Wrasslin' Raw

About Wrasslin' Raw

Wrasslin' Raw is a wrestling podcast that centers around three friends doing a deep-dive into World Wrestling Entertainment's past. Starting in 1993, Joe, Ryan, and Jason take a look back at old-school wrestling by watching the WWE show Monday Night Raw in chronological order, along with the Pay-Per-Views as they happen. Bringing together three different viewpoints that sometimes agree and sometimes don't, Wrasslin' Raw is a round table discussion centered around individual episodes and events. Our hosts give opinions on matches, wrestlers, and storylines, as well as brief glimpses into the then-contemporary world of professional sports entertainment. Fans of wrestling from their early youth, the boys decided one day to start re-watching old episodes of Raw. This started a texting discussion thread that wound up revealing some reevaluations of old favorites, new appreciation for things overlooked, and an overall richer viewpoint that has been informed by hindsight. Realizing this, the suggestion to record a podcast of the discussion was made and Wrasslin' Raw was born. WELCOME EVERYONE- TO WRASSLIN' RAWWWWWW!

   WWE: Halftime Heat 1999

   It's a 300th Episode Spectacular!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys celebrate their 300th episode by taking a look at Halftime Heat, a special WWF Championship match wrestled in an empty arena.  Mankind and the Rock battled it out through all of the areas of the arena to get to a very cinematic finish, complete with Vince McMahon on commentary- it was the only way to beat Stevie Wonder in the ratings!

   WWE Raw: January 25, 1999

   We just had the I Quit Match- so here's another I Quit Match!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take in the fallout from the Royal Rumble.  Stipulations are afoot as Stone Cold Steve Austin once again becomes the number one contender for the title, the Rock continues to grow beyond the Corporation, and Degeneration X starts to fracture.  Bluedust debuts, and Gangrel loses yet another match.  "Is it the man that I'm cucking that has hurt me? No, it must be someone else entirely."

   WWE: Royal Rumble 1999

   Here's an idea: Mankind can take some chair shots to the head! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys watch one of the most memorable Pay Per Views, the 1999 Royal Rumble. Mankind and the Rock headline this in the brutal "I Quit" Match, while the story between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon hits a new high with the finish of the Rumble.  Sable returns to take on Luna, somehow Gangrel gets a European title shot, and Bad Ass Billy Gunn falls flat. McMahon is not on the juice!
