WWE Survivor Series: The Origin Story
With the WWE Survivor Series happening this weekend, we examine the history of the show itself — from the TRN archives! This is a selection from a podcast we recorded back in November 2016, a real deep dive on what led to WWE creating the event in 1987 (their second-ever yearly PPV, only behind WrestleMania). The rivalry between Jim Crockett Promotions and the WWF is examined in depth. If you enjoy this selection on the origins of the Survivor Series, check out the full podcast (Episode 13) from November 2016 as Ryan and Kyle go on to review the 1987, 1988, and 1989 Survivor Series shows in full.

Steve Austin's Best Matches (Fantasy Draft Style)
Ryan, Justin, Jesse, and special guest Zack Heydorn count down the best matches in the career of Steve Austin. It's all eligible: Hollywood Blonds, Stunning Steve, and Stone Cold. Sorry, no Ringmaster matches were chosen (spoiler alert!)
This draft is done fantasy auction style, with each host starting with $100 and bidding taking place. This turned out to be a really fun night, one of our favorite shows ever. Hope you enjoy!

Customer Reviews
Great podcast, especially the retro wrestling episodes
Let me first say, I don’t watch much current wrestling. But I LOVE anything from the 80’s and 90’s. These guys do a great job recalling and discussing retro wrestling cards. I love the fantasy drafts as well as the “best of” specific PPV’s in the past. If you love pro wrestling, give it a listen!
A Triumph!
FINALLY… A wrestling podcast with a host that won’t defraud a WWE legend and charities alike. FIVE STARS.
Not for entertainment purposes only.
My new favorite pro wrestling podcast feed. Real analysis by knowledgeable fans served with a side of grizzled veteran hutzpah. This crew delivers the goods each and every show. If Top Rope Nation is not in your pod rotation, you’re doing yourself dirty. Cheers, gentlemen!
