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!

Following this weekend's Survivor Series premium live event, which saw War Games take centre stage at the show as the Bloodline fought the Brawling Brutes in the main event, we at the show thought we'd put a little bonus edition of the show out to specifically discuss that main event- whether we're happy with War Games being drafted in to replace the traditional elimination tag format, whether the match was any good, what the future is for Sami Zayn, who will be Roman Reign's next challenger and more...

At Wrestlemania IV, WWE presented a 14-man tournament to crown a new champion following the controversy that came about during Andre the Giant's victory against Hulk Hogan at the most watched wrestling show in American history, The Main Event. Hogan, Andre, Ted Dibiase, Greg Valentine, Ricky Steamboat, One Man Gang, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts and others lined up in the tournament in an attempt to win the belt, but Randy Savage would rise above them all, beating 4 men in one night and not only winning the big one, but in the process setting up the main event of the following year's event.

It's time for the big one on the Random Wrestling Review this time as we take on Wrestlemania 3- the night of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant's iconic stare down in front of an alleged crowd of 93,000. Underneath, Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat's Intercontinental Title match is often thought of as stealing the show, but what will we think of it? All our thoughts on those two massive matches, plus Junkyard Dog versus Harley Race and a contest that was billed as the final in Roddy Piper's career...

So we move on to Wrestlemania 2 on the Random Wrestling Review, an ambitious attempt by the WWE to run a show over 3 locations across the United States, each with its own main event, beginning with a boxing match between Roddy Piper and Mr T from New York, then a WWE vs. NFL Battle Royal in Chicago and finally Hulk Hogan vs. King Kong Bundy in a cage from Los Angeles. In between all that there is the usual programme of nonsense, celebrity appearances and the small matter of in-ring action that Wrestlemania tends to throw up...

WWE's Unforgiven 2003 pay-per-view was meant to herald the age of Bill Goldberg in the company with his World Heavyweight Title victory in the main event against defending champion Triple H, however, despite crowning Goldberg, the title reign didn't go as hoped and the man himself would be out of the company less than a year later. In addition to that, our hosts discuss the Last Man Standing madness which saw Kane go up against Shane McMahon, the Intercontinental Title 3-way match between Christian, Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam, and also a coming-of-age style bout for Randy Orton as he battled Shawn Michaels.
