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!

Last Sunday, WWE presented the latest edition of the Royal Rumble, and so, in a break from usual service, The Random Wrestling Review will, for the first time ever, be reviewing a show which has only just taken place! It was an event which included two rumble matches- won by Bianca Belair and Edge, as well as a Last Man Standing, Universal Title match between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens, and Goldberg's attempt at taking Drew McIntyre's WWE Title. In addition to all this, the Royal Rumble saw the return of Christian, Sasha Banks defending the Smackdown Women's Title and a live musical performance from Bad Bunny...

Considered by many to be the best Royal Rumble of all time, the 1992 edition of the show is remembered best for being the night Ric Flair won both the rumble match, and in the process, the WWF World Title. In addition to the near 1 hour performance by 'The Nature Boy', this episode also looks at the start of the Hogan and Sid feud, Roddy Piper's first, and only, championship victory in the WWF as well as all other aspects of both the rumble itself, and the undercard.

In January 1997, WCW put on the first (and last) nWo promoted pay-per-view, Souled Out 1997. Featuring all nWo vs. WCW matches, it was the latest innovation of the ultra successful nWo angle, coming as it did just 6 months into the storyline that would change pro wrestling. At the show, WCW World Champion, 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan defended his title against The Giant, The Outsiders put their tag straps up for grabs against The Steiner Brothers and Syxx battled Eddie Guerrero in a ladder match for the United States Title. We cover all of this, as well as the rest of the show, and the quite phenomenally bad 'Miss NWO' competition that runs throughout.

What else could the world need more in 2021, than yet another podcast featuring 3 white guys in their 30's talking about wrestling?! Actually a lot more, but we're hoping you'll settle for this. Ben, Tom and Sam are 3 long-time friends from Bristol who have each been watching wrestling for the last 30 years and here, each week, they will select a wrestling show from the past at random and then talk about it. It's a heady mix of in-depth analysis, juvenile irreverence and everything in between.
