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!

In order to make sure we keep up our regular commitment to you of one episode per week we thought we would round up all the stuff that has taken place in the wake of WrestleMania including our thoughts on the documentary that seemed to dominate that show throughout the weekend, Hulk Hogan: Real American. We also discuss the latest round of post 'Mania releases and check in with AEW- the Darby Allin title win, the general quality of the product and our hopes for this year's All In.

So after the first night of this year's WrestleMania was adjudged by us to be an almost complete wash out, could WWE recover the weekend on Night 2? That is the question we'll be looking to answer with our latest episode. A lot was riding on the main event which saw CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Title against Roman Reigns, and the much anticipated contest between Brock Lesnar and 'The Next Big Thing' Oba Femi.

The WrestleMania series is back, albeit temporarily, as we bring you full coverage of both nights of this year's event, starting with Night 1 here. After the speculation surrounding ticket prices and sales, and a general feeling that the build to the show has been less than stellar, would WWE be able to deliver on the night? Cody Rhodes was facing Randy Orton in the main event, meanwhile underneath, Stephanie Vaquer defended the Women's Title against Liv Morgan and Gunther battled Seth Rollins.

For the 3rd year in a row, the same crew come together to look ahead to this weekend's WrestleMania- an event mired in scrutiny after a year of creative that many feel has been less than stellar and which comes while some are calling the 'Ruthless Depression' era. Can WWE put all that aside to deliver on the biggest weekend in the calendar, or will overly conservative booking, and the ongoing interference of TKO, lead to disaster?

It's our last stop on the series of significant events in history, and to round things off ahead of WrestleMania season, it felt only right to get as far away from the glitz and glam of the 42nd edition of the Grandaddy of them all as possible, and a trip to 1988 AWA with their SuperClash III event. This was a big last effort by the remaining hold outs of the territory age to come together and try to keep the WWE and NWA wolves from the door, with the American Wrestling Association teaming up with CWA from Memphis, WCCW from Texas and women's promotion POWW to put on their one and only foray into pay-per-view,

The esteem of being called the first proper Pay-Per-View in wrestling history doesn't go to Starrcade 1983, or even the first ever WrestleMania, it goes to a show that took place just a few months later in 1985, The Wrestling Classic, featuring a one night, 16-man tournament and a World Title match pitting Hulk Hogan against his nemesis 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper.

WCW Road Wild is the destination for our latest podcast as WCW continued a celebrity tour that had been going most of the summer by bringing in late night talk show host, Jay Leno to team with DDP against Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff in the main event.
