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!

As the Wrestlemania series on The Random Wrestling Review continues, we have reached 2003 and the 19th edition of the 'The Showcase of the Immortals', which is handy, as we have already covered it! 2 years ago we sat down to review a night which saw Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle headline the show, The Rock and Steve Austin do battle for their 3rd time at Wrestlemania, Triple H defend the World Heavyweight Title against Booker T, Vince McMahon face Hulk Hogan and Chris Jericho's contest with Shawn Michaels, which many think is one of the best matches in the history of the event.

Since the previous year's event, WWE had been through the WCW/ECW invasion and come out the other end, only to face the return of Hulk Hogan and the NWO. That return would result in one of the biggest matches in Wrestlemania history- Hogan vs. The Rock. However, the match between two icons didn't make it to the main event of this show, as Triple H, also returning after a long term injury, faced Chris Jericho in the match that went on last, for the WWE Undisputed Title. Also on the bill, The Undertaker took on 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, and Steve Austin battled Scott Hall.

In a special bonus episode of The Random Wrestling Review, we discuss WWE's decision to re-introduce the World Heavyweight Title alongside the belts already held by Roman Reigns, and the related topic of the draft/roster split which WWE have recently also brought back. We discuss whether any of this is a good idea, how the draft can be done well and whether we have any faith whatsoever that it will be.

One week after purchasing their main competition, WCW, WWE put on one of the most celebrated (and celebratory) events in its history, the 2001 edition of Wrestlemania- X-Seven. Headlined by the 2nd 'Mania contest between the two biggest stars in the business- The Rock defending the WWE Title against 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, it also had an undercard to die for. Triple H vs. The Undertaker, TLC 2 for the Tag Team Titles pitting The Dudleys, Edge & Christian and The Hardy Boyz against one another for the 2nd year in a row, as well as Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon in a Street Fight and much more.

With both 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Undertaker being out of action, WWE was in a difficult position going into Wrestlemania 16- Mick Foley's planned retirement had to be delayed, The Rock was cast into the lead babyface position and the McMahon family became a bigger part of the story than ever as the two members of The Rock N Sock Connection were joined by Triple H and The Big Show in a 4-way match that had a McMahon in every corner for the main event. Underneath, The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz and Edge & Christian revolutionised the ladder match in an historic fight over the WWE Tag Titles.

Just 6 weeks ago we asked whether Sami Zayn should have defeated Roman Reigns in his big match at Elimination Chamber and here we are again- another major show, another victory for The Tribal Chief- but should Cody have taken the win instead? And, what was behind the decision to have Roman go over? Was this Triple H's plan all along, or did the merger between WWE and UFC, that was announced the day after 'Mania this year, play a part? We discuss all of this on this bonus episode of the pod...

The Random Wrestling Review reaches the 15th edition of Wrestlemania on its voyage through all of the Wrestlemanias. This one occurred deep into the Attitude Era and presented the culmination of the legendary feud between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon, as Austin challenged McMahon's hand picked Corporate Champion, The Rock. Underneath, this show saw a Triple H double turn of sorts, during his match with Kane and his DX stablemate's contest for the European Title against Shane McMahon, the ceremonial hanging of Big Bossman, and the end of Bart Gunn's WWE career in the infamous Brawl For All.

Following a tweet by Stephen Corriander (@ProWMoments) recently, where he declared Kenny Omega's superiority in-ring to Shawn Michaels, which received an amazing amount of backlash, we thought we'd revisit the debate! Along the way we'll discuss how you even go about judging something like this, whether 'the best ever' is a thing possible to comprehend, and what factors would go in to judging such a question...
