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

#131- Stone Cold: Zamboni Driver

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/09/29

This week on the show we spend a good hunk of time talking about a very memorable Retro Raw and the Breakdown PPV that proceeded it. Some great nuggets of information were dug up as we go over what occurred on this day in pro wrestling history. After that, we continue looking at the "white rabbit" storyline in the WWE, discuss the big AEW shows at Arthur Ashe Stadium, and Mat found a chase figure at the local Target!

2022/09/22

This week on the show we chat about the ominous teasers that WWE has been dropping both during the breaks of their live shows and via a QR code that was in the background of Raw. We also discuss the latest offerings from AEW ahead of the big showdown at Arthur Ashe Stadium in NYC this week, where all of the titles will be on the line, including Chris Jericho possibly capturing the ROH World Championship. We also dissect the Monday Night Raw before the Breakdown PPV way back in 1998, as well as a ton

#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!

2022/09/08

We have a special treat for you listeners on the show this week as we run down an incredible weekend in the outskirts of the Windy City! 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

#127- All Set For All Out

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

#126- The Return of Omega & Gargano

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/08/25

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

#125- Punk Returns, Cardona Nuptials & More!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/08/18

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

#124- Three AEW Shows, ACW All Star Rumble & More!

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

#122- Vince Retires, SDCC Reveals & More!

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!

#121- Flair's Final Match Preview, ACW: Wisconsin...

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!

#120- Another Singles Match For Matty

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/07/14

This week on the show Mat is once again solo as Adam is under the weather. No worries, though, he will be back next week and we will keep on keepin’ on! The Retro Raw Review this week revolves around whether or not The Undertaker is in cahoots with Kane. We got info on the Mattel SDCC exclusive figure (or figures, in this case!) and in The Wrestling Stu, I went over a bunch of stuff including Dynamite, Rampage, the Vince McMahon scandal, Kevin Nash’s podcast and more. Enjoy!

#118- Busting Through the Forbidden Door!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/06/30

Hey Gang! This week on the show is another solo run, so please bear with me. “On This Day” has a couple memorable moments that include a destroyed championship title belt and a double murder! The Retro Raw Review is a pretty classic episode as we see a debut, a return, and the start of the “Brawl for All” and the total debacle that was. Kane also defended the WWF Championship only 24 hours after winning it (in unceremonious fashion) at KOTR. From there I did my best to recollect all of the pro

#117- What a Wrestling Weekend Ahead!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/06/22

This week on the show Matty is solo as Adam is on hiatus. It's all good in the hood, though, because the show is dropping early and Adam will be back to watch a ton of live pro wrestling this weekend! The Retro Raw Review this week was very memorable and the visual heading into KOTR was a sight you have to see. Into the Dorkness was collapsed this week and in The Wrestling Stu, Mat runs down the itinerary for the week, which if you count JWA last Saturday, includes 6 shows in 8 days! Dynamite, ACW:

2022/06/16

This week on the show we have a good old time chatting about all thing professional wrestling. In the Retro Raw Review, we are just two weeks away from KOTR 1998 and the Hell in a Cell match that would change the course of history (and the lives of Mick Foley & The Undertaker). Not too much in the way of figure news, so Into the Dorkness is a bit condensed. The Stu is full of all sorts of goodness including a run down of the recent Dominion show from NJPW and there’s a lot to talk about as we

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/06/09

Hey guys and gals, we hope you enjoy a slightly abbreviated version of the show this week. We got all the segments in, just spent a little less time yapping due to some scheduling conflicts. The bulk of the conversation revolves around just how many stars are currently out of commission. This was spurred on by the Punk and Cody news, but there are plenty more. Here's hoping that things start to sort themselves out as we are heading toward a milestone PPV in Chicago at Forbidden Door. Enjoy!

This week on the show we chat about the go home WWF Raw to the first Over the Edge PPV. After that we take some time to digest all of the bobblehead offerings heading our way from Forever Collectibles and run down a decent list of new arrivals to our personal collections. Then to finish up, we detail our experience as a vendor/sponsor of ACW: Wisconsin’s Water City WrestlingCon. It was a fantastic experience and I hope you enjoy the rundown! We also find a way to talk about some other current stuff
