The shocking news from Raw this week. Roman Reigns is taking a leave of absence from WWE to focus on his health. He will battle Leukemia for the second time. What now for the main event picture on Raw? INCIDENTAL CONTACT joins the list of overused WWE Phrases. Also, “WWE World Cup To Determine The Best In The World At Crown Jewel” is now one word rather than a sentence. Thoughts on the rumours of Chris Jericho and Jim Ross setting up a wrestling promotion. Dean Ambrose attacks Seth Rollins. What...

A three man booth this week as Gordo is still on his around the world travels.

Stephanie McMahon thinks that WWE are listening to their audience. Need we say any more? Well, luckily for you, we have a lot to say on that topic! Other topics include: The WWE Evolution “leaked” card (MYC and NXTUK SPOILER FREE, DONT WORRY!!!) Time wasting on WWE TV PPV storyline build in the Network Era. Are we seeing an all time low for creative? Is the Networks affect on the booking the worst thing to happen to modern WWE? Renee Young at the commentary desk! The 205 Live guys showing up on ...

We go in depth with All In coverage this week for our 50th weekly episode! We break down the card and discuss it all in depth. Scamcast...a discussion. WWE Evolution is not selling, a problem they made for themselves. A debate on whether or not we need The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels on Raw in 2018 when the roster is bursting at the seams with new talent. The entire Raw roster is now being used to get Roman Reigns cheered. It's not going to work. Turn him heel and then back again! We also cove...

Cody made comments on a Reddit AMA that seemed to anger some (definitely not all) Irish wrestling fans. Are they just being too sensitive? The PWI 500 was released this week, does The Miz deserve to be in the top 10 ahead of Ciampa and Gargano? Neville is a free agent, what’s next for him? The ALL IN preview and predictions portion kind of overshadowed the show. We break down the card in great detail and lay out how we see it going considering the Over The Budget Battle Royal has a huge part to ...

We kick off the show by doing a quick recap of last weekend's action from NXT Takeover Brooklyn 4 and WWE Summerslam. Ambrose and Rollins rushed out in riot gear to help Roman Reigns keep the Universal Title on Raw. The Shield are back but was that a heel turn? Why didn’t they wait until the bell rang? So many questions... Becky Lynch is being forced as a heel as the fans loudly cheered her every word. Why cant WWE just go with the flow? Why do they always fight what the fans want? Isn't Charlot...

There was so much going on in the world of wrestling this week that we didn’t even get to recap Raw and Smackdown!

Why don’t they go after WWE for the money together? A quick chat about Randy Orton's antics backstage leads us to the big story of the week... Dave Meltzer faced the wrath o...

We're pretty sure this weeks episode of Raw was a re-run. You know the one where Joey and Chandler swap apartments with Monica and Rachel? Brock Lesnar showed up to Raw with some sort of red championship. Roman Reigns called him names and such. They finally got a “we want Roman” chant and they didn't send him out...what are they doing to the guy?! Thankfully Smackdown was great again this week. Samoa Joe is incredible on the mic, heel Orton is killing it and we had a great tag team match. Howeve...

This show went off the rails in a beautiful way. It may be the best show we have ever done while also being the worst show in terms of actual wrestling coverage. We started by proclaiming this weeks Being The Elite to be their best ever show. Famous Dick Wrestler Joey Ryan finally had his memorial service. His own (hot) wife could not attend but his best buds were in there to see his sleazy soul move on to the great squared circle in the sky. This week on Raw we had a Roman Reigns spin off show,...

WWE stock is at an all-time high...how did that happen? No deaths or releases this week, just some average shows! Raw was a bit of a stinker in terms of continuity but we had what we suspect is a Bayley heel turn? Where do we see this going? Smackdown was a little better and we had the surprise return of Kane who helped Daniel Bryan see off a beatdown by the Bludgeon Brothers. What does a revamped Team Hell No do for Daniel Bryan? We cover the rest of the stuff from WWE TV this week before endin...

In a week that saw WWE seal ANOTHER billion dollar TV deal we were robbed of a match that was advertised for an entire week! Don't worry though, they had a dance contest instead. Stuff like this confirms everybody's fears, these new TV deals mean WWE can do whatever they want from now on and they will troll their fans mercilessly for the next 5 years! What do these new TV deals mean for the brand split? We discuss a few ideas, there's no way it stays as it is surely? Fox and USA will want big ra...

Unfortunately, due to a connection issue, Steves usual standard of audible chocolate is affected. His audio is usually like a Galaxy Caramel - smooth, delicious, sexy, but this week Steves internet was being a dick so it breaks apart like a cheap Flake in an ice cream cone. Sure, it's delicious in parts but breaks away too easily and never truly achieves the consistency and glory of the aforementioned Galaxy Caramel. It's patchy at the start, gets better for about 15 mins, then falls apart like ...
