Hello Bertha Faye, goodbye women’s division! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys discuss the most horrific debut they’ve seen yet, as Bertha Faye skips her way into our hearts and minds. Diesel has a great match, Aldo Montoya soars to new cartoony heights, and Sid gives us more promo gold. Set sail with “Lady Discovery” and witness the new lands (and new lows) of what the future holds!

We’ve only got two notes on this one! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys examine the debut of Jean-Pierre LaFitte, the advanced data mining strategy of the WWF, and an extremely entertaining 2-on-1 handicap match (not really) for the WWF Tag Team Championships. With so many quality segments, like Weekend at Backlund’s and In Your House Reports, it’s amazing that we were able to fit in both Contemporary News and a Jobber of the Week. Roy Raymond Roy Raymond Roy Raymond!

Is this a setup for a Jason Bartlett presidential run? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, Bartlett is off celebrating the birth of his nation, and Joe and Ryan take up the slack with a two-man commentary table. We get the increased neckbeard of Yokozuna, a new cartoony debut, and Kama’s new chain. Can we get a tally on how many martial arts Kama uses against his opponents?

Whaddaya say?!? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys are coming back from WrestleMania 11 and into a brand new clusterfuck of storytelling. Men on a Mission get their hair dyed black, Shawn Michaels and Diesel are friends now, and Lex Luger continues to ruin everything he’s in. On the plus side, we get one more dose of Nicky Turturro, one of the best matches of 1995 so far, and another great look at a Jobber of the Week that had a better career than we’ve been led to believe. You know what

It’s a special WrestleMania spectacular! In this very special episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys got together to have some drinks, have some laughs, and review the biggest wrasslin’ event of the year! While widely considered as one of the worst WrestleManias of all time, some distilled lubrication eased the pain enough for Joe, Ryan, and Jason to have a great time, and we hope you have one too. Thank Friar Ferguson for Nicky Turturro!

Hello to all of our Rawheads out there! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, Jason observes Todd Pettingzoo’s tongue up Vince’s ass; Ryan gives us a lesson on tech and internet history since he’s been denied a Jobber of the Week segment yet again; even Joe falls victim to WrestleMania 11, and has no contemporary Wrasslin’ news for us. It’s official, Monday Night Raw has hit a new low, and this episode earned the title of “Worst Episode Ever,” isn’t that right, Butthead?

We are confident that Bam Bam is not made of snakes and alligators! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, Jason continues to be terrified of Sid, Joe loves how “fucking weird” Paul Bearer is, and Ryan gets denied his Jobber of the Week segment yet again. We’re winding down to WrestleMania XI, and the wrasslin’ well is drying up. On a positive note? Donk gets killed!

Thank goodness, everything is back to normal! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, Jason does a deep dive into the real racing career of Bob “Spark Plug” Holly, Ryan gets denied a “Jobber of the Week” segment, and Joe is disgusted enough by Ryan’s talk of a King Kong Threesome that he becomes speechless. We get the return of Bull Nakano, and the boys all pop their ass off for the one person that they never would have expected. Yet again, Bob Backlund has ruined everything!

It’s not the creative, it’s the steroids! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys start to notice things that are distinctly “1995.” Jason gives his semi-professional opinion on the state of Man Mountain Rock’s tie dye, Ryan brings us up to speed on Marcia Clark’s topless photos, and Joe made it a point to write down that Oscar is the most useless manager of all time. Even though “Bartlett and his mother” love it, we won’t be preempted by the dog show!

Apparently Shatner is both an ass and a dick? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, things start out on a sober note, but quickly get back to their usual tenor when Jason laughs heartily at Bob Holly’s apparent concussion. Joe continues as a contributing expert, this time as a musician, and Ryan informs us all about the career of Property Formerly of Dr. Wolf.

Ladies and gentlemen, we truly apologize to you for what just happened- the 1995 Royal Rumble! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys go over the ‘95 Rumble, and reveal some interesting agreements and disagreements about what went on there. Jason does his best to bury Stephanie Wiand and Joe does his best to bury the IRS v. Undertaker match, while Ryan can’t handle 28 jobbers and is therefore excused from his duties for the week. Surprises abound as opinions don’t wind up as predicted, and

Moooooo! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the Bob Holly crashing jokes are fast and furious. Ryan’s Jobber of the Week is another potential victim of Gary Sabough, Joe flexes his investigative muscles by asking some hard-hitting questions, and Jason spends the majority of the episode confused. King Kong Bundy is disgusting, and so is the debut of Mantaur.

Ryan gushes over William Shatner, Jason rediscovers his love of simple holds, and Joe has a relevant question for Pamela Anderson. Also, Hakushi debuts, Kama is still beating children, and two middle aged men tear each other’s clothes off!

Are you ready for some great storytelling from real professionals? Well keep dreaming! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys are treated to the first episode of 1995, and suffice it to say, 1995 is already living up to its reputation. Ryan’s Jobber of the Week is a sad story, Joe keeps fighting back against physical illness, and Jason is extremely excited by the announcement that the Harvey Whippleman/Howard Finkle feud of 1994 will apparently be continuing. Hey, look on the bright side… at

Joe’s sick of Lex Luger, both literally and figuratively! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, Joe is out sick, and Ryan and Jason just won’t do an episode without him. In the meantime, the boys bullshit about matches and superstars to look forward to over the course of 1995. We’re all looking forward to ladder matches and Sunny days!
