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

#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

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:

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

#115- The Injury Bug Is Biting!

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 so many topics! In “On This Day” we talk about a very real (but kayfabed) injury to Andre the Giant and the first UK only WWE PPV. The Retro Raw was a doozy this week, headlined by some footage that was “accidentally” recorded between Jerry Lawler and Paul Bearer. Lots of new things added to the collection at the end of “Into the Dorkness” including a 1/100 chase Sting Micro Brawler! We spend the remainder talking about Jacob Fatu vs. Bandito, NJPW Dontaku and a

On the show this week we check out the inaugural WWF Unforgiven show, complete with the first ever Inferno (and evening gown) Match as well as dissect the Monday Night Raw that followed it.
