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!

This week on the Random Wrestling Review, we take a look back at WWE's Extreme Rules event from 2015. Just one month after cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase at Wrestlemania 31 to win the WWE Title, Seth Rollins was defending the belt against the man who had defeated him earlier that night, Randy Orton, in a steel cage match. Orton would not only have to contend with his opponent however, but also the attention of The Authority, with Kane inserted as the special guest gapekeeper of the cage door. Also on the show, Roman Reigns battles The Big Show in a Last Man Standing match and John Cena and Rusev fight over the United States Title.

In the first of this year's 3-part Wrestlemania extravaganza, we look back to Wrestlemania X, a night that is largely remembered for two of Wrestlemania's greatest matches- the dramatic opener between brothers Bret and Owen Hart, and the innovative ladder match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon over the Intercontinental Title. In addition to those two contests, the show sees all the usual celebrity appearances, a Bill Clinton impersonator, two world title matches, a falls-count-anywhere match with the strangest rules ever and a 10-man tag match get cancelled as the heel team couldn't decide on a team captain...
