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

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!

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!

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.
