Wrasslin' Raw Ryan Orrico, Jason Bartlett, and Joe Giammatteo

How many times can Vader be killed, and who is the real supernatural entity here?  In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys examine this “tweener” Pay Per View on the road to WrestleMania.  Matches featuring Ken Shamrock, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Cactus Jack give a respectable showing, while the NWA angle, Jerry’s Kid, and Quebec vs. Arkansas stink the place up.  Sable takes ruining things to the next level, but at least Shawn Michaels is here, right? Right?

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!

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!

It took eleven seasons, but we’re finally mature!  In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys check out the 1998 Royal Rumble, the first of the Big Four of 1998.  The minis get an automatic dud, Luna rode the Mastodon up the three stars, and Shane McMahon debuts on our screens.  Dave Meltzer’s star ratings fall apart, despite all three faces of Foley showing up in the Rumble.  Shawn Michaels gets his balls grabbed by the Undertaker, and Mike Tyson loves Cold Stone!
