FOLLOW OFF THE TOP ROPE: A PRO WRESTLING PODCAST ON TWITTER. 0:03:00-0:09:00 - We talk SmackDown, specifically Undertaker vs. Dean Ambrose, and ask if this week has been as good as it gets for matches on WWE TV. 0:09:00-0:32:30 - It's Raw time, including talk of dance-offs, the tease of Antonio Cesaro moving to the next level, Ryback is Batman now, and is The Shield stuck in a rut, creatively? 0:32:30-38:30 - We discuss the John Cena injury, if the WWE house show culture needs to change, and if the Rock has wrestled his final match. 38:30-43:30 - We just lash out at TNA for TNA'ing perhaps harder than they have in month. 45:30-1:37:30 - It's Halloween Havoc '98! We talk Steiner Math, the rematch nobody wanted to see, a great main event and if it getting cut off the PPV taping was incompetence or underhanded promotional tactics, botched fireballs... We have a lot of honorary LVPs this week and very few MVPs. 1:37:30-1:47:00 - We reveal which show we're watching next week with Jason Mann of Wrestlespective (spoiler: it's Souled Out '98) and discuss an email that brings up the Divas division.

FOLLOW OFF THE TOP ROPE: A PRO WRESTLING PODCAST ON TWITTER. 0:01:30-0:23:30 - It's Raw talk, from the UK. We mourn Antonio Cesaro, talk about the Undertaker wrestling on Raw, whether a Shield beatdown was out of necessity or if it foreshadowed new members of the faction, objectifying females, and of course Fandango. 0:23:30-0:30:00 - Impact Time. We talk the return to the ring by AJ Styles, and the great confrontation between Bad Influence and the Dirty Heels. Unfortunately, there wasn't much else in regards to TNA this week. 0:33:00-1:34:00 - We talk NWA Great American Bash 1990. We talk about WCW shooting itself in the foot in regards to booking, how great tag team wrestling can be, Mike shares an embarassing secret from his childhood, the amazingly awkward Great Muta-El Gigante match from New Japan, and the birth of the Sting era of WCW.

FOLLOW OFF THE TOP ROPE: A PRO WRESTLING PODCAST ON TWITTER. For this episode, Sean Reuter of Cageside Seats stops by to co-host and talk about the week that was, starting at TNA Impact Thursday and taking us through RAW on Monday! Because of the uniqueness of the event we reviewed, the show was recorded chronologically. This is not something we plan on doing full time. 2:00-11:00 - Impact Wrestling talk, including what comes from the Gut Check match, the stipulations to this week's tag title match and the implications, and should Brooke Hogan turn heel? 11:00-29:00 - We talk the biggest indy weekend of the year, including stuff on Evolve, DGUSA, Ring of Honor, CZW, and Shimmer. 31:00-1:18:00 - It's WrestleMania time, but did the show pass the mustard? (hint: we might spend more time talking Sin Cara, Richie Steamboat, and Michael McGillicutty than the show) 1:19:00-1:46:00 - We talk this week's incredible Raw, Dolph Ziggler cashing in and if it means anything, the crowd and their chants, and did Ryback turn heel? We also name our MVP and LVP of WrestleMania, and announce next week's Listener's Choice winner! (spoiler, it's ECW One Night Stand 2006) SUBSCRIBE VIA RSS

FOLLOW OFF THE TOP ROPE: A PRO WRESTLING PODCAST ON TWITTER. We talk the news, particularly Raw, John Cena with an edge, Antonio Cesaro actually winning a match, and Punk and Undertaker getting physical. It's then on to Impact, where we discuss one of the best episodes of Impact in the company's history, the great video work by Bully Ray, and the new rules of the X-Division. We then ask the question, while talking about the future of Dolph Zigger, and before we go to a show featuring General Hugh G. Rection, can a bad name kill a promising wrestler's career? Our show this week is WCW Fall Brawl 2000, and it is absolutely insane. Random turns, a string of nothing but random gimmick matches, the Insane Clown Posse, child stars getting hit with guitars, faces full of stuff... it is not possible to put into words the surreal majesty of this show. Next week, we go back to 2004, with WrestleMania XX. It's the perfect show to go into WrestleMania weekend with! Make sure you nominate matches for our listener's choice show, which will be the week after WrestleMania! SUBSCRIBE VIA RSS

FOLLOW OFF THE TOP ROPE: A PRO WRESTLING PODCAST ON TWITTER. On this week’s show, we start the show with an international flair, as we discuss AAA's announcement that they are coming to the US market. We then talk Raw, the Road to WrestleMania and the speedbumps when they champ is not around. After that, it's TNA time, as Impact is finally out of the Impact Zone for good. How did the first show in Chicago go? After a break, it's KENTA vs. Bryan Danielson, Marifuji vs. Nigel McGuinness, and the rest of Ring of Honor Glory By Honor V Night 2. We talk long, bad promos by Jim Cornette, Bruno's mic just not being loud enough, and will someone please take the gum away from Nigel? Next week, we are going into the abyss that is Russo-led WCW with Fall Brawl 2000. Be sure to let us know what you thought of the show, what you thought of the ROH show, or just flat out what you think about the show via any of the ways to get in touch with us. SUBSCRIBE VIA RSS

FOLLOW OFF THE TOP ROPE: A PRO WRESTLING PODCAST ON TWITTER. On this week's show, we have a lot of news. We touch on Paul Bearer's passing, which segues us into a Raw talk. We then focus on TNA, coming off one of their most important shows in recent history, Lockdown. We talk about them TNAing things up with Bobby Roode, and the great ending that left Bully Ray TNA World Champion. We then go into ECW Barely Legal. Lots of talk about the chants, Michinoku Pro and how risky that was, where Terry Funk ranked on the Muta scale, and much more! This show is toned down as far as the post-production goes. It's a more bare bones act, with most of the episode being Rex and Mike just chatting, without a lot of the clips. Real life gets in the way sometimes of adding "Fuck You D-Von!" chants. Next week, we tackle the Ring of Honor, as we discuss Glory By Honor V: Night 2. SUBSCRIBE VIA RSS
