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

#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

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

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
