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

5.5 hours of driving. 322 miles. 2 wrestling shows. 1 awesome day. That was Sunday boiled down to its most simple form. This week we spend the bulk of the show running down ACW Wisconsin at Tanners and GCW at La Pica Lounge. It was so fun! We also chat about the Retro Raw from 11/16/98. We have a new "corporate" champion: The Rock! That is who Stone Cold Steve Austin set his sights on in the main event. We also briefly talk about AEW as we are headed toward Full Gear. Enjoy!

#132- Enter Mr. Socko, Tony's Troubles in AEW & More!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/10/06

This week on the show we discuss the apparent turmoil that is going on behind the scenes at AEW. We don’t really know what is going on, but it doesn’t seem good. How will that affect the 3rd anniversary Dynamite? We’ll let you know next week. The history of pro wrestling that occurred on this day is also kind of a bummer. From there we look at another very memorable episode of Monday Night Raw where Austin kicked McMahons ass in a medical facility and Mr. Socko was born. To round out the show, we

#129- AEW Championship Roulette

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/09/15

This week on the show it is business back to normal as we come off the high that was All Out weekend. No live wrestling was consumed, but we still have plenty to talk about. The Retro Raw Review is a couple weeks away from the Breakdown PPV and many of the matches this week did just that, Breakdown. We had a nice trip down memory lane with the DMJ recommended match with some ECW. We also say goodbye to NXT 2.0 on the one-year anniversary of its inception. All this and more. Enjoy!

After the history, Retro Raw Review, and news (that includes some awesome figure reveals from AEW Fan Fest), we get down to business. We go day by day and give the run down on what went down. Rampage Suite, check. 4 Cups Stuffed, check. Running into the AEW champion at Target hours before the big match at All Out, check! There is a lot to go through, and it is a

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/09/01

The anticipation is palpable this week as the Dorkside train keeps chugging down the tracks to a huge wrestling weekend in Chicago! But before we get there, we have a lot to discuss. The Retro Raw Review focuses on the fallout from SummerSlam ’98 at MSG. Kane & The Undertaker are running roughshod over the entire locker room and Vince McMahon has a plan in place that will end SCSA’s championship reign. From there, we talk a bit of figure news before running down the latest offerings from AEW

This week on the show we discussed a couple of big-time returns! Kenny Omega came back on Wednesday to join the Young Bucks in their quest to be the inaugural AEW Trio’s champs. On Monday we saw Johnny Wrestling return to the WWE! It is an awesome time to be a pro wrestling fan. We also dissected a very good Raw as we are days away from SummerSlam ’98 in the Retro Raw Review (impromptu Hell in a Cell match, anyone?!) To round things out, we chatted about all of the recent happenings across the

This week on the show we kick thing off with a dose of “On This Day” that is heavy on the G1 and SummerSlam stuff. From there the WWF is on the Highway to Hell in the Retro Raw Review. Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker are heading for a showdown, and we are here for it. We also got to see both semi-finals matches for the Brawl for All. Into the Dorkness is heavy with Micro Brawler news, and after that we toss a bunch of ingredients in the Wrestling Stu. Dynamite, Rampage, GCW Homecoming and

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/08/11

This week on the show we sit down to chat about the three offerings from AEW this week (I had no idea that Battle of the Belts was happening until after it happened). Adam keeps us up to speed on Raw, and we go over a great match from ECW's Guilty as Charged 1999 show as Super Crazy did battle with a young Tajiri. The Retro Raw Review was pretty cringeworthy this week as the WWF welcomed John Wayne Bobbitt to have a segment with Val Venus, Chyna mooned the crowd and the Brawl for All's quarterfinals

#123- Thoughts on SummerSlam, Flair's Last Match & More!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/08/04

On the show this week we talk all about the two biggest shows of the last week: WWE’s SummerSlam and Ric Flairs Last Match. We watched them both and for the most part enjoyed both offerings. The Retro Raw Review got into the 2nd round of the Brawl for All, as well as a tag match that featured the top 3 stars in the company. We had a very stylish “Into the Dorkness” as Mat added two RSVLT shirts to the wardrobe as well as some Ric Flair Micro Brawlers. Other than that, we discuss anything that popped

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/07/28

This week on the show we talk about all sort of stuff, but at the top of the card has to be the fact that Vince McMahon has retired from the WWE. What a crazy sentence to write. The next few months will be very interesting as far as the pro wrestling landscape goes. The Retro Raw was fun and introduced a new Undertaker theme and the SCSA Smoking Skull belt. We also run down some highlights from the Mattel SDCC Comic Con reveals, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/07/21

This week on the show, Adam is back Bay Bay! In the Retro Raw Review, we take a look at the go home show to the first Fully Loaded show (it’s also the show where HHH gets a woman in the crowd to remove her top) We almost pass by Into the Dorkness completely, but Adam had a couple of the new ZST figures so we checked those out. Then we ran down a whole lot of topics in The Stu. Enjoy!
