    Episode 11 - Dirty Dom and the Alimony Match

    🎧 Episode 11 – Dirty Dom, Crown Jewel Chaos & WrestleMania Conspiracies Crown Jewel delivered, WrestleMania started teasing, and somehow Damian Priest’s “burn” disappeared faster than Roman Reigns’ momentum. In this week’s episode, the crew tears through WWE Crown Jewel (Perth) — from Bronson Reed officially taking the tribal torch to John Cena vs. AJ Styles closing one of the most emotional rivalries of the modern era. Jordan calls out the booking that robbed Tiffany Stratton, while the team debates how Seth Rollins’ injury reshapes the future of The Vision. Then things get wild: • WrestleMania 2026 trailer decoded — hidden chess pieces, mysterious shoes, and hints that LA Knight is next in line. • Botch of the Week: Damian Priest’s vanishing burn makeup. • Dirty Dom Watch: Liv, Roxanne, Raquel …and maybe Rhea? WWE’s most chaotic love triangle just added new corners. • Maxine Dupri’s possible heel turn and a Chad Gable redemption arc? Maybe. • The Vision’s collapse, Gunther’s next faction, and whether El Grande Ludwig Kaiser is secretly the best gimmick in wrestling right now. By the end, Drew McIntyre’s furious, Cody Rhodes looks guilty, and somehow the whole roster’s on our conspiracy board. It’s sarcasm, chaos, and creative blasphemy — just another week behind The Hard Camera. 🎙️ Listen now and tell us who your “Botch of the Week” was! #TheHardCamera #WWEPodcast #WrestlingPodcast #CrownJewel #WrestleMania #DirtyDom #JudgmentDay #BotchOfTheWeek #WWE #ProWrestling #WrestlingCommunity #HardCameraPod

    Episode 9 - The Night the Nuggies Died

In this episode of The Hard Camera Podcast we cover: Brock Lesnar’s pants-splitting return Sami Zayn vs. Rey Fenix and the botched finish that stole the match Bayley’s chaotic Hugger 2.0 comeback Penta destroying New Day with a springboard Destroyer Dragon Lee vs. El Grande Americano and the rise of the Three Grandes Judgment Day’s cracks showing as Finn goes full heel John Cena’s hypocrisy, AJ Lee’s flop, Tiffany Stratton’s aura, and Nia Jax’s weekly disaster 🔥 Segments include: Heel of the Week, Promo of the Week, Pop & Flop, Underrated & Overrated, and we wrap up with The Booking Couch — our unfiltered takes on what worked, what sucked, and what WWE should be doing. 🎙️ Sarcasm, grit, and brutally honest wrestling commentary every single week.

    Episode 8 - Built Like An Orca

    🎙 The Hard Camera Podcast – Episode 8: Built Like an Orca 🐋 This week on The Hard Camera, we cover one of the wildest stretches of WWE TV in recent memory. From John Cena’s emotional farewell SmackDown match (and Sami Zayn hijacking it) to Brock Lesnar dropping F-5s on everyone in sight, to AJ Lee’s long-awaited return after ten years—the chaos didn’t stop. And neither did Becky Lynch, who showed up with a black eye, venom on the mic, and enough heat to melt Milwaukee. We dive into: Why Jey Uso’s shocking turn makes him our Heel of the Week How the Cena/Sami segment stole Promo of the Week The roof-blowing return of AJ Lee as our Pop of the Week Why Nikki Bella’s trainwreck with Asuka deserves Flop of the Week The ongoing problem of Sami Zayn being overrated in Cena’s retirement tour The quietly excellent work of Jimmy Uso as Underrated And our This Week in Botch pick: Lyra vs. Raquel, proving you can botch ten times and still get the crowd behind you All that plus a loaded Booking Couch where we break down what’s working, what’s broken, and what we’d book if WWE actually listened. 🔥 Episode Title: Built Like an Orca 👀 Watch on YouTube, stream here on Podbean, or catch us wherever you get your podcasts.

    Episode 7 - All YEET, No SKEET

    🎙️ The Hard Camera Podcast – Episode 7: "All YEET, No SKEET" 🎙️ This week, WWE went international and gave us everything from stretcher jobs to shillelaghs, and yes—another Dragon Lee botch. We break it all down with our usual mix of sarcasm, grit, and blunt honesty. What’s Inside: SmackDown (Lyon, France): Logan Paul proves he’s fluent in French… right after trashing France in English. Cena destroys him on the mic (again), Drew and Randy beat each other and every security guard in the country, and somehow Sami Zayn is U.S. Champ. Clash in Paris: Roman vs Bronson Reed delivers, but Bron and Bronson leave Roman stretchered. Becky Lynch goes full villain, costing Punk in the 4-way and humping the belt over his body. Cena turns Paris into a singalong. Rusev vs Sheamus feels like a pub fight in a Tarantino flick. RAW Fallout (Paris): Jey Uso enters with security, LA Knight reminds us Seth lives in Becky’s shadow, the Kabuki Warriors shine, Dominik Mysterio turns the Paris crowd in his favor against AJ Styles, and Becky cuts the promo of the year—maybe of her career—on CM Punk. Segments This Week: Heel of the Week: Becky Lynch This Week in Botch: Dragon Lee (shocker) Promo of the Week: Becky verbally eviscerates Punk Pop or Flop: Kianna James’ disastrous debut (flop) & Logan’s Five-Knuckle Shuffle fail (hon. mention) Overrated: Nikki Bella still trying to rewrite history Underrated: Donnybrook matches... in general. The Booking Couch: Where does Roman go from here, will AJ Lee finally return, and are the Usos about to reunite? 💥 Listen now for the most unfiltered take in wrestling podcasts. #WWE #SmackDown #RAW #ClashInParis #WrestlingPodcast

    Episode 6 - Becky Burns the UK

    🎙️ Episode 6: Becky Burns the UK The Hard Camera is back, and this week Becky Lynch went home to Ireland and England just to roast her own people. From calling out Nikki Bella to declaring America more deserving of her, Becky put on the strongest heel performance we’ve seen in years—and walked away with our Heel of the Week. Meanwhile on SmackDown and RAW… John Cena cut Logan Paul in half on the mic and flipped over his Prime cart for good measure. Roman Reigns reminded us that this whole Bronson Reed feud started with stolen shoes—and somehow it’s the most compelling story in WWE. Dragon Lee kept his streak of spectacular botches alive, while JD McDonough made him look like a star anyway. Jey Uso shocked the world by superkicking CM Punk in a moment that instantly belongs on the all-time swerve list. And Miz? Still stealing Carmelo Hayes’ spotlight like it’s a gimmick of its own. 👠 Heel of the Week: Becky Lynch 🤦 This Week in Botch: Dragon Lee’s corkscrew flop ⚖️ Overrated: Nikki Bella’s “pioneer” act ⚖️ Underrated: JD McDonough’s ring psychology 🛋️ The Booking Couch: Women’s division dream matches + when WWE actually gets it right As always, we watched the chaos so you didn’t have to. 📺 Watch the video version on YouTube 🎧 Listen right here on Podbean, Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. #WWE #TheHardCamera #BeckyLynch #WrestlingPodcast

    Episode 5 - Botch Control

    🎙 The Hard Camera Podcast – Episode 5 Botch Control: Naomi’s Exit, Drew’s Truth, and Bronson’s Shoes This week on The Hard Camera, WWE gave us plenty to rant about. Naomi officially botched her entire Women’s Championship reign by getting pregnant, Drew McIntyre dropped truth bombs on Cody Rhodes’ golden boy treatment, and Bronson Reed turned Roman Reigns’ stolen shoes into the most over prop in pro wrestling. We break down everything from SmackDown and RAW, including: Sami Zayn’s “fresh start” on SmackDown that feels more like recycled leftovers. The Miz stealing Carmelo Hayes’ spotlight (and Heel of the Week honors). Dragon Lee’s corkscrew attempt that deserves its own Botchamania highlight reel. The Wyatt Sicks lurking around like horror movie extras. Rhea Ripley stuck in third wheel purgatory while Iyo Skye keeps stealing the show. Bayley teasing a split-personality heel turn that might actually get her career back on track. 🔥 Plus our weekly awards and segments: Heel of the Week, Botch of the Week, Promo of the Week, Recycled Segment, Pop or Flop, This Week in Botch, The Booking Couch, and Overrated/Underrated. If you’re tired of WWE’s endless DQs, recycled storylines, and championship reigns cut short, let us do the complaining for you — sarcasm guaranteed.

    Episode 3 - Pop the Crowd, Botch the Promo

    SummerSlam weekend had it all — huge crowd pops, shocking finishes, and one promo so bad it landed straight in our Botch of the Week. Naomi got the cheers… and then delivered a mic slip that might echo for the rest of the year. Cena handed off the belt to Cody just in time for Brock to F5 him into next week, Seth cashed in on Punk before anyone could blink, and somehow creative still found a way to make the Bloodline feel like déjà vu. In this episode we cover: Naomi’s promo meltdown Becky Lynch’s savage one-liner to Nikki Bella (Heel of the Week) Brock/Cena/Cody chaos Seth cashing in on Punk SummerSlam winners, losers, and "what were they thinking?" moments This Week in Botch, Overrated/Underrated, and The Booking Couch If you like wrestling talk that’s unfiltered, sarcastic, and not afraid to call out bad booking, you’re in the right place. 🎧 Follow The Hard Camera Podcast for weekly WWE breakdowns, hilarious hot takes, and the occasional “what did we just watch?” moment. #WWE #SummerSlam #TheHardCameraPodcast #WrestlingPodcast

    Episode 2 - Addicted to Plagiarism

    We kick things off by honoring the late, great Hulk Hogan—then immediately fire shots at WWE for rewriting history and snubbing Sting. CM Punk steals Eddie Guerrero’s “I’m addicted” promo, and we’re not letting that slide. Full match recaps from RAW and SmackDown, Paul Heyman’s masterful mind games with Jey Uso, and our weekly segments: Heel of the Week, Promo of the Week, Pop or Flop, This Week in Botch, and more. If WWE fumbles it, we’re calling it out.

    Episode 1 - Forgive Me Brother, For I've Popped Louder Than You

    We kick off Episode 1 by honoring Hulk Hogan’s legacy, then dive into the chaos of WWE’s current landscape—Seth’s “injury,” a flat Cody/Cena segment, a lose/lose Punk vs. Gunther setup, and the oddly named Heyman’s Hustle. We spotlight Lyra and Becky’s dominance, call out underused talent like Piper and Chelsea, and demand the Wyatt Sicks return to the shadows. The Hard Camera doesn’t miss.
