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

This week on the show we looked at the 4/19/99 episode of Monday Night Raw. The Rock was planning a funeral for Stone Cold Steve Austin after tossing him (and his title belt?) off a Detroit bridge.

From there we had a bunch of figure news tidbits from all over the place before jumping into The Stu where we spent the bulk of that segment recapping ACW Wisconsin’s Water City Wrestling Con.

We also hit on ROH Supercard of Honor, some GCW and more. Enjoy!

On this week’s giant sized episode we take a look at a pretty good Retro Raw (that included possibly the best “Sign of the Times” we have come across yet, but the bulk of the show is spent recounting the weekend in San Francisco. Sadly, due to Covid, Adam was forced to miss the trip. Mat pressed on solo but met up with some new and old friends and still had a memorable experience. The travel, West Coast Pro, WWW live, and AEW Revolution is all covered, and I hope you enjoy the chat. Cheers!

2023/02/23

This week on the show we take a look at a very entertaining Retro Raw as we rundown the 2/22/99 episode that featured the first ever Inferno Match on television.

#149- A Royally Good Rumble

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/02/02

While the WWE Royal Rumble (and that amazing finish to the main event) takes up a fair deal of time, we still managed to get in all of the segments thin week on the show. The Retro Raw was a bit unique as Mr. McMahon wasn’t in the arena, but rather on location in Victoria, TX trying to coax Stone Cold Steve Austin into breaking his contract. That was on the heels of the empty arena match on Halftime Heat with a short turnaround to St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. We got a decent amount of figure news

2023/01/12

This week on the show, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Monday Night Raw the only way we know how: Selling out to the Saudi's! Just kidding, but really, there are all sort of things moving and shaking as far as the WWE goes. We are going to take a wait and see approach, but I get it, as wrestling fans half of what we do is speculate and fantasy book. We also ran down the recent GCW offering from this past weekend in Chicago as well as all sorts of other stuff. Enjoy!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2023/01/05

This week on the show we sat down to discuss a very pivotal moment in the Monday Night Wars. Jan. 4th 1999 was both the day that Hulk Hogan def. Kevin Nash with the "finger poke of doom" and Mankind def. The Rock for the WWF championship. Both were mired in controversy, but one stood the test of time way better than the other. We also ran down the Wrestle Kingdom 17 show that we got together just hours before recording to watch live. What a show! It had it all from nostalgia, to debuts, to a couple

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/12/29

This week on the show we get into the latest Holiday Bash offering from AEW. Shida vs. Hayter was a banger, so if you haven't already seen it, you should seek it out. We also checked in on the Retro Raw as they are starting to build to the 1999 Royal Rumble. Vince McMahon consumes so many raw eggs in a training montage. Other than that, it was a bit of a slow week on the wrestling front, and it happens from time to time. We will be back next week with some Wrestle Kingdom thoughts and a look back at
