Wrestling Around

Wrestling Around goes back to 1992, and what some people consider the greatest Royal Rumble match of all time, containing Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Randy Savage to name just a few, but how does the rest of the card stack up? We dig deep. Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wresaround Facebook.com/wresaround Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Regular service resumes as Wrestling Around goes back to 2008 and the Royal Rumble event. Despite having Edge vs. Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy on the undercard, this show is all about one thing... John Cena's surprise return at #30! Well that's if you ask anyone apart from Lew, for him it's all about the food at Madison Square Garden! Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wresaround...

In a special bonus episode of Wrestling Around, Lew and Ross break down the 2021 Royal Rumble straight after it happened! Can a Royal Rumble without live fans in attendance actually work? In short, yes! Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wresaround facebook.com/wresaround Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Royal Rumble season on Wrestling Around, and this is the first of FOUR (yes, FOUR) Royal Rumble episodes! We head back 20 years to the 2001 event, as Stone Cold is gunning for his record third Royal Rumble win, there are plenty more surprises in the Rumble, with returns from Big Show, Honky Tonk Man and bonafide WWE Hall of Famer... Drew Carey! Elsewhere on the card is potentially one of the...

Wrestling Around take a look back at the legendary, and soon to be (or is he already?) WWE Hall of Famer... Drax! Or as he's better known to wrestling fans (I guess - Lew) 'The Animal' Batista! We discuss six of his best matches, and Ross provides us with some Batista facts you may or may not know... (you'll know 'em) Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wresaround Send us your comments/questions/...

We go back 15 years to WWE New Year's Revolution 2006, where Edge won his FIRST EVER WWE Championship. Has it really been that long? After a gruelling Elimination Chamber match, Vince McMahon popped up to ruin John Cena's night and announce Edge was cashing in his Money in the Bank! Elsewhere on the card, Triple H takes on the Big Show and Mickie James and Trish Stratus start their famous feud. Wr...

In a FIRST TIME EVER for Wrestling Around, we review two shows at once! We go back to January 4th 1999, where Mick Foley wins the title in a pre-taped Raw, but WCW counter with Goldberg vs. Nash, or do they? Shenanigans prevail and what we end up with is one of the most polarising moments in wrestling history (just kidding, everyone hated it) as Hogan defeats Kevin Nash with the dreaded fingerpoke...

In this special festive episode, the Wrestling Around crew take a look back at their favourite wrestling moments they've witnessed live. From WrestleManias to local promotions in town halls and everything in between, it's all covered here! Plus, who (or what) is the "bandit of Atlantic City", Walter Poob? Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wresaround Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mo...

The beginning of the end for WCW? We head back to Starrcade '97 and WCW's biggest ever PPV, where Sting makes his long awaited return to take on Hollywood Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. It's WCW vs. nWo, good vs. evil, there's only one logical conclusion right? That doesn't work for me brother... Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wresaround Hosted on Acast. See acast.com...

Six man Hell in a Cell match! In what's turned out to be Wrestling Around's longest episode to date, we go back 20 years to Armageddon 2000, where Mick Foley has set up the first ever six way Hell in a Cell match pitting Kurt Angle against The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, The Undertaker and err... Rikishi, but will Vince McMahon be able to stop it? Plus, The Coach stops by! Twitter.com/wresaround I...

We finally made it, it's the worst PPV of all time! Or is it? Well, yes, it is, but how bad is bad? Well, it's an ECW PPV with a disconcerting lack of weapon shots, lack of Sabu and A LOT of show favourite Bob Holly. Also, what happened to Bob Sapp?

Sixty men! Three rings! One... unholy giant mess? One month after Hulk Hogan accidentally killed The Giant before then getting disqualified against the very same Giant and then getting bearhugged by a Yetay, we reach World War 3! It's widely seen as WCW's answer to the Royal Rumble, but does it stack up? Nope. Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wresaround Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy f...

It's Survivor Series! It's Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart! It's... 1992? Yep, five years before the infamous Montreal Screwjob, Bret Hart defended his WWF Championship against Shawn Michaels in what is widely regarded to be their best match together (or so Ross tells us), further down the card we see a "traditional" Survivor Series match and the PPV debut of Yokozuna. All presented from the Wrestlin...

It's a deadly game... is it also Vince Russo's finest hour? We head back to Survivor Series 1998 as the vacant WWF Championship is on the line in a 14 man tournament. Vince McMahon is determined to stop Stone Cold Steve Austim and The Rock from winning the title, but is there a twist coming? Well yes, we put it in the thumbnail...

Wrestling Around goes "extreme" again, as we take a look back to ECW's November to Remember '99! This was Taz's last PPV as an ECW wrestler before he left for New York, as he goes up against RVD for the TV title. Elsewhere on the card, Mike Awesome defends his ECW Championship against Masato Tanaka and we see one of the first instance of the "ECW Originals"! Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wr...

Monster Trucks! THE YETAY! Hulk Hogan without a moustache? You can find all these and more at WCW Halloween Havoc '95! Is this a good show? Objectively no. Is this a good show to do a podcast about? Well Lew and Terry Goose have differing answers... Twitter.com/wresaround Instagram.com/wresaround Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With thanks to the inventor of women's wrestling, Stephanie McMahon, it's WWE Evolution! It's WWE's first ever all women's PPV headlined by Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella, but the real story is on the undercard, as Becky Lynch takes on Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match, potentially the greatest women's match in WWE history. Plus, a WCW legend drops by to say happy birthday to Terry Peter...

We go back to WWE Taboo Tuesday '04, where the fans are in charge! Fans get to vote on such options as Triple H's opponent for the World Heavyweight Championship, the stipulation between Ric Flair and Randy Orton, and err, what the divas wear in their "fulfil your fantasy" battle royal, but do the Wrestling Aroundheads' votes match those of the 2004 WWE audience? Not quite... Join us on socials! T...

We head back to TNA, but has it improved since it's first ever PPV? Well yes, obviously. TNA is in flux at the moment, with a lot of "TNA Originals" further down the card, and an influx of new stars, and Aces & 8s, at the top of the card, a fact the Wrestling Around crew can't seem to agree on...

Not one, not two, but THREE WWE Championship matches? That's what happened at WWE No Mercy '07! We're days after John Cena's historic title reign came to a disappointing end as he relinquished the title due to an injury, leaving WWE in a sticky situation... but that's when they're at their best! In a night of twists and turns, the WWE title switches three times between Triple H and Randy Orton, om...

Wrestling Around makes a quick return to the year 2000, as we revisit Unforgiven 2000! This is one of Terry Peters' favourite ever PPVs, but does it hold up to his nostalgia? Well, not quite... but with the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin, a grudge match between Triple H and Kurt Angle, and a main event featuring The Rock, Kane and The Undertaker, there sure is a lot to talk about! Ah the nostal...

Can it really be a 'B' show if its got TLC and a Hell in a Cell match? We find out! The main event of this forgotten classic is the epic John Cena vs. Edge TLC match that capped off their near year long feud, on the undercard the McMahons team up with the Big Show to take on DX inside Hell in a Cell, and Trish Stratus has her (first of many!) retirement match against Lita, in her hometown of Toron...

It's the 25th episode of Wrestling Around! So we head back to where it all began... WCW in 1996! By now, the nWo have formed and are running roughshod over WCW. It's up to Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Lex Luger and Sting to stop them, but can they get on the same page? Well, nope. Plus... more wasp based shenanigans! Join us on social media!

We go back to WARGAMES! for the first time, sort of... this isn't your regular WarGames, this is Russo's Revenge! Two teams of 5 (or 6) go head to head for the WCW Championship (yup...) inside three cages! You have to see it to believe it! If that feels too much though, Wrestling Around has you covered!

SummerSlam season is coming to an end here at Wrestling Around, but we're going out with a bang! We go back 20 years to SummerSlam 2000, where The Rock defends his WWF title against a warring Kurt Angle and Triple H, further down the card we have the first ever TLC match between the Hardys, the Dudley and "Christian and Edge" as well as an epic fall from the TitanTron from Shane McMahon! The only...
