ECW Barely Legal

It's a new season on The Random Wrestling Review following the Wrestlemania 41 double header, and what better way to get things kicked off with a journey to the extreme! ECW spent a long time attempting to get onto pay-per-view, and finally made it in April of 1997 with Barely Legal a show that played host to the match between Taz and Sabu which had been 18 months in the making. Also, Terry Funk, The Sandman and Stevie Richards were all vying for a chance to take on Raven for the ECW World Title in the main event.

RWR Now: Twist, Stick or Bust 2025 (WWE Raw Roster)

Following the WrestleMania festivities we've hit the point in the calendar where we evaluate the WWE roster and determine what we would do with each of the talents in the company. We can Twist (give them a renewed push up the roster), Stick (accept that we are happy with their place on the card and keep them there) or Bust (downgrade them on the card, or even release them from the company). Today we take on all members of the WWE Raw Roster.

AEW World's End 2023

The 2nd half of 2023 was an interesting time for AEW- the company set records with their Wembley show earlier in the year but that night was also CM Punk's last working for them. By December, the roster was badly in need of reinforcements due to departures and injuries and they would be coming in the new year, in the meantime, AEW had their final pay-per-view of the year to hold- World's End. The show would host MJF's defence of the AEW Title against Samoa Joe, the final of the Continental Classic between Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston, and a no DQ match between Christian Cage and Adam Copeland.
