Shake Them Ropes is a pro wrestling podcast hosted by Jeff Hawkins and Chris Novembrino.

STR. Crown Jewel
We watched Crown Jewel so you get HOT TAKES for a change. Then the news and THE LAZY RIVER OF CRITICISM. We talk Ric Flair, we talk another intra-Elite angle and tie that into the discourse of AEW "losing its way"

Impact is now TNA again, Ric Flair is back onscreen again, and somehow Vince McMahon is Dana White's boss. Bad decisions abound as we talk all the news and the LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM including giving flowers to the NBeXT era, are they pivoting to "Laundry Wars" for Survivor Series instead of the smart story and so much more.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful
This is the only podcast I keep up with every week. The dynamic between Rob and Jeff is hilarious. Most wrestling podcasts have become overwhelming negative but STR has a good balance. I usually save it for a commute and it does not disappoint.
Edited in 2021: it’s ok. They have bad takes though. I kid.
hopelessly delusional
The jannetty of VOW
Dr. Nov to the rescue!
Jeff, thank you for the phenomenal upgrade in co-hosts! You two are the only reasons to waste a second on RAW.
