PODCAST

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

#111- WrestleMania Backlash Backlash

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/05/12

This week on the show we begin to brace ourselves for what is a jam-packed slate of live professional wrestling on the horizon! We will get more into the itinerary next week, but this week we spend a good amount of time looking back at the Retro Raw from 5/11/98. The SCSA / Vince McMahon rivalry is beginning to heat up as the boss is stacking the deck against the rattlesnake. We also sat down together and really enjoyed WrestleMania Backlash! Just about every match delivered and it was a fun one

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/05/05

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

2022/04/27

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. It is quite memorable as it's the show where the DX Army try to invade WCW Nitro, that was being held a mere 15 minutes down the road from the arena. We also have a ton of Micro Brawlers added to the PC, and talk all about the current events that are happening around the wrestling landscape. Thanks to each and

In the Retro Raw Review, we are on our way to Unforgiven and the first ever Inferno Match. Mat has a pretty incredible haul of new arrivals including some very rare Micro Brawlers. Oh, and we now have a Pro Wrestling Tees store, so

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/04/07

We are back… and better than ever! (sing that like the Bischoff theme) After a brief hiatus, the two heads of the dork table are here with all of the pro wrestling goodness that we normally bring. The Retro Raw Review is giant this week, as we cover two episodes. A lot has changed. SCSA is the WWF Champion, and both he and The Rock have shiny new championship title belts to show off. Into the Dorkness includes some of the Mattel reveals and a lot of new things make their way into the collection. We

#104- R.I.P. Scott Hall

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/03/17

This week on the show we take a look back at the Monday Night Raw that occurred 12 days before WrestleMania 14. A challenger is possibly concussed and a new champion is crowned. After that, we have very little in the way of figure news, but Mat adds quite a few pieces to the collection. Then, although it is still very fresh, we chat about the untimely passing of Mat's favorite wrestler: Scott Hall. We spend a little time on it, but ultimately a tribute bonus podcast is in order.

#100- We Need To Talk About Cody

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/02/17

This week on the show we chat about all sorts of stuff. The Cody Rhodes situation takes center stage in the "Wrestling Stu". Is it all a work, or is he really gone from AEW? Part of the fun is that we don't know. And admit it, as much as we all like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes and predict what will happen next, we love to be genuinely surprised! We also talk about the beginning of Brutus Beefcake's "barber" persona, as well as run down a fairly lackluster Monday Night Raw as the

#99- A Double Dose of Dynamite, AEW Debuts & More!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/02/11

This week we ran into a bit of a scheduling issue and had to record late. On the plus side, that allowed us to chat about the most recent episode of AEW Dynamite, which if you haven’t seen it, you should ASAP. From the debuts to the Texas deathmatch main event, it was incredible. Mat runs down what happened at ACW Wisconsin’s show at Tanners over the weekend. On the Retro Raw side of things, we are heading towards the inaugural No Way Out PPV on the way to WrestleMania 14 and things are heating up

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2022/02/03

This week on the show we take a look at one of the more memorable moments in WWF Monday Night Raw history: The night that Cactus Jack and Terry Funk took a dumpster ride off the stage in Indianapolis. What a crazy episode! After that we go into a review of The Royal Rumble weekend in St. Louis. Not just the show, but the whole weekend as we were there for it. Sure, the men’s rumble wasn’t all it could be, but the rest of the card was pretty fun. Some “On This Day and figure related news round out
