The Random Wrestling Review and its sister shows bring you an explicit mess of in-depth wrestling analysis and puerile humour. The main show focuses on a single event from any point in history and breaks it down crudely and with no apologies. RWR Now focusses on events currently taking place in wrestling. The Game is a quiz series featuring regular guests on the panel battling out to show their supremacy over one another. BracketMania sees the crew whittle 16 down to 1 in pursuit of finding the best of any given category and there a number of bonus and special episodes about a plethora of other things. We have covered topics and shows dating from 1984 through to the present day from a variety of promotions including WWE, WCW, AEW, ECW, NWA, NXT and AWA, so there is bound to be something you like when you join Tinky, Old Man, Tom, Stephen, Matt, Alex and other guests as they fumble their way through wrestling’s rich past, present and even future. Listeners beware! This show is not suitable for young ears!

It's time for the latest show down for The Game title as Gavin 'Relentless' Duenas, currently with a 3-0 undefeated record, defends the title against 'Old Man' Sam Carey. Long time listeners will remember Sam won only 1 of his matches in the Round Robin but that win came against Stephen Coriander in what has become known as the 'Giant Killing of the Century'- so can Old Man live up to that with another major upset today?

The pipebomb promo, the raucous Chicago crowd and a main event still lauded as one of WWE's best- when determining the events to cover for a series that asks what shows we would like to cover should the podcast end tomorrow, this one just had to be on it. Said main event sees CM Punk challenging John Cena for the latter's WWE Title with Punk threatening to leave the company with the belt should he win, and Vince McMahon promising that if Cena lost he'd be fired. Add in the obligatory Money in the Bank ladder matches and a battle for the World Heavyweight Title between Christian and Randy Orton, and you've got yourselves a show!

It's a new season on The Random Wrestling Review following the Wrestlemania 41 double header, and what better way to get things kicked off with a journey to the extreme! ECW spent a long time attempting to get onto pay-per-view, and finally made it in April of 1997 with Barely Legal a show that played host to the match between Taz and Sabu which had been 18 months in the making. Also, Terry Funk, The Sandman and Stevie Richards were all vying for a chance to take on Raven for the ECW World Title in the main event.

Following the WrestleMania festivities we've hit the point in the calendar where we evaluate the WWE roster and determine what we would do with each of the talents in the company. We can Twist (give them a renewed push up the roster), Stick (accept that we are happy with their place on the card and keep them there) or Bust (downgrade them on the card, or even release them from the company). Today we take on all members of the WWE Raw Roster.

Wrestlemania is here again!
