  • Summary

  • Wrasslin’ Raw is a wrestling podcast that centers around three friends doing a deep-dive into World Wrestling Entertainment’s past. Starting in 1993, Joe, Ryan, and Jason take a look back at old-school wrestling by watching the WWE show Monday Night Raw in chronological order, along with the Pay-Per-Views as they happen. Bringing together three different viewpoints that sometimes agree and sometimes don’t, Wrasslin’ Raw is a round table discussion centered around individual episodes and events. Our hosts give opinions on matches, wrestlers, and storylines, as well as brief glimpses into the then-contemporary world of professional sports entertainment. Fans of wrestling from their early youth, the boys decided one day to start re-watching old episodes of Raw. This started a texting discussion thread that wound up revealing some reevaluations of old favorites, new appreciation for things overlooked, and an overall richer viewpoint that has been informed by hindsight. Realizing this, the suggestion to record a podcast of the discussion was made and Wrasslin’ Raw was born. WELCOME EVERYONE- TO WRASSLIN’ RAWWWWWW!

    It’s time to address the age old question: what’s better, two wrestlers in the ring or two implants outside of it? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys review the go-home show leading into the No Way Out of Texas Pay Per View. Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels continue to fire shots at each other, and Ken Shamrock looks good getting blasted in the face with a chair by The Rock. The Jackyl shows up to ruin a Steve Blackman match, and while he’s an uncouth imbecile, he’s no blue chipper!

    This isn’t cool- this isn’t hip! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys tune in to a classic episode, with a lengthy story involving Cactus Jack, Chainsaw Charlie, and the New Age Outlaws. “Merolyndust” does a great job of being bizarre, the NWA does a great job of being terrible, and the Kurgan does a great job of dragging a jobber by his forehead. Tiger Ali Singh graces the screen, and Wink Collins almost gets murdered by Kane. Damn it, somebody’s got to make fun of Sable!

    THEY RUINED IT! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get the fallout from the shove heard ‘round the world, and a pretty filler-heavy episode of Monday Night Raw. Ken Shamrock continues to get lumped in with the lump-heavy Ahmed Johnson, and now the Disciples of Apocalypse join the mix. The NWA angle gets more bloated, while Shawn Michaels continues to stir the pot between Mike Tyson and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Owen Hart wins the European Title… but here’s Jerry’s Kid!
