    Episode 52 — “Road to WrestleMania… Or Road to Meh?”

    Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue are officially in that strange stretch of the calendar: WrestleMania season is here… but the excitement isn’t quite matching the moment. This week, the Wroundtable asks some uncomfortable questions — not angrily, just honestly. • The Injury Cloud: What’s Going On?From Bron Breakker to Chelsea Green, injuries are stacking up at the worst possible time.Ryan and Dom break down whether this is bad luck, overexposure, rushed booking, or something deeper — and how these setbacks could reshape the WrestleMania landscape. • AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch — Why Is This Even Debated?The feud works. The promo segment delivered. The star power is undeniable.Yet parts of the IWC aren’t feeling it — and Ryan and Dom genuinely don’t understand why. The crew explains why this rivalry matters and why sometimes fans overcomplicate something that’s simply compelling television. • Michael Hayes and the Chelsea Green CommentsCalling Chelsea “not championship material”?Ryan and Dom push back on that take, explaining why it feels outdated and dismissive — especially considering how much Chelsea has grown as a performer and character. • Jade Cargill: A Champion Without DefensesOver 100 days without defending the title.What are we waiting for? Is this a long-term play or stalled momentum? The Wroundtable questions why someone positioned as a powerhouse champion feels oddly absent from meaningful action. • Is WWE Under TKO Playing It Too Safe?Since the TKO era began, WWE feels more polished, more corporate… and maybe a little less daring.Ryan and Dom ask whether the push for stability and shareholder confidence has quietly replaced bold storytelling. Are risks being avoided in favor of predictability? Are we getting safe WrestleMania builds instead of electric ones? When everything feels “managed,” does it also start to feel smaller? The Wroundtable isn’t calling it broken — but they are asking whether WWE is prioritizing business optics over creative swings at the biggest time of the year.

    Episode 51: “The Rumble Fallout and We’re Not Mad, Just Disappointed”

    Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue break down the Royal Rumble aftermath, dig into some big booking decisions, and address the current state of wrestling discourse — not with anger, but with deep, exhausted disappointment. • Women’s Royal Rumble: Liv Morgan Won… Now What?The win made sense. The moment landed.But the follow-up is everything. Ryan and Dom talk about what WWE needs to do now to keep the momentum alive — because Rumble victories don’t age well if they’re left unattended. • Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez: Great Match, Questionable OutcomeThe match was excellent. No debate there.But the result raised eyebrows. The Wroundtable discusses why Stephanie going over feels premature, and whether this is long-term vision or short-term confusion. • AJ Styles vs. Gunther: Where Do We Go From Here?After a physical, high-stakes match, the focus shifts to what’s next.What’s the path forward for The Phenomenal One? And how does The Ring General evolve without losing his aura? • The Men’s Royal Rumble: Opinions Were FormedSome moments hit hard. Others… didn’t.Ryan and Dom give a measured reaction — not hot takes, not overreactions, just honest analysis. • Roman Reigns & CM Punk: Professional Wrestling, ActuallyThat promo was money. Two masters, no filler.The Wroundtable explains why it worked and why it reminded everyone what elite storytelling sounds like. • The IWC and New Talent: Take a BreathNot every new star needs to be crowned or condemned in real time.Ryan and Dom speak directly to the IWC — especially around the presentation of new talent like Oba Femi — and ask for something radical: patience. Let people grow. Let stories develop. Sometimes the best take is waiting.

    Episode 50 — “The Demon, The Rumble, and Dom’s Ongoing Crisis”

    Ryan Hall, Dominique LaRue, and Brandi Scott celebrate Episode 50 the only way that feels right: with wild speculation, Royal Rumble predictions, and Dom once again reaching his emotional limit over Judgment Day. • Finn Bálor: Demon Watch 2026Something feels off. In a good way.Finn’s presentation is shifting, the vibes are darker, and the questions are loud. Is the Demon finally clawing his way back out… or is this a different evolution altogether? The crew reads the tea leaves and tries not to get their hopes up. • What’s Next for AJ Styles?AJ’s future feels uncertain, and WWE doesn’t love uncertainty unless it’s intentional. Ryan, Dom, and Brandi discuss what the next chapter could look like — and whether we’re watching the beginning of an ending, or just another reinvention. • Royal Rumble Picks (Receipts Will Be Kept)It’s prediction season.Winners, dark horses, surprise returns, and at least one take that will age terribly by Saturday night. No backing out. No deleting tweets. • Judgment Day: The Faction That Will Not DieOnce again, Judgment Day sends Dom into a full crash-out.Why are they still here? What do they even stand for now? And how has this faction survived longer than some actual marriages? All that and more on Episode 50 of Wrasslin’ Wroundtable — a milestone episode powered entirely by caffeine, frustration, and wrestling optimism that refuses to die. 👉 Subscribe on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify👉 Follow us on Facebook — once we hit 100 followers, we’re giving away a T-shirt signed by the Hardcore Icon himself.

    Episode 49 — “Judgment Day Is Still Here and Dom Is Not Okay”

    Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue are gearing up for the Royal Rumble — but let’s be honest… this episode mostly turns into Dom absolutely losing his mind about Judgment Day. Repeatedly. With passion. And logic. Show Notes • Finn Bálor: The Prince Is Back?Finn didn’t walk away with the title against CM Punk — but he did walk out looking like the Finn of old. Classic music. Classic presentation. Actual aura.Ryan and Dom break down whether this signals Finn finally breaking free from Judgment Day and reclaiming his rightful spot as a main event player. • Judgment Day: What Is the Actual Point Anymore?Dom’s meltdown was fully warranted.Has Judgment Day really been around since 2022?! And if so… what are they even doing anymore? The Wroundtable dives into why the faction feels creatively exhausted, directionless, and overdue for either a massive shakeup or a merciful ending. • Can Randy Orton Secure a Title Shot at SNME?The Viper is lurking.Ryan and Dom debate whether Randy is positioned for one more major title run and what a championship program at this stage of his career would mean. • Royal Rumble Stakes: AJ Styles vs. Gunther — Career on the LineAJ’s career hangs in the balance against one of the most dominant forces in wrestling.Is this truly the end of the line for The Phenomenal One, or does WWE have one last chapter left to write? • And Yes… Dom Is Still Losing His Mind About Judgment DayBecause some things simply cannot be processed calmly. 👉 Subscribe on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify👉 Follow us on Facebook — once we hit 100 followers, we’re giving away a T-shirt signed by the Hardcore Icon himself.

    🎙️ Episode 48 — “New Champions, Old Grudges, and Lines That Don’t Need Crossing”

    Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue are back to break down a week of wrestling that raised titles, escalated grudges, and crossed a few lines that didn’t need crossing.Show Notes • Drew McIntyre: Universal Champion… But On Borrowed Time?Drew McIntyre is back on top, but the reign already feels like it came with an asterisk.Ryan and Dom debate whether this is a true vote of confidence or a strategically timed reign meant to set up someone else. Is Drew the destination — or just the obstacle? And if this is short-term, does it undercut what should be a dominant champion moment? • Jacob Fatu: Payback or Power Move?Jacob Fatu’s interference wasn’t subtle — and it definitely wasn’t random.Is this about settling a score with Drew, or is Fatu operating on a completely different tier, using chaos as a message? The Wroundtable unpacks motive, escalation, and what this could mean for the main event picture. • Darby Allin — And AEW’s Risk ProblemThis isn’t just about Darby.That suplex onto the ring steps was brutal, unnecessary, and emblematic of a larger issue in AEW — where extreme risks regularly happen on standard TV with little payoff beyond shock value. Ryan and Dom ask why these moments keep happening, who benefits from them, and whether AEW needs clearer guardrails before someone pays a permanent price.

    🎙️ Episode 47 — “New Year, New Champs, Same Questions”

    Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue kick off 2026 the only way they know how: strong opinions, raised eyebrows, and zero patience for nonsense. • Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky: The New Women’s Tag Team PowerhouseThis isn’t a temporary alliance or a throwaway pairing.Rhea and Iyo feel like a deliberate, dangerous move — two elite performers reshaping the tag division in real time. Ryan and Dom break down why this team works, why it matters, and how it could raise the ceiling for the entire women’s roster. • Becky Lynch as Women’s IC Champion… Why, Though?No disrespect to Becky — but the booking raises real questions.Does this elevate the title, or does it block momentum for the division’s next wave? The Wroundtable debates what WWE is trying to accomplish and who could benefit more from that spotlight. • Bron Breakker: Can He Get His Heat Back?After losing his title shot against CM Punk, Bron’s aura took a hit.Ryan and Dom discuss whether this is a temporary detour or a dangerous stall, and what WWE needs to do now to keep Breakker feeling like the future. • The Royal Rumble Is Somehow Weeks AwayTime is fake, the calendar is lying, and suddenly it’s almost Rumble season. The crew looks at who needs momentum fast, what stories need sharpening, and whether WWE is actually ready for one of its biggest events of the year. Plus more tangents, theories, and “it’s only January and we’re already stressed” energy. 👉 Subscribe on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify👉 Follow us on Facebook — once we hit 100 followers, we’re giving away a T-shirt signed by the Hardcore Icon himself.

    Episode 46 — “Feuds, Fallen Idols, and the Year-End Wroundtable Awards”

    Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue are back to stir the pot, connect the dots, and question at least three creative decisions — all while handing out their highly scientific (not at all scientific) year-end awards. Show Notes ​ Cody Rhodes vs. Nick Aldis: Is This Really Over?That promo on SmackDown got heated. Ryan and Dom break down what’s next between the Undisputed Champ and the SmackDown GM. Do they rekindle the rivalry? Does Aldis lace up the boots again? And is WWE brave enough to actually pull the trigger? ​ Austin Theory: Lone Wolf… or Following a Certain “Monday Night Messiah”?Theory is out here moving like a man with a plan — but whose plan is it? The Wroundtable wonders: is he operating solo, or is a familiar, architect-like shadow looming over his future? ⸻ 🏆 Year-End Awards Discussion ​ Male Superstar of the YearRyan’s pick may raise eyebrows. And possibly blood pressure. Consider yourself warned. ​ Female Superstar of the YearFor once, Ryan and Dom actually agree — and this choice came with dominance, attitude, and a whole lot of “proceed with caution” energy. ​ Moment of the YearA mixed bag of shock, chaos, and “did that really just happen?” vibes. ​ Least Favorite MomentEasy. No debate. Travis Scott at WrestleMania 41 Night 2 — a truly historic L. ​ Match of the YearThe bout that delivered everything: story, heart, brutality, payoff — the one they’ll still be rewatching next year. Plus: jokes, rants, theories, and at least one “don’t yell at us on Facebook” disclaimer. ⸻ 📲 Follow & Support 👉 Subscribe on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify 👉 Follow us on Facebook — once we hit 100 followers, we’re giving away a T-shirt signed by the Hardcore Icon himself.

    Episode 45 — “Cena Deserved Better”

    Ryan Hall and Dominique LaRue return with reactions, theories, and more than a little disbelief as WWE delivers answers… and somehow creates even more questions. Show Notes • Austin Theory Unmasked: So Now What? The mystery masked man is revealed as Austin Theory — but that only raises bigger questions. What’s next for him? Who is he really working for? And does this finally give Theory a defined direction, or is this just another reset? • What Is The Vision, Really? Is it a faction? A concept? A vibe? A corporate buzzword? Ryan and Dom try to decode what WWE wants The Vision to be — and whether it has real long-term potential or is already spinning its wheels. • Seth Rollins on the Shelf: What Should He Do Next? With Seth sidelined until he’s cleared to wrestle again, the Wroundtable discusses how WWE can (and should) keep him relevant — from promos to manipulation to quietly pulling strings behind the scenes. • John Cena’s “Final Match”: A Massive Letdown No sugarcoating this one. Ryan and Dom break down why Cena’s so-called final match felt rushed, underwhelming, and completely unworthy of one of the greatest careers in wrestling history. John Cena deserved more than a Saturday Night’s Main Event sendoff — and the frustration is real. • And So Much More Because somehow, there’s always more. ⸻ 🔮 Next Week: 2025 Year in Review We’re handing out awards for: • Male Superstar of the Year • Female Superstar of the Year • Moment of the Year • Match of the Year • Least Favorite Moment of the Year Spoiler alert: both Ryan and Dom are very likely to include Travis Scott in their least favorite moment.
