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!

    WWE Raw: March 2, 1998

    Gennifer Flowers? Are you kidding me?  In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get a huge step on the road to WrestleMania, with segments highlighting some of the greatest stories ever told.  Mike Tyson swerves everyone with D Generation-X, the Undertaker returns in a cinematic lightning bolt, and Barry Windham continues to leave his assless chaps on.  In an episode where everybody gets a crotch chop, the bigger concern is: how many times is the Legion of Doom going to die?

    WWE Raw: February 23, 1998

    Who asked for the Truth Commission and the Disciples of Apocalypse in a six man tag match?!?  In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys sit down to talk about matches featuring Bradshaw, Goldust, and Ken Shamrock.  Jeff Jarrett decides to part ways with Jim Cornette, the Lethal Weapon Steve Blackman takes on The Rock, and the Legion of Doom has yet another nail hammered into their coffin.  Wait a second, did the Headbangers just win the NWA Tag Team Championship? How PASSÉ!

    WWE Raw: February 16, 1998

    Everyone loves it when “Bad Street U.S.A.” becomes a “Highway to Hell!” In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys take a look at the fallout from No Way Out of Texas. Ken Shamrock, Steve Blackman, and Jeff Jarrett all look good in their matches, Chyna finally gets her own video package, and Steve Austin delivers a masterclass in wrestling promos. Things go a little off the rails when the Jackyl drives viewers to Nitro, and the New Age Outlaws ride their dumpster gimmick into the future!

    WWE: No Way Out of Texas

    WWE: No Way Out of Texas

    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?

    WWE Raw: February 9, 1998

    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!

    WWE Raw: February 2, 1998

    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!
