  • 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!

    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!

    Who wants some more gang warfare? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get subjected to more of the Disciples of Apocalypse and Los Boricuas than they probably deserve. Barry Windham makes a shocking turn in favor of the NWA, the Quebecers take on Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie, and the New Age Outlaws are in action with the Godwinns. Sable gets flowers delivered, Tom Brandi is somehow still in the ring, and Ahmed Johnson is as big as ever. Here’s the shove heard ‘round the world!
