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!

After the purchase of WCW by WWE, Vince and company had a decision to make about when they were going to pull the trigger on an on-screen war between the two. Their decision to go with the feud just a few short months after purchasing the company, and with a WCW roster bereft of big names, remains a heated point of discussion to this day, some 24 years after the fact. This week we delve into the storyline and more specifically the show perhaps most associated with it.

As the podcast looks back at important and significant events from history it seemed only fitting that we included the first ever Clash of the Champions TV special- an event famous for its main event where WCW World Champion, Ric Flair, battled Sting in a match where Sting became a made man having been presented as 'The Nature Boy's equal throughout. There was much more to the event than just the headlining contest however, and this week, we take you through it all.

The pipebomb promo, the raucous Chicago crowd and a main event still lauded as one of WWE's best- when determining the events to cover for a series that asks what shows we would like to cover should the podcast end tomorrow, this one just had to be on it. Said main event sees CM Punk challenging John Cena for the latter's WWE Title with Punk threatening to leave the company with the belt should he win, and Vince McMahon promising that if Cena lost he'd be fired. Add in the obligatory Money in the Bank ladder matches and a battle for the World Heavyweight Title between Christian and Randy Orton, and you've got yourselves a show!
