The Game is a quiz series featuring regular guests on the panel battling out to show their supremacy over one another. BracketMania sees the crew whittle 16 down to 1 in pursuit of finding the best

2025/01/05

Since 2018 WWE have been taking their Premium Live Events to Saudi Arabia twice a year and raking in major money for doing so. Way back when the deal was first done, many criticised the company's decision to do so, some of its talent refused to go and perform and others were unable to on safety grounds, but the shows went ahead nonetheless.

In February of 1998, WWE were on the road to WrestleMania XIV, arguably one of the most important wrestling shows in the company's history. That month they were presenting No Way Out of Texas: In Your House, to be headlined by an 8-man tag match featuring 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie versus D-Generation X with one drawback- one of their biggest stars, and WWE Champion at the time, Shawn Michaels, was unavailable, owing to the back injury he'd suffered at that year's

2024/11/17

On the latest RWR Now, we sit down to discuss the recent angle on Smackdown where Kevin Owens used a piledriver on Randy Orton during a brawl, which was sold by all concerned as an unspeakable act of brutality. What did our panel make of the angle? What does it say for the direction of WWE? Was it believable in a world where other promotions are having wrestlers do similar moves on a nightly basis? Or conversely, is their a concern that Owens' using a piledriver makes it more likely for dangerous

2024/10/27

At the end of 1991 WWE were at a crossroads- the ring boy scandal had been closely followed by the beginning of the steroid scandal, and in the midst of all that, the company had committed a creative faux pas with their attempt to cash in on the Gulf War with the Sgt Slaughter storyline which itself had ended with yet more backstage turmoil and the departure of the Ultimate Warrior.

Coming out of the Invasion angle that had dominated the WWE calendar through most of 2001, WWE were looking to reset and to that end they repositioned Steve Austin as a babyface, repositioned Kurt Angle and Vince McMahon as a heels, introduced Ric Flair as the thorn in the Chairman's side, unified the WWE and WCW titles, and brought back Triple H following his injury.
