House Pay Per View.  Many issues crop up, including Jason's nostalgia for Bob Backlund, Ryan's excellent selection for Jobber of the Week, and Joe's personal professional strategy on how to audit somebody who's standing in your way.  Unfortunately, the beginnings of Bam Bam's burial b...

WWE: In Your House 1 24.08.2020

Wait, did you know they were giving away a house?  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at the first-ever In Your House Pay Per View, and all of the wrasslin' contained within!  The Million Dollar Mastermind's multi-generational plan comes to fruition, some kid wins a house, and Jerry Lawler's "mother" gets rated "6 inches at 100 miles per hour."  They weren't lying when they sai...

WWE Raw: May 8, 1995 17.08.2020

Behold, Ewatemela, greatest lion of Africa and ever!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys examine the 'go-home' episode of Monday Night Raw, leading into the first ever In Your House Pay Per View.  It's certainly better than expected, with gems such as the best Donk match so far, and another high-quality Sid promo.  We are lucky enough to have a Jobber of the Week, and Joe blows both Jason...
