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

We have a great show lined up for you this week! All of the usual segments are represented.

Hey, gang! This week on the show you are in for a treat! As we travel down the road that is 1997 WWF, we have hit a major pothole that shook up not only the WWF, but the entire wrestling business. Most of us have seen and remember the incident that occurred at the 1997 Survivor Series, but what happened the following night on Raw is mostly forgotten. Well, someone who didn't forget was Canada's own Casey Corbin! This well know comic and all around awesome dude hops on with us to chat about that

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2021/11/04

This week on the show we are taking a look back at a very pivotal moment in the Monday Night Wars, and the WWF in general. The Retro Raw Review is the 11/3/97 episode that is the go home show to The Survivor Series in Montreal! Into the Dorkness is a real cornucopia as we chat about figures that were announced from so many different lines from Micro Brawlers to Elites. We hit on some sad news about a couple of guys that wont be performing in a ring for a bit, and finish with an AEW heavy Whatchu

#82- This Episode is Justin Credible!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2021/10/14

This week on the show we have a bit of a long one! That's because in the main event we have an interview with former ECW Heavyweight Champion, Justin Credible aka: PJ Polaco. We had a great conversation about his time in the WWF, his transition to ECW and more. We thought about collapsing a segment, but instead decided to make it an extra large helping of wrestling goodness. In the Retro Raw Review, DX is finally named, and we are a month out from the Survivor Series in Montreal. Whatchu Watchin?

2021/10/07

This week on the show, we take a look at all of the recent stuff, including Arn Anderson calling out Cody for being soft and a quick recap of the last five nights of the New Japan G1 Climax tournament. In the Retro Raw Review, we look at what might be the best episode we have covered so far (10/6/97 if you're playing along at home). HHH and HBK are in true sophomoric form, Melanie Pillman joins via satellite mere hours after her husband passed, and Jim Cornette spoke his mind about the state of the

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2021/09/30

This week on the show we chat about a Retro Raw that is really the bridge to a new era in the WWF. So many things change in the landscape in the next few days. A beloved man is lost too soon, and a character that was probably supposed to have a short run (that lasts over 20 years) will debut before next weeks segment. We also rundown nights 3,4,& 5 of the G1 tournament. If you haven't checked it out, you definitely should. It's fantastic! We also discuss everything else we have seen since we

2021/09/23

Hey gang! This week on the show we get things rolling with some "On This Day" before heading into the "Retro Raw Review" that featured one of the most pivotal shows as we truck on towards the Attitude Era. Austin stuns Vince, Cactus Jack shows up to confront HHH, and Bret Hart wrestles Goldust hours after being told that McMahon will not be honoring their 20 year contract. It's good stuff. After that we have a bit of news before going into "Whatchu Watchin?!" where we discuss the first two nights of

#78- The Fallout From All Out, Enter Attitude & More!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2021/09/15

This week on the show we discuss the fallout from All Out, which, I think has to be one of the best PPV’s in the last decade, if not all time. We run down some interesting stuff that occurred on this day in pro wrestling history, and review a Monday Night Raw that some say was the catalyst for the “Attitude” era. If you want to see Michael Hickenbottom in stuffed biker shorts, be sure to seek it out. We don’t have a ton of new to cover, so we quickly get into all of the glorious pro wrestling that

2021/09/09

This week on the show we hit on all of the normal segments, but there’s a little something special as our Retro Raw Review returns to it’s normal form, and we do our best to verbally document our amazing weekend in Chicago! Who watched more live wrestling this week than us? Probably nobody! The weekend was book-ended by the AEW shows (Rampage & All Out), but there was so many other great things to see as well. We made some new friends along the way, ate over-priced ice cream bars and enjoyed

We will get back to that next week, but the bulk of the show we talk about all of the pro wrestling we watched LIVE this week. We caught AEW Dark: Elevation, Dynamite AND Rampage this week from the UWM Panthers Arena in Milwaukee on Wednesday, then it was off to Waukesha, WI for ICW - Milwaukee's annual Insane 8

2021/08/25

This week on the show, we chat about the biggest return possibly in professional wrestling history! It was well rumored and all but confirmed, but that didn't make it any less special. What an incredible scene. Then, we are forced to take somewhat of a detour from the Retro Raw Review, thanks to some tennis, but we make do. After that is a little figure news and some new arrivals, followed by a healthy dose of "Whatchu Watchin?!" that included one of the best three days of wrestling in awhile

Hey gang! This week on the show we are dealing with a pro wrestling landscape that is changing by the day! The changes are both in the current day product as well as in the Retro Raw Review from 1997. What an exciting time to be a fan.

This week on the show it's a singles match as Mat is tackling the show solo style as Adam is on vacation. All the normal segments are covered, but it's a little strange without Adam's wit and insight. The Retro Raw Review is heading on a crash course to IYH: Ground Zero, and was a very pivotal episode in the shows history. Rocky Maivia sides with the Nation of Domination, and, although its not named, DX is formed with HBK, HHH, Chyna and a returning Rick Rude come together. After that we update some

#72- They Did A Deathmatch On TNT?!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2021/08/05

This week on the show we talk about the latest news in the wrestling world, including some significant WWE releases. We also take some time to chat bout the fact that AEW actually aired a legit deathmatch on cable television! Say what you will, but Nick Gage vs. Chris Jericho was a big deal. We also hop in the way back machine to revisit SummerSlam 1997 and the Raw that followed it. This two day span was most notable for Stone Cold Steve Austin suffering a broken neck, and The Hitman capturing his
