Dorkside of the Ring

The show where your nerdy obsession with Professional Wrestling is not only tolerated... it is celebrated! Every week Mat and Adam take a brief look at the history of Pro Wrestling of the day. From there we take a few minutes to review a retro WWE Raw or Smackdown from this week 24 years ago and then finish with The Wrestling Stu. Think of it as a catch all to cover what is going on all across the landscape of the sport from the previous week, or just random life events that need to be shared with

#180- We Went All Out In Chicago!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/09/07

This week on the show we tweaked the format a bit. The Retro Raw Review is a bit abbreviated and we skipped Into the Dorkness entirely to give you all a play by play account of the shows we saw since we last sat down. We were in attendance for Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, All Out, and GCW: Say You Will. We also caught WWE Payback on the laptop in the hotel. We have thoughts on all of it, as well as our pal Dylan Postl's comedy show and much more! Thank you all for your continued support. It

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/08/30

This weeks show comes to you a little early as AEW has taken over the Chicagoland area, and being that we are not far from the scene, we are not recording on our regularly scheduled night, but rather on Tuesday! We take a look back at a week that was a real mixed bag of emotions. We lost Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt since we last sat down, but we also saw a tremendous show from Wembley Stadium as All In: London absolutely delivered both in the ring and backstage. They never miss an opportunity to keep

This week on the show, we take a look at Summer Slam '99 and the following night's Raw. We saw some hot potato action with the WWF Championship as three men held the title in a 24-hour period! We also saw a debut on the show as Lilian Garcia was the ring announcer. From there, we chat about some new stuff heading our way from various toy companies, and get into all things AEW in the Stu. We also took in an afternoon of live action from the scorching parking lot of an Elks Lodge as ICW

#176- The Dish On Detroit

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/08/10

This week on the show we have a first hand run down of the huge wrestling weekend in Detroit, where the WWE presented SummerSlam! The Retro Raw saw one of the most iconic debuts in the company's history as the "countdown to the millennium" clock reached zero. A decent amount of figure news (especially for you retro collectors) and The Wrestling Stu round out the show. We really had a great time seeing some friendly faces in Detroit, and we look forward to seeing some more in Chicago on

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/08/03

This week on the show we are gearing up for a weekend in Detroit Rock City! Before we get there, however, it's business as usual for the time being. The Retro Raw Review is building to HHH vs. Stone Cold at SummerSlam in Minneapolis and was very fun with a title change. We have a little lull in the figure reveals after the recent SDCC, but there are a few good things to report! The Stu is centered around continuing the G1 Climax 33 tournament as well as AEW Dynamite and Collision. Enjoy!

From there the Retro Raw covers a main event that involved SCSA & The Undertaker as they are set to meet at Judgement Day. Into the Dorkness is surprisingly full of news and new arrivals.

#171- Here Comes The Money (In The Bank)

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/07/06

Back to our regularly scheduled programing this week! Big thanks to Casey Corbin for chatting last week. We take a look at the recent Money in the Bank show that the WWE presented from London. It was very good. We also touch on all of the AEW offerings. I can't believe they have three weekly shows now. Slim pickings in the figure news department, but that should heat up soon as SDCC is at the end of the month. We are officially on the road to SummerSlam in Detroit and we can't wait to

Like in the past, we chat Casey up about other things as well and it was a lot of fun. We also run some other stuff that happened on this historical day including the 1998 HIAC match between Mankind & Undertaker and the most watched wrestling match of all time! What match is that? You will have to listen to

#169- AEW Collision Debut: First Hand Recap

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/06/22

Buckle up, folks as we have a bit of a long show this week, but I promise it is worth the listen. We get side tracked from time to time, but that's what makes the show fun, right? The Retro Raw was the go home show to KOTR '99 and there are some stipulations at stake in this one and it's a fun watch. We have a real mixed bag as we go "Into the Dorkness" with all sorts of figure news and a 1 of 1 card that has made its way into Matty's collection! From there we run down all

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/06/15

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/06/08

GCW Cage of Survival, Dynamite, and a really solid Rampage are all on the table. We hope you enjoy and we will be back with another show next week like we always do

#166- A Bountiful Weekend From the Wrestling Gods!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/06/01

This week on the show we do our best to recap a very busy weekend in the world of professional wrestling. All three major brands presented a big show with Double or Nothing, Night of Champions & Battleground. I think they all delivered and I'd love to hear what you all thought about them. As we step back in time for the Retro Raw Review, we are headed toward KOTR '99, but first we have a "Greater Power" that must be revealed. Will we see it this week? Listen to find out! Thank

#165- Raw is Owen: 24 Years Later

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/05/25

This week on the show we toe the line between comedy &tragedy. A very somber Retro Raw in which we celebrate the life of Owen Hart 24 years after his untimely passing takes up the bulk of the show with good reason. We cover the matches a bit, but most of the time is spent listening to clips of the guys that worked with and loved Owen. From there we have a bit of figure news, but nothing substantial before chatting about RAW, AEW, WWE Hidden Treasures and all sorts of other goodness in the Stu

#164- Are We Cancelled?

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/05/18

This week on the show we are definitely in rare form. It was a fun one, albeit a bit morbid, but laughter is a great way to deal with heavy shit. We hit on all of the normal segments as the Retro Raw keeps trucking toward Over the Edge, which was the scene of Owen Harts untimely passing. We will cover that as well as the Raw after next week. We also talked about the big heel turn on Dynamite, a lucha deathmatch and a whole lot more! Cheers!

HBK throws some obstacles in the path of Shane McMahon. We also watched Backlash and really enjoyed it! We hope you enjoy the show, and if you do, please do us a solid and tell a friend!
