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!

The denizens of AT&T Stadium were hotly anticipating 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's return to the ring as Kevin Owens had promised Austin would be his guest for a special edition of the KO Show where the Rattlesnake was set to confront Owens about his previous comments denigrating Texas. The match itself wasn't announced ahead of time, and nor was the opponent of Seth Rollins, with Vince McMahon promising him a mystery opponent on the show, that would turn out to be Cody Rhodes making his return to WWE. All that, plus two Women's Title matches- Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey and Bianca Belair taking on Becky Lynch.

Will the NWO come out on top, how about D-Generation X, will the Four Horsemen take the prize, or maybe the Bullet Club will have their day in the sun? Could Paul Heyman take it with either The Dangerous Alliance or The Bloodline, or will a trio like The Shield or The Freebirds reign supreme?

Sunday Dec 31, 2023
On this New Year's Eve episode of RWR Now, we take a very quick look back at 2023 through the prism of a number of news stories that impacted the industry. The WWE merger with UFC parent-company, Zuffa, removal of Vince McMahon and the booking direction of Triple H all get a mention. From the AEW side they presented the biggest non-WWE show in history at Wembley in the summer but seem beset by problems including injuries, creative issues and TV deals potentially up for grabs- can Will Ospreay come in and save the day? It seems 2024 is going to be a lot of fun as we find out the answers.
