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

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!

It’s a two-man booth tonight!  In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys watch the fifth anniversary episode of Monday Night Raw in the lead-up to the Royal Rumble Pay Per View.   A Jobber of the Week double-header props up a match with the Kurgan and Jackyl, a four-man tag team match tries to prop up the limping tag team division, and Taka Michinoku jobs out to Los Boricuas. Goldust cosplays as Sable and Dude Love on the same night, and- oh no!  It’s the Honky Tonk Man!

What’s the best way to kick off 1998? By bringing back the NWA Championship!  In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys start off 1998 with a bang.  Ken Shamrock and Faarooq keep up the story, while the Disciples of Apocalypse and the Truth Commission fail miserably.  Tom Brandi shows up again to defend Sable from Marc Mero, while The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust manages to go beyond bizarre and into offensive.  How about a nostalgia pop for Don King?

It’s an annual awards show extravaganza!  In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys sit down to talk about the highlights of the World Wrestling Federation in 1997, and give the much-coveted Match of the Year and Jobber of the Year Awards out to some very deserving nominees.  The Highlights and Lowlights of the year are discussed, as well as what the future may hold moving forward.  Buckle up kids, 1998 is going to be a hell of a ride!
