Vacation 10.08.2020

One might think that Wrasslin' Raw takes too many vacations, but what the listeners don't realize is that we send our people deep into weeds, investigating the hard-hitting topics, like Jeff Hardy's contact lenses!  Ryan is on location in the face of a hurricane, and Jason and Joe are taking the week off also.  We'll be back next week with the go-home episode of Raw, leading into the cheapest pay...

WWE Raw: May 1, 1995 03.08.2020

It's May Day, and Wrasslin' Raw is celebrating with the Episode 46 Jobber Spectacular!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys celebrate the careers of George Anderson, Butler Stevens, Dave Sigfried and more, showing us all why Ryan decided to give them the official designation of "Monday Night Specials."  Continuing the May Day celebration, the boys are also treated to matches featuring the A...

WWE Raw: April 24, 1995 27.07.2020

Hello Bertha Faye, goodbye women's division!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys discuss the most horrific debut they've seen yet, as Bertha Faye skips her way into our hearts and minds.  Diesel has a great match, Aldo Montoya soars to new cartoony heights, and Sid gives us more promo gold.  Set sail with "Lady Discovery" and witness the new lands (and new lows) of what the future holds!

WWE Raw: April 17, 1995 20.07.2020

We've only got two notes on this one!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys examine the debut of Jean-Pierre LaFitte, the advanced data mining strategy of the WWF, and an extremely entertaining 2-on-1 handicap match (not really) for the WWF Tag Team Championships.  With so many quality segments, like Weekend at Backlund's and In Your House Reports, it's amazing that we were able to fit in bo...

WWE Raw: April 10, 1995 13.07.2020

Is this a setup for a Jason Bartlett presidential run?  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Bartlett is off celebrating the birth of his nation, and Joe and Ryan take up the slack with a two-man commentary table.  We get the increased neckbeard of Yokozuna, a new cartoony debut, and Kama's new chain.  Can we get a tally on how many martial arts Kama uses against his opponents?

WWE Raw: April 3, 1995 06.07.2020

Whaddaya say?!?  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are coming back from WrestleMania 11 and into a brand new clusterfuck of storytelling.  Men on a Mission get their hair dyed black, Shawn Michaels and Diesel are friends now, and Lex Luger continues to ruin everything he's in.  On the plus side, we get one more dose of Nicky Turturro, one of the best matches of 1995 so far, and another gr...

WWE WrestleMania 11 29.06.2020

It's a special WrestleMania spectacular!  In this very special episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys got together to have some drinks, have some laughs, and review the biggest wrasslin' event of the year!  While widely considered as one of the worst WrestleManias of all time, some distilled lubrication eased the pain enough for Joe, Ryan, and Jason to have a great time, and we hope you have one too. ...

WWE Raw: March 27, 1995 22.06.2020

Hello to all of our Rawheads out there!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Jason observes Todd Pettingzoo's tongue up Vince's ass; Ryan gives us a lesson on tech and internet history since he's been denied a Jobber of the Week segment yet again; even Joe falls victim to WrestleMania 11, and has no contemporary Wrasslin' news for us.  It's official, Monday Night Raw has hit a new low, and this epis...

WWE Raw: March 20, 1995 15.06.2020

We are confident that Bam Bam is not made of snakes and alligators!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Jason continues to be terrified of Sid, Joe loves how "fucking weird" Paul Bearer is, and Ryan gets denied his Jobber of the Week segment yet again.  We're winding down to WrestleMania XI, and the wrasslin' well is drying up.  On a positive note? Donk gets killed!

WWE Raw: March 13, 1995 08.06.2020

Thank goodness, everything is back to normal!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Jason does a deep dive into the real racing career of Bob "Spark Plug" Holly, Ryan gets denied a "Jobber of the Week" segment, and Joe is disgusted enough by Ryan's talk of a King Kong Threesome that he becomes speechless.  We get the return of Bull Nakano, and the boys all pop their ass off for the one person that th...

Wrasslin' Raw Holiday Weekend 01.06.2020

Wrasslin' Raw Holiday Weekend

WWE Raw: March 6, 1995 25.05.2020

Did somebody request maximum Pettingzoo? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Joe's news segment takes a look at the Bam Bam/LT news conference, Ryan puts over Bob Backlund, Jason issues another public apology, and the boys all love the anchor match of the evening.  It's official: this was the best ending Raw has ever had!

WWE Raw: February 27, 1995 18.05.2020

The t-shirt contest continues!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Jason continues to pop his ass off for the Bam Bam vs. L.T. feud, Ryan discusses Donk's love of the armbar, and Joe gives us one of the single best news updates in Wrasslin' Raw history.  Also, in a stunning turn of events, Lex Luger wrestles in a candidate for Match of the Year… just kidding!

WWE Raw: February 20, 1995 11.05.2020

We're giving away a t-shirt!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Joe realizes he loves anyone named Rip, Ryan gives us the shocking news that he doesn't attend awards ceremonies, Jason gives his philosophy on referees, and the boys all pop their asses off for Shawn Michaels' new bodyguard.  How many times can we say 'jobber' in a single segment?

WWE Raw: February 6, 1995 04.05.2020

It's not the creative, it's the steroids!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys start to notice things that are distinctly "1995."  Jason gives his semi-professional opinion on the state of Man Mountain Rock's tie dye, Ryan brings us up to speed on Marcia Clark's topless photos, and Joe made it a point to write down that Oscar is the most useless manager of all time.  Even though "Bartlett a...

WWE Raw: January 30, 1995 27.04.2020

Welcome to Monday Night Jumbo!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get going on a decent episode after two rather large speedbumps at the beginning.  Jason pops his ass off for Bam Bam's apology, Joe critiques Kathie Lee Gifford's National Anthem performance, and Ryan's Jobber of the Week plays up his Cuban heritage as "David Peterson." Sign up for our Patreon to get "Encore Plus" episodes...

WWE Raw: January 23, 1995 20.04.2020

Apparently Shatner is both an ass and a dick?  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, things start out on a sober note, but quickly get back to their usual tenor when Jason laughs heartily at Bob Holly's apparent concussion.  Joe continues as a contributing expert, this time as a musician, and Ryan informs us all about the career of Property Formerly of Dr. Wolf. You knew what you were getting into whe...

WWE: Royal Rumble 1995 13.04.2020

Ladies and gentlemen, we truly apologize to you for what just happened- the 1995 Royal Rumble!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys go over the '95 Rumble, and reveal some interesting agreements and disagreements about what went on there.  Jason does his best to bury Stephanie Wiand and Joe does his best to bury the IRS v. Undertaker match, while Ryan can't handle 28 jobbers and is therefor...

WWE Raw: January 16, 1995 06.04.2020

Moooooo!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the Bob Holly crashing jokes are fast and furious. Ryan's Jobber of the Week is another potential victim of Gary Sabough, Joe flexes his investigative muscles by asking some hard-hitting questions, and Jason spends the majority of the episode confused.  King Kong Bundy is disgusting, and so is the debut of Mantaur.

WWE Raw: January 9, 1995 30.03.2020

Who wants to see some Raw underwear? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get treated to one of the most well-performed matches they've ever seen, and one of the worst matches they've ever seen.  Ryan gushes over William Shatner, Jason rediscovers his love of simple holds, and Joe has a relevant question for Pamela Anderson. Also, Hakushi debuts, Kama is still beating children, and two middl...

WWE Raw: January 2, 1995 23.03.2020

Are you ready for some great storytelling from real professionals? Well keep dreaming! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are treated to the first episode of 1995, and suffice it to say, 1995 is already living up to its reputation.  Ryan's Jobber of the Week is a sad story, Joe keeps fighting back against physical illness, and Jason is extremely excited by the announcement that the Harvey...

WWE: 1995 Preview 16.03.2020

Joe's sick of Lex Luger, both literally and figuratively!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Joe is out sick, and Ryan and Jason just won't do an episode without him.  In the meantime, the boys bullshit about matches and superstars to look forward to over the course of 1995. We're all looking forward to ladder matches and Sunny days!

WWE: 1994 In Review 09.03.2020

That's it folks, we're done with 1994!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys discuss their Match of the Year candidates: Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart and the Shawn Michaels/Razor Ramon Ladder Match from WrestleMania X, Bret Hart vs. The 1-2-3 Kid from Monday Night Raw, and Alundra Blayze vs. Bull Nakano from SummerSlam.  There's also the Highlights and Lowlights of 1994, Ryan's Jobber of the Year...

WWE Raw: December 26, 1994 02.03.2020

Vinnie Panchetta is in the house- how many different ways can the boys botch his last name?  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, Ryan and Jason both love the debut of Henry Godwinn, Joe loves it when Vince gets mouthy, and Ryan's Jobber of the Week holds a degree in biochemistry.  There still hasn't been an answer as to just who the fuck Dick Murdoch is, but now he's apparently legendary!

WWE Raw: December 19, 1994 24.02.2020

PaulyJ delivered better than Domino's ever could! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys mull over some serious questions:  Who's Kevin Nash? Who the fuck is Dick Murdoch? Who will be the Jobber of the Week this week? We're also treated to a Rip Taylor pop-in; Joe puts over Billy Gunn; Jason starts using the word 'honky'; Chris Avery gets a tit flick… and Ryan got a new book of insults!  It's...
