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

Hey Yo! This week on the show we chat about the recent Dynasty PPV from AEW. Spoiler alert: It was really good.

2026/04/09

Hey Yo! This week on the show we get off on some random tangents, which we have been told many of you enjoy. We do get into the latest from AEW as they build up to Dynasty and all the WWE stuff as they build to WrestleMania weekend as well as a ton of other topics. Cheers!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/04/02

Hey Yo. First and foremost, my apologies for the coughing, but I have been down bad for a few days, but Adam and I are back on our regularly scheduled BS as always for you fantastic listeners. Lots of WrestleMania in the history segment and from there we get into a new era of Smackdown as the draft has split the roster in half. We then tread water to the finish, but what are you gonna do? Cheers!

#311- Whatcha Gonna Do When the Kanenites Run Wild On...

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/03/26

Hey Yo! This week on the show we are thankfully still in business for the Smackdown Symposium, which is great because it was such a fun episode. It happens to be the last time (for a bit) that both the Smackdown and Raw rosters will intermingle. The history segment was also fun and took a strange turn at the end. From there we took a look at an absolute bloodbath of a Texas Death Match from TNA and spent a little time on the current stuff. Cheers!

#310- Smackdown Sendoff?

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/03/19

Hey gang! This week on the show we have a little lackluster history segment to kick things off. From there, we take a look at the Smackdown that followed WrestleMania 18. As it turns out, it may be the last Symposium as there has been a new development in the Peacock department. Then we spent the rest of the show chatting about Raw, and the AEW Revolution show, which was an absolute banger! Cheers!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/03/12

Hey gang! This week on the show we took a detailed look at the go home Smackdown to WrrestleMania X8. But first we kicked things off with some history and a surprise birthday phone call to one of our favorites. From there we continued on our path down the Kings Road as we watched a pivotal match between Misawa and Jumbo. Then we wrapped things up with some current AEW and WWE chatter. Cheers!

#308- Mask-y AF

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/03/05

Hey Yo. This week on the show we kick things off with the usual history segment. It's pretty tame this week, not gonna lie. After that we check out the 3/7/02 Smackdown as they are just one show away from WrestleMania X8. In the Stu we talk about the WWE Elimination chamber where we saw the debut of Danhausen and the reveal of the mysterious masked man, and much more. Cheers!

#307- He's Got a (Net) Gun!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/02/26

Hey Yo! This week on the show we are ramping up the road to WrestleMania X8 in Toronto as we took a look at a crazy Smackdown. We had (almost) 100% less death in the history segment so that is a move in the right direction. We also recapped the latest JWA show and touched on the latest offerings from WWE, AEW and MLW. Cheers!

#306- Shirt Full of Hair?!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/02/19

Hey Yo. This week on the show we kick things off with a somber edition of the history seg. It was a dark day. We also took a look at the No Way Out 2002 show that saw the introduction of the NWO to the WWE, and the Smackdown that followed. They are definitely making their presence felt. In the Stu we chat mainly about AEW's Dynamite and Grand Slam: Sydney, but hit on some other stuff as well. Cheers!

#305- Bring Me His Heart!!!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/02/12

Hey gang! this week on the show we spent a lot of time on the go home show to the 2002 No Way Out show. There was a lot to cover in that Smackdown as we are in full on soap opera mode with this Stephanie/HHH thing. Not too much to note in the history seg and The Stu focused primarily on the latest offerings from WWE & AEW. We did have some WWE Vault on in the background that may have been mentioned a few times, lol.

#304- A Royal Recap

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/02/05

Hey Yo! This week on the program we have an abbreviated version of the history before getting into the Smackdown Symposium where we are just days away from the NWO arriving in the WWF. From there we get into the main event of the show, which was the Royal Rumble watch party with none other than Kevin Nash. It was a memorable time and we did our best to tell the whole tale. Cheers!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/01/22

Hey gang! This week on the show we spent a little more time than usual on the Smackdown Symposium because, while it was strange, it contained a big moment.

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/01/15

Hey Yo! This week on the show we chat about the go home Smackdown to the 2002 Royal Rumble, as well as some good stuff in the history segment. As far as current action goes, it was pretty AEW heavy as WWE tipped their hand with what was going on before we could watch. Also, an old lady gives Mat advice on life. Cheers!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2026/01/08

Hey gang! This week on the show things start off a little rocky. Mat is under the weather, and we are coming off a couple weeks of the schedule getting shuffled around. We had to show up for 300 though! We talked about the loss of one of our own as well as our attempt to watch NJPW Wrestle Kingdom live. On the retro side of things, we are marching towards the 2002 Royal Rumble and finish the show with a five-year-old Cameo from Nick F'n Gage. Cheers!

2025/12/31

Hey gang! We hope you are having the best holiday season. We sat down a day early to bring you one last show before we kick 2025 to the curb! It was quite the year and we finished with a trip to the Now Arena in suburban Chicago to check out AEW's Worlds End PPV live. It was a great time and we can't wait to have more "boots on the ground" moments in 2026. Cheers!

Dorkside of the Ring ·

2025/12/24

Hey gang! We were a bit strapped for time this week and with some scheduling issues we had to record a day early. I don't really think we mailed it in, but you can judge for yourselves... just like Adam judged my social activities, lol. But seriously, thank you all for the support over the last five years. We have no plans of slowing down, in fact, 2025 has been our most successful year yet and that doesn't happen without you wonderful listeners!
