Episode 54: Wrestlemania Backlash reaction, Darby-Hardy insanity and more

Wrestlemania Backlash is in the books, and the question is this - if a good pay-per-view happens, and no-one watches, does it even matter?

There were lots of good matches in an event that was ultimately missable, and we break it all down on today's show. We also talk about speculation regarding Roman Reigns' contractual status, that insane Darby-Hardy match on Dynamite, when geography makes a face a heel, and Hookhausen.

Plus a hidden gem from TNA, fantasy booking the road to Hell in a Cell, and loads more!

Episode 53: the Wrestlemania Backlash card is up in the air, Wardlow is over and more

Change is usually a good thing - but not when the Wrestlemania Backlash card is just days away, and WWE decides to alter the match that was anchoring the whole event. 

But the Tag Team Title Unification bout between The Usos and RK-Bro is out, and instead, we've got a six-man tag between The Bloodline and Orton, Riddle and McIntyre. 

We break down the whole card ahead of this Sunday's premium live event; look at *that* brilliant Blackpool Combat Club promo from AEW; analyse what's going wrong with Ronda Rousey in WWE - and find another hidden gem in the wrestling archives.

Episode 52: Asuka returns to Raw, FTR put on a clinic on Dynamite and more.

The Empress of Tomorrow is back on Monday Night Raw.

Asuka has returned to confront Becky Lynch to set up a new top-tier feud on WWE's flagship show - in the same week that FTR put on a wrestling clinic on AEW Dynamite.

Throw in a barbed-wire ladder, some of the worst sound-mixing you'll ever hear on a live television show and the first words from HOOK, and you can see why it's been such a bumper week in the world of wrestling for us to get into.

Plus should the brand-split end, another wrestling hidden gem from the archives, more Cody fantasy booking and more!

Episode 51: the Wrestlemania Backlash card becomes clearer, AEW and New Japan make history and more

We're on the road to Wrestlemania Backlash... if that's a phrase we can use!

WWE has already set Seth-Cody II and a Rousey-Flair rematch, and we'll be breaking down the card as it stands so far. In AEW, there's been a major announcement of a joint show between AEW and New Japan for the summer, and have pulled the trigger on a Sammy heel turn.

We get into all of that, celebrate twenty years of Randy Orton, discuss the use of religious imagery in pro wrestling, and hear about an AMAZING Beckett family tradition revolving around the Ric Flair chop!

We also talk about the luke-warm build towards Adam Cole and Adam Page's AEW World Championship match on Rampage, why The Miz is criminally underrated - and why Charlie shouldn't be allowed in a swimming pool again any time soon!

And in AEW, Chris Jericho is continuing to reinvent himself and elevate new talent; Jeff Hardy is continuing to be a daredevil; Thunder Rosa is the new AEW Women's Champion - and William Regal is having the time of his life in AEW.
