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 one of the most famous wrestling pay-per-views of all time, ECW was revived under the WWE banner for One Night Stand in 2005. The show was a tribute to a wrestling company that, with limited resources, had revolutionised professional wrestling in the 1990's before going out of business in 2001. Here, among other matches, Lance Storm faces Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit takes on Kurt Angle, Psicosis and Rey Mysterio do battle and The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer go up against The Dudley Boys, and all the while, wrestlers from Raw and Smackdown have threatened to invade the show.

The upshot was this show which featured Kevin Owens' main roster debut, the first ever tag team Elimination Chamber match, Seth Rollins defending the WWE Title against Dean Ambrose, and a battle for the vacant Intercontinental Title in another Chamber bout.
