The podcast where two guys review Ring of Honor, show-by-show, from the beginning.
On the new ThROH The Years we cover a very dramatic moment in Bryan Danielson's history as we review Gut Check, a show with one of the craziest instances of a wrestler working through an injury. But there's so much more. Trevor is discombobulated. Matt educates us about Jennifer Warnes and even sings. Check your stomach biome and get downloading!
ThROH The Years returns after a break. You better have missed us! Matt was at All In and talks about the influence ROH has had on the AEW of today. We then cover Epic Encounter II, a show with a looong Bryan Danielson/Nigel McGuinness match that Bryan didn't like, but who do we feel about it? Also we have plenty of adorable quotes from Wade Keller, discover the joy of Matt Sydal's promos, and we deliver the debut of a new show tradition, The Matt F Trophy! We're back and on the attack folks....
On the new ThROH The Years, on the eve of AEW's UK debut, we cover Anarchy in the UK, the second night of ROH's first tour of England. It's a show Trevor thinks is cozy! We talk about it all, including prostates, two fingers, SUWA nearly squashing Bryan Danielson, and the distances between cities. A nice way to pre-game for all the Alls!
On a very special ThROH The Years, Alan Counihan joins us for an hour-long interview about ROH's first-ever trip to the UK, giving a ton of insight to the scene at the time. Then Matt and Trevor go solo and do a full review of Unified, ROH's first show outside of the US. We cover two fantastic matches on top, the implications of the infamous ring post spot, a wild burial of Chad Collyer and so much more.
On the new ThROH The Years we welcome first-time guest Phil Schneider (DVDVR, Ringer, Way of the Blade) to review Fight of the Century, a show with an hour-long epic between Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson that we all might have liked more than Bryan Danielson did. Phil regales us with many a spicy tangent, Matt gets a Cameo from Bret Hart, and Trevor discovers he's the odd grump out on a match.
On the new ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor get macho as they review Time to Man Up, a very consistent B-Show with some surprisingly significant moments. We say farewell to AJ Styles and discuss his first two ROH runs. We also talk about how things were better when they were worse and dread becoming middle-aged. All that and adorable anecdotes about Matt's Dad attending the show and meeting Kenta in a bathroom.
Today on a brand new ThROH The Years, we are joined again be Jeff Schwartz to cover Generation Now, a show Jeff named! We bid a fond farewell to Generation Next, cover the night of two Christian Cages, and talk about another big Nigel vs. Danielson match that you've probably forgotten. Which pro wrestler has deceptively huge hands? Who came up with the "Mr.Small Package" gimmick? Jeff has the answers!

On the new ThROH The Years, the boys are back to review Chi-Town Struggle. Topics include our imaginary Cameo business, Trevor stumbling over himself a lot like this was a first-year episode, why Bryan Danielson is like a modern stand-up comic, and so much more. A real honkin' episode, so tune in.
On the shortest ThROH The Years ever, Matt and Trevor breeze through Throwdown, a B-Show with a high-quality double main event. KENTA and Roderick Strong hit each other hard, Jimmy Jacobs gets to shine, and the boys have some friendly disagreements on a few matches. A nice quick (By our standards) listen to get you ready for Mania week.
ThROH the Years about to get all up in your area with our review of IN YOUR FACE, one of the craziest events in ROH history, a night where so many wild things happened.

Welcome to 2023! ThROH The Years starts it off by covering one of the worst ROH shows in quite some time. From bland matches, to a bad crowd, to audio problems, there are a lot of things to blame. We cover them all in Christian's debut ROH appearance! RIP to my laptop.
ThROH The Years recovers from the previous show by covering Weekend of Champions Night 2! Jeff Schwartz joins us to review a much better event, featuring an absolute classic match that gets a little overshadowed, the end of Super Dragon, a real whiff of a disappointment, and the mildest comeback to a heckle ever. Lots of diversions and fun to be had here!
ThROH The Years picks up after the Milestone Series with one of our weirdest episodes ever. We learn about crumpets! Listen for the moment where Trevor actively considers if he should call the police! Oh, and we review one of the dullest ROH shows in recent memory. All of it makes for what we call in the podcast industry, a good episode.
It's a special time as we're here with ThROH The Year's 100th EPISODE! We cover ROH's own 100th show, another all-timer in a string of them. Trevor loses it during a segment , you'll know which one. Matt does his Jerry Lawler. We might have figured out a secret dream match that would've happened. Thank you to everyone who has been with us over these 100!

ThROH The Years presents one of the biggest shows in its history covering one of the biggest shows in ROH history, the original Supercard of Honor. We cover the legendary Dragon Gate Six-Man from a million angles, examining its influence on wrestling. We also feast on the heavy meal that is the end of the Danielson/Strong trilogy. Trevor also has a weird anecdote spurred on by a weird Ace Steele promo. THIS IS ONE OF THE BIG SHOWS. GET DOWNLOADING.
ThROH The Years begins ROH's first triple shot with triple voices. That's right, first time guest Chad Campbell @bigboysplaywcw joins us to run down Dragon Gate Challenge. It's a show that ends the Christopher Daniels/Samoa Joe feud...kinda. It also is in some ways the birth of Dragon Gate's US influence, but most of all it's remembered as the night BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs almost died. It all turns out fun, at least on this episode!
ThROH The Years continues through the Milestone Series covering Best in the World. Is it the best show ROH has done yet? Possibly! Headlined by two great tag matches, we talk about the promo that saved Jimmy Jacobs' career, odd humming, and a lot more. SPOILER WARNING: We ruin the ending of 1999 Best Picture winner American Beauty.

Two or three very different great matches, the return of the Briscoes, the farewell for two others, a great chapter of the CZW feud, and Jack Evans takes one of the scariest bumps in history. Plus we talk about who people resemble in a segment that I have no idea how harshly Matt will edit. Listen and find out!
ThROH The Years is finally ready to cover the weirdest show in ROH history, Unscripted II. A series of fallings out and a snowstorm ravage a card and open the door for one final CM Punk match. We cover it in incredible detail including discovering an amazing proposed ROH match that almost was. Plus we talk about an important evolution for Nigel McGuinness, heckling fans, bad pancakes, do snow angels make you a pussy, and Trevor makes Matt uncomfortable by proposing a Cream Scale.

ThROH The Years presents its fourth annual year in review show! First we review all of Final Battle 2005, a very noteworthy show topped off with a great match from a debuting Japanese superstar. Then we do our annual mini-show recapping 2005, doling out awards and giving overall thoughts. Oh and Trevor tells the darkest anecdote in show history.
On the new ThROH The Years we cover Steel Cage Warfare, a spectacle of a show full of violence, gimmicks and big storyline developments. We cover it all but also talk about a motionless Lance Storm, Trevor angering people on Twitter, Chef Boyardee, and asaucenations. This is an episode that has a little of everything.
