After a hiatus Rampage Rants Thursday Night Turmoil with your host "Sadistic" Sean David RETURNS LIVE to The Evolution Radio Network & Sean has a LOT on his mind to discuss!

9 years ago through the vision of a man who spent time not only as a wrestling manager, but as a promoter, commentator, and much more a podcast was formed with the original hosts The Late "Dean of Wrestling" Steve Cain & "Sadistic" Sean David, not soon after the inception of the podcast our female co-host "Khoatic" Katie was added after being a regular caller. There have been several other co-hosts to join us over the last 9 years as well whom we thank for their service. In April of 2021 this network lost someone who meant the world to us in "The Dean of Wrestling" Steve Can. Truthfully speaking we didn't know if the podcast would continue at that point and then were hit with the news of our dear sweet "Khaotic" Katie had gotten sick. It took the willpower of a Warrior in Katie and the ability to never give in or give up by Sean to keep this podcast going. Earlier this year the podcast was relaunched after a hiatus and we had finally found a suitable full-time co-host to join us that would bring as much knowledge as our beloved on man... that man would be none other than Sean's trainer "The Sultan of Slither" SYN. Doing this podcast has sparked the comeback not only for Syn but given the courage and fire back to our own Sean to return to taking more bookings as well. TONIGHT is Night THREE of our 9-Year Anniversary Celebration and it ends in a very big way with a woman that our beloved old man always wanted to have on the program...she is none other than Women's Wrestling LEGEND Princess Victoria! This is an interview that has been a LONG time coming, and Victoria is very excited to be joining us and sharing her stories with our listeners. Tonight is truly a celebration of triumph and overcoming all odds. Tonight ends the Anniversary truly designed for our beloved old man. We invite you to join us LIVE and not miss what promises to be a great interview and exchange of stories!

Rampage Productions Presents Rampage Rants FATALITY Friday! We talk about the 1000 elephant in the room!

Rampage Productions Proudly Presents: An Evolution Radio Network EXCLUSIVE! Rampage Rants Thursday Night Turmoil - Rampage Rants TNT on BTR LIVE! With your hosts: "Sadistic" Sean David, "Khaotic" Katie, "The Sultan of Slither" SYN, & The OLD Wise Man that never left us in spirit "The Dean of Wrestling" Steve Cain! TONIGHT on Rampage Rants TNT on BTR LIVE: Open Disucssion!

The hosts of ERN along with our Media Correspondent "The Mad Conservative" CRIMEFIGHTER have been closely following a story that has been developing over the past several months. (since March) and have found out this has been going on BEFORE that. This past Saturday the story took an AWFUL turn. James Jordan has attended several events in the Central / Southern IL and St Louis border area. This man has taken several inappropriate pics of female workers and posted them to his social media with very disturbing comments. He was caught by several on the Independent Scene in these areas doing so and was called out on it, in retaliation this man began slinging mud with several of the promotions he was attending and causing problems with promotions who had the gall to stand up to his obscene tactics. This past Saturday we were all alerted that this man Mr. Jordan attended an event back in March where he was asked to stop his actions & leave by a wrestler's husband and cornered said worker's husband in the bathroom and threatened to shoot him and WAS armed, the BIG problem with this is he is an alleged ex-felon who can NOT legally own a firearm. Team Ambition jumped into action and bum-rushed this man out of the building and authorities were called. Over the weekend Mr. Jordan messaged Papa Kenway the father of Matt Keneay over the weekend on Twitter and threatened Papa Kenway thinking he was the STL Reporter. Now we here at ERN are asking The Brotherhood of Professional Wrestling to take a STANCE to not only keep workers and staff safe, but after all the mass shootings we have seen in the existence of this program we are doing this as a PSA to alert fans as well. These actions could've led to an all-out tragedy. We are calling for a BAN on Mr. Jordan from ALL Midwest companies before this ends in disaster. Mr. Jordan, it's time for you to KISS THE RING AND KISS IT GOODBYE! Join Sean, Katie, Syn, & others as we discuss this LIVE!

"Never Say Never Again" was the title of the movie in which the late great Sir Sean Connery revived his role as superspy James Bond. It was a joke on his promise after "Diamonds Are Forever" that he would never play Bond again. In 2016, Sting, who had only wrestled four matches in WWE, announced his retirement during his Hall Of Fame speech. It was announced Thursday that Sting will make his in ring return on February 26 during AEW Revolution. This week's MLW Fusion, which Lee covers for Sportskeeda, saw an official debut and a short, but mysterious interview with lead heel manager Selina De La Renta which may have given a lead into a new potential storyline. WWE has signed several new talents, including someone Steve has interviewed, and of course in the tradition where you did not exist before being signed by WWE, even if you've worked for WWE before, they're being slapped with new names. GCW has announced the first four matches for their free online "Fight Forever" event that will occur from January 29-30. The situation in Mexico is making it look bleak for lucha for the immediate future. Impact held its "Hard To Kill" pay per view on Saturday in which AEW champion Kenny Omega wrestled in the main event, the first time a non Impact wrestler had ever been ON an Impact card, let alone recognized as champion of another company. Speaking of which, a current New Japan wrestler, who used to be part of a group with half of that main event, is making overtures, but not to whom you might think. Steve and Lee will cover these and several other stories this week.

Just when you think things at Major League Wrestling couldn't get any more surprising, a former Lucha Underground writer/assistant executive producer has been hired by Court Bauer just as a former Lucha Underground champion is joining the company. We'll tell you who the producer is, his connections not only to Lucha Underground, but one of the most outrageous segments of WWF TV ever. Speaking of outrageous, a former WWF star, who was also involved in an outrageous segement many years earlier, has been suspended by Twitter for outrageous behaviour that is not wrestling related. There appears to be both a date and location change for this year's WrestleMania. Will the current COVID-19 situation affect even these plans? In what has to be considered a highly unusual situation, a WWE contracted talent has filmed an interview for the VICE series DARK SIDE OF THE RING. Anyone hoping to attend Royal Rumble at the end of the month is going to be out of luck, we'll explain why. Rumors abound about Ricochet concerning his contract, we'll give you the most accurate information we have. In the past, many wrestlers have gone after the dirt sheets and sites about unflattering things they have written and now Charlotte Flair joins the club. We'll tell you what she said and the site she's going after. All this PLUS Lee will discuss the interview he recorded yesterday with former WWF/WCW/TNA executive producer Vince Russo.

In what has been a very interesting week for two of our co-hosts based on two events that happened over the weekend that will be discussed in great detail here tonight they both have to do with Sean & Steves promotion and working relationship together. These discussions could get a little EXTREME so we are giving everyone fair warning NOW. What you may hear may shock and appall you but we promise you the story you will get from Sean & Steve is the 1000% ABSOLUTE TRUTH of how these events went down. You will not want to miss it!

After a two week hiatus for the holidays Steve and Lee are back with the latest news. Wrestle Kingdom, New Japan's annual big show was done in two nights for the second time in two years, but this time without major North American talent. They not only had two good nights, there were title changes, a title challenge and a post match backstage interview/promo/possible shoot. MLW, which Lee covers for Sportskeeda has been taping TV and a name that many people know from other places captured one of their titles. AEW had an invasion for the first night of their New Year's Bash which was delayed a week for the Brodie Lee tribute show. After the invasion, the shirts came out. Also during this week, Snoop Dogg not only showed up, he made a splash, literally. Cody Rhodes told a story about working with him on Go-Big Show. There's been a turn in one of the Joey Ryan lawsuits, but it might not be what you think. WWE executive Bruce Pritchard did a company podcast the other week and let's just say it didn't get the best recption. Damien Priest was in NXT, then he's moving to main roster then he isn't. What's the deal? Ryback appears to be getting suppressd by WWE. And why wasn't Carlito at RAW Legends night? Well it depends on who you ask. Get ready for 60 minutes of fun wrestling talk tonight.

Unfortunately we start 2021 the way we ended 2020. Bobby Davis was the man who made managing a big deal in the wrestling business. We will talk about his legendary career in our opening segment. From there we will discuss RAW "Legends Night" which included at least one person we thought was coming back, and some people who weren't invited,. From there we get into night one of New Year's Bash from AEW which had an ending NO ONE could see coming. We'll look at Impact Wrestling's first TV of the year which added more items for Hard To Kill as well as New Japan's annual big event, Wrestle Kingdom. We'll also discuss the AEW games and NXT and MLW. In hour 2 we'll talk about our thoughts about what might happen during the coming year. NXT has a women's tag team tournament starting next week. Gee, where did they get THAT idea from? We'll also discuss the match pulled from last night's NXT New Year's Evil. WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley is asking Vince McMahon to remove someone from the Hall Of Fame. Game Changer Wrestling is looking to see how much of an insomniac you are. Former NWA TV Champion Zicky Dice is finally breaking his silence about leaving the promotion. What he was getting paid will absolutely shock you. Katie, Steve and Sean are ready to start 2021, are you?

We could not have the last week of the year end well. We started out the year with a ten bell and we end it the same way. In total we lost 123 members of the wrestling industry, not just performers but office people and other behind the scenes personnel. We will begin tonight by remembering the last 3 members of the industry that we have lost since our last show. Kevin GreeneDanny HodgeJon "Luke Harper" "Brodie Lee" Huber Sadly, it seems Jon couldn't be gone for a week before some "dirt sheet writer" had to post conspiracy theories about his death, forcing Amanda, his widow, who is already dealing with enough, to have to take the time to answer this fool instead of mourning the loss of her husband and the father of her children. In considering 2020, obviously COVID-19 became a major player, not just in everyday life, but in nearly ending the wrestling business. Empty arenas, which was a sign of failure in the past, was now how TV was being conducted. When Game Changer Wrestling brought it's previously canceled WrestleMania week shows to Indiana under the name The Collective, it became a petri dish as several wrestlers wound up testing positive and scared fans were forced to test and quarantine. While Miro defected to AEW to become "The Best Man", his wife, still in WWE, still known as Lana, was spending her Monday nights getting put through the announce table so many times we looked into hiring The Count from Sesame Street to keep up with Nia Jax vendetta against the former "Ravishing Russian". Meanwhile, Roman Reigns was becoming "The Head Of The Table" and The Dark Order, originally considered a doomed to failure joke, added Brodie Lee as The Exalted One and brought the group into the upper echelon of AEW. Katie, Steve and Sean will talk about these stories and more.

Note: We will NOT be on for the next two weeks because of the holidays. Please enjoy them safely. Lee Walker will not be on this week. I'm hoping a certain cohost will join me. What a year 2020 has been! We started out normally, then suddenly, because of this virus called COVID-19, in the words of the musical "Hamilton", "the world turned upside down". Not just independent promotions, but even AEW, Impact Wrestling & WWE were looking at the very real possibility of shutting down, so all three promotions scrambled to record as much TV as possible, dealing with gathering and other restrictions. After politics, namely Florida politics, entered the picture, things were brought back into play. However, not even limits in the amounts of people stopped the virus and both promotions were hit hard, even crossing promotions in one well known case, and some wrestlers even refused to work due to concerns for themselves and their families. The empty arena, once a very rare gimmick match, became the norm in wrestling. As restrictions were eased, a big set of shows in one state faced backlash as several wrestlers came up positive after the event. A WWE star became the victim of an obsessed stalker who terrorized his would be victim even after he was behind bars. Today, stories of another WWE star recieving mail at her home bring back thoughts of that incident. Shows have opened with a ten bell so much that not opening a show that way became a miracle. Despite these restrictions, pro wrestling, once considered possibly finished, has instead kept going. Even the independent shows, with smaller, more distant and masked crowds, are starting to return. In other news, a former WWE talent, the son of a WWE Hall Of Famer, pled guilty to a serious crime today. All of this and more will be covered this week.

On December 10th, 2016 Midwestern Wrestling Alliance, Rebellious Wrestling Federation, & Wrestling Past Present Future all teamed up for one cause... Wrestle Wars 2016 Benefiting The Wounded Warrior Project. The event was hosted at the PNA Hall in Streator IL. It featured talent from all over the Midwest. Tonight we take a look back into this HISTORIC event... something Sean & Steve Cain had in the works for a LONG time. We will be joined by people that were a part of the event. From there if time allows we will do our normal reviews of whats happned in wrestling in the last week!

Imagine you're a WWE superstar. Imagine you're one of their titleholders. Now imagine your cousin is a world famous performer. He's even performed your entrance LIVE at WrestleMania. Now imagine in a few weeks your cousin is going to show up on (gasp) THE COMPETITION! Well you already know who we're talking about but what is the reaction at WWE? We'll tell you all about that. At AEW the Inner Circle has been short one member as Santana has been missing for the last few episodes. We knew there was a personal issue that lead to his absence, now we know what that was. Triplemania XXVIII will happen this Saturday night in an empty arena situation in Mexico City. That doesn't mean it won't be an exciting event. with seven matches scheduled including one involving a past guest of ours.Speaking of past guests, our friend Mel "Thunder Rosa" Cervantes had her next Mission Pro Wrestling event Thursday and we will try to have the results. Steve and Lee will be covering these and other stories tonight, including a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT by our friend Bill Apter.

Sadly, we can't have a night of enjoyment without having to deal with the realities of 2020 so we open with the ten bell salute for Pat Patterson, who passed away yesterday. After we take an appropriate time to celebrate the life of the Hall Of Famer we will begin our celebration. Katie's journey to this point is a story in and of itself. She is the only one of the three of us who has never worked in a wrestling event in any capacity, yet her love for our wacky business is what made her find us. At first she would just listen to the show, then eventually started calling in with questions for our guests that were very well thought out. As we went through a parade of cohosts, the three constants of the show were Sean, Steve and Katie. After our last co-host went away, Steve and Sean were trying to figure out who or how to audition for a new cohost. Steve said "Let's talk to the Katie girl. She's on every week and she actually asks some pretty good questions." to which Sean agreed and reached out to her. The rest, as they say, is history, or maybe in Katie's case, HERstory. Katie has learned the business quite well and has held her own in interviews with some of the biggest stars and legends in the business, including her epic takedown of the late Joe "Road Warrior Animal" Laurianitis that we played on the tribute show. It's always funny to have Katie say "I hate you" when we make her take the lead on a Ladies Night show even though she KNOWS we're going to do it. And what show would be complete without making her snort and even gasp for air when she hears unreal road stories, including PINK PUBES (Sorry, I had to do it)! Tonight we are going to surprise Katie with some friends to poke fun at her and share in the celebration. Seriously, we love you and our lives would not be complete without you. Happy Birthday

For the first time in its three seasons in which it has covered the most controversial subjects in wrestling, including the Owen Hart, Chris Benoit and Dino Bravo cases, the Vice program DARK SIDE OF THE RING has run into a roadblock in trying to set up an episode, this one about Joannie "Chyna" Lauer. We have the information as to why this episode has stalled. Why did WWE pull an "indefinate suspension" of Brawn Strowman this past Monday night? There are two schools of thought, one of which has a Twitter post that could possibly be the clue. If you watch Impact Wrestling, you know "All Ego" Ethan Page has been on a bit of a losing streak lately, including this past week to "The Weenominal One AJ Swoggle". As always there is an explanation behind it and we will tell you about it. The Impact locker room is also very upset about a recent turn of events that they were not made aware of. Recently D'Von Dudley's sons made their AEW debut, well the son of another legendary star had a WWE tryout and we'll tell you who that is. The Netflix Hulk Hogan biopic has hit a snag and Eric Bischoff has an explanation. MLW has released its latest episode of FUSION, we'll tell you where you can watch it. Lee and Steve will discuss these stories along with some Kenny Omega news and a few other items - TONIGHT!

I honestly don't know what happened on Friday, so I'm doing it again. This time I will talk about Survivor Series, RAW, some possible TLC stories and the other news that fits in the time slot.

If you're working in WWE "Creative" you have just been given one of the hardest jobs in the world. You have less than two hours to complete both your Smackdown Men's and Women's Survivor Series teams AND get the audience to actually care about them before next week's go home show. If working for Vince isn't hard enough, you now have this added pressure. of adding one male and THREE females and making it make sense in just one show. In other news, knowing that Survivor Series is officially Undertaker's last hurrah, what's in store for one of the longest running and most successful performers in WWE history? Well he relates acouple of ideas that have been floated to him that could be very interesting. The Rascalz have finished up their commitments with Impact Wrestling and now we know why. Speaking of Impact, we'll discuss Saturday's impact Plus event Turning Point. MLW fans now have another outlet to watch their favorite wrestlers. The buy and crowd figures for Full Gear are now out. These stories and more with Steve Cain and Lee Walker - TONIGHT!

Monday night RAW completed the lineup for the men's Survivor Series team and continued the storyline rift between the members as well as Nia Jax continued attempts to demolish Lana before next Sunday's event. As of now we don't have a complete Smackdown team on either side so we are going to have to try and make some guesses as to who will round out the teams. Saturday AEW presented FULL GEAR which was very well recieved by wrestling fans all over. It was then followed up by a Dynamite that saw a very brutal Bunkhouse Brawl, Brandi Rhodes showing a completely different side of herself and a return that no one was expecting for a very long time. They also announced the launch of its games division with not just one, but THREE games. Impact is about to lose one of its more well liked tag teams. Is a former WWE star on his way back into the company? Where are WWE TV shows going to land in a few more weeks? Several weeks back we, as well as other wrestling media, covered the Sonya DeVille stalker saga. Well a new stalker has emerged going after another WWE star and we will give you the details on this very wild situation. Get ready for two hours of great wrestling discussion and fun with Katie, Steve and Sean.

After being released from his WWE contract, the man known as "The Man Of The Hour" seemed to drop off the face of the earth. For someone who was a constant presence on social media, especially Instagram, where he would interact, sometimes insultingly, with the fans who would ask to join in his videos. After what seemed to be an eternity away from not only social media, but wrestling itself, the man known as Lio Rush has returned, and it seems like this is not a temporary return. In other news, how much does Vince pay attention to AEW? Quite a bit, it seems. AAA ended their popular AutoLuchas series this past Sunday with matches that might point to the planned December Triplemania. WWE has filed for two new names while dropping one rather well known name. We have information regarding the current situation with AEW star PAC. New Japan has a major card slated for this weekend which could, once again, shift the balance of power within the company. Steve and Lee will cover these and other stories this week.

The world is in flux. We are gripped in the throes of a worldwide pandemic which has changed everything from how we vote to how we watch wrestling. As we prepare for yet another pay per view, this week from AEW, we examine how these issues have changed everything from staging to the final presentation of a wrestling event. This week we examine the news of the latest contract ending in wrestling, although there is an unusual situation with the particular wrestler involved. A name that hadn't been heard in quite a while is starting to gain momentum as he was not only on a recent episode of an up and coming promotion, he was announced for another major card this past weekend. What is the actual situation with Thunder Rosa? Has the WWE On Fox Twitter feed alienate another WWE star? The Young Bucks get to slap WWE in the face again. WWE has more issues with programming, including not having someone they're supposedly pushing on TV. Ring Of Honor crowns a champion they have not had in several years. The Kylie Rae situation has possibly blown up. We will discuss all these stories as well as any news that happens before we go on the air.

As of episode time there STILL isn't a solid plan for this week's Smackdown! Why is this happening? We'll discuss the apparent issues behind the lack of a solid plan. Also this week we will discuss: Road Dogg quits TwitterLegitimate trained wrestlers donate to a yarderNJPW star to film live action animeVeteran British star coming to NXT UKMLW has a futureThunder Rosa's futureThe other match announced for TriplemaniaMore about the Marvel/AAA agreement These and other stories as the develop over the course of the day. Listen to Steve and Lee tonight!

Note: We WILL go over our normal 2 hour time, you will need to be called in before 10 PM Eastern to listen to the show in its entirety live. The three of us didn't believe this was going to happen. We believed if ANYONE could beat cancer, it would be our friend, Tracy Smothers. Last weekend it looked like he had turned the corner, not easily, but he had turned it. Suddenly, Wednesday we got the news that Tracy didn't make it, cancer won the battle. The thing is, it won the battle, but not the war. Tracy didn't give up, despite the pain and illness chemo causes. He fought through having another surgery designed to strengthen his body for more chemo. He had even posted on Facebook before cancer hit Tracy in such a way even he couldn't get back up from it. Cancer may have taken Tracy's body, but it never took his spirit. Tonight Sean, Steve & Katie, along with our friend Joel Gertner from ECW will remember our good friend Tracy Smothers. We have pulled interviews he did on our show, including his last interview, which was a catharsis of sorts, as Tracy mends bridges he had taken a torch to. We have also included the morning show interview Tracy did with Sean and me to promote Wrestle Wars. This will be difficult, but we will get through it, together. Should we have time, we will talk about some major breaking news concerning AAA's Triplemania, which is an exclusive to ERN, thanks to our friend Hugo Savinovich, the latest hilarity posted by Lionel Green, AKA Lio Rush, and believe us, it's hilarious. We'll also discuss the latest move by Court Bauer and MLW, Hell In A Cell, AEW Dynamite, NXT and more. Please join us as we celebrate the life of a dear friend and a brave warrior.

This has been a loaded week in the wrestling business. Saturday, a tragedy occured in Mexico when Luis Angel Salazar, known as Principe Aero, a masked luchador, suddenly died in the ring. In happier news, the NWA crowned a new Television Champion, United Wrestling Network announced the brackets for their championship tournament and it is loaded with well known names. There was an AEW star who was pulled from last night's Dynamite. We will tell you who it was and why they were pulled, although we're actually pretty sure you can figure that out based on other reports we have done. The Netflix series GLOW was suddenly cancelled due to COVID-19 but before it ended there was some serious discussion among the actors of color on the show concerning their characters and we will talk about that. An old friend of Steve's just made a partnership deal with his wrestling promotion. Monday and Tuesday provided go home shows for both RAW and Impact, with Bound For Glory being this Saturday and Hell In A Cell being this Sunday. In addition, The Good Brothers had a show that followed Impact which included an appearance by a good friend of ours. The G1 Climax finished this week so we'll talk about that as well. We also have a special birthday wish for a dear friend of ours. Katie, Steve and Sean have a loaded evening planned for you, you don't want to miss it.

For several weeks we talked about the Game Changer Wrestling series of events known as The Collective. Since then at least three of the wrestlers has tested positive for COVID 19. We'll talk about the reports, who has tested positive and what GCW is saying about the situation. The strange case of Joseph Mehan, AKA Joey Ryan, just gets stranger by the day. We'll talk about the latest lawsuit brought by the sleeze invoking performer. In New Japan, the A Block of the G1 Climax ended last night with a turn as shocking as EVIL leaving Los Ingornobles De Japon to join Bullet Club. B Block wraps up this weekend and we will preview the matches and discuss who we want to see in the final. Why was Seth Rollins moved to SmackDown? we have the answer to that. What is Goldberg's contract status? We have the answer to that too. We don't have all the answers, but we have quite a few, and we'll give those to you this week.

We've talked over the last several months about the insanity that has surrounded the wrestling business since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. As things change and fans, to a limited extent, are allowed back into events, it seems the idea is becoming, at least among the independents, who can be the most over the top. This past weekend in Indianapolis, The Collective, a group of events happened, many of them originated under the GCW banner. There were some controversial situations that occured during the event, two of which involved brothers who have a well known name. One of the incidents even made legendary wrestler/manager "Dirty" Dutch Mantell sit up and take notice. Speaking of controversy, it seems Dylan "Lars Sullivan" Miley can't seem to stay away from it. The current SmackDown star, who returned last week after a long hiatus due to videos being leaked when some disparaging internet postings were revealed seems to have done it again, this time with someone who was involved in his rehabilitation efforts.Is Adeel "Mustafa Ali" Alam being buried again after having been revealed the week before as the leader of Retribution? Did Mercedes Martinez escape being saddled with a bad gimmick name by being promoted? What about Mia Yim and her name? And what were those deleted tweets from Andrade and Charlotte Flair? Did you get in the Thunderdome? Well you might STILL be in it, even when you actually aren't. Meanwhile, an independent promotion in Alabama is being forced to leave for what appears to be some very poor reasons. WWE and AEW both have their eye on some talent they'd like to possibly add to their rosters. Aron Stevens talks about taking over booking for Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. John Cena has been keeping busy with a new wife and a new endorsement deal. Katie, Steve and Sean will discuss these stories and even more tonight.

Seven years ago, when the idea of broadcasting on the internet was in its infancy, Gabe Hubbard came up with the idea of interviewing professional wrestlers live on a website. With help from people he became friends with on social media, also an emerging format, he created a show he called Pro Wrestling Roundtable. Gabe never felt comfortable with the idea of being "the voice" of the show, so he recruited his brother Sean, who wrestled, managed and announced under the name of Sadistic Sean David to be the first voice of the show. Gabe knew he needed a strong cohost who also had a history in the business so he contacted someone he worked with in a central Illinois promotion, Referee and sometime promoter Steve Cain, known as "The Dean Of Wrestling Referees" who had many years of experience in both radio and televsion. The show had a variety of people in the third spot, but eventually a fan and regular caller to the show, Katie Mason, made such an impression that she was asked to permanently take the third spot. She refers to herself as "Khaotic Katie", "The Fan's Perspective" and "The reason why this show will NEVER be a bag of d****". She provides a great counterbalance to not just Sean and Steve, but to our guests. She has no fear of not only getting between Sean and Steve but also speaking her mind to even our most famous guests, as her epic conversation with the late Joe "Road Warrior Animal" Laurainitis showed. Scheduled to join us tonight (Subject to change) are, ECW stars Bill Alfonso & Tommy Cairo, Memphis legend "Superstar" Bill Dundee, GLOW girls April "Royal Hawaiian" Hom, Jeanne "Hollywood" Basone, Annette "Jungle Woman" Maroquin, Cheryl "Lightning" Rusa, Kuiopo Little Feather and possibly some surprises. Join us as we celebrate our love of professional wrestling and the people who make it happen.

Note: Lee is off this week, therefore this week's show will only be a 30 minute show. There most likely will not be a show next week. We have talked about Vince Mc Mahon and his anger about the WWE performers making money on third party sites such as Twitch and Cameo. Well news came out today regarding Vince's next move and there was a backlash among fans, who knows what will happen with the boys and girls themselves. Vince apparently has also reset the tenative location for next year's WrestleMania. Will it happen? We'll have to see. We'll also be talking about G-1, Bloodsport and any further GCW information. The G1 standings, Gatoh Move ChocoPro and many more items.

Rampage Productions Proudly Presents An Evolution Radio Network EXCLUSIVE - One of the LONGEST running Professional Wrestling related podcasts on ALL of the interwebs...7 Years STRONG! Rampage Rants Thursday Night Turmoil LIVE & EXCLUISIVLEY LIVE on Blog Talk Radio with your hosts "Sadistic" Sean David, "The Dean of Wrestling" Steve Cain, & "Khaotic" Katie Mason! TONIGHT on Rampage Rants TNT LIVE in the ER: So we are off a pay per view, headed to ANOTHER pay per view, wrestlers are switching brands, and yet WWE is going to hold a DRAFT? We'll discuss why this is ANOTHER stupid Vince idea. Speaking of Vince, former WWE star Ryback, who has made his feelings about Vince and WWE quite clear has made another statement regarding when he thinks WWE will "possibly" become worth watching again. In the "Katie's Gonna Love This" department, someone whom she has regularly expressed her distaste for appears to be leaving the promotion they're working for. Eric Bischoff has responded to Dominick Dijack/Dijakovic/T-Bar/Whatever. Joey Ryan has returned, not to the wrestling ring, but to the courtroom. Is Triple H right or wrong to keep NXT on Wednesday? He has his opinion, we may have ours. What's it REALLY like to actually get in the Thunderdome. LIVE From The Dean's Den cohost Lee Walker described it last Friday and we're going to play it for those of you who may have missed it. It's VERY interesting. We'll also talk about the AEW video game, Miro talked about a lot of things recently, Batista had ANOTHER theme planned, and many more items. In what Sean is calling a RAMPAGE RANT you have to hear to believe he will be discussing what happens when you let marks influence decisions with titles and within promotions and why this is everything wrong with the wrestling busines in the year 2020 and MORE! All of this and so much more TONIGHT LIVE!

When we were gatting ready to celebrate our first anniversary we were trying to think of who we could bring on that would create that buzz, that indication that these guys are legit. As we talked about the various guests we had already had, none of them seemed to gives us that feeling that this is the one. Eventually one name seemed to keep coming up in discussion, the biggest name we could think of. We needed Animal! The idea was easy enough, now the question was how do we execute it? Thankfully Steve knew Joe from their days in the Chicago based promotion Workd Wrestling Zone. It also helped that they were friends on Facebook too. So Steve sent Joe a message and asked if he would be willing to do a favor for an old friend. Within twenty minutes he got a yes from the tag team legend and the annual event known as Anniversary was born. It's fitting that we play this tribute on the day Clash Of Champions occurs as The Road Warriors were involved in the very first Clash, which was programmed as a free TV event to rival the then WWF and WrestleMania. Joe was involved in seven of the twenty five Clash events. Joe, we thank you for your time and most importantly your friendship. You will be missed.

Rampage Productions Proudly Presents: An Evolution Radio Network EXCLUSIVE - One of ot the LONGEST running Professional Wrestling Podcasts on ALL of the Interwebs...7 Years STRONG... Wrestling Authority Radio with your hosts "Sadistic" Sean David, "Khaotic" Katie Mason, & "The Dean of Wrestling" Steve Cain! TONIGHT on a very SPECIAL Edition of W.A.R. LIVE on The Evolution Radio Network & EXCLUSIVLEY LIVE on Blog Talk Radio: Sean & Steve take a DEEP dive into the very 1st event that Sean promoted on his own and under the guidance of Ed Chuman from September 26th 2009 in Ashton IL. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, Sean always answered a Professional Wrestler. From an early age our own Sean David was HOOKED on wrestling. Getting his chance to get in the business at the young age of 12 in April of 2002 in LaSalle IL our own Sean David showed his dedication to the business to the point in October of 2003 he was allowed to begin his training. In Janauary of 2007 in Sterling IL Sean made his Professional Wrestling Debut. A few months later in March of 2007 Sean debuted in front of his family, friends, and local area proving that hard work does pay off. In April of 2008 Sean was given his first chance to get his feet wet in booking at the age of 17. In the summer of 2009 getting ready to have his ACL relenthened for the thrid time due to Ceebral Palsy, Sean was presented with an opportunity... an opprtunity to begin his own promotion and in September of 2009 the Rebellious Wrestling Federation hosted it's first event in Ashton IL (the hometown of Sean at the time). Under the guidance of NWA Midwest President Ed Chuman, Sean was given all the tools he needed for success. The card featured talent from all over the Midwest and would include CURRENT WWE NXT Star Kyle O'Reilly. The efforts of Sean and the RWF roster did not go in vain as fans showed great apprecation. Tonight we will discuss it live!

While there have been some notable additions to Josh Barnett's Bloodsport and some matches have been announced, there has been one major change that could affect an entire bracket. In addition we will also talk about: CHOCOPRO - The countdown is on to Sunday's 50th episode with the epic battle between Team ChocoPro and Team AEW. WARRIOR WRESTLING - The Chicago based promotion is hosting the second half of its Stadium Series events this weekend, although there will have to be a change in one match. KEN SHAMROCK - The next addition to the Impact Wrestling Hall Of fame will have a speech for his induction, and you won't believe who it is. GOODBYE THUNDERDOME? - Rumor is WWE is going to abandon its Thunderdome set at the Amway Center in Orlando. We'll talk about the potential last date as well as the reason behind leaving the big building. WHO IS THE NXT MYSTERY MAN? - The video that was on NXT this week with the distorted voice may have been figured out. COVID-19 - The pandemic has been affecting the business since it first hit, now it's causing matches to be changed right before TV. Steve & Lee will discuss these and many other items this week.

This is a show we did not think we would be doing. We honestly felt whomever inherited this show from us would be doing it. Sadly that was not to be. Early yesterday morning the calls started coming through that Joe Laurinaitis, Road Warrior Animal, had passed away. Steve made a quick call to our friend, Cauliflower Alley Club president B. Brian Blair, who sadly confirmed the news. Steve quickly started making the calls he has made numerous times over the years. Tonight, we will remember our friend with stories about our times with Joe. Also scheduled to join us live or prerecoreded will be (subject to changes beyond our control) B. Brian Blair Bill Apter Del Wilkes Bill Alfonso Fred Ottman Later on we will talk about the Go Home edition of RAW, this week's AEW, a huge COVID-19 outbreak within all the major North American companies and more. Although this is a sad occaision we will stilltry to entertain you as best as we possibly can.

BUY MY MERCH! https://www.cafepress.com/livefromthedeansden This week Lee Walker from http://sportskeeda.com will be joining me again. SPOILER ALERT - Word has leaked out about a former WWE champion rejoining the company. SECOND SPOILER ALERT - Another UFC star is hinting at breaking into the wrestling business, but not how you might think. MICKIE JAMES - If you were confused about the ending to her match Monday Night with Asuka, so were we. Well the former Women's Champion revealed information about what happened. GCW BLOODSPORT - The Josh Barnette produced event has announced more participants, one of whom we're not sure their main bosses are really going to approve of their participation GCW FOR THE CULTURE - The newest match for the showcase for wrestlers of color has been announced, and it's big for multiple reasons. NJPW G1 CLIMAX - The tournament begins Saturday and we'll break down the matches along with discussing the B Block competitors. JON MOXLEY- Not only is he AEW champion, he is also the IWGP United States Champion. Is he going to defend his title before or after the G1? We'll cover these and many other stories in this week's edition.

"Creative has nothing for you". Those words have been spoken to many WWE talents, usually right before they have been cut. This time, it seems that someone currently in a major storyline, someone they just brought in. Ryan "Ryback" Reeves is getting ready to go to war with WWE over the rights to his name. It looks like it will only be a Viking "Raider" for an extended period due to a serious injury. here's a new NXT announcer, at least for one year. Tonight marks the debut event for one of our favorite guests. Another on of a legend has signed a major contract. In the "make sure you know your belt maker" a promotion in Illinois is probably regretting going to an apparently cut rate belt maker as a very glaring item showed up on their brand new title. In addition to these things we will talk RAW and Dynamite and whatever other news might happen while we're on the air.

Tonight Sportskeeda's Lee Walker joins Steve in The Den and the converstaion should be VERY interesting: NXT UK - WWE's British roster plans to go REALLY old school on their next big idea. JOSH BARNETTE'S BLOODSPORT - The "inspiration" for RAW Underground (Others call it ouright theft) which was cancelled for WrestleMania week due to COVID-19 has been rescheduled and now the second talent has been announced for the knockout or submission only event. WARRIOR WRESTLING - The Chicago based promotion is running a two night event which may mark the return of currently one of the most controversial people in wrestling. NJPW - Due to injury, the IWGP Jr Tag Team Title was vacated and new champions were crowned. In addition, the blocks for the G1 Tournament have been announced, and there are some surprise names among the participants. TONY KHAN - The AEW owner talks about his talent being on third party social media sites. GCW - Joey Janela's group, in addition to Bloodsport, is announcing lineups for other rescheduled WrestleMania week shows. We will discuss these and other wrestling stories as time allows.

Tonight we will be joined by our friend Lee Walker of Sportskeeda.com and possibly some other Sportskeeda writers as the story we are going to highlight was originally reported there. Late last week WWE Chairman Vince McMahon issued an edict regarding WWE talent using "outside" social media. Many of you may follow "Up Up Down Down", AJ Styles' gaming channel and many others. We'll talk about what may have sparked Vince's ire and the reaction from the locker room. Then we have to talk about Marty Jannetty. We don't want to, but we have to. A few weeks ago Marty made a "confession" on Facebook that had wrestling media, including us, Well now he's "explained" about his "confession" and I think we're either just as confused and/or disgusted as we were before, if not more so. AEW brought a big surprise last night with the addition of Miroslav Barnyashev, AKA Miro. This was in addition to Tay Conti's first official match as a full member of the AEW roster. NXT crowned a new champion and MLW has made a major announcement concerning its next TV move. Did you know there's wrestling on Apple TV? Well there is, and we have the information. We'll also talk about the tryout NWA Women's World Champion Thunder Rosa turned down Tonight will be very interesting and you don't want to miss it or you'll regret it.

Here's what I'm going to be talking about tonight: JIM CORNETTE - In a strange turn of events, AEW's biggest critic DEFENDS the company he likes to make fun of. JORDYNNE GRACE - Don't feel sorry for the former Knockouts Champion, she has some good things going on, despite the pandemic and the title loss. GATOH MOVE CHOCO PRO - The Japanese company owned and operated by AEW's Emi Sakura made a bold move this week. REY MYSTERIO - The lucha legend & WWE star adds a new item to his resume RING OF HONOR - Despite not having done anything in months the former number 3 promotion is making a move of sorts. EDINBURGH - A popular spot closed down, it's history and connection to wrestling make its demise all the sadder. NJPW - NJPW Strong unveils its latest episode with a face wrestling fans haven't seen in a long time. CMLL - The "other" lucha promotion in Mexico makes its return tonight in an unusual (for them) format. ALL OUT - I will talk about my ideas as to what will happen on the big Saturday night PPV. All this news plus more as time allows.

It's been a strange year so far, and we still have four months left to go. Wrestlers, announcers, interviewers, all sides of the wrestling business have been affected by COVID-19. Saturday will be AEW's annual big show, ALL OUT. This year, however, rather than filling up the Sears Center in the Chicago suburbs the event will be held in a limited seating Daily's Place. WWE held SummerSlam in front of a bank of video monitors inside the Amway Center in Orlando. Tonight we'll go over Payback, RAW after Payback, NXT and the ironman match for the vacant NXT title as well as AEW's ALL OUT go home show. We'll also talk about who has left WWE, who has added to AEW, who is reporting to WWE developmental. We'll also use a bit of Jim Cornette talking about the late "Bullet" Bob Armstrong. It should be a good night.

For my listening audience that has never heard my story, I grew up in the days of the territories. My area was run by Verne Gagne and the AWA. It was all I really knew because it was the only wrestling on TV. I knew OF the then WWWF & NWA because of Stu Sacks and my friend Bill Apter, but to me, these were minor league organizations. In 1980 my perspective on wrestling was changed when my family was finally able to get cable TV and one Saturday night shortly before I got home from work my Dad happened to tune to WTBS and accidentally found a little show called Georgia Championship Wrestling. One of the big heroes of the territory was a man known as "The fighting firefighter from Marietta, Georgia". He went under the name of Bob Armstrong and before long I became a fan of his. His homespun, gosh darn Southern charm along with a legitimate toughness due to his background made him relatable to the average viewer watching at home. Tonight I'll talk about watching Bob and his family and the good old days of territroy "rasslin".

Tonight, due to the situations concerning the NBA Playoffs, which apparently will continue after last night, we come on after AEW Dynamite. We will spend the first part of the evening talking about that. We will talk more about the Sonya DeVille situation, including why the stipulation was changed, and it's not completely what you think, although that is a consideration. And if you think Sonya's issues have been solved since the arrest of the intruder, you'd be quite wrong. Mickie James returned a few weeks ago to WWE, but is her booking the result of a feud with husband Nick Aldis? That's his conclusion and we'll discuss that as well. The "Thunderdome" might be generating more problems than it is creating a variation of the "live experience". One incident has gained notoriety, but there are other incidents that have flown under the radar of many of the wrestling media. While NXT suffered a setback with new champion Karrion Kross having to relinqish the belt due to his in match shoulder seperation, it brought two older stars back to the forefront and the return of one of the NXT mainstays has added an excitement to next week's main event. There's a major shakeup brewing in Japan's women's wrestling scene and if we have time we will cover that too.

We are just an hour away from the last event of a busy wrestling weekend. Yesterday was a delayed (Thank you NBA) AEW Dynamite along with NXT TakeOver XXX. We will go over the results along with our highlights and lowlights. AEW, despite the delay presented a huge show with several surprises, including a title change and a familiar face to ERN listeners suddenly made an appearance. NXT, as always, produced a quality product and carried off a big main event that, after news that we have learned about the match, makes it look even bigger. Finally, we will look at SummerSlam itself. There are six title matches and two grudge matches, with the nature of one of the grudge matches possibly being shaped by real life events. We'll look at them and make our predictions. Get ready for the BETTER pre show.

Rampage Productions Proudly Presents: An Evoution Radio Network EXCLSUIVE Rampage Rants Saturday Night Slaughter - PRELUDE to The Saturday Night Wars! TONIGHT we will discuss WWE NXT & AEW Dynamite which are both TONIGHT! If time allows we will also discuss Summer Slam which will be LIVE on PPV TOMORROW Night! So sit back and join your hosts "The Dean of Wrestling" Steve Cain & "Sadistic" Sean David for a insiders look into TONIGHTS events!

This week the WWE experiment known as Thunderdome made it's debut. I will talk about the look of the dome on TV and what we could expect this weekend for SummerSlam and TV from here on out. Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) the Joey Janela run promotion hosts its next event Saturday and I will talk about the upcoming matches which has some unusual matchups happening. Speaking of unusual matchups, This week's NJPW Strong, in addition to having the New Japan Cup 2020 USA finals has some interesting matches with people that are new to the company and a surprise return to the company, especially because it's taking place on US soil. In addition I will talk about some on demand shows recently removed from WWE Network and any news that happens before I go live.

This week we will start out discussing what is known as "stan" culture. Last Sunday, an obviously disturbed person who was part of this culture broke into the home of WWE star Daria Berenato, known to wrestling fans as Sonya DeVille. The list of items he had with him are very frightening. Then we got word that a former WWE star and son of a hall of famer may have been involved in criminal activity and as a result may suffer a very substantial penalty. A major spoiler has broken regarding the upcoming Ring Of Honor taping as someone who you may have recently seen on TV is in the city where taping is happening. Will there be ANOTHER husband and wife couple in AEW? A prominent WWE personality has announced her impending departure from the company. Last Friday on SmackDown, a character that people saw on TNA/Impact debuted. Does this mean ANOTHER former TNA/Impact character will be showing up at some point? Speaking of Impact, Jim Cornette recently got a question concerning the extracirricular activites of its owner. Hmmm... While WWE announces its new virtual fan concept, AEW is announcing the opposite, the return of actual fans. We'll compare the two approaches and talk about what may or may not be "best for business". Speaking of business, WWE Network has removed some on demand shows very quietly. We'll tell you who the subject of the shows is and why they were removed. Katie, Steve & Sean will relay all of these stories to you and more, tonight.

A few weeks ago I did a show that was supposed to talk about the resurgance of the Japanese wrestling scene in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to technical difficulties a full episode did not make air. This is my attempt to rectify that situation. Since that episode NJPW has really kicked up their event schedule, but they aren't sticking to Japan. The NJPW Los Angeles dojo is now creating original content and I will talk about that tonight as some interesting people are showing up at the US tapings. In addition to NJPW and Stardom there are some other independent promotions in Japan that are also running that I will discuss. Time permitting I will talk about some of the bigger names that are not only on major rosters but are also contracted to other organizations.

On Sunday afternoon a voice that the public never really heard until later in his life was silenced. For years, Mississippi born James Harris played what would today be regarded as a stereotype, an African cannibalistic savage who, while he intimidated his opponents and the fans, didn't always seem to understand the rules of the sport he was competing in. While James was a soft spoken, gentle man who loved to laugh and sing, his alter ego, Kamala The Ugandan Savage, was an evil,silent brute who would demolish anyone who got in his way. We'll begin this evening by remembering James, including commentary from Jerry Lawler about the creation of the character and George "The Animal" Steele talking about getting Kamala heat. WWE Network has added several new promotions to their video vault that will begin airing this weekend. NXT saw the return of someone many people thought might not be coming back due to rumors surrounding him. Meanwhile, AEW saw a big star on the independent scene debut along with a former WWE talent, but not someone you might have expected. While New Japan Pro Wrestling has been making its slow climb back form COVID-19, a quirky little company has developed a cult following and is starting to draw some attention oustide of Japan. Steve recently saw a live video from the group and he will tell us about it. Speaking of New Japan, their US based show is bringing some top talent of their own, including someone many people thought had given up the business. MLW just signed a new distribution deal, Lana posted personal details about her and Miro on Instatgram and apparently confirming a story about WrestleMania in San Diego. We'll discuss these and many other stories, including our alternate plans for those AEW weeks tonight.

TONIGHT on Rampage Rants LIVE: Some of the details of this have probably never been heard up until now. I assure you this will be worth tuning in for.... this was the VERY 1st event I promoted on my own under the guidance of NWA Midwest President Ed Chuman and my old friend Jon Kmetz and a few others. I was only 18 years of age at the time with about 6 years of being in and around the business at that time. Some of the talent featured on the poster did not end up making the event for various different reasons which i will discuss LIVE... Rebellious Wrestling Federation & Myself Proudly Presented: RWF Arisen 2009 Saturday Night, September 26th, 2009 Live From The Mills & Petrie Memorial Building in Ashton Illinois RWF Arisen 2009 Featured: Danny McKay Vs. Nick Cutler. The Hooligans (Devin & Mason Cutter) Vs. Counter Culture (Matt Cage & Neil Diamond Cutter). 3 Way Dance: The Canadian Cougar Vs. Aaron Orion Vs. Bobby Valentino. The Mississippi Madman Vs. Bucky Collins W/ "The Dodgeball Superstar" Tyler Priegel. Mason Beck vs. Kris Korvis. Kyle O'Reilly Vs. Tony Kozina ***Originally Dingo was going to be a part of this match, however due to a broken jaw from an event prior to this he was unable to make the event*** NWA Midwest Heavyweight Championship Match: (Champion) Silas Young Vs. 1/2 of The NWA Midwest & NWA World Tag Team Champions Rasche Brown. The RWF & NWA Midwest Debut of "The Almighty" Sheik. Ring Announcer Jeff Hanula. Official PJ Drummond. RWF Arisen 2009 was sanctioned and under the supervision of The National Wrestling Alliance & NWA Midwest. I will also be discussing other talent that was originally slated for this night and why some of the those we originally planned for were not on the event. I will be discussing more things RWF as time allows.

Tonight I'm going to cover some items we didn't get to cover Thursday along with some fresh items. Someone who was named in the Speaking Out movement was none too happy about it. A WWE employee whom we interviewed a few years back has introduced a motivational website and a line of products to go with it. Speaking of WWE, did last week's ending, along with a scene in the Extreme Rules "match" between Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman signal a long rumored change for a rather popular performer? New Japan has been busy on both sides of the Pacific with events happening in Korakuen Hall and Los Angeles. We'll discuss the Summer Struggle Tour in Japan and the New Japan Cup USA tournament which will give the winner an eventual shot at IWGP US Champion Jon Moxley. The daughter of a legend will be making her AEW debut this week along with an MLW star who has also shared our airwaves. All these stories an more on this week's episode.

A few days ago, former Midnight Rocker Marty Jannetty made a very sensational claim regarding an alleged incident from his youth. We will examine the claims that have been made along with the fallout from the claims. Another sensational claim has also come out about a current star and the source is someone we know very well. Have you noticed Seth Rollins "cult" is a little short? So have we. We may have somewhat of an answer as to what has happened to that person. While we are watching Impact Wrestling we haven't ever actually seen viewership numbers - until now. We will talk ratings for all the current wresting shows on the air. There is still fallout from the Speaking Out movement. One person was not happy to be exposed and another group is taking steps to try and make sure there is never a repeat. Two former guests of ours have some good things going for them, one got signed by someone and the other started a product line based on a previous name. We'll discuss the "new" concept RAW introduced this week, along with where they stole it from, the AEW Women's Tag Team Tournament and the surprises that happened on night 1. Also, Orange Cassidy SPEAKS! We'll talk all the shows and any other news that happened this week. Join Katie, Steve and Sean TONIGHT.

Earlier this week we were hit with the devestating news that our friend GLOW Girl Sally The Farmers Daughter lost her battle with colon, kidney, and liver cancer at the young age of 55. Sally (Becky) had just been diagnosed in October and we knew she didn't have long, but we didnt ever imagine it'd be this quick. Sally first made her debut in GLOW in 1986 in the first season of GLOW. Sally was also in Season 3 of GLOW. Sally who had much success in the ring had just as much out of the ring with a career in Hollywood starring on Married With Children, Mad TV, Renegade, & Pacific Blue. Sally was also featured in the 1991 music video for Van Halens song "Poundcake". We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our fellow GLOW Sister. TONIGHT on Wrestling Authority Radio LIVE on The Evolution Radio Network & EXCLUSIVLEY Live on Blog Talk Radio we CELEBRATE The Life of Sally The Farmers Daugther along with her fellow GLOW Sisters Thunderbolt, Ligthening, Little Feather, Chainsaw, Royal Hawiian, Daisy, Hollywood, & Possily More. Dont miss this heartwarming tribute to our sweet country girl Sally! Thursday, July 30th 2020 from 5-7pm pst, 6-8pm mst, 7-9 pm cst, 8-10pm est. We will spend this time sharing stories & memories of Beckie while on GLOW! If you want to call in and share a personal story or memory call in number: 213 943-3719. There is also a Memorial Fund on Hollywood’s page. If you would like to donate to help the family with costs please visit her page and share to your page as well. Join your hosts "Sadistic" Sean David, "The Dean of Wrestling" Steve Cain, & "Khaotic" Katie along with their guests for this celebration of life for an ORIGINAL GLOW GIRL in Sally The Farmers Daugther. IF time allows we will discuss other current events in the world of professional wrestling. We invite you to tune in live for a GREAT night of listening for your pleasure. Do NOT miss it!

For quite a while Impact Wrestling, despite having some top tier talent has been considered the "weak sister" of the wrestling business, despite being the only option to WWE with an actual TV deal. However, multiple channel changes and numerous talent defections made the future of the alternative promotion doubtful, especially once All Elite Wrestling started running. Once the coronavirus hit and basically shut down the industry, and in the case of WWE, forced them to make cuts that they probably would not have made in the current business environment, it became open season. AEW had already gotten the team they wanted when they signed FTR. They also picked up former NXT star Tino Sabbatelli, a guy who, if he wouldn't have gotten injured so much, including at least one concussion, probably would have been on the main roster. This still left a wealth of talent looking for a place to go. Well when you not only own a wrestling promotion, but also your own network where the ad revenue gives you a bigger budget to work with. What do you do? You go on a buying spree, especially when there are guys who are recognized stars, a few of whom had worked under one or more of the banners Impact had used. This week I'll examine the people Impact brought on board, their visual message to Vince McMahon and some other news in the wrestling world. This should be a good show

This morning on Pat McAfee's show, fomer NXT champion Adam Cole blew up at the former NFL player turned TV host and sometimes WWE preshow contributor. There is a question whether this was a work or a shoot. If we can get the audio we will play it and let you judge for yourself. This past weekend and week have been pretty big for wrestling, unless you are Vince McMahon and WWE, in which case you might want to take a step back and analyze everything, especially when your former employees are starting to no longer fear you and are spilling everything. With several former WWE employees jumping to one company in particular, but a couple more have gone to the other competative company, even the giant in Samford has to be somewhat concerned. Speaking of joining companies, someone we've always been big fans of is trying to get on one of the top rosters in the company right now. We will tell you who it is and what company they want to join. Wrestling Figures has released a sneak preview of an upcoming figure and it's eerie. RAW just lost one of its top stars this week. AAA has announced its next move to try and get back on track even during the pandemic. We will discuss all these things and more, tonight.

While wrestling in front of live audiences in the US is still pretty much non existent, with WWE & AEW doing TV at set locations using talent to make noise Japan is starting to return to a somewhat normal stage. Yes they are now requiring masks for all audience members, but many have been wearing masks since the tsunami of 2011 so they have no issue with that. The seating has been changed with gaps between seating areas to observe social distancing. Even the current four person commentary team, which includes retired Japanese legend Jushin Thunder Liger are placed in two separate areas and separated on opposite ends of the tables they were at. This week I will look at the resurgence of the Japanese wrestling scene, from the Bushiroad owned New Japan and Stardom to the smaller promotions dotting the landscape. With a new reality new stories are being developed and new champions are emerging. I hope this week to provide you fans, especially those whose knowledge of wrestling is limited to WWE and AEW with a fresh perspective, something new to look at and consider watching more of.

Earlier today a major story concerning a name that means professional wrestling to many people broke via a usually unimpeachable source, especially considering his connection to the main person involved in the rumor. This afternoon a denial came from the person primarily involved with that name. Should a disabled person be allowed to train as a wrestler? This was the subject of a long Facebook post from the mother of someone who was supposed to be training at a facility featured this past Tuesday on IMPACT Wrestling's Slammiversary go home show. This is a subject that is near and dear to the heart of Sean, being a disabled person who was trained. We'll let him expound upon it with Steve chiming in having worked with disabled people in and out of the ring. Speaking of Slammiversary, Steve's pick for the surprise fourth entrant in the world title match is now out due to circumstances beyond his control. There may, however, be a real surprise entrant, someone who is flying completely under the radar. The name of the late Japanese wrestler Hanah Kimura has resurfaced, this time in a complaint against the Japanese broadcast regulators. Speaking of Japan, the scene there is starting to heat up, especially in New Japan where some major surprises happened over the weekend involving one wrestler and two factions. They also brought back live audiences for the first time and we'll talk about the effect on the action. We'll discuss Fight For The Fallen, RAW's ever dropping numbers and MORE, TONGHT.

The IWC, or Internet Wrestling Community, is a funny thing. There becomes a groupthink where once a few people think someone is being buried or overpushed the entire group posts that idea all over social media. This time the praise turned derision has fallen upon one Matthew Riddle. Tonight I'll discuss Riddle's progression from UFC to Evolve to WWE. I'll examine what may have turned the IWC against the "Original Bro" and is there a way to reverse that. If there's time I'll also discuss the absence of Bianca Belair, Angelo Dawkins adds to the "fam", Taz passing the ultimate torch to Brian Cage, the public burial or Ruby Riott and other stories as they happen.

Tonight we are bringing a special edition of Wrestling Authority Radio as we talk to someone it's taken a few years to get back on after her battery died in the middle of our interview. When we first met and had Mel Cervantes on, not only was she working on the independent circuit using the name Thunder Rosa she had just made her debut on what was our favorite wrestling show at the time, Lucha Underground as a masked queen of a tribe of animal masked wrestlers under the name Kobra Moon. She continued to tour as Thunder Rosa during Lucha Underground's run, but after the show was not able to get renewed she took the Kobra Moon character to the Jeannie Buss/David McClain WOW promotion. After a short run there Mel brought Thunder Rosa to the NWA. There she was teamed up in an alliance with former TNA star Marti Belle and former WWE star Melina Perez which helped her gain the NWA Women's Championship, beating Allisyn Kay at the Hard Times pay per view in January. She currently holds the title and like most promotions is waiting to be able to return to Atlanta to defend it. That doesn't mean Mel hasn't been busy. In addition to being wrestler, wife and mother, she is getting ready to change the face of the business, again. We will be talking to Mel about what motivated her to make this move and what her goals are for the future of her new upcoming venture. We are excited to have Mel on this evening and we hope you will enjoy her as well.

The fallout from the #SpeakingOut movement continues. More NXT UK roster members have been released and with no ability to travel not just in the UK but outside of it things don't look good for the formerly hot European brand. At the same time, we have encountered someone in the Midwest who has been trying to use sex to get bookings and we are putting that person on blast tonight. You can run, but you can't hide, especially not from us! Once we hopefully get back to the easier, though not always good, side of the news, we will discuss the situation with currently on the shelf WWE Women's star Ember Moon. The man known as EC3 has released another "cryptic" video, although if you listen to the wording he's pointing in one direction, and no, it's not at the screen on the entryway... YET, Steve thinks he knows who the "mystery opponent" is in the main event for Impact Wrestling's Slammaversary pay per view event in a few weeks. He'll tell you who and his reasoning behind his choice. There is already one confirmed signing, the question is where will they be used? If NXT UK folds will any of the roster be brought in? We know of at least one person they want to keep but will they be able to? Fyter Fest Part 1 aired last night and there was a couple of not so subtle pokes at WWE. We'll discuss the results, the shots at WWE and what to look forward to for Part 2. Where is Bianca BelAir? We know now and we also have the not so good news about a returned WWE star. All these things and more - TONIGHT.

Last week, several weeks ahead of plans, The Den returned amidst the then just starting #SpeakingOut trend. Myself and Lee Walker from Sportskeeda.com were literally reporting a story in progress as news was happening while we were live on the air. Tonight we return with more stories as we find them, including the major shakeup at Impact Wrestling. There are more witnesses coming forward to back up previously reported stories on Jim Cornette, including one ERN fans are VERY familiar with. More action on the WWE UK front is happening and I'm sure more will happen before we hit the air tonight. Join Lee Walker and myself as we continue to examine the repercussions of the #SpeakingOut movement as well as more positive COVID-19 tests and other news that happens.

Dear Wrestling, What the actual f***? While we were on last Thursday with revelations of past racist social media posts by Chad Lail you proceed to bring to our attention a story about Jim Cornette and his wife Stacey having sexual involvements, not entirely consensual, with young trainees. You made us quickly switch to covering that. We got off the air and thought that was going to be the end of it. Obviously you had other ideas. Within a few hours after we got off the air the hashtag #SpeakingOut started trending. How bad was it? You made Steve bring back LIVE From The Dean's Den several weeks earlier than he intended. It got awkward because more information was coming out while Steve and Lee Walker were trying to do the show. We finished up, thinking we were going to be done, but you had other ideas, didn't you? As the weekend and the next few days progressed you exposed many people, some of whom we regarded as heroes or even friends, as being predators. Now while you did show us the heroic survivors, it was the villians, some of whom we cheered as heroes, that you exposed. You forced us to face the enemy within, some of whom many of us shared a locker room with. You're broken, wrestling. We don't know if we can fix you over the next several years. What we are going to do is be honest about your flaws. We are going to name names. We are going to put people on blast tonight that we never thought we would. But, wrestling, you're not innocent in all of this and we're going to call you out too. Believe us, it's going to hurt you even more than it's going to hurt us, and it will hurt us badly. However, you need to hear this, and you need to fix this. We're going to try and help you fix it, but you need to listen, no matter how hard it is. Get ready, dear wrestling, the healing is going to come with pain, and tonight we're delivering the pain. Sincerely, ERN

NOTE: I was not planning to bring the show back this soon. However, I would be less than the journalist I have always considered myself to be if I did not start this VERY painful conversation. For those of you who are fans of the legendary Warren Zevon you recognize the lyrics I am using for the title tonight. For those who may not be, the second chorus says "Send lawyers, guns and money. The **** has hit the fan!". No statement can be truer than this, especially as relating to what has broken over the last 18-24 hours. For those of you who were listening to TNT On BTR Thursday, we started by discussing early racist and Islamophobic posts made by Chad "Jaxon Ryker" Lail. Before the night was over stories regarding sexual abuse by Jim & Stacey Cornette were burning up social media. Today, the dam started to break wide open as numerous wrestlers, including one we covered for over year, were being exposed as rapists/sexual assault perpetrators. Some of these charges include pedophilia and are particularly frighteningand uncomfortable to talk about. Tonight, myself and Lee Walker from Sportskeeda.com will only scratch the surface as I am sure by the time I go live there will be numerous additional allegations that will come out. We will discuss much more in terms of accused wrestlers and what the accusations are. Please note, this show is NOT for younger or more sensitive listeners as there will be VERY mature subject matter discussed.

Tonight we are going to be joined by some guests and discuss some fun subjects and some very controversial subjects. We are scheduled to be joined by representatives and participants from Denver based Primos Premier Pro Wrestling. Tomorrow night they will be hosting a unique event called BLACK WRESTLERS MATTER. We'll discuss not only the unique situation with the entire production, from backstage to in the ring, but why this event is being held tomorrow. Following that we will be discussing a very controversial situation, one that we covered in our special "Wrestling With Racism", the controversy surrounding Chad Lail, currently employed by WWE as Jaxon Ryker as part of The Forgotten Sons. We will be joined by Lee Walker from Sportskeeda who today uncovered some posts Lail made prior to being signed that could spell the end of his career. In other news we will talk about an Owen Hart documentary that is now in the works. The Street Profits are in trouble after the RAW episode that aired Monday. Who isn't at the Performance Center right now? We know. The line of the night on last night's Dynamite was delivered by a note. Well talk about all of these things and more - TONIGHT!

Two weeks ago we brought three legendary members of the ECW roster. We were hoping to have some good conversation and swapping stories. What we got was such great discussion that trancended the original concept that as we went from two hours into three, we agreed to bring this group back in two weeks as we already had last week booked. Tonight we continue our discussion basically where we left talking about properly promoting, but we are going to expand the conversation. We are going to talk about booking in terms of match psychology and finishes. Then we will also talk about refereeing and why it seems officials today lack the appearance of control in matches today. Joining us will be: Tommy CairoJim MollineauxBill Alfonso (Due to situations beyond his control Bill will be joining us in hour two. We appreciate him making himself available to us.)Possibly a surprise guest If you enjoyed Part 1 of our discussion you should really enjoy Part 2.

WARNING: There WILL be strong, sometimes outright offensive, language used in this broadcast. Racism has been a problem almost as old as time itself, but here in US it has probably played out more graphically than it has anywhere else in the world. In fact, since the 2008 Presidential campaign racists who usually just stayed quiet or only opened up in front of their closest friends felt emboldened to become loud because a Black man named Barack Obama DARED to run for, and win, a "White man's job". Then in 2016 Donald Trump went full bore, insulting every racial, ethnic and non Christian he could and somehow took over the White House. Since then, racists have openly shown themselves, from the deadly Charlottsville demonstration to the expression used to describe COVID-19. The largest group of victims, however, have been US Blacks. From having the police called for selling water, to getting gunned down in a Florida convenience store parking lot to last week's murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police, Blacks, especially Black men, have suffered more than almost every other group in the US. This situation has particularly hit our Black wrestlers. From being denied bookings because "We already have one Black guy" to being asked to portray stereotype characters to even at times being denied title runs, the plight of Black wresters has not been the best over the years. Tonight we are going to be joined by several Black wrestlers and the wife of one of them to discuss the issues facing Black wrestlers from the back to the ring. Joining us will be: Barrington Hughes Montreal Washingtom Lennox Norris Jazmin "Acid Jaz" Jones William Huckaby Selina Huckaby Ant Bennett We are anticipating a LOT of HARD TALK, all we ask is that you have an open mind, heart and ears.

First, we would like to offer a HUGE thank you to our friend April "Royal Hawaiian" Hom who came up with the concept for tonight's show. Two weeks ago the country of Japan as well as the wrestling world was set on its collective ear when Hana Kimura, a popular wrestler with Japan's Stardom promotion who also starred in the Japanese Netflix reality show Terrace House commited suicide as a result of cyberbullying. She was only 22 years old. In the aftermath of her death both parties in Japan's Diet legislature are hard at work crafting an anti cyberbullying bill to try and stop these tragedies from happening again. This really hit one of April's good friends, the head of the Minnesota Wrestling Hall Of Fame, Carol Castle. Carol's son, a firefighter, committed suicide. Now Carol already had a suicide prevention program aimed at first responders, but the Hana Kimura case got her to realize wrestlers go through depression and even bullying. Through the Minnesota Wrestling Hall Of Fame,https://minnesotawrestlinghalloffame.com/wrestling-for-life/ she had created the Life Coin program. Carol will explain what the Life Coin program is and how it can help potentially save someone's life. We will also welcome back Cheryl "Lightning" Rusa and for their first appearances with us, Camen Wickert, who under the name Envy was one half of Soul Patrol and also appeared on POWW as Lady Soul & Essence. We were supposed be joined by Ku'uipo Siler, who was Little Feather on GLOW, whose father committed suicide, but as of now she is headed to the hospital for the birth of her first grandchild. Congratulations. We will try to make sure we add some light moments but we want to make sure this very important subject is not only addressed, but if anyone needs any help, we urge you to call in.

It is very rare to be able to talk to an ECW original. It's even more rare when by original, we mean when ECW meant EASTERN Championship Wrestling. Tonight, we have the honor of interviewing one of those originals, Tommy Cairo. Tommy, like many wrestlers, started out as a bodybuilder. We'll talk about his competitive bodybuilding days and when and how he transitioned from bodybuilder to wrestler. While Tommy is probably most well known to ECW fans for his programs with The Sandman, which also involved Sandman's wife Lori Fullington he also worked quite a bit in Japan, including the almost mythical wrestling-shootfight promotion UWFI. We also have several surprise guests who will be making appearances during the evening. Steve, Katie and Sean are honored to have this wrestling icon joining us and we hope you will enjoy him.

Friday night, Stardom wrestler and Netflix star Hana Kimura took her own life because of cyberbullying. Today, video from another "podcaster" making some DISGUSTING comments about another female wrestling star went viral, and he is now trying to paint HIMSELF as the "victim" because he is getting DESTROYED on social media by fans and wrestlers alike. Tonight, Steve & Sean are calling for an END to cyberbullying, no matter the fame of the person.

This has been another horrible week in our business. Sunday afternoon reports surfaced that Cryme Time member Shad Gaspard was missing after a swimming mishap where he was carried by an undertow into the Pacific Ocean. On Monday women's wrestling legend Olga Martinez passed away. Tuesday night we all watched an emotional season finale of Dark Side Of The Ring which covered the late Owen Hart that had us crying throughout the hour. Wednesday morning we got the news we all feared when Shad Gaspard's body washed ashore in Venice, Ca. Tonight we will pay tribute to Shad and talk about the situations involving the accident that took Owen from us. We'll also talk about ideas that we have been knocking around that we feel would be good subject matter for next season. Lest we forget because of all the other situations happening in the world and in wrestling AEW does have their Double Or Nothing pay per view scheduled for this Saturday night. Last night was their go home show which aired live and quite a few things happened that were not good, two of which could alter matches for Saturday, including the main event. A week ago former RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch relinquished the title when she announced she was pregnant. Well Jim Cornette said something about it which upset Becky's fiance Seth Rollins and he responded to Cornette. We will examine all these stories and many more - TONIGHT.

A few hours ago, the body of Shad Gaspard, one half of Cryme Time, washed ashore on Venice Beach. Four years ago, as part of our show, then called "PWR SLAM!" we had the privilege of interviewing Shad's partner JTG. Shad & JTG loved each other like they were biological brothers. While it is the last part of this episode it was the best part of this episode. Here is the writeup for that part of the episode. Godspeed, Shad. When people heard "Yo yo yo, yo,pop a 40 and check your Rollies" everyone knew what time it was, CRIME TIME! The tag team that claimed Brooklyn as home had a lot of fans, especially when they would come out into the arena with the contents of some poor unsuspecting wrestler's bag, selling everything to the fans.They actually were also rather successful, spending a total of four years under the WWE banner. Tonight, we talk to one half of that team, JTG. We will discuss his early years, his influences in the business, OVW, RAW, and his book, DAMN! Why Did I Write This Book?. This should be a lot of fun.

This week's "Dark Side Of The Ring" was difficult for all three of our hosts. Animal himself, Joe Lauranitis has been a guest on our show several times, while Sean and Steve both have personal history with The Road Warriors. We'll talk about our personal stories as well as talk about some of the things that were covered in the episode. Tonight we will also cover the Alberto Del Rio story, Another cut by was made by WWE, this time from a well known family in the business, We will, of course, talk about Money In The Bank and AEW's upcoming Double Or Nothing pay per view, but AAA has also made a return of sorts themselves. Jake Roberts recently discovered a device that he wishes he'd known about years earlier. Vince McMahon has a secret rule regarding tag team matches, and when we get done reading it, if you're half as confused as we are, then we're twice as confused as you. Katie, Steve & Sean will bring you all these stories and more, including a guest announcement that will be a surprise to Katie & Sean, tonight.

TONIGHT on Wrestling Authority Radio on The Evolution Radio Network on Blog Talk Radio LIVE! : We start the night off remembering our fallen in SUPREME. Then, Katie, Steve, & Sean will be joined by a man who may not be a household name like Hulk Hogan, but the influence he has had on the wrestling business has been just as impactful as The Hulkster. Of course we are talking about The ORIGINAL Wrestling Journalist & Historian JOHN AREZZI. Over the last 45 years John has heard, seen, and done everything in the wrestling business. Mostly noted for his Pro Wrestling Spotlight radio show in New York, John quickly became one of the biggest supporters and influencers of the wrestling business that the business has ever seen. John was one the man who put the ORIGINAL concept together for a Professional Wrestling Fan Fest Convention. As we saw on Tuesday Night's Dark Side of The Ring on the UWF, John had a hand in helping Herb Abrams get the word out there which as we later saw would turn out to be a disaster. We will hear from John on more of his side of the story on Herb Abrams & The UWF. John is now back with another legendary radio show of his own Pro Wrestling Spotlight Then & Now. We will discuss all of this & so much more tonight when Wrestling Authority Radio PROUDLY welcomes JOHN AREZZI to it's airwaves LIVE! We will also be joined by a man who is NO stranger to the Wrestling Authority Radio air-waves The PRESIDENT of The Cauliflower Alley Club B. BRIAN BLAIR. Brian will bring us some fun old stories we are sure, but we will also talk on a serious note on how this year's CAC has been postponed for the 1st time ever and the impact this is having on not only the CAC but he business as a whole. Then we will let Brian tell his side of the story on Herb Abrams & The UWF that didn't get told on Tuesday Night's episode of Dark Side of The Ring. Do NOT miss what PROMISES to be a FULL 2 HOUR HISTORY LESSON LIVE!

We weren't sure who, if anybody, was going to be willing to come on and join us during this time. After all, no one is running, so what do you do when you've got all this downtime. Well we found someone, our good friend, women's wrestling champion in numerous places, Kacee Carlisle. It has been quite a while since Kacee has been with us so we'll talk about her most recent matches, any good road stories, having a birthday and, a shocking subject for a wrestler, her favorite adult beverages. Depending on how long Kacee stays, and if she has been watching Dark Side Of The Ring we will talk about this week's episode. We have also reached out to one of our promoter friends who has had Dr. D. David Schultz on one of his cards and one of the wrestlers who appeared in that imfamous 20/20 episode. We'll also talk about any news that might be happening within the industry. Join us for fun, and yes, a few drinks- TONIGHT.

Sadly, we have lost more members of the wrestling community over the past week and we will pay tribute to them. The hottest news coming out of WWE this week are the Nia Jax buckle drop on Kairi Sane and what the Japanese wrestler was screaming before she was thrown. There is also information leaking out of Stamford regarding the basics of taping Money In The Bank. WWE has also issued a statement regarding 24/7 Champion Rob Gronkowski, who announced his return to the NFL yesterday. Triple H apparently isn't worth as much to the WWE as Bray Wyatt is if you base it on the cost of their respective special title belts are concerned. Impact Wrestling did tape Rebellion as a two night special and night 1 was aired this past Tuesday. Sami Callihan issued comments about working the event. Now 2/3 of the night 2 main event did not appear at the tapings so we'll talk about that, the results from night one and some additional notes about Impact, including news about what they did wih a promoter they were scheduled to work with. On the AEW front Cody Rhodes has filed for another trademark, Will the ratings cause the company to reconsider just going with their currently recorded material? The Broken One, Matt Hardy, helped a marriage propsal happen. The team formerly known as The Revival, who are loudly rumored to be AEW bound, put out a new video featuring their apparent new name, The Revolt. However, there seems to be an issue regarding the name as an independent team seems to have been using the name for a while. This week's Dark Side Of The Ring covered the still unsolved execution of Canadian star Dino Bravo. We'll examine the episode and what, if anything, we learned about Bravo and the contributing factors of his murder. Some huge rumors concerning former wrestler and broadcaster Jesse Ventura has been hitting social media. Several luchadors have found a way to make money AND be helpful. Get ready for fun.

We were all set to have some fun with the news regarding the decision regarding wrestling in Florida, but then we were hit with the news of the passing of WWE Hall Of Famer Howard "The Fink" Finkle. Howard started out as the Madison Square Garden ring announcer when the then WWF was merely a Northeastern US wrestling promotion. As Vince McMahon expanded the promotion and started to take it national, Howard became more of a national presence as the voice of the company with his familiar call of "Coming down the aisle" signifying the entrance of some of the biggest stars of the 80s & 90s, even into the 2000s. He even played an active role at times in various angles with the company. We have reached out to several former WWF/E stars to join us to talk about Howard. Greg Garard, Oscar of Men On A Mission will definitely be joining us and we hope to have some more. The announcement a few days ago by Florida governor Ron DeSantis that professional wrestling was being declared an "essentisl business" caused shock waves that reverberated around the country. It took 24 hours before word leaked out that money changed hands and the name McMahon was at the forefront of that money exchange, except the first name was NOT Vince. We'll go into the particulars of the situation in order to let you connect the dots. There have been consistent rumors over the years of Vince McMahon paying officials in various states to either get things he wanted or to keep his stars out of trouble. This week's episode of DARK SIDE OF THE RING and the companion AFTER DARK seemed to show this as the case of the death of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's girlfriend Nancy Argentino was examined. We will also talk about the mass releases and what the NXT roster was told. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride tonight.

The news has broken! I will cover it! What do YOU think? Call in and let me know!

Since last we spoke to you we have had EmptyMania and Dark Side Of The Ring tore apart Brawl For All. We will dissect it all with help, not live, but help, from Jim Cornette. However, the biggest statement of the week was a scene that was CUT from the finished Dark Side episode, and a good friend of the show is talked about. Jim also tore apart WrestleMania, or should we say EMPTYMania. We have selected Jim's critiques of the "biggest" matches, the Boneyard match and the Firefly FunHouse match, and indeed he has a lot to say about it. In other news, Ring Of Honor resigns a talent, and this might be unusual because of the circumstances. Arn Anderson shoots on when his relationship with Vince soured. AJ Styles didn't stay "dead" long, in fact, he has announced his latest stay at home project. Where is Rhea Ripley? It depends on who you listen to. We will discuss these and other issues. Please note, we will very likely go over our 2 hour time slot, so to hear everything live it will be best to be called in.

Normally this would be a week and weekend that wrestling fans live for. However, living in a COVID-19 age changed everything. The independent events that normally flood the landscape were all cancelled, and WrestleMania itself was all pretaped in an empty WWE Peformance Center. Matches had to be changed and producing matches that work better in a larger stadium probably posed more problems. I'll discuss all these variables and what the final matches are slated. AEW was visited, some say raided, by Georgia officials as they were taping TV. I have all the details, including a rumor about how the officials knew about it. In other items that might make air, Chris Jericho revealed where one of the ideas for the first Brodie Lee kit came from. Want to own a WrestleMania chair? You can get one without having spent the money for a ticket. I'll also have an announcement concerning future broadcasts tonight.

We are living in a weird time, and what better person to bring on during a weird time than the Warlord Of Weird himself, Sinn "Kizarny" Bodhi. This is the second time he has been with us, the first time since Katie has been a host. Bohdi first gained popularity on the independent scene back in the days of MySpace. In 2003 he was signed by then TNA wrestling where he worked in the Disciples Of The New Church stable which was lead by James Mitchell, who is still with Impact. In 2006 he started working for WWE, working in Ohio Valley Wrestling and moving down to FCW, which was recently profiled on the WWE Network before being called up and given the name and gimmick of Kizarny. After leaving the company in 2009, Bodhi has not only competed for various independents but also created his own promotion, Freakshow Wrestling, which is a hybrid of wrestling and circus freakshows. He is also an accomplished author, actor and tattoo artist. He's got a lot of stories to tell, including stories with friends of Steve and Sean. This will be a very entertaining program and we hope you will enjoy it.

This year's WrestleMania matches are changing as rapidly as the current statistics on the Coronavirus. A match that was possibly going to be filmed yesterday had to be changed today and so on. In this episode I'm going to look at the current situation with WrestleMania. As I'm sure the situation will possibly change before Smackdown airs I will not post any specific subjects and I will fly according to what happens there and what happens in the news as it happens.

We're still trying to digest the two night season premier of DARK SIDE OF THE RING as it brought up a lot of memories and feelings we've probably repressed for years. Tonight we'll open up about the episode, our recollections of that night when we learned about Chris Benoit and the following night after the details of the situation came to light. Lest you think the entire evening is going to be depressing we're going to bring out some recent Jim Cornette clips where he talks about Steve Austin's return to RAW, Riding with the late Buddy Landell and a long but amazing story about current AEW star Jake The Smake Roberts getting his head shaved in Mexico. We'll also talk about the latest Joey Janela stunt which has not only Jim but a lot of other people up in arms. WrestleMania has wrapped up taping, and apparently with a new ordinance in Orlando they finished just in time. Will AEW face the same issues? Speaking of WrestleMania, Vince is always looking for a money making angle. The question is, has he sunk to a new low? What about the Brodie Lee segement on AEW? Did they go too far? We will discuss all of these things and MORE- TONIGHT!

Evolution Radio Network Proudly Presents: Rampage Rants Thursday Night Turmoil on BTR LIVE with your hosts "Sadistic" Sean David & "Khaotic" Katie for two FULL hours of PURE Professional Wrestling Talk & More! Leading The Evolution of The Professional Wrestling Radio Revolution! TONIGHT on Rampage Rants TNT: The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused wrestling to be shut down for the first time EVER! In the illustrious history of Professional Wrestling never has something like this shut down events throughout the country including the GRAND DADDY of them all known as WRESTLEMANIA! This outbreak has caused independent promotions to cancel events and or postpone them for a later date when hopefully this outbreak will be contained and business can return to normal. This has caused the bigger promtoions to have to go to empty arena events. Its also caused the close of other forms of entertainment including sports, concerts, & movies to cancel or postpone seasons. The happiest place in the world DISNEY is closed! Vegas, the city that never sleeps is CLOSED! While this outbreak has people in a panic it is also causing businesses & working people from across the country & the world to lose money. There are systems and steps being taken to stimulate the economy in this time of panic, but smaller wrestling promtotions are taking measures to ensure that their workers still get paid during this time off until business can be restored to normal. The restaurant & bar industry is also being effected by this outbreak, and fundraisers are being made. We will discuss the impact this is having on everything & everyone during this time of diseray as it is no longer a topic that can be ignored. We will be joined by Maven Bentley from CZW tonight to discuss how it has impacted CZW and other promtoions. Then we try to do business as usual bringing all wrestling news. Join us tonight for the TURMOIL!

As I have been continuing to monitor the situation concerning the COVID-19 pandemic the situations are changing literally minute by minute. I will give you the latest information regarding what actions are being taken in regards to moving and/or cancelling events throughout the country. In other news, it looks like more people are leaving WWE. Did a well known WWE official get a demotion? I'll take the information I gave on W.A.R. and add on information that has come out today. I'll fill you in on all of these stories and more as they occur tonight.

The COVID 19 pandemic is changing the landscape of everything around us. Last night, the NBA season was suspended after the first positive test for the virus by a player. Today, one of his teammates also tested positive for the virus. Today, Major League Soccer suspended its season, which is only a week old for 30 days as a result of the rapidly spreading virus. Now, it's affecting professional wrestling. Last week we discussed New Japan canceling some dates, now it's gotten worse. The actions taken by the White House will affect many independent shows,starting immediately, and more importantly during WrestleMania week, which at this point is STILL up in the air. SmackDown may or may not move for tomorrow night, AEW has already cancelled its arena for next week. The long term affects on our industry might not be known for months. We are scheduled to be joined by our long time friend, ring announcer and promoter Paul Eubanks. We are sure he's going to have a lot to say about the situation. We are also reaching out to Rick "Crusher" Knopf as well as some other friends of the show to talk about the affect this is having now and may have to the long term health of our industry.

Vince McMahon is known to change entire shows hours before they are supposed to air live, one of those changes may cause a change in the Women's Elimination Chamber match, which now is the only one that counts since Vince already put Roman Reigns against Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. In regards to WrestleMania, there was an announced change to Axxess concerning a scheduled appearance. I'll tell you who and my thoughts as to why. AAA airs live on Twitch Saturday but there will be a time change there as well. There's also an angle that is happening right now that may have been the result of someone going into business for themselves. All of these stories and MORE are LIVE From The Dean's Den.

We just received word of the passing of legendary star "Crippler" Rip Oliver. We will be joined this evening by Memphis legend Bill Dundee who will share some stories and we are reaching out to more of his peers. Saturday AEW held its first pay per view of the year, REVOLUTION. The reaction to the event has been quite positive and we'll go over the matches and our reactions. However, we can't talk about AEW without talking about the most controversial member of their roster, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Friedman posted some things on Twitter and did something at a meet and greet session that have caused a bit of controversy. If you want to talk controversy, the Randy Orton/Beth Phoenix closing segment to Monday's go home edition of RAW caused quite a bit of controversy, at least with us. We'll discuss the segment and what our immediate reactions to it. Can you believe Vince once threatened to fine somebody if they WENT to the gym? Well he did, and we'll tell you who it was and what Vince's rationale for not wanting this wrestler to go to the gym. The COVID-19 virus is having an effect on wrestling just like it is in every other part of life currently. We'll discuss what has been said and/or done and what action someone should probably stop doing for the time being. We'll report on these, more Teddy Hart news, Sid Vicious being pulled from an event and another former guest of ours making their debut with another main promotion. All of this and anything that breaks with Katie, Steve and Sean TONIGHT.

Saturday is AEW's first pay per view of the year, REVOLUTION. Steve will go over the card and what to possibly expect during several of the matches. "Home Alone" star McCauley Culkin, who was supposed to be at this year's WrestleMania in Tampa is no longer going as he is quite upset over Bray Wyatt dropping the Universal Championship to Goldberg. Well it didn't take long for Goldberg to respond and the response was short and to the point. Speaking of older WWE part timers getting title opportunities, it looks like another part timer will be getting a title shot at WrestleMania. WWE pre show host Sam Roberts and Revival member Dash Wilder got into a battle on social media over terminology. There is another AEW figure that pre orders are being taken on. All of this and other items will be discussed LIVE From The Dean's Den.

Note: We most likely will be going into our third hour, in order to listen past the two hour mark you MUST be called in. For the first time ever we will be in a post show position as we are broadcasting just a few hours after WWE's latest Saudi Arabia event, Super Showdown. We are aware of a couple of major things involved with the show but we will include those items in the discussion. Prior to our discussion of Super Showdown, Katie ran into an old friend (or is it fiend?) this past weekend. The story, which took place at Smash Wresting, was quite unique and you will hear it all. Today's Super Showdown brings Saudi Arabia its first ever Women's title match when Bayley defends the SmackDown Women's TItle against Naomi and its first ever cage match when Baron Corbin takes on Roman Reigns. In addition, since there always has to be a special Saudi Arabia match, the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy will go to the winner of a gauntlet match. Last night's AEW Dynamite go home show prior to this Saturday's Revolution pay per view was an amazing event with the 30 minute ironman match between Kenny Omega and Pac and that chaotic weigh in segment at the end that brought a long time friend of ERN to an AEW ring for the first time. In addition, Samoa Joe is in trouble again, AEW signs their first NJPW star, a familiar face joins the ROH Women's title tournament and did Evil Uno confirm the identity of the Exalted One? All of this and more with Katie, Steve, Sean, and returning to the show, our friend, promoter/wrestler Chris Hensley, TONIGHT.

When Jonathan Good left the security of a job and a midcard push at WWE to strike back out on his own, taking back the name Jon Moxley, he wasn't sure if wrestling fans would accept the change, especially after some of the things he had to do in the later stages of his time at WWE. In this episode, in addition to other news, including who has been added to WrestleMania, including someone who will be working an independent show the day before. A huge rumor concerning the future of WWE pay per views has emarged, and it may change the future of one particular streaming service, in addition to the WWE Network. Why is Sami Zayn still playing his "Liberator" role rather than compete? Rhea Ripley has talked about the one thing WWE will not allow her to do. All of this and other news as it breaks prior to air time.

We are slightly over a week out from both Super Showdown and Revolution. RAW focused on WrestleMania while Dynamite closed with AEW's first cage match leading up to the Cody Rhodes Vs. MJF confrontation. Meanwhile, in Japan, the coronavirus is having an effect on the business. Former NXT UK star and Mae Young Classic standout Jazzy Gabert has started a new venture. An indie wrestler from Texas made her AEW debut and a former Impact star returned to AEW. Game Changer Wrestling is continung to build out to WrestleMania week with additions announced for both Josh Barnett's Blood sport and Joey Janela's Spring Break cards. AAA returns to action this Saturday night with a live event that will be broadcast in English and Spanish on Twitch. We will discuss all of these stories and possibly have some surprises. You'll have to liten to find out.

WrestleMania week has become an event in and of itself, with every promotion in the world converging on the host city and surrounding area to present their own talent, some of whom are also seen on Impact, ROH,NJPW and now AEW. Previously, Josh Barnette's Bloodsport had been the one specialty show during the week, but now there are other shows highlighting various diverse segments of the wrestling landscape, including FOR THE CULTURE, an event with an all Black roster and EFFY'S BIG GAY BRUNCH. I'll go over the major events that will be happening in the Tampa area during that week including the announced talent and highlighted matches. AAA is off for the week headed into another Twitch broadcast on the 22nd leaving CMLL the only main promotion running in Mexico, including a Valentine's Day event. There's a MAJOR spoiler concerning a WWE star and one of the championships. I hinted on TNT On BTR I hinted about a current WWE roster member who may be jumping to AEW but did not get to name them, I will name them on this episode.

Last night AEW made wrestling history when Nyla Rose pinned Riho to become the new AEW Women's World Champion. We'll look at why this is history making, because it is on two fronts. Did JR slip or was he giving away some things during commentary last night, possibly a couple of times? We also will discuss the debut of a past guest of ours last night that had us all going nuts. A few weeks ago New Japan did not have a TV home in the US. There are discussions in the works with a channel that has had two different shows about wrestling on it, They also have announced their return date at Madison Square Garden. Ring Of Honor has announced a major change to its women's title. Speaking of women's titles, Triple H recently addressed the conroversy surrounding the NXT Women's Championship. NXT also has a TakeOver slated for Sunday which has some far reaching effects on this year's WrestleMania. The RetroMania Wrestling video game is getting a lot of buzz. This throwback video game includes many of the top stars of the industry with a look that hearks back to the early Nintendo and arcade video games. We'll discuss the current available information in regard to the wrestlers who will be included and the scheduled release date. There may also be another video game in the works and it's NOT a WWE game. All of this, plus possible visits by Crimey AND Hugo Savinovich - TONIGHT

Slightly over two weeks ago Andrade was suspended for violating the WWE Wellness Policy, but did he really violate it? On TNT On BTR we discussed the situation and a report coming from our good friend Hugo Savinovich about the situation. Earlier today I had a long phone conversation with Hugo. He relayed a lot of information to me, some of which I am free to share with you on this episode. Once you hear this your opinion toward the Wellness Policy may very well change. This is not going to be a pretty conversation, but it is a necessary one. Now I don't plan to be all serious or down, so if there is time I will discuss Saturday night's AAA card which will be broadcast live on Twitch as well as a BIG rumor concerning a current WWE star.

Lesson number one: Don't rip on AEW on Twitter, Chris Jericho will make you famous and you'll get torn apart on our show. Lesson Number two: Don't go around claiming you're trained when you're not. We'll find out about you and expose you to the world. Tonight, along with giving you the latest news we are going to tear apart a couple of fools who have put themselves out there to be ridiculed and exposed. Fool number one, an idiot who decided he knew exactly where AEW did their TV and PPVs at. Well Le Champion got wind of the tweet and ripped him a new one which set up a chain of further humiliation by the Twitterverse. Fool number two, an untrained yarder who tried to pass himself off as a trained wrestler and in the process has humiliated himself and stolen from other promotions. For this segement we will have wrestler/promoter Chris Hensley and members of his team to tell the story of this untrained wrestler and give other promoters a warning. Fool number three, the idiot who attacked MJF and Wardlow at the end of Dynamite last night. Sean is out sick so Steve and Katie will be your zookeepers tonight, get ready for a crazy show.

Last night on TNT On BTR Steve broke the story of the upcoming AEW debut of Brodie Lee, FKA Luke Harper. Well Steve's got another one, and it's based on a copyright request made a few months ago. He also gave a teaser about an upcoming WrestleMania week show that, while the event is good for who it waill showcase, he's a little concerned about the name because of what it was used for just several weeks ago. WWE UK has announced new talent signings that he will talk about. This should be a very interesting show.

RIcky? Ricky who? Well the story goes like this, while Sean and Steve were in Wisconsin Friday making an announcement, almost a thousand miles away in Atlanta that announcement was being ripped to shreds. We'll talk about that and the event, including who didn't show up. Speaking of controversy, by now everyone knows about the suspension of Andrade. The question is who knew what when and why is he still United States champion? We'll answer that, along with more controversy concerning Matt Riddle and Brock Lesnar. Also, why did Charlotte win the Women's Rumble and who else was in the mix to win the Men's Rumble? Ryback is going after CM Punk again. A biography about a deceased WWE star is in the works. Two more WWE executives are gone and WWE is trying to trademark the name of a released star. We also have information on the apparent debut date and location of a former WWE star when he moves over to AEW. All these stories and more will be covered by Katie, Steve & Sean TONIGHT.

On TNT On BTR we talked about Baron Corbin putting down the opening contest on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite. We're going to look into the implications of his tweet, as well as more of the clapback he recieved from it. Rey Fenix may have gotten injured Wednesday night taping AEW Dark, I will have the details. Eric Young has come out about his current status with WWE. I now have more information concerning TNT's potential plans for AEW Dark. In Ring Of Honor news I have an update on the status of Jeff Cobb, a favorite of both ROH and NJPW fans.More rumors, including a possible clue on Twitter, are surrounding former Impact Wrestling star Killer Kross. Who was supposed to be the leader of The Dark Order? You might be surprised at the answer. WWE is applying for another trademark. I will bring you current information on the CMLL/NJPW joint shows in Japan as well as the upcoming dates for AAA. This should be a fun show, I hope you will enjoy it.

This has not been a great start to a year. Within the first 15 days of the year we have lost Jon IanPampero FirpoAAA LaParkaKendo Nagasaki - American VersionRocky Johnson After paying tribute to these men, we will be covering a lot of stories, including: The Tessa Blanchard ControversyImpact Wrestling Banned From TwitchTriple H's "joke" about PaigeWill Osprey's InjuryAEW's TV DealTaz Signs With AEWMarty Scurll Resigns With ROHAnother NJPW Star Is RetiringMore as it happens This is going to be a LOADED show. You may not like everything we say tonight, but you know we don't pull punches and we are going to be honest with you. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride tonight.

Note: Due to illness, Steve will not be with us this evening. We are hoping he will feel well enough to do LIVE tomorrow night. This past weekend was the annual huge opening of the year with New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom 14. This year's event was marked by several firsts, including: The first ever TWO NIGHT eventThe first ever WOMEN'S MATCH on an NJPW cardThe first recognition of a non IWGP title in NJPW history Things are NOT all sunshine and roses in WWE as CM Punk went after The Miz, who seemed to mock Punk's return to a WWE TV show. Punk wrote a since deleted tweet (although NOTHING ever disappears on the internet) that can simply be described as savage, if not downright obscene. For those of you who saw RAW Monday and saw the person being tackled by security prior to going to commercial we now know who that was. Championship Wrestling From Hollywood promoter and NWA Powerr interviewer David Marquez is expanding wrestling on local television on the West Coast, this time with a promotion based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their commentator will be someone well known to Bay Area sports fans. Are you wondering who was behind IWGP US Champion Jon Moxley's swerve on Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle last night? We have that answer as well, along with information about who has creative freedom (for the most part) and if AEW has a team doing their writing for them. Impact Wrestling holds their first pay per view of the year this Sunday. We'll discuss tha matches and maybe make predictions, although we sure didn't get much right on Wrestle Kingdom so maybe we won't! All of this and MORE with Katie and Sean, TONIGHT!

After a little rest for the holidays, Steve is back as Wrestle Kingdom weekend is about to start. He'll run down the matches for the two night event and might even make a couple of predictions. He'll akso go over the situation between NJPW, AXS TV and AEW. More information has come out within the past 14 hours that had not been known previously. Nikki Bella is back in the news, but not for anything wrestling related. John Morrison's name is being bandied about, but the question is when will he make his first appearance. We may know that before we go on the air, although some clues are already coming out. Both AAA & CMLL ran New Year's Day events and we'll talk about the matches that occurred and possible upcoming plans for the Mexican promotions, including continuing controversy over the name of one of AAA's biggest stars. We'll discuss all these and MORE tonight.

After a week break for the holidays Sean, Steve & Katie are back to discuss the highlights and lowlights of the past year in the wrestling business, plus the current news, some of which we will admit is not pleasant. The Lana/Lashley "Wedding" The BJ Whitmer/Kelly Klein situation A sexual harassment claim at Impact Sonya DeVille & Mandy Rose's reaction to Liv Morgan Dylan Mylie AKA Lars Sullivan AKA Mitch Bennett Joey Janela/Kip Sabian & Penelope Ford The Dean's Promo School is back in session We will discuss these stories, the one error in Chris Jericho's offer to Jon Moxley and more - TONIGHT.

We have been known to get talents to talk to us as they are up and coming and then watch them hit the big time. Ivelisse had been well known in Chicago but had moved to Florida when we had her on. Not long after that, she became a Lucha Underground mainstay. We had on a young lady known at the time as Crazy Mary Dobson. Today, Sarah Logan is part of the WWE. Kennadi Brink made her main roster debut on SmackDown this past Friday, only now she is referee Jessika Carr. Will the streak continue with tonight's guest? You never know. Shalandra "Rookie" Royal is a multifacited young woman. She is currently a college student, but while she does that she is also combining many other things, obviously one of those things is wrestling. She is a songwriter and singer, in fact, her first appearance for AEW was at ALL IN...AS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM SINGER! She was part of a four way match at Double Or Nothing involving the currently suspened Nyla Rose. In addition to that, she has connections to several of our past guests. We'll discuss the people and what role they have played in her career as well as balancing classwork and her many other interests. This should be a lot of fun as we get ready to wrap up the year going into the holiday season, we hope you will enjoy it.

The big news of the day is of course the suspensions of Robert Roode and Primo Colon. Add that to the releases and Lana making William Shattner seem like Lord Lawrence Olivier and we've got enough WWE stuff to cover most of the first hour. Albert "ACH" Hardie just can't seem to let go. After "quitting" the wrestling business over the weekend he has fired off on Shad Gaspard of Cryme Tyme. Randy Orton is pushing for a former Intercontinental Champion fo be inducted into the Hall Of Fame. The problem is, he's working for the competition. If you were wondereing why Seth Rollins had a cast on Monday night, it was NOT a storyline situation. We'll explain what happened to the former champion just a week from TLC. Stardom has issued a new policy, which is a first for the industry. Impact had it's last pay per view of the year Sunday that we'll discuss slong with other news there. Two AEW stars have returned to NJPW and they have announced new US dates. We'll cover these and more TONIGHT!

Yes, CM Punk said "F*** Hulk Hogan". I'll tell you the circumstances behind the "WWE Backstage" anaylist's statement. I have information regarding SmackDown Live's channel status in the UK. We have match listing spoilers for TLC and news about Lana and Rusev. In MLW one talent has been released while a new one has been signed. We have an update on Jeff Hardy that sounds very hopeful. Former ECW talent The Sandman came under fire recently for some comments made to several women involved in the main event at last weekend's WrestleCade and he is speaking on it. I will discuss all these things and MORE! You don't want to miss this.

Thanks to our friend Jess Blue for arranging getting our featured guest for tonight's show. Shawn Hernandez, like many other athletes who have become stars in the wrestling business, did not start in wrestling. Like many others, he came from football. However, in Shawn's case, he did not come from the classic gridiron that spawned such stars as Bronco Nagurski, Wahoo McDaniel and Manny Fernandez. Instead, Shawn came from the Arena Football League. In fact, one of Shawn's trainers is one of our very good friends and regular contributor to the show, Rudy Boy Gonzalez. Shawn's career has taken him through a number of promotions throughout the years, He has been with Texas All-Star Wrestling, NWA, WWF and many more, but his most famous stint is probably his second time in TNA where he became a member of one of the hottest groups in the promotion, the Latin American Exchange, AKA LAX. We'll talk about his training with Rudy, his title reigns and travels, working with Konan, the differences between American wrestling and lucha libre style from his days at AAA and many more stories. We hope you will enjoy what should be another great interview.

For my lagomorphic listeners on Anchor and other host services, the Bill Dundee episode will NOT be put on those services. I will explain why in this broadcast. The Chicago area is abuzz, it's Survivor Series weekend. It's been 30 years since the Thanksgiving time tradition was in the area, but at that time, NXT wasn't even a gleam in Vince Mcmahon's eye, Now the Black & Yellow brand seems to be poised, especially with the way they have been presented over the last few weeks , not as the underdog, but as the team to beat. Since the issues with the Saudi Arabia flight grounding (which is still a source of debate) forced the NXT roster to make an emergency trip to fill slots at SmackDown, they have been getting cheered over almost all the main roster on RAW & SmackDown. We'll also take a look at the situational surrounding Jim Cornette's leaving the NWA. WWE Hall Of Famer Mark Henry has come out with comments regarding the situation. Henry was trained at then WWE developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling when Cornette was in charge and holder him to be a friend, but he is pulling no punches. This WILL be a controversial episode, so you do not want to miss it.

The history of professional wrestling is marked by the various territories that ran throughout the country. Of those territories, one of the most famous, which housed many of the biggest names in our industry was the Continental Wrestling Association, commonly referred to as the Memphis territory, which was its base. The area was headlined, of course, by Jerry "The King" Lawler. Lawler, however, could not have done it without a supporting group of wrestlers who at various times either teamed with or turned on him. One of those very well known names is who we are honored to have as our special guest tonight, Superstar Bill Dundee. Born in Angus, Scotland, Bill and his family moved to Australia while he was small. At 16 he fulfilled what is considered the standard childhood dream at the time and joined the circus. He started his wrestling career in 1962, but amazingly did not come to the US until 1974. Lance Russell always described the 5'7" Dundee as being "built like a fireplug". Despite not being a classically tall wrestler, he was always one of the draws of the territory. We will be joined by our good friend Kenny Bolin, and we will be reaching out to others who worked with Bill over the years. We know Bill has a ton of great stories and we can't wait to have him share them with you.

Well, WWE 2K20 has proved to be a technical bust, so WWE is going back to another idea that did woek. While WWE fans are waiting for the in ring return of Ronda Rousey they have something else fans of the UFC Hall Of Fame member can look forward to. We now have a buy rate, at least partially, for Full Gear and it does look good. Cody Rhodes issued a statement on social media regarding his loss in the championship match at Full Gear. We also know about the situation concerning AEW's won/loss records. We talked previously about Kenny Omega's issues with entering Japan recently, New Japan has issued a statement regarding some charges regarding them and Omega's entry issues. Both CMLL & AAA have loaded schedules over the next week, including Twitch and Facebook Live events. This should be a fun evening, we hope you enjoy it.

Tonight on Rampage Rants TNT on ERN on BTR LIVE is going to be one of those episodes that if you're sensitive about certain subject matter we are going to warn you it's going to get rather dark at times. If the name Chasyn Rance does not ring a bell with you consider yourself lucky. This criminal runs a wrestling school in Florida, or at least he did, he may not after all of the latest stories about him come out to a wider audience, and we're just the people to do exactly that. Teddy Hart's name also comes up in this conversation, as does Kenny Omega. On the smaller independent scene a small promotion in south central Illinois may have made it where wrestling will no longer be allowed in the area. Tina Gant was scheduled to join us but due to legal issues she cant. unfortunately it looks like she and her promotion has been the victim of criminal activity again. A St. Louis promotion lost their Facebook page as a member of their roster left, and we will cover that.On the AEW front there was a physical confrontation between two roster members at Tony Schiavone's birthday party. They also ran their first pay per view since they started on TNT and had a knockout version of Dynamite that included one of the best and funniest promo segements of the year. WWE had quite a few things going with both SmackDown and RAW being taped during their recent trip to England and some changes being made to the matches that will take place at Survivor Series that were a result of the Saudi plane grounding. In addition, CM Punk made his return to WWE TV this week and surprisingly, not everyone is happy about it. Rusev has come out defending the storyline with Lana and Bobby Lashley, while apparently confessing to doing something a couple of WrestleManias ago.This will be ANOTHER loaded program, that you will NOT want to miss! So join your hosts Katie, Sean, & Steve for what promises to be 2 FULL hours of pure pro wrestling talk!

Last night on Wrestling Authority Radio our friend Hugo Savinovich talked about the behind the scenes issues and frightened WWE staff during the grounding of the charter plane that was supposed to take them back from Saudi Arabia. Tonight Steve looks further into the situation, including the meeting that took place before RAW on Monday night. Meanwhile, at AEW, last minute preparations are going on behind the scenes for Saturday's Full Gear pay per view, while in Mexico at the same time AAA will be doing a show which will air for free on their English and Spanish feeds. Puerto Rican star Savio Vega is making claims concerning the status of members of the legendary Colon family. All of these stories and MORE will be covered TONIGHT.

Once again we open the lines to the independent wrestling scene, namely in the Chicago suburbs. A few weeks ago we had our long time friend PL Myers and several members of the POWW roster on to talk about WrestleRage. Well the countdown clock is ticking down with arund 72 hours left before their annual big event. PL joins us again tonight and he is scheduled to be joined by Joey Roth, ICONS Of The Illinois Valley manager C. Red and Cognito Jones. As always, live guests are subject to change due to outside situtaions, but PL will most definately be there. Our second hour will focus on the still controversial situation regarding the grounded WWE charter plane that occurred after the latest Crown Jewel event, forcing WWE to have NXT talent "invade" Friday SmackDown last week. Well a few days later our good friend Hugo Savinovich, who still maintains contacts in WWE in addition to his work with AAA Lucha Libre and other companies, broke a story that stated that it was NOT "mechanical problems" that grounded the plane. We will talk to Hugo about the accusations against many people involved in the flight, as well as communications that are coming out from talent who were directly affected, as well as the talent meeting that was said to have occurred Monday night before RAW. Tonight will be loaded of fun and controversy, so strap in, because just like a plane going into turbulance, this is going to be a bumpy ride..

Several WWE stars will not make it to tonight's Friday Night SmackDown on Fox due to plane issues in Saudi Arabia. There is a lot of turmoil right now in Ring Of Honor as a veteran performer who was working as a producer for the company has been let go and it is causing a big rift within the locker room. A sheet writer has actually been tabbed to be one of the people involved with "WWE Backstage" on FS1. WWE has also experienced a drastic drop in income recently which is causing concern and may be based on a fan exodus that started after the disappointment that was Hell In A Cell. All of these issues and MORE will be discussed TONIGHT.

Tonight the boys are left to their own devices (God help us) while Katie terrorizes Toronto in whatever costume she has chosen this year. Tonight we also get to do our first ever same night review of the latest event in the Crown Jewel series from Saudi Arabia. In addition to the shocking finish to the main event the first ever women's match was held along with a few other surprise moments. Of course this week couldn't go without controversy and there was plenty provided. On the Illinois scene a wrestler was stripped of a title and the circumstances behind it seem less than legit. On the national stage former ROH talent ACH, now known as Jordan Myles in NXT crested s firestorm of controversy. Not only did he cause an uproar on Twitter about a shirt design, he used a particularly nasty slur against one of his former ROH coworkers. AEW crowned its first tag team champions and a legendary team was attacked prior to the match. NXT saw the return of Kairi Sane and Asuka as the Womens Tag Champs brought their titles for a defense and when it was all over a major announcement was made regarding their next pay per view event. AAA also held an event that was televised live on Twitch and it saw what looks to be the absolute finish for one of their most popular tag teams. RIng Of Honor announced a big change in previously announced upcoming dates as well as a new overseas TV deal. New Japan announced their latest expansion and a breakdown of where they will tour and how many dates will be in each area. Impact Wrestling also made their debut on AXS TV and they did it with a major title change. Get ready for a fun evening with Steve and Sean tonight.

Saturday and Sunday provided two major wrestling events, Impact Wrestling's "Bound For Glory" and AAA Lucha Libre's "Heroes Imortales XIII". Both shows had some big surprises, one of which was announced after the event, and while we will discuss BFG on our own we will bring in some top notch help to talk about HI, with our good friend AAA commentator Hugo Savinovich. A lot of things occurred in the Twitterverse, with Seth Rollins once again jumping on the keyboard to attack AEW talent, Randy Orton making a tease as the details of the end point of his contract come into focus and in an "Is it a work or is it a shoot?" moment Sonya DeVille and Lacey Evans tear into one another viciously. WWE 2K20 has also been trending on Twitter, but not for good reasons. In fact, refunds are already being offered to some buyers and a WWE Hall Of Fame member has taken to Twitter to promise to make things right for fans. The WWE On Fox account also took some heat in the past week for a now deleted tweet that seemed to chide WWE fans for one of their favorite passtimes during a WWE TV broadcast. Impact has made an offer to two AEW executives, we'll tell you who they approached and what the offer is for. All of these things and MORE - TONIGHT!

This has been quite a unique week in the wrestling business. As the WWE was conducting it's "draft" there were stars asking for their releases. Meanwhile, AEW continues to be THE force to reckon with in the wrestling business while NXT continues what appears to be a downward spiral. In this episode Steve discusses who is coming and going from which promotions, who is getting pulled from events and so much more. After a two week hiatus, The Dean is back and loaded for bear. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/livefromthedeansden/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/livefromthedeansden/support

It's been a while since we have presented a W.A.R. episode, especially one that has focused on an upcoming event but tonight we are pleased to present stars from suburban Chicago independent promotion POWW Entertainment. Their big event, WrestleRage 17 is set to occur November 9 in Addison. Tonight's guests are all involved in matches at the event. We were scheduled to have POWW founder Jimmy Blaze but he can not be with us due to other obligations. However, we do have a fine list of guests for tonight: POWW Original "Dr." Jeff Luxon Joey Roth "The Shot To The Top" PL Myers We will talk about the origins of the promotion, the creation of WrestleRage and the matches our guests will be involved in plus the other matches on the card. If you are an independent wrestling fan, this is a must listen to show.

Sunday night Hell In A Cell laid an egg bigger than the one the Gobbledygooker was in. This caused not only criticism, including live on a WWE program by a Hall Of Famer, but a number of hashtags, including #CancelWWENetwork to trend on Twitter through Sunday night, as well as part of Monday. Now WWE was on the hook to make up for it with a pre draft episode of RAW that would be off the charts. Meanwhile, down in Jacksonville, AEW were esentially handed a gift in that they were going to get eyes on them this week they didn't have the week before as disgusted WWE fans, if social media is accurate, were going to give the upstarts a shot to prove their worthiness.Meanwhile, on Facebook Live and YouTube, the oldest name in the wrestling universe, the NWA, was about to deliver it's new version of an old concept, the studio wrestling show, to a viewing audience that was most likely too young to know when the letters NWA meant something in the wrestling business. Tonight we will also discuss the art of the promo. As all of you are probably aware, due to leaked scripts, some of which we have posted. WWE programming is entirely written out, including the wrestler's promos. However, there are NO scripted promos on Powerrr or Dynamite, and we're going to relive Chris Jericho introducing Inner Circle, and the promo NWA World Champion Nick Aldis cut to start Powerrr. We will also discuss the elements necessary to cut a good promo, as Sean and Steve are both very knowledgeable in the art of cutting a promo. We will also discuss the upcoming draft, who might be going where and who and how the draft may go down. Luke Harper seems to letting his disgust with WWE show, Britt Baker gets a new reminder she was in the ring with Bea Priestly.Two major names are apparently leaving New Japan, and MORE will be discussed with Katie, Steve and Sean - TONIGHT! WARNING: The Jericho promo DOES contain adult language.

This is part radio show, part experiment. After BlogTalk's screw ups this week, one of which cost us an entire episode, Steve is bringing his solo project to BTR for one night to see if the problems have been corrected. IF this all works out, Steve will talk about this week in wrestling, RAW, AEW Dynamite, NXT & SmackDown. Let's see what happens.

Don't blame us for going on opposite Impact, Anthem & AXS didn't promote the date of their premier. DVR it. Six years ago Gabe Hubbard had a dream. He wanted to create a program about wrestling with news and interviews with people involved in the industry. While the name has changed a bit along with some of the hosts, the idea, now called Wrestling Authority Radio, has remained the same. Tonight and tomorrow before the AEW/NXT on USA premier, we will be bringing on people who have helped make our show work. Included in tonight's line up will be: Legendary Ohio Valley Wrestling manager Kenny "Starmaker" Bolin Promoter and commentator Hugo Savinovich Original GLOW girl April "Royal Hawaiian" Enriquez Original GLOW girl KT "Corporal Kelly" Hart As always with an Anniversary show, surprise guests may show up. Help Katie, Steve and Sean celebrate the dream still being a reality.

Tonight ends an era, at least for now when SmackDown Live does its last broadcast, for the time being, on USA. Now WWE's history with shows that left USA has not been the best, will this time be different? This is a subject that will probably be up for discussion. Now with next week's "season premier" of RAW on USA and SmackDown Live's actual premier on Fox there may some butting of heads between WWE management, USA management and FOX management as someone who is going to be on the first episode of SDL will be on RAW a few days prior and FOX is wanting a current RAW star to be brought to SDL. Meanwhile, two of the biggest female stars of the current era both look like they are calling it a career, one by choice, one due to injury, but it looks like her post in ring career may already be chosen for her. Three legendary stars are currently in the hospital and Chris Jericho has done something for one of those legends. Rey Mysterio referred back to one of the biggest angles of his career on social media, and a female WWE performer staged an outside "confrontation" for her social media account and is getting a lot of backlash for it. All of these stories and news of an upcoming change in our schedule will be covered TONIGHT!

After what many are calling a lackluster at best pay per view on Sunday with Clash Of Champions, the follow up last night on RAW can only be described with three initials: W T F! We will break down Clash and then break down a RAW that had some of the most questionable content of the series dating back to the Attitude Era. Tonight is also the final (for now) episode of SmackDown Live on USA. In addition to the "coronation" of "King" Corbin, a six man tag between The New Day and Randy Orton and SmackDown tag champs The Revival is scheduled. Along with that, Shane McMahon is scheduled to address the firing of Kevin Owens, who has trolled Twitter beautifly since his "firing" with not only hints about his future, but trolling Becky Lynch's match finish at Clash. Will Run Bailey Run make it to Atlanta after running out of the building in Cleveland? Will Alexa Bliss make it after getting "hurt" last night? In other news we will cover, a strange and sad incident occured over the weekend involving Big Cass, the AAA invasion of New York involved one title change and continued controversy as a star on AAA's roster was NOT used. We'll tall you who that was and why. We'll also go over more information regarding the AEW premier on TNT and much more. Katie, Steve and Sean are looking forward to talking to you tonight.

Leave it for the week that Steve returns from taking care of his wife pre and post surgery for the controversies to once again explode in the wrestling business. First, a controversy that dates back to Triplemania concerning Cody Rhodes and a chant that occurred during his match. Then, over in England, a referee got assaulted after a match. This is a big mess and as a former referee, Steve is none too happy about it and is going to let loose about it. Warning, names WILL be named and feelings WILL NOT be spared! U.S. politics has raised its head in the wrestling business, at least as far as AAA Lucha Libre is concerned. Ric Flair has apparantly inked a new promotional deal with a major company at the same time he and WWE are at odds, and the situation has caused an effect on his family. From there AEW takes its turn in the controversy spotlight as a former 80s female talent is coming out against one of the women who is getting a push by the company. Add to that WWE planning to make changes to the network and you have a night of it. That doesn't even count the GoFundMe set up for an Illinois based VERY imfamous person whom we have talked about many times on this show. Obviousy we will try and cover tonight's go home editions of RAW and SmackDown Live prior to this Sunday's Clash Of Champions pay per view. Make sure you log on and listen as the conversation is bound to get hot and heavy.

Last night the anticipated announcement of NXT moving to USA Network was announced. Now what does that mean for the future of what has become the flagship wrestling show on WWE Network? We have that information along with what will happen to their wildly popular TakeOver events. Information has also come out on how much USA is paying for the popular franchise. AAA Lucha Libre, which is making its New York debut was recently shifted into a smaller arena in the Madison Square Garden complex. Why did the move happen and what is the feeling within the company regarding the move? Well we got a very definative answer from our good friend, AAA & AEW Spanish commentator Hugo Savinovich, and once again, Hugo gives us a clue into the mindset of Marisalla Pena, and it's very interesting. In regards to AEW, with a little over a week before their highly anticipated ALL OUT event, Brandi Rhodes cut probably one of the most killer promos wrestling has seen or heard in a long time. If you haven't seen or heard it, we have it for you tonight. Meanwhile AEW continues to sell out and the next two TV locations were announced this week and they are two very diverse locations. AEW & NJPW talent Jon Moxley has been making the rounds, including unmasking another AEW talent this past weekend at an independent show. We also know now how long his New Japan contract is good for which could give us an idea of how long he'll hold the NJPW US title. Speaking of contracts, two WWE stars, one of whom is a friend of Steve's, just put out the time frame remaining on their contracts. Were they crying for help or signaling to other organiztions that they are looking to move? We'll discuss that as well. All of these stories and many more will be discussed by Katie, Steve and Sean TONIGHT.

Last night before we went on the air, Steve found a post from an old friend who used to work for Paragon Pro Wrestling that was responded to by one of our long time fans. The story involves an East Coast "promoter" who, because he was upset by criticism from one of the fans, threatened to STAB him, then he CHALLENGED THE FAN TO A FIGHT! Steve rached out to the wrestler, Ethan H. Diaz, who graciously accepted the offer to appear tonight to discuss this "promoter" along with other things happening in his career. In other news we will cover tonight: It appears Vince McMahon screwed another WWE star. A female wrestler was sent home this past weekend. Two WWE executives are doing a stock dump. AEW has announced the date of their first title defense. A well known wrestler starts a GoFundMe for medical treatements. All this and more with Steve (one time ONLY) and Sean TONIGHT!

If you live or were visiting Toronto over the past few days you were treated to a cornucopia of wrestling events, In addition to the big four events WWE had there were many independent events throughout the area. Our very own Khaotic Katie was at the biggest of these events and she is going to tell us all about it. Tonight's special guest, Mike Droese, is known to 1990s WWF fans as Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. While not being one of the biggest stars in the company, Mike was engaged in high profile matches throughout his time in the Federation, having wrestled such stars as Jerry "The King" Lawler, Triple H when he was still portaying an upper crust snob and Charles "The Godfather" Wright when he was working under the name of Kama. Mike also has a collection of great stories to tell, one of which became very timely in the wake of the announcement last night on RAW. We hope you will enjoy hearing about Mike's life and times, both in and out of the ring.

Note: We have also reached out to Sam Houston, who has told a myriad of stories about himself, his brother Jake "The Snake" Roberts, and Harley on our shows. As of yet we have not heard from him,we are hoping he will join us. Last Wednesday afternoon the wrestling world was saddened with the anouncement that the legendary NWA World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race had passed away after a courageous battle against cancer. Although his passing had been somewhat expected, especially after he had to be hospitalized on his way to a convention in Tennessee, the shock of getting the news was still very gut wrenching for all of us. We are very fortunate to have our good friend Hugo Savinovich on tonight as he knew Harley very well. Harley truly was a World Champion as he defended the NWA title all over the world so he spent a lot of time in Puerto Rico with Hugo. Hugo was also with Harley when Jim Crockett produced the very first Starrcade event, and he will tell that story as well. Should there be time, we will discuss Lucha Libre AAA's annual big event Triplemania XXVII. Join us as we pay tribute to one of the legendary preformers of this or any era, the eight time NWA World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race.

On his Monday morning perusal of Twitter to see the latest insults fired at fools by Jim Cornette or Tony Schiovanne Steve came across a commuication between Dustin Rhodes and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Dustin was thanking Jake for warning him against an "event promoter" in Ontario who is billing a "convention" that he is advertising where allegedly WWE superstars and legends, cult film icons and a legendary NHL star are all supposed to appear. Further investigation shows this person has a history reminiscent of the Dudley, Ga. debacle we covered a few years ago. We are bringing in Katie's long time friend, Toronto promoter Bernadette Johnstone, who is very familiar with the person involved, to fill us in on him and his bad reputation. Former Smoky Mountain and ECW star Jerome "New Jack" Young has come out with a new video on YouShoot. Now while we won't play the clip because he uses one particularly offensive word repeatedly, we will tell you the claims he makes about another star, as well as the people he says helped him understand how to be his character, one of whom is a very good friend of ours. A new signing has happened over at Impact Wrestling and we also know what's next, at least for the moment, for John Hennigan, AKA Morrison, Mundo, Impact, you pick one, and it sounds a little out there. AEW has also hired another YouTube wrestling interviewer that you might be watching. AEW also took a little shot at a real life event and the backlash in its most recent ALL OUT match promo video.The first announced match for the premier episode of AEW on TNT has also been announced today. Scott Steiner once again takes aim at Vince McMahon and the WWE Hall Of Fame. Former Lucha Underground announcer Matt Stryker recently revealed a very painful part of his past, one that has had an effect on his life. All this and more with Katie, Steve and Sean TONIGHT.

Tonight we will be talking about a lot of things that have been happening in the business, especially within social media. We will begin with an interview with trans wrestler Kaci Dillon. She was involved in a match that has drawn controversy post match after the comments of her opponent. Of course when you talk about wrestling and social media the name Jim Cornette immediately comes to mind, and once again The Louisville Lip does not disappoint. From MJF to Jelly Janela to Blink 182, Jim did not disappoint this week. Speaking of MJF, he had both good and apparently bad happen to him this week. From a contract extension to fights with airlines and Conrad Thompson, the rising star with the Burberry scarf kept us entertained. Two former guests of ours also made splashes on social media, one for making an announcement that may have surprised a lot of people, the other one made a splash just by "being themself". Last night's RAW Reunion, which may still be going on if Steve Austin isn't done drinking all the beer, had quite a few memorable moments. From the return of several names from the past, to the oldest 24/7 Champion, the first woman to hold the belt, and a revisiting of two very controversial moments, one from WCW, the other from old school WWF concerning the belt, the comedic title actually gained some relevance last night. Mick Foley also passed the torch to the man many have considered the new version of Foley's Mankind character. SmackDown Live tonight MAY have the Daniel Bryan "career altering anouncement" that was supposed to happen last week but didn't, the continuation of the Maverick/Truth conflict over the 24/7 title and Drake's real life wife, former guest Renee Michelle, along with a SummerSlam announcement from Kofi Kingston. All these items and more will be discussed by Steve, Katie and Sean TONIGHT.

Alll this LIVE in the ER TONIGHT!

This was a loaded weekend in the wrestling business. For the first time ever, big dog WWE programmed against upstart AEW with Evolve, the Gabe Sapolsky led promotion that has a partership with WWE, putting several NXT talents on their 10th Anniversary show, which aired on the WWE Network at the same time AEW's Fight For The Fallen, a benefit show for the families of the victims of a mass shooting in Jacksonville earlier in the year was on B/R Live and FITE, depending on your location. It wouldn't be a week in the wrestling business without Jim Cornette being involved in one way or another. From avoiding a possible disaster in Knoxville to more dumping on Joey Janella, to retweeting second-hand a tweet by a guy who was stupid enough to not only rip on Jim, but also POSTED HIS NUMBER ON TWITTER asking Janella to text him. Well wait until you hear what one of our hosts did, you'll bust a gut, we guarantee it! Sunday, of course, was Extreme Rules, a show that signaled the end of Vince McMahon being completely in charge. There were a lot of title changes on that show, including, of course, the one that caused the most negative reaction. Last night was the first official show with Paul Heyman at the helm, and if this is any indication of what is going to happen in the upcoming weeks, welcome to Attitude Era 2.0. Tonight begins the Eric Bischoff Era on SmackDown Live as they mark their final weeks on USA Network before making the move to Fox. Wrestling fans know how Eric blurred the lines between story and reality, especially with the nWo, it will be interesting to see how far he is allowed to go, especially if Vince really does stay hands off. We'll discuss all these things and more, including the latest on the Jeff Hardy public intoxication case, with Katie, Sean, and the returning Dean Of Wrestling Referees Steve Cain, TONIGHT!

All the go home shows prior to WWE's Extreme Rules pay per view finished last night with 205 Live. We'll go over everything that occurred on all three shows and see if we can find any clues to what might happen on Sunday. This time, instead of an NXT TakeOver to lead into the pay per view, WWE is actually running a show from another promotion. Now while that may sound odd, it's a well known fact that Evolve and WWE have been working together for several years, and NXT talents have appeared on Evolve events. In fact, Evolve owner Gabe Sapolsky is a employee of WWE. Now while this is going on, AEW will be presenting their second event, Fight For The Fallen, in Jacksonville. How will one event affect the other in terms of viewers? Will Jim Cornette's criticism of Fyter Fest, especially The Buy In, have an effect on what matches are presented for the pre show and what order? We'll discuss all the ideas surrounding it, and if The Young Bucks might have been poking fun at themselves based on what Cornette said. All of these things and MORE with Sean and Katie, TONIGHT.

We had Tina Gant scheduled last week and she actually called in. Unfortunately, she got a call that changed the entire course of the evening. She will be joining us to talk about the situation, and there will probably be A LOT of adult language being used by Tina during her time on the air. The tweet that confirmed what we reported last night was posted at 9 AM Eastern. AEW is going to air on TNT. We'll discuss the appearance of the tweet, as there was obviously some important symbolism in it. There was also at least one response from a very interesting source. We now have more details concerning the airing of Double Or Nothing and other AEW material. We will discuss all of this and even more...TONIGHT!

If you didn't read the spoilers you will find out what happened on the go home edition of SmackDown Live at the same time we do. What will the "Wild Card Rule" mean in terms of what may have happened in London that will have an affect on Sunday's Money In The Bank? A sometimes friendship sometimes rivalry will be put to the test this Friday out in California and we will talk about that tonight. Double Or Nothing is a little over a week away and we now have the full match lineup and it looks loaded. However, there is one match that may be affected due to an out of the ring mishap. Can your past come back to bite you in the backside? In the WWE Universe it can, and in the case of Lars Sullivan it has. We will talk about the penalty the big man will be paying and the further requirements he will have to undergo. One of the current top storyline stars at Impact Wrestling is unhappy with his current situation and is looking to get out. Meanwhile, another Impact star is going to be out of action for an extended period.We'll tell you who it is and the nature of the injury. There's been a leak concerning the AEW TV deal which has listed a date for the first episode. We'll discuss all these things and more tonight. Miss an episode? Want to hear a favorite episode again? All our previous episodes are available on most formats, including iTunes and NOW on SPOTIFY!

The Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion took place in Las Vegas this past weekend and from the pictures and postings we have seen it looks like a good time was had by all. Tonight, we will catch up with a tired, sore, Cauliflower Alley Club President Brian Blair. We'll talk about all the great events that happened during the weekend and the awards that were handed out. We are reaching out to other friends of ours who were there to get their take on the weekend. We are also slated to be joined by our good friend, Tennessee promoter Tina Gant. This young lady always seems to have something going on and definitely has some opinions on what is happening in the wrestling business. This should be a great two hours with lots of fun stories and several surprises.

First question, why was there even a "Superstar Shake Up" if as many as 4 performers from RAW can go to SmackDown Live on any given night and the same number from SmackDown Live can go to RAW? That's the first question we ask ourselves after a good yet confusing opening to RAW last night. The next question is who will show up on the Blue brand tonight and what demands will they have? Just as this is being written an answer as to why the new "rule" happened has come out, could it have an affect on viewership, especially come October? Billy Graham has come out with a statement regarding his statement on Kofi Kingston. Confused? So are we, especially when he addresses Booker T, so we will address Billy. AAA ran a televised event on Sunday that may have, at least in one storyline, implications headed into August and Triplemania or even September and Madison Square Garden. In case you've forgotten, CMLL and The Crash are still running in Mexico and they also had events running this past weekend, but the event that may prove problematic, at least for AEW, will happen the night before Double Or Nothing. Speaking of Double Or Nothing, the opening battle royal has been given a different name this time with a unique format that at least in print sounds interesting. AEW is also heating up with many surprise apperances by roster members, including a surprise double appearance in Georgia this past weekend that had the entire crowd in a frenzy. We will discuss all of these things and more LIVE after SmackDown Live TONIGHT!

Note: You can now find our past episodes available for listening or download on iTunes! Tonight begins the countdown for RWF Rebellion Rising, the event Sean and Steve have been working on since late last year. Despite a few hiccups, as has been well documented, the event is on path to being excellent. Tickets are starting to go quick so if you don't want to be left out,no matter where you are either order your tickets online or if you live in the area pick them up at Trainor Flooring in Streator or Marchelloni's Pizza in Pontiac. We are inviting the following RWF talents to share the airwaves with us tonight: C-Red Freddie Hudson Rockin' Rivera Shane Foster Jim Spraggon We may also be joined by our friends Rick "Crusher" Knopf and Tina Gant. Get ready for a fun night.

The Impact Wrestling pay per view had some major title changes, one of which signaled the end of two people with the promotion. In addition, someone whom we have been discussing made his debut, and we're sure someone else we have been discussing is not happy about it. There is more news on the Lucha Underground front and once again it's not good for the company. This time the actions involve friends and past guests of ours, some of whom are already signed and even working at other promotions. AEW has announced the participants in the Over The Budget Battle Royal for Double Or Nothing and many of the names on there might surprise you. Also, on the newest episode of "Being The Elite" a situation that Steve made a bold prediction on came another step closer to reality. We will also play the promo Cody Rhodes did hyping the match with his older brother Dustin. Suffice to say it is epic. Is there real life heat between Madusa Micelli and Allisyn "Sienna" Kay following Saturday's Crockett Cup? There have been some comments on Twitter concerning the former Women's Champion and the condition she was in as well as some very strong words between the two, leaving fans confused and divided. The reworked Bray Wyatt is not only doing dark things in the Firefly Fun House segments, he's now extending them to Twitter. His latest Twitter post addresses a past friend turned enemy and it will creep you out, we guarantee it! Get ready for a good discussion, including a Money In The Bank spoiler that will have many of you happy.

Last week we announced Nick Brubaker had messaged us to back out of his bookings at both the RWF events in June and September. We could have accepted this if it were a one off situation. However, in the last two weeks SEVERAL people who had committed to RWF events "suddenly" had "conflicts" or "opportunities". WHY are these things suddenly happening, with slightly over a month to go before the first date, and more importantly, WHO is behind getting in these wrestlers ears and heads and getting them to give up GUARANTEED MONEY? Tonight, Sean and Steve, in their positions as owners/promoters of the RWF, along with several other RWF associates, are going to call out EVERYONE who has cancelled and the people who may probably be behind them. This is NOT going to be pretty, in fact, it's going to get downright UGLY and people are probably going to get VERY angry about being exposed. Get buckled in, it's going to be a BUMPY ride!

Steve met Bill Alfonso in 2001 at an event hosted by a mutual friend. A few weeks ago Steve reached out to him on Instagram and Bill readily agreed to join us tonight. Bill started his carrer as a referee. He refereed for Championship Wrestling From Florida, the legendary territory run by Dusty Rhodes as well as being an NWA referee, World Championship Wrestling and WWF referee as well. In fact, his introduction into ECW was as a referee. We'll talk about Bill's history in wrestling, his favorite road stories, and maybe even have a few surprise guests.

Bray Wyatt is creepy once again! RAW premiered the reworked Bray Wyatt last night in a vignette that is recieving a mix of reviews. Along with that we got the return of AJ Styles to prominence, a further set up for the Money In The Bank title match between Becky 2 Belts and Lacey Fashion Plate, and ROBERT ROOD trying to channel RICK RUDE. Is AEW setting up an intergender match at Double Or Nothing with the winner getting to keep a gimmick? That's what it looks like according to the latest episode of "Being The Elite". There are also even more signings to the roster. Ronda Rousey has talked about her injury at WrestleMania and her family plans. We were alerted to a story that came out on Twitter where an independent wrestler who had his gimmick destroyed this past weekend which was not in the booking of the match and the independent star who came to his aid. An NWA champion is relinquishing their title and we will tell you who it is. Tonight's SmackDown Live is scheduled to have WWE Champion Kofi Kingston defending his title against Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura should have Rusev and Lana in his corner while Kingston is set to be accompanied by his New Day partner Xavier Woods and temporary member "Big O" Kevin Owens. Will this be the night Owens turns or will he stay face for a while longer? Jeff Hardy suffered an injury this weekend at a house show. Obviously the severity of the injury could have an impact on the Hardy's SDL tag team title run. All this, plus a statement concerning Rebellion Rising TONIGHT.

We covered some of the Superstar Shake Up last night, including the shocking release requests issued by Luke Harper and Alexander Wolfe. Tonight we go even farther, including long range plans for certain superstars, even those not mentioned on either show. In other news, we'll talk about some information recently shared with Jim Cornette that affects his personal bottom line. AEW Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes has finally announced her return to the ring. Ring Of Honor has made an announcement concerning some new items that will be coming soon. Impact Wrestling has announced another joint show, and you will be shocked who they are partnering with. John Cena not only talks about Roman Reigns, but is slated for a new film project, part of a franchise that competes with Batista. Impact also is releasing one wrestler who hasn't been seen in a while, but they are also preparing to re-sign someone who hasn't been seen in quite a long time, but apparently wasn't successful at the competition. A wrestler announces his retirement from the business at only 22 years old. All of these stories and more with Jess, Katie, Sean and Steve, TONIGHT.

We just got shook up with the news that former Wyatt Family member and Bludgeon Brother Luke Harper has requested his release from WWE. Add this to "Is she gone or isn't she?" Sasha Banks and a lot of potential creative plans for WWE are apparently up in the air. Monday night introduced RAW fans to the current NXT tag champions, War Mach, er, War Raid, er, The Viking Expreience, Hans, er, Ybar and Erik. Who is coming up with this crap? And they wonder why Sasha goes AWOL and Harper requested his release. Tonight, supposedly, Vince McMahon is going to announce "The biggest acquisition in SmackDown Live history". Now unless Conor McGregor shows up, expect this to be as disappointing as last night. Speaking of disappointment, both Becky 2 Belts and Bully Ray were busy on Twitter ripping people at WWE. Becky layed a harsh comment on the match her new rival, Lacey Evans, or as Becky calls her, New Charlotte, had with Natalya, and Bully went after WWE creative over the use, or he feels misuse, of someone he shared a locker room with. NJPW continues taking the US by storm. After their very successful joint show with Ring Of Honor at Madison Square Garden they are lining up a Summer tour and they have annonced not only a date and location, but it's a major arena in a major city. Adam Rose recently had a serious health scare that we will talk about. Nia Jax also is on the shelf for an extended period. With partner Tamina apparently unhappy and looking to leave who knows where or when the Irresistable Force will show up next. All this, along with news about The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, AEW and more, with Jess, Katie, Steve and Sean...TONIGHT!

TONIGHT on Rampage Rants TNT we discuss all the things that happened last week in New York & surrounding areas including ROH, NXT, The HOF, WrestleMania, RAW, Smackdown, & SO Much More! Sean will bring tonights HOT TOPIC & so much more!

We always jokingly say that WrestleMania is so long that the pre show starts right after SmackDown Live goes off the air. Now of course that wouldn't be smart, considering that WWE was already competing against itself as "205 Live" was running on WWE Network at the same time the second season of "Miz & Mrs" premiered on USA Network. I guess Vince figures if people are watching something WWE, even if it watching one causes the other to lose viewers, it's OK. Tonight NXT presents its go home show prior to TakeOver New York. While the matches are all known, you have to wonder if there will be some surprises tonight that will make what is always a must watch event even stronger. AEW is certainly making sure their name stays in the conversation with three new hires in the non wrestling area, including two former WWE personalities, one we had talked about last night which was made official today. There is also a new mini series about some of the less glamorous side of wrestling. There are several stories that have had "official" versions that have been told, but now, they are being told by people on the inside who aren't afraid to tell the truth. All of these stories and more, including news about the possible long awaited debut of a former NXT star...TONIGHT

Evolution Radio Network Proudly Presents: Rampage Rants Tuesday Night Turmoil with your hosts "Sadistic" Sean David & "Khaotic" Katie TONIGHT on Rampage Rants TNT: WWE Wrestlemania is right around the corner and Vinnie Mac is pulling out all the stops there were some segments on RAW that were changed last minute as they are looking to pull off one of the LONGEST pay-per-views they have ever had. We discuss what took place on the go home show for RAW & Tonight's Smackdown event plus we give you a look at tomorrow nigth's NXT and this weekends NXT Takeover, we discuss this weekends WWE Hall of Fame Inductions, & of course the BIG event itself WRESTLEMAINIA! We also discuss the other big events that are taking place this weekend that you need to tune into because some of these other events are just as star-studed as WRESTLEMANIA itself! Don't forget the RAW aftre WRESTLEMANIA is always one of the most entertaining & pumped up crowds WWE has each year so it will be a VERY interesting RAW this coming Monday Night. We also discuss the news surrouding next months AEW pay-per-view Double or Nothing! We also bring you all the other news and rumors surrounding the major companies. We then discuss the looming subjects of the Independents and bring you the news and rumors of some the the biggest shows happening this week in what is being called on of the BIGGEST Wrestling blasts to that area with all the events there this week. Then our own "Sadistic" Sean David delivers another RAMPAGE RANT like only he can, but this time Katie joins him as someone frome another company wanted to go public with something concerning Sean because they thought that was an acceptable thing to do and did it to try to hurt Sean and RWF. Sean also says something about another situation that happened over the weekend All of THIS and so MUCH more TONIGHT on RAMPAGE RANTS TUESDAY NIGHT TURMOIL!

Our good friend, promoter Tina Gant will be joining us again. We don't know who she might bring on with her but she is always fun to talk to and has a lot of opinions about wrestling. She is very knowledgeable and we appreciate her sharing that knowledge with our listeners. In other news, is Alexa Bliss trying to do a Carmella in terms of changing her look in order to cultivate positive fan reaction? Can't get to the NJPW/ROH G1 Supercard? Don't worry, there will be a way to see it. Canadian TV premiers a documentary about former New Japan and current AEW star Kenny Omega. We also find out about if he could have done the G1 Supercard. If you wonder where ring announcer JoJo Offerman has been well she has just announced some big news, and if the rumors are true, this news involves another WWE star. The reaction to last night's shocking title match and change on SmackDown live is being met with the same reaction the announcement of Kurt Angle's final opponent has been. The thing is, it seems like this has been just like a lot of the other things that have been happening on WWE television, and you'd be right. Speaking of being upset about a match, someone's unhappy about Kofi Kingston getting a shot at Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. We'll discuss all of these things and whatever else comes to mind, TONIGHT!

We're a couple of weeks away from WrestleMania and the tribute to one of the biggest stars of all of wrestling and turned it into a joke! Speaking of jokes, Eric Bischoff continues to be a joke as a recent Twitter war with Jim Cornette shows that the man who bankrupted WCW actually believes Cornette's gimmick is real! WrestleMania week is providing quite a number of wrestling and meet and greet events. We have already talked about the ROH/NJPW meet and greet but we have a listing of the non WWE events. Some of it is good, some of it could actually be used in our "Craptastic Wrestling" ad! As far as the WrestleMania main event goes a certain wrestler gets live entrance music (get ready Katie). A former WWE manager has made a return to the business and he is managing the nephew of the man he managed during his time in WWE. Another WWE star loses part of his name, a UFC star is set to appear at AAA's Triplemania XXVII, someone besides Corey Graves has a thing for Mandy Rose, but it isn't mutual, Joey Ryan makes an announcement, Tommy Dreamer gets a video game and MORE! Join Katie, Steve and Sean TONIGHT!

Thanks go out to our good friend Tina Gant who got Tracy back on for us. There are certain names that remind wrestling fans of certain territories or promotions. When it comes to wrestling in the South, the name of Tracy Smothers, much like his contemporaries Tommy "Wildfire" Rich, "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer, Ole and Arn Anderson, makes you think of a time when cable TV was young and wrestling fans were being exposed to wrestling in different areas of the country and certain regional promotions started to go national. Tracy is probably best known to fans as one half of The Wild Eyed Southern Boys with Steve Armstrong. Tracy and Steve wrestled in various promotions throughout the South. Tracy also was the inaugural Smoky Mountain Wrestling Beat The Champ Television Champion and was part of the faction called The THUGS. After a short sint in the then WWF Tracy moved to Paul Heyman's ECW where he became the leader of The Full Blooded Italians, with the joke being that only one member of the team, Little Guido was in fact actually Italian. Tracy has also run several wrestling schools where he trains and guides the next generation of the business. We are happy to bring Tracy back to our airwaves and hope you will enjoy hearing from this great star.

We don't like to body shame but we have to ask, what is up with Dana Brooke's mouth? It looks like she had plates put in to make it look like a duck's bill! Maybe that's why Ronda Rousey messed her up so bad and then went after the security guys, including some RWF talent. Now we know tonight is Kofi Kingston's "Trial By Fire" to see if he can "earn" his spot at WrestleMania. Now we know it's not going to take up the entire two hours as we found out last night the Women's Tag Team Champions, Sasha Banks and Bailey, will be appearing, most likely to take on The Iconics. Miz is slated to address Shane McMahon and there will probably be more brawling between Charlotte and Becky, with the only question being will Ronda make another appearance after last night's obliteration of Dana Brooke, another referee and a security guy, thanks to Ronda's husband Travis Browne. The tag match slated for AEW's first official pay per view, Double Or Nothing, now has a potential added element thanks to a new championship The Young Bucks aquired. On the ROH/NJPW front, they have announced the meet and greets for the week of their joint Madison Square Garden card, and it is loaded. There's also word that one of their top female stars' contracts is ending soon. Will she stay or will she go, and if she does, where will she go? All this, plus some horrible word about a wrestler who apparantly was deliberately injured under orders from another promoter, TONIGHT!

In the territory days of wrestling there were certain areas of the country that stood out for the quality of performers and stories that had almost mythical standings among fans, even if they could not see them in the pre cable TV era. Because PWI was based out of Pennsylvania, the then WWWF automatically took a large part of the coverage. But fans were also aware of the AWA in the Midwest, Sam Munchnick in St. Louis with Harley Race, Paul Boesch in Houston with the Funk Brothers, and Memphis, home of Jerry "The King" Lawler. When you talk about Memphis, you obviously talk about Lawler. You also,however, discuss names such as Bill Dundee, Austin Idol, Lanny Poffo and his brother "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and many others. One of the most consistent names in that situation is Randy Hales. Randy has been a fixture for decades in the Memphis region. He has served as commentator, manager, promoter and booker throughout his years in the business.He has a load of stories about the Memphis scene and how many of the legendary guys you see now get their start in the Memphis territroy. We are honored to have a man of Randy's stature joining us tonight and we hope you will enjoy the variety of stories he has to share. http://randyhalesmemphiswrestling.com

Did Conrad Thompson and Tony Khan slip Bruce Pritchard back into WWE as a confederate in order to screw things up for Vince McMahon? One has to wonder considering recent WWE programming, including Sunday night's almost meanningless pay per view, FastLane. Is WWE going to be losing more talent? There are some hot rumors concerning two stars you haven't seen much of in a while. At the same time WWE has signed three new talents, one of whom is a second generation talent, the son of an 80s WWE talent. Yes, there actually WAS a point behind Braun Strowman destroying another car last night. The thing is, it's probably NOT the point that you think it is. WWE has also announced ANOTHER corporate partnership. The Hall Of Fame ceremony this year will have differences, including the host for the event. Jerry Lawler is OUT, wait until you hear who may be IN. In New Japan, a new Bullet Club member emerges, meanwhile, one of the legends, not just of Japanese wrestling, but wrestling in general, is revealing he is going to hang up the tights. The Jim Ross rumor mill is grinding away as the WWE Hall Of Fame member's contract is set to expire in slightly over two weeks. We will discuss all these things and MORE right after SmackDown Live TONIGHT!

We are grateful to our good friend Tina Gant for making tonight's show possible. The Rock 'n' Roll Express were the epitome of tag team wrestling in the heyday of tag teams in the 80s. With their signature tights adorned with scarves to thier double dropkick finisher, the duo, created by Jerry Lawler, became one of the biggest attractions in the entire professional wrestling industry. From Memphis to Mid South, Jim Crockett Promotions to Smoky Mountain and beyond, Ricky & Robert captured the hearts and imaginations of the wrestling public. Their matinee idol looks along with their in ring talent made them in demand all over the world. We are going to have Ricky Morton with us, hopefully Robert will be joining us as well. This will be an opportunity to learn the art of wrestling by one of the foremost purveyors of the art. We hope you will enjoy it.

Waking up this morning to the news of the passing of Chris "King Kong Bundy" Pallies was quite a shock. Steve and Chris became good friends, having met in the early 90s at Windy City Wrestling. He will share a couple of stories at the start of tonight's broadcast. There is more controversy to cover on the independent wrestling scene, both wrestlers and fans making the news. Did an independent wrestler get targeted because of his relationship to the daughter of a Hall Of Famer? Another wrestler has a domestic abuse record discovered and racism rears its ugly head at an independent show in Alabama. We have reached out to both him and his wife to join us tonight to discuss it. As you can well figure when an incident like this occurrs, the parties involved get innundated with interview requests, we are hoping they can join us, even for a short time. We now have more information on the Arn Anderson firing and it doesn't look good for not only the Hall Of Famer but a certain female superstar. RAW last night was the first show since Bruce Pritchard officially came back on board and there were some big differences, most notably the Ronda Rousey promo and her subsequent attack on Becky Lynch, who is now scheduled, even though she is "injured" to face Charlotte Flair on Sunday to determine the challenger for the RAW Women's Title at WrestleMania. The Blue brand is suffering even more InjureMania besides Becky. Alexa Bliss is apparenly hurt again and Mandy Rose dropped SmackDown Women's Champion Asuka on her head at a house show last night. Other than that there aren't a lot of solid clues as to what to expect tonight. Join Steve, Jess and Katie as we cover these and other stories as we get ready to welcome Hall Of Famer Ricky Morton, hopefully Robert Gibson as well, tomorrow night

Tonight we welcome back a long time friend of the show, promoter Tina Gant. Tina has been away for an extended period due to medical issues, but she is back, and she is back, not walking, but running. Tonight Tina, along with Justin Case, Dakota Reilly, possibly The Bone Crushers and Gary Wolridge will discuss the upcoming EPW and SPWA events. The Friday night event will feature WWE Hall Of Fame member and now All Elite Wrestling producer Billy Gunn. This should be an interesting evening talking about wrestling in the South and the possible influence the new promotion, and to some extent, the attempts to revive the NWA. This should be a fun evening, we hope you will enjoy it.

While the fans wonder if Ronda Rousey actually left WWE last night and laying down the belt was to make it dramatic and give her an open door to return after either a break or having a baby (we'll discuss those rumors tonight) there were some actual releases, including one that was very shocking. Meanwhile, over at Impact, two current roster members re-signed and a new face was added. In other news, Tammy Sytch is arrested, AGAIN, Sabu got booted off Twitter, and there's some VERY interesting news concerning Mark Callaway. On a more serious note, last night we were alerted to the news last night concerning the health of an independent wrestler who had competed in the Midwest. It begs the question about regulation, or at least whether there needs to be some checking on the health of wrestlers. We'll have some fun, but we will also have some serious discussion, we hope you will enjoy it.

No, we didn't add Vince Vaughn to our host team (only a few of you will get the joke) but we are taking our show tonight (sadly, not literally) to Sin City to talk to two very talented and unique performers. No matter how you write her name, Desi De Rata, Deside Rata, Desiderata, or however you do it, this grappler from Reno is making a mark throughout the industry. In addition to matches against well known names such as Taya Valkyrie and Heather Monroe, she has also been in the ring with many past guests of our show, including Sage Sin, Ruby Raze, and The Stoner Brothers. Along with wrestling, she is also an accomplished Ju Jitsu fighter AND a stilt walker! Brooklyn born Santana Jackson has found success in and out of the ring in Vegas. Jackson, who can boast of a mixed Puerto Rican and Italian heritage, performs as a Michael Jackson tribute artist and has been seen throughout the country. He even incorporates The King Of Pop's moves as part of his in ring repitoire. We hope you will enjoy these two very unique wrestlers as much as we are going to enjoy bringing them to you

Evolution Radio Network Proudly Presents: One of the LONGEST Running Pro Wrestling Podcasts on ALL of Blog Talk Radio Rampage Rants Tuesday Night Turmoil! TONIGHT ON RAMPAGE RANTS TNT: Sunday's Elimination Chamber was met with mixed reactions from all of us. We'll discuss the event and our reactions to it. We will be going into TMZ mode tonight as well, discussing rumors about relationships between certain WWE personalities and their spouses. If you're upset by the current state of the RAW Women's Title match you're most likely going to be VERY upset by the WWE Championship match slated for WrestleMania. DX headed to the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2019 we will discuss this & the other rumored entrants for this years celebration. All of this, along with AEW, ROH and AAA news TONIGHT! Plus as usual we are sure our own "Sadistic" Sean David will have something to get off his chest. The girls will bring the fun as they ALWAYS do, and the old man will remmeniace about the good old days. So join your hosts "The Dean of Wrestling Referees" Steve Cain, "Sadistic" Sean David, "Khaotic" Katie, & Ms. Malice Mayhem for what promises to be 2 FULL hours of PURE Professional Wrestling Talk! Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WrestlingAuthorityRadio/

Note: We scheduled the first hour before the news of Pedro's passing broke. We are going to honor him in hour 2. In hour 1 we are going to be joined by East Coast independent wrestler who has been on Ring Of Honor, Greywolf Raventhorne. This big man, who looks like he came out of a "Game Of Thrones" or "Vikings" episode is a graduate of our friend Danny Cage's Monster Factory. We'll talk about developing the character, where he has worked at and what his plans are. When Steve started making calls yesterday after Pedro Morales' passing had been confirmed, the second call he made was to our friend, former WWF Spanish TV head and current AAA announcer and worldwide lucha libre promoter and commentator Hugo Savinovich. Hugo was not only friends with Pedro, he helped him transition from wrestler to broadcaster. As busy as he is, with having flown to Puerto Rico right off of doing AAA in Mexico City Saturday night, Hugo was gracious enough to agree to come on and share stories about his friend. We hope you will enjoy both hours tonight and will listen to both of our shows every week.

So the weather has you stuck inside, eh bunky? Well don't worry, your crew of crazies will keep you entertained for two hours or so. Did Vince McMahon just troll the entire IWC last night? Or, is he forcing the female version of Roman Reigns on the fans? Even Katie broke back into "It's still real to me" mode when the announcement broke. We will discuss the "change" along with the implications of it, especially on a go home show. For the lucky people who are getting a pre-sale code tomorrow for Double Or Nothing, congratulations. We'll talk about last Thursday's AEW event, the signings and matches announced, and some people who are apparantly listening to offers from the upstart promotion. Lucha Underground is still making news, but not for the right reasons. More unhappy wrestlers are suing the company over what they feel are opportunities being lost because of apparently restrictive contracts. We will discuss the latest star to lawyer up. AAA, whose partnership with AEW was one of the major announcements coming out of last Thursday's Double Or Nothing ticket hype event made a big announcement concerning their broadcasts on Twitch that will probably make their American fans very happy. It's several hours before SmackDown Live but an injurerd superstar has been reported to be in the building. Is this mystery person going to be part of an angle that is already going on or are they slated for something new? We'll discuss all of these things and the proverbail MORE tonight, so get something to drink, grab some snacks and be ready to be entertained with your excellent party hosts, Sean, Steve, Katie & Jess.

As of this moment we do not have a guest lined up. What we will do is talk about SmackDown Live, including that HORRIBLE eye injury suffered by Steve & Sean's friend Mustafa Ali. We will also go through any information or rumors surrounding tomorrow's All Elite Wrestling ticket rally ahead of Double Or Nothing. If we get a guest we will update this.

Tonight we begin with the 10 bells for former NWA Jr. Heavyweight Champion Les Thornton, who passed away a few days ago. There has to be concern in the WWE office as Becky Lynch's knee injury in NOT a storyline, which explains the "suspension" given her last night by Stephanie McMahon. The question then becomes, did Steph pull that kick at Becky's leg enough to avoid further injury? There is more grumbling in the WWE locker room as one of the company's biggest stars expressed frustration over his current role on a podcast hosted by another former WWE personality, and this is not the only complaint being aired by current main roster talent. Meanwhile over in Jacksonville and points beyond, the AEW crew is keeping itself front and center prior to this Thurday's ticket party, with Nick and Matt Jackson apparently getting a verbal commitment from one of the top tag teams in all of North America and several of the major players in atendance at the Super Bowl. Speaking of the big game, was Adam Levine trying to take viewers away from WWE's Halftime Heat by taking his shirt off during Maroon 5's set? If so, he didn't do a good job as the numbers of viewers, at least on social media, seemed to indicate a large interest in the event. The next question is between Heat and Worlds Collide, WWE, at least NXT, seemed to hitch its wagon on one of its youngest stars, now is it temporary, for a few months, or is this a long term plan? We know that there is going to be another Superstar ShakeUp in April, but will it involve just the main rosters, including the call-ups, or will there be NXT talent in that mix? All this and more, including another departure from New Japan and a signing for Ring Of Honor, with Jess, Katie, Steve & Sean - TONIGHT!

We have spoken to only three non wrestling persons in the history of our show, but all had an involvement in the industry. Chet Coppock, legendary Chicago sportscaster who worked both as a ring announcer for the then WWF and was also the voice of WWF Radio. Evan Ginzburg, one of the producers of the legendary film "The Wrestler", and now tonight, Matt Cimber, the man behind GLOW. While not seen in front of the camera, Matt's presence was indelable inside the room in the Riviera Hotel where GLOW was taped. As we know by our interviews with the GLOW girls, Matt is still loved and respected by them. In addition to GLOW, Matt has an exceptonal résumé that includes numerous off Broadway productions and films and launched careers other than the women we talk about and to, including Oscar winner Sandy Dennis. We will talk to Matt about all the aspects of his career, including not only GLOW but his upcoming return to the wrestling industry with a new show formatted similar to his beloved GLOW. Please note, as we mentioned last night, Matt does have some memory issues so his recollections might be incomplete or he might repeat some stories, please indulge this legendary gentleman as he is honoring us tonight with his presence.

The hot story as of early this morning are the reports, which were first generated by Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch, and since has been picked up by several major media outlets, that Dean Ambrose, real name Jon Moxley, has given notice to WWE that he will be ending his run with them when his current contract expires at the end of April. Now of course the immediate speculation is that AEW is looking to sign him. However, Chris Jericho posted a bit of a shot, not just at WWE but at Ring Of Honor and Impact, that seems to state that there really aren't that many guys currently under contract that AEW is interested in. Jericho also posted a direct shot at WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, which he has since deleted but as you all know once something is posted on social media screenshots WILL be taken and you can never really, if you are a major personality, take back your words. NXT TakeOver Phoenix provided a lot of excitement, including two title changes, and several members of the roster being included in both Royal Rumble matches. Speaking of the Rumble, was the fact that a certain newcomer to the main roster given a microphone at the start of their match an indication that Vince is banking on that person to lead their roster on whichever show they wind up on? If you're comfortable with the idea of Ronda Rousey facing Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Title at WrestleMania, don't be. It looks like there's a further plan in place that we will discuss. There was also a rumor regarding Rousey that was very quickly corrected and we will discuss that as well. Ember Moon will be on the shelf for an undetermined amount of time. We'll tell you why Moon is going to be out and yes, the injury occurred Sunday. We also have possible spoilers due to local advertisements regarding Fastlane. As always your crazy crew will keep you informed and entertained as you try to stay warm.

Last night we introduced JESS BLUE as our new co-host. Tonight, we toss her right into the fire! We always love when we can bring the GLOW girls on, and tonight is no different. With David McClain, the originator of GLOW returning to TV this past Friday as part of the AXS TV Friday Night Fights lineup with WOW we'll see if the girls watched the new show and if so, how it differs, if they believe it does, from GLOW. Joining us tonight (Card Subject To Change)- NOELLE "MAJOR TANYA" ROSE SHARON "CHAINSAW" "ARLENE" JOHNSTON APRIL "ROYAL HAWAIIAN" ENRIQUEZ AND OTHER SURPRISES As always, the stories of life as a GLOW girl in that day is an adventure in itself, and they enjoy sharing with our listeners as much as we enjoy hearing them Get ready for a lot of fun and laughs with the women who pioneered the art of making women the main event.

Make sure you listen tomorrow night as it will be LADIES NIGHT with GLOW girls Noelle Rose, Sharon Johnston, April Enriquez and more. This morning Court Bauer, owner of Major League Wrestling, made a major announcement concerning a new sponsor for the promotion, and the sponsor is a major player in advertising on sporting events. On the AEW front, the main players, Cody and The Young Bucks, have been invading various indie promotions and causing quite a reaction. They are also set to sign the son of an 80s TV teen heartthrob who has been making a splash on the indie scene. Cody has also indicated a willingness to take on a group of athletes who are starting to make a big noise in wrestling. The AEW situation is definitely causing major waves in Stamford as another major name has supposedly turned down a position within the company planning on a post ring future. There are also reports that Vince is apparantly ready to make some major offers in order to keep people. On the WWE front, might we be hearing a familiar laugh on TV in the near future? There is supposedly some WONDERFUL news on the horizon. There has also been some more information coming out concerning the situation with The Revival and why they are allegedly unhappy. There may also be another return happening soon as one of the long time stalwarts of WWE is in Orlando for tests to see if he can be cleared to return to the ring. Speaking of returns, Alexa Bliss officailly announced her return to action beginning Sunday. It was during that announcement that Lacey Evans made her first official live audience appearance, and let's just say it didn't go as well as she, and probably Vince, expected. After last night's good go home version of RAW, SmackDown Live will be set to give us action leading into Sunday. Get ready for a fun night of talk.

Ladies and gentlemen, war has been declared! No, not the kind with guns and missles, the kind with contracts, lawyers and agents. Earlier today, in what may be a sign of things to come Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder, known collectively as The Revival, have, according to reports, asked for their release from WWE. This comes at a time when the billionaire Khan family, who are backing the Cody & Brandi Rhodes/ Nick & Matt Jackson project known as All Elite Wrestling are looking at potential talent to sign. While Dawson & Wilder had two runs as NXT tag champs, a combination of injuries and just a seeming lack of concern and interest by WWE management, have kept the brawling old school team fom realizing what many feel is a much deserved run with the RAW tag titles. We know that Cody & The Bucks have used the hashtag #FTR on social media, but was that a shot on the duo or an invitation when the time came for the two well respected teams to meet? Speaking of people unhappy with a contract, a friend of Steve & Sean's is apparently unhappy with her contract with a major TV show and is still trying to obtain her release. We'll divluge who it is and which fellow roster member is publicly supporting her. Speaking of wars, we'll discuss the talent that may jump, has already jumped, and who don't seem likely to jump. In addition, we will discuss WrestleKingdom 13, NXT UK TakeOver Blackpool, Friday's WOW premier on AXS TV and much more. We might still get a call in from Mel ThunderRosa/Kobra Moon Cervantes but even if we don't your favorite hosts Katie, Sean and Steve will inform and entertain you for two hours.

Last week we began an espose on wrestling "promoter" Rex Gil and his treatment of females, including underage females, in his locker room. During that show, one of our guests, Jess Blue, talked not only about the situation in Mt. Pulaski, but some areas Rex apparantly may have stolen in shady business dealings with a promoter in Indiana. Tonight we get into more detail concerning the Indiana situation, and from what we've been told in advance it's not going to look good for the parties involved. Once again we will have Jess Blue with us and along with her will be our investigative reporter Crimefighter, who has unearthed some potentially damaging information concerning the Indiana situation. According to Jess, she has passed on information to us that Alex, who supplied Jess with a statement about the harassment she received and Jess read last week, is now being victim shamed by the perpetrators of the act and his associates. We are going to turn Jess loose - UNCENSORED! With any remaining time we will start to cover some of the news happening around the wrestling world, including: Does AEW already have a TV deal? Two potential serious injuries at the ROH tapings. Why was Braun Strowman pulled from Royal Rumble? How many viewers watched Impact Wrestling Friday? Get ready for another big controversial evening of wrestling talk.

Tonight again might touch on some subjects that could be difficult for younger or more sensitive listeners. Discretion is advised. Jamie Senegal is a very young man just starting to make waves on the independent wrestling scene. Only 20 years old, the DJ Hyde trained competitor has been in the ring against talent that are currently working with all the major companies, including NXT, Lucha Underground, Impact Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling. He has also competed in Women Superstars Uncensored. If you're scratching your head on that you wouldn't be alone. The difference between Senegal and many other wrestlers is that like Sonny Kiss, AKA XOLicious from Lucha Underground, who he has faced, Senegal is openly gay. While that may or may not be an issue, depending on your philosophical bent, he has a legitimate opponent that you can't see. Jamie Senegal suffers from clinical depression. Tonight's episode, however, is not desigend to be a pity session. While he may battle depression in varying degrees on a daily basis, Jamie overcomes his condition on a daily basis in order to entertain audiences all over. We will discuss being gay in a world that prides itself on the machismo of its male performers, being the victim of a hack of personal pictures from his phone, and overcoming all of these things in order to travel and entertain. Be prepared to laugh, cry, hear stories, but overall celebrate the continuing forward battle of a young man who refuses to lose, at least in real life.

WARNING-There probably WILL be graphic details of allegations against this "promoter", including descriptions of attempted acts and messages sent by the social media accounts of this "promoter". Tonight's program is NOT for younger or more sensitive listeners. Someone whom we have spoken about many times in the past on this program for unsafe ring conditions, using untrained wrestlers and other such acts has now been accused of some VERY serious potential criminal activity. This past weekend he was accused of attempted sexual assault. We have also been alerted that this is not the first time this has happened with this particular person. Tonight we will be speaking to the latest attempted victim of this person. We have also reached out to another person whom he is alleged to have attacked. As of this moment we have not heard back from the other alleged victim. We have reached out to elected officials and the area business group of the town he runs in so that they can hear what is apparently happening withing their borders. Once again, there will be descriptions and messages that will be disturbing to some people, however, in order to maintain the integrity of the business, we feel this is necessary to bring to the attention of the public. In addition to this case, we will also be bringing to you the estranged wife of another Midwest based independent wrestler who has experienced abuse at the hands of her wrestler husband. As a note, this is someone Steve and Sean used on the first Wrestle Wars event, however, they were not aware of his issues. He will no longer be used by RWF and we are trying with this program to make sure other promoters are aware of this person and his issues so that they do not ruin their reputations by booking him.

Two days into the year and we have already lost a legend. You didn't even have to follow wrestling to know who Mean Gene Okerlund was. The phrase "Let me tell you something Mean Gene" became a staple, not just in wrestling but in life. Gene started his career working for Verne Gagne and the AWA, replacing Marty O'Neill in the role. Soon, Gene's mastery of the English language and his willingness to both engage with his subjects, even to the point of being the subject of the joke in trying on Andre The Giant's sport coat and letting Andre cover his face with his massive hand. He left the AWA right around the same time as Hulk Hogan for the then WWF. After many years there he moved to rival WCW and stayed there until Vince McMahon bought and shut down the promotion. He eventually returned to WWE where he was inducted into the Hall Of Fame. Tonight we will be talking with people who worked with Gene and who loved him in general. We will also play several interviews Gene conducted, including probably he biggest one he did, the night Hulk Hogan turned his back on WCW and helped create the nWo. Join us as we pay tribute to one of the best men to ever hold a microphone in pro wrestling.

Unfortunately we start the year with the toll of the final bell as former AWA enhancement talent and independent wrester Trevor Adonis passed away early this morning at the age of 53. In more pleasant news, in a episode of "Being The Elite" that was published on their YouTube channel early this morning the rumors were confirmed. Not only is All Elite Wrestling an actual entity, but Double Or Nothing, the follow up to 2018's highly successful ALL IN will occur sometime this year. We will discuss the current available news on the promotion, the major sports owner helping to back the new company, and any other information we have. In WWE news, attendence figures at live events on the current tour were noticeably down. Even Madison Square Garden, the place many still consider WWE's home, had empty seats on the Saturday before Christmas, usually a night many people would attend. Is there legit heat between Tye Dillenger and Nia Jax? Dillenger's recent scathing response to Nia's scathing response to a tweet put out by WWE seems to indicate that is the case, and we will discuss it. Will the changes WWE is planning to impliment, including moving up NXT roster members going to help in terms of bringing back viewers and increase live event attendance? We'll let you know exactly what we think about that possibility as well. All this, plus our reviews of RAW IS TAPED and SmackDown Not Live with Steve, Sean and Katie, TONIGHT!

TODAY! TODAY! TODAY! EXTRA.... EXTRA.... HEAR ALL ABOUT IT! It has been brought to Steve & Sean's attention that a certain CHAIRTABLE orgainzation running events in Central & Southern Illinois has been contacting the roster Sean & Steve have set for RWF Rebellion Rising. It was brought to Sean's attention last nighjt that the Vice President of this organization has been trash talking Sean & Steve to theirt talent at events they attend that Sean & Steve's workers are at. Well last night they told the wrong person who reported it back to Sean. This is after Sean cleared the air with the organizations president and invited them up to come sell merch in June for their cause. Their vice president has been SLAMMING Sean on a message board under a PRETEND Screen Name... This "vice president" is responsible for helping REX GILL.... you remember Rex Gill don't you? The guy that thought it would be a GOOD idea to use BUBBLEWRAP as PADDING on his ring... The guy that put a 16 year old that wasn't ready in the ring with him injured the kid, then couldnt even go to the hospital after the event to make sure the kid was ok... Rex Gill has been, is, and always will be the CANCER of the Illinois Wrestling Scene. Due to Sean and Steve putting their feet down and saying they will NOT allow someone to work for this "Charitable Orgainzation" that is trying to destroy their product we have some changes for RWF Rebellion Rising which we will announce during this program. We will into great depth of what this "charitable organization has tried to do to RWF and go more in depth on how their "vice president" is helping HHCW and Rex Gill. ALL of this and SO much MORE! Today LIVE on a very SPECIAL edition of Rampage Rants. Join Steve & Sean for an hour of PURE Professional Wrestling Discussion LIVE and hear the SPECIAL REPORT!

1/2 of the Tag Team known collectively as The Brute Crue Kurt Alexzander was trained by Christian Rose in 2015 and has been wrestling the independents ever since. An alumni of the RWF will make his return this June to the area he calls home. 1/2 of The RCW Honor & Legacy Tag Team Champions Alexzander is making waves everywhere he goes.We will talk to him about his career thus far and his goals as well as the tag teams goals for 2019. In addition to Alexzander we may be joined by other members of the RCW roster to talk about their event that will take place this Saturday in Litchfield Illinois. We will then be disuccsing Raw, Smackdown, & All The Other News & Happenings in The Wrestling World! So join "Sadistic" Sean David, "The Dean of Wrestling" Steve Cain, & "Khaotic" Katie for what PROMISES to be 2 FULL Hours of Pure Professional Wrestling Talk LIVE!

We hope that those of you who celebrate the holiday season are enjoying the preparations and have your shopping done. Tonight we hope to give you a little respite from the planning and shopping this week by bringing on a tag team that is getting some national recognition due to the latest program to join the WGN America line-up, RING WARRIORS. The name The Slambinos has been around the wrestling scene for the past several years, the constant in the organization being our long time friend Francisco Ciatso. Now with his partner AJ Jannazzo and with mouthpiece Glen Gilberti the two partners, Ciatso in Florida and Jannazzo in Vegas are not only seen on Ring Warriors but they also have their own YouTube series, “Is It Sauce Or Is It Gravy” which is very entertaining in and of itself. We will also talk about Francisco and Stormie Lee’s biographical documentary “Journeyman” which has received rave reviews and is being seen all over. Get ready to enjoy our last broadcast prior to the Christmas break with America (and Italy’s) favorite “made men”, The Slambinos. Join Katie, Steve, & Sean and their guests for what PROMISES to be 2 FULL hours of PURE PRO WRESTLING TALK!

The “new era” WWE where “You are The Authority” started last night by keeping the crowd stuck for six to seven hours while they sat not only through the live RAW but taping next week's episode. We feel sorry for tonight's SmackDown Live audience as they will probably get all of that PLUS a 205 Live episode. In terms of surprises several call ups were revealed as well as a couple of returning performers. However, one name that probably everyone was hoping for was not in the video packages presented last night. The person not shown did make some comments on their Twitter account. The Elite made their farewell to Ring Of Honor at Final Battle this past Friday and they had a message for the fans. The Elite were not the only ones who left ROH as a long time member of the roster also departed this weekend. Even with that they still managed to sign at least one new talent. The full card for New Japan”s Wrestle Kingdom 13 has been announced and it seems to be another excellent event that we will talk about along with many other items. Join Katie, Steve and Sean TONIGHT!

Tonight we are scheduled to talk to SICW owner/promoter Herb Simmons. We were scheduled to talk to him a few weeks ago about the FITE app. However, a few days before the show, Herb's long time friend and partner in SICW, legendary WRESTLING AT THE CHASE commentator Larry Matysik passed away. This Saturday, Herb and the SICW crew put on an event to pay tribute to Larry, including a major steel cage match. With our remaining time we are going to discuss the question of whether complacency is killing the WWE product. Attendence is dropping not only at non televised house shows but even on RAW and SmackDown Live TV. Entire building sections tarped off, lights only aimed at one side of a building to cover the lack of audience. The ratings numbers are dropping as well, with RAW posting its lowest numbers ever, and this on the go home show prior to their last pay per view of the year. Did buying WCW away from Ted Turner kill Vince McMahon's motivation to make good matches and angles? Has programming everything literally down to the second killed the spark that makes live audiences react and viewers want to turn in? Is there anyone out there that can be a strong number two that can force WWE to step up their game back to the level of the Monday Night Wars? We'll discuss all of this and other items TONIGHT.

ERN Presents Rampag Rants TNT

This morning, once again, the wrestling world was saddened to learn of the passing, on his birthday, of Thomas Billington, known the world over as The Dynamite Kid, one half of The British Bulldogs. We will talk about Tom and his and Davy's continued legacy on the wrestling business. In the news, SmackDown Live had a drop in viewership this week as well. We'll discuss if RAW is having a drag down effect on the Blue Brand. Konnan is voicing his opinion on how WWE is presenting Bobby Lashley. Here's a hint, he's not happy. We also have to discuss Vince McMahon's recent sale of WWE stock and how it may relate to his other ventures.Major League Wrestling is also making waves with what should be an Impact Wrestling dream match. All this and MORE, including the NXT debut of a Ring of Honor mainstay...TONIGHT!

How bad was RAW? Look at the pictures we have posted from people who were there last night! Someone posted a question to a Facebook group last night or this morning that asks about RAW. It's a great question and we will attempt to tackle it tonight. Speaking of tackling, wait until you hear the latest news about Chris Jericho! What was behind Nattie going through that table and Rhyno getting pinned by "Referee" (?) Heath Slater? We have those answers for you as well. As this is being written some news that may end one of the worst few weeks in RAW history has just broken and we will bring it to you! We don't normally like to get personal about our fans, and this is not related to our shows, but one of our biggest fans got rudely insulted last night on Facebook over the RAW attendance issue, and we are going to address it! We also have news concerning Cody, The Young Bucks, Jake Hagger/Jake Strong/Jack Swagger, Shane "Killshot" "Swerve" Strickland, Nick Aldis, Robbie E and many more! Join Steve, Katie and Sean LIVE right after SmackDown Live.

Our original plan, as we discussed last night, was to bring Great North Wrestling promoter and previous guest Hannibal on with our friend SICW promoter Heb Simmons to dicuss their issues with FITE. Because Herb is dealing with the passing of his long time friend and partner, legendary St. Louis wrestling personality Larry Matysik we are postponing that conversation for sometime in December. Thankfully, we have joining us one of our favorite ERN family members and Katie's adopted uncle, former Ohio Valley Wrestling manager, the man who prepared many current WWE stars for the big time, including John Cena (And you STILL owe him residual money Cena!), Kenny Starmaker Bolin. Whenever Kenny is on it's usually fun and laughs as Kenny riffs on everything from wresting to politics and whatever tickles his fancy at the moment. Tonight, however, Kenny is bringing us his serious side. Kenny is very concerned about the issues affecting our world. He has done a lot of research along with bringing in experts from all over to advise him. Based on all of this, Kenny has made a major decision about his future path. Tonight, Kenny Bolin will make an announcement exclusively for our listeners. This announcement will change the face not only of the United States, but of the entire world. Please be prepared for this major announcement. Open your minds, hearts and wallets for this future changing pronouncement from the one and only Kenny Starmaker Bolin.

Last week we reported on the announcement that came out of Oakland's Hoodslam Wrestling. On Thursday a huge announcement concerning New Japan Pro Wrestling came from US television afilliate AXS TV that will change what fans will watch and who they hear. NXT fans are well aware of the size of Lars Sullivan, who will soon be making his main roster debut, although they have kept a tight lid on which roster he will end up on. The question is, outside of the two obvious choices of Braun Strowman if he's on RAW or Big Show if he goes to SmackDown Live, who can WWE use as a legitimate looking opponent for him? That question may have been answered as someone who has been on the WWE radar for a long time is rumored to have signed a contract yesterday. There are also rumors that a former TNA era star may also be close to signing with WWE. On the NXT scene, former NXT Women's Champion Kairi Saine has just revealed she is suffering from a highly unusual disease. NXT UK just made a major announcement that aired on last week's TV. Speaking of TV, Impact is shopping for a new TV deal as the current agreement with POP TV runs out at the beginning of the year. How bad was RAW last night? Someone actually edited Milwuakee's Wikipedia page to reflect how poor it was. We do know that AJ Styles and THE MAN will be at SmackDown tonight so hopefully WWE can salvage something to counteract the disaster Monday night. Get ready for Katie, Steve and Sean to tear it up tonight, and don't forget tomorrow night with the return of our good friend Kenny Starmaker Bolin, who has a MAJOR announcement he will be making that will change America FOREVER!

As we prepare to carve the Thanksgiving turkey, and no, we're not going give Survivor Series the cutting review it deserves, we talk to one of our favorite women wrestlers from the West Coast, "The Fallen Flower" Kikyo. Now while the past several months since her RISE debut have not been the best, first suffering a broken collarbone shortly after arriving in Japan, and more recently an ACL tear, the future does look bright for this West Coast warrior. We'll discuss the injuries themselves, how long she expects to be on the shelf, and her plans for the future. Join Katie, Steve, and the REAL turkey Sean, as we talk with one of the up and coming stars of our industry.

What an incredible past several days. Please note, depending on circumstances, we may be covering part of these stories tomorrow night on Wrestling Authority Radio based on time constraints. WWE has been incredibly busy with NXT TakeOver this past Saturday, Survivor Series on Sunday, RAW Monday and SmackDown Live Tuesday. Now while TakeOver was well planned and set out, the Becky Lynch injury put Survivor Series into panic mode, with a lot of changes having to be worked out between Tuesday, after Becky had been examined by doctors, and most likely Thursday, when the plans must have had to be finalized so they could go over scripts with the producers and talent. Speaking of scripts, the Charlie Caruso/Daniel Bryan encounter that you saw on Sunday was NOT how it was originally written. We will tell you literally word for word what the original scene called for. Survivor Series also had a visitor who didn't quite recieve the warm welcome I'm sure they thought they were going to. The same person also had another incident just a few days prior to Sunday. There were also reports about former WWE performer James Ellsworth and former ECW performer Sabu, both involving the same person, and in Sabu's case, there were comments involving Jim Ross as well. We also have news concerning a current Ring Of Honor star who may be headed to WWE as well as a Lucha Underground star and past guest of our show. Be ready to call in because if we go covering everything we will be going beyond our two hours of "live" time.

Tonight is going to be very controversial as we are going to continue to cover the hottest topic in the industry right now. After a review of last night's SmackDown Live we will discuss more about the Becky Lynch/Nia Jax situation which is blowing up all over social media as well as the NXT War Games go home episode. After that, we have a couple of other hot subjects that will stoke some fires. First, we have been alerted to a wrestler who apparently has been sending out messages, not just to other wrestlers, but to fans as well. Second, we have been alerted to another promoter who apparently has been sexually harassing people. Get ready for the conversation to get hot and heavy.

Becky Lynch is OUT for Survivor Series! A concussion, combined with a broken nose has put "The Man" on the shelf for an undetermined amount of time, which leaves SmackDown Live scrambling tonight as creative tries to come up with a suitable opponent for "The Baddest Woman On The Planet". There might be one solution, as a certain Hall Of Famer is reportedly backstage in St. Louis who is related to one of the SDL women. There is now a point to this year's Mixed Match Challenge, and it involves Royal Rumble. We've also found out that Hall Of Famers have problems just like the rest of us. The Undertaker's son has talked about his life plans and they don't involve joining the family business. Cody has also issued an update on his condition from a recent injury. We'll talk about all of these things, plus a whole lot more. Join Katie, Sean and Steve tonight right after SmackDown Live.

Tonight should be one of those fun, entertaining nights that we as hosts love to present to you our listeners. We have quite a bit scheduled so as the expression goes, you can't tell the players without a program, so here is the program: A. Our occasional contributor Crimefighter will join us to talk about the upcoming Pinfall Wrestling Association event which will be held this weekend in Springfield, IL. B. Scott County Wrestling, run by the Black & Brave Wrestling Academy (yes, this IS the training school co-owned by that long haired guy you see on TV on Monday nights) will talk about their event which will be the following week in Walcott, IA. C. Trevor Murdoch will be joining us. Outside situations forced him to reschedule until tonight. The two time WWE tag team champion will talk about his current run on the independent scene, including leading seminars. D. Mike Knox will also be with us. The former WWE, ECW and TNA performer will be quizzed about working with Kelly Kelly, CM Punk, Bully Ray as part of Aces & Eights and the very unique group known as The Menagerie. Have your questions ready, we will take the best questions posted in the chat room.

The past few days have not been good for WWE in terms of public perception. First was the controversial Crown Jewel. Between the location, the controversial Universal Championship match, the even more controversial "World Cup" final and the main event, which caused WWE EVP Paul "Triple H" Levesque to have surgery this morning to reattach his torn pectoral muscle, the fallout has been swift and negative. Add to that last night, which many on social media referred to as "RAW Is SNORE" and the number one company in the industry is not getting much love from the fans. As of now tonight's SmackDown Live episode has finished taping but we are not going to look at results, we want to hopefully be pleasantly surprised. Earlier this afternoon we were alerted to some serious news concerning a former manager and promoter that Steve has worked for. A former ROH star made his NXT debut over the weekend and a retired WWE star made a surprise in ring return. The rumors have been flying since Cody and the Young Bucks have announced they are not re-signing with ROH and now another well known ROH star has announced that he is not re-signing either.Speaking of contracts, a major promotion is reaching out to WWE stars who have contracts that are expiring. Impact Wrestling saw a slight rise in ratings while also revealing their plans for WrestleMania week. Former Impact Knockouts Champion and Hall Of Fame member Gail Kim also clairified some recent comments she made on Twitter regarding racism in the industry. Tonight will be a loaded episode so vote with your ears by listening to us tonight.

We hope you have not eaten too much candy so that you will be able to spend your time enjoying the next two hours. We wrote this as an introduction when we had the cousin of tonight's guest on a couple of years ago, the description fits very well. Many families have businesses that go from father to son to nephew to cousin. For some, it is a grocery store. For others, a restaurant or some other business. For the Fatu family, the family business is professional wrestling. Tonight, we talk to Sam Fatu, known to some as Headshrinker Fatu, to others as The Tonga Kid. Trained by Afa and Sika,Sam started working house shows as an unnamed Samoan before being given the name Tonga Kid. His first major feud was with one of the legends of our industry, Rowdy Roddy Piper. Over the years he has shared the ring with some of the greatest names wrestling has had to offer. He has been a fixture throughout the US as well as Puerto Rico. His stories are wonderful to listen to, including spending time with The British Bulldogs mascot Matilda. Get ready for a fun and entertaining evening.

Sunday night was a momentous event in the world of professional wrestling. For the first time ever, an entire event was based on women's wrestling in a major promotion. While SHIMMER, Shine and Rise are all female events, none of them have ever been on a major broadcast outlet. Now it does help when you own the network the event is on, but the fact that they felt confident enough with the talent and the matches that they put them on their own event speaks volumes. Concering other big events by now everyone knows that Crown Jewel will be held in Saudi Arabia this Friday, We also got confirmation via Bobby Lashley being put in the tournament that John Cena did,in fact tell management he was not going to go. Tonight, they will have to come up with a way to remove Daniel Bryan as it is now confirmed he also won't be going. Last week we talked about the comments made by Chris Jericho regarding the rumors of his starting a new promotion. Well now we have comments from his alleged partner in the operation, Jim Ross, and let's just say he took his cue from his "business partner" in terms of a response. We also have word concerning the future of the former NWA World Champion Cody Rhodes. These and other stories will be covered by your intrepid team of Katie, Steve and Sean tonight.

Due to circumstances beyond his control Trevor Murdoch will not be able to join us tonight, we will reschedule with him. Crank up Kool And The Gang, it's Ladies Night! We would like to thank our friend Randi West for jumping in at the last minute and being our guest this evening. The "Tough Broad" is a Michigan native who trained under well known Ring Of Honor manager Truth Martini. She has traveled extensively throughout the Midwest. We are looking forward to catching up with Randi, who just wrestled last night in Kentucky so if she's a little spent please understand.

Last night the wrestling world was hit with the most shocking piece of news ever. No matter what you thought of "Roman Reigns" the character, Joe Anoa'i is a human being with a family and friends and shouldn't have to be dealing with this. We offer our thoughts and prayers to Joe's family. This situation has overshadowed almost everything in the wrestling business, but there have been other situations, including a big pay per view that occurred over the weekend. This past Sunday NWA 70 aired live from the Nashville Fairgrounds. We actually had a semi regular guest of ours appear on the card. Crown Jewel is the problem that just can't seem to be resolved. There are now rumors floating that two major stars, both of which were going to appear in headline matches, have told the office that they will not go to Saudi Arabia. There are even other clues that show that event is in trouble. Now in regard to Sunday's Eveolution pay per view event one of the major stars of the current roster may not be able to participate. We will tell you who and why along with who the penciled in replacement is. Another star was pulled from house shows over the weekend although they are still slated to be on SmackDown tonight. Speaking of SmackDown, Fox is laying down some things they want to see change when they get SmackDown next year and it may even mean some roster changes. All of this and more with Sean, Steve and Katie TONIGHT!

During Anniversary due to a mix-up Cauliflower Alley Club president B. Brian Blair was not able to join us. He is coming on tonight so that we can enjoy his great and very funny stories, such as the infamous Dusty Rhodes/Andre The Giant "Cooler" story. In addition, we will talk to him about "The Ring Of Friendship", AKA The Cauliflower Alley Club which he serves as president, his famous Legends Lunch that he helps host in Tampa every few months and other subjects. In hour two we bring in second generation star Cody Jones. In the past few months, not only has he married long time girlfriend, independent star Paloma Starr. In recent weeks, Cody has shown off an amazing physical transformation that we will discuss along with his current activities along with his future plans. Join us as we continue our new year with some great guests and continue the path that we have continued to make in the wrestling and podcast industries.

If there's an ante room in The Great Beyond where the boys and girls get a feed of what's happening on TV, Roddy Piper had to have stood up at the end of THAT PROMO, smiled and said "That's my girl". Yes, we WILL play that audio because it has created controversy, and we have a LOT of controversy to cover tonight! At least two of our past guests missed dates and paydays this past weekend. One of them had an entire airline go belly up on him, one of our female guests and her road partner were caught in traffic and the result was not very good. One of our past guests, who also we have to admit did have involvement with another previous guest who has gone big time, was involved in a major incident that has had many repercussions.throughout the independent scene. Even Crown Jewel is the subject of controversy based on current events. Tonight is SmackDown episode 1000, and while we know of certain things that will be happening, such as the Evolution reunion and Rey Mysterio return, WWE is obviously keeping a lot of cards held close to make sure that there are some surprises. The question is, at the end of the night will you be saying "That was a great two hours" or "Well there's two hours of my life I'll never have back". We will have two hours, and probably more, of some very controversial wrestling talk that you will NOT want to miss!

After the success of last week's Anniversary shows we begin our new season with the return of an old segement and bringing back one of our more popular women wrestlers. We open tonight with the return of frequent Special Contributor Steven "Crimefighter" Lucas who will be giving us a preview of Pinfall Wrestling Association's 100th event, "Brawloween" which occurs this Saturday night, which includes a special appearance by former WWF/TNA star Lisa Marie "Victoria/Tara" Varon. It's been a while since we've talked to veteran womens wrestling star Malia Hosaka and a lot has happened since then. The last time we talked to Malia she was involved in raising money to help get many veteran women wrestlers to the annual Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion. We will talk about that event, the state of not just independent wrestling, but of womens wrestling, especially heading towards WWE's first ever all women pay per view event. The thing we know about Malia is she is very outspoken so be prepared for some comments that may go against the grain, but that is why we love her so much. Get ready to be entertained and educated by one of the pioneers of womens wrestling. BUY OUR SHIRTS!https://www.cafepress.com/wrestlingauthorityradio

WE TOLD YOU FIRST!!! Remember, several weeks ago we gave away the information for the lineup for Evolution and told you about the Nikki Bella/Ronda Rousey match. Last night on RAW Nikki sealed the deal with her attack on the Womens Champion. We also had the cliffhanger ending with Dean Ambrose walking off after the main event. WWE even ended the entire evening with that, not having their traditional post TV match. Tonight's SmackDown Live starts Samoa Joe's post AJ period with a World Cup qualifying match against Jeff Hardy. AJ, meanwhile, begins to focus on his title defense against Daniel Bryan. Will Brie's turn with her sister last night be mentioned? Will we see a bit of heel Bryan, something we haven't seen since his "NO" days? Will The Iconics get to revel in their home country victory or will that be a one off and they will be back to counting lights again? In other news, Steve and Sean will be going off against something that happened during a recent Major League Wrestling taping that we're STILL not sure if it was a total work. Chris Jericho made ANOTHER surprise unannounced appearance on a New Japan card. More information is coming out about the battle for the National title that will occure during NWA 70 in Nashville. Paige has responded to the comments made by former boyfriend Alberto El Patron. The teaser for "House Hardy" was releasd on Matt's official YouTube channel and there may be a hint that there might be more than green beans being served on All Hallows Eve. You'll hear about all of this as well as our exciting lineup for the next three weeks on Wrestling Authority Radio tonight! BUY OUR SHIRTS! https://www.cafepress.com/tuesdaynightturmoil

HCEW August 22 · ~~~~P.S.A.~~~~~ According to several Wrestling trolls/trash pages. H.C.E.W has a registered Sex Offender scheduled to appear at our next performance Oct 27th at Victory Sports Complex titled "War Path". This is simply not true. Brandon Simpson a.k.a "Skyler Stevens" previously known as " Annhilator" was asked not to return to H.C.E.W after the locker room agreed to refuse to perform the upcoming event unless Simpson was dropped from the roster "including" all masked personas. H.C.E.W. fully agrees and has fully complied with all of these wishes. Everyone here at H.C.E.W. wants to make publicly known that we apologize for any breach in safety as well as any scare tactics employed currently on social media and wish to see everyone at War Path, Saturday Oct 27! Brandon Simpson WILL BE there UNDER A MASK! Sean worked with this group last year and was never told and Mr. Simpson was charged after 2011. TONIGHT Sean & Steve will break this down on a VERY SPECIAL EDITION of Rampage Rants MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM. We INVITE YOU to call in with your thoughts, comments, ideas. JOIN THE CONTROVERSY!

Once again we break out Kool & The Gang because it's one of our favorite nights, Ladies Night! However, tonight, we take a different track and feature an up and coming star, one who we see occaisionally tagging with another past guest, Kierra Hogan. Tonight, we feature the "Weapon Of A** Destruction" Double D'Rose! Standing at only 5'5" and weighing in at 180 lbs., she is not the norm. She is described as "athletically decieving". She does things that a woman of her size should not be able to do. She comes with what she describes as dangerous curves and says she uses them to their fullest extent. She states that her body is not a sexual object, but a massive weapon that causes collateral damage to the utmost. Her favorite quote is "Never trust a big butt and a smile." and she promises that's the last thing that her opponent sees. She has been seen in EVOLVE, SHIMMER, RISE, Girl Fight, Anarchy, IWA-MS, Rockstar and SABOTAGE. She is a two time Big Time Wrestling Womens Champion, the inaugural Anarchy Womens Champion and the first ever WWA4 Womens Champion. She also has recently begun offering anyone who will take her up on it, the Steel Chair Challenge. We will let her describe it, we have seen her allow one of her trainers, former Lucha Underground star AR Fox, FKA Dante Fox, and believe us, it's an amazing thing to watch. Get ready to hear some great stories as well as a serious discussion of the current womens wrestling scene from one of the up and coming stars of that scene.

If you watched RAW last night you saw the scary incident involving Brie Bella and Liv Morgan during the six woman tag match. Brie has obviously come under a LOT of criticism immediately after the situation, reminiscent of the criticism leveled at Ken "Kennedy" Anderson and Randy Orton regarding being "unsafe" and "dangerous". Well she has gotten one major defender and we will talk about that as we discuss RAW. The preview for SmackDown Live for tonight says we are going to suffer thorugh ANOTHER AJ Styles/Samoa Joe contract signing, We should see more, and maybe get some answers, from Aiden English regarding his final betrayal last week on Rusev. There are also listed spots with Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton. In other news, an opinion piece on NoDQ.com has caused major controversy as it talks about The Bellas (AGAIN), this time criticizing them and other women who were in WWE during the Divas era as being a roadblock to the Womens Revolution, causing a major stir in the WWE Womens roster and prompting responses from many, most noteably Paige. A former ECW star is making an in ring comeback. New Japan has released their card for the Fighting Spirit Unleashed event in Long Beach this Sunday. NXT fans are celebrating as one of their favorite women made appearances on main roster live events this past weekend. WWE has revised history AGAIN as someone who had been removed from the history books resurfaced on the new intro video that started being used Monday night. And if you thought the Woken One may have classified himself as OBSOLETE you would be MISTAKEN! Wait until you hear what may be in the works for House Hardy. Will there be GREEN BEANS involved? Who knows! All of this and more fun with your zookeepers Steve and Katie as we try to keep control of Sean TONIGHT!

When it comes to ring announcers, few have the pedigree of Gary Michael Capetta. The man known as "The World's Most Dangerous Announcer" has toured the world and worked for all three of the major promotions based in the United States. Last year, prior to his first "Beyond Bodyslams" tour he made his first appearance on our program and regaled us with story after story of his years on the road. It was one of the most fun 2+ hours we have ever had. Gary is back on the road with his latest tour, "Beyond Bodyslams-The Rematch" where he continues telling more of the stories of the people he has been involved with and the places he has been, some nice, some rather questionable, throughout the years. The new show has more stories and a larger screen with more and better videos than before. On this tour he has also included various wrestling personalities, both established and up and coming. In Atlantic City, he had our friend The Quintessential Studmuffin Joel Gertner. At "Beyond Bodyslams-Chicago Rematch" which will occur this Friday in suburban Berwyn, he will be joined by a young man who is making his own path while paying tribute to his legendary father, Brian Pillman Jr., who will also do a Q&A session. The Chicago stop is being sponsored by Berwyn Championship Wrestling, who will have an event on Saturday night. They will also be represented here tonight. If you have any questions for Gary please post them on the W.A.R. page on Facebook and we will ask the best ones. Get ready for another fantastic two hours or more of stories and laughs with The World's Most Dangerous Announcer-Gary Michael Capetta.

We have in the past interviewed several wrestling personalities who have written books about the industry from the inside. Bobby "Blaze" Smedley with "Pin Me Pay Me" and "I Kicked Out At Two", Kenny "Starmaker" Bolin and "I Probably Screwed You Too The (Mostly) True Stories Of Kenny "Starmaker" Bolin and Bill Apter with the legendary "Is Wrestling Fixed? I Didn't Know It Was Broken". Tonight, we present to you the author of several books on not only professional wrestling but baseball. This book, however, may prove to be his biggest, and possibly most controversial yet. Today, the latest book by author Tim Hornbaker, "Death of the Territories: Expansion, Betrayal and the War that Changed Pro Wrestling Forever" was published by ECW Press. In it, Tim tells the history of how the territory system developed, the infighting and backroom deals that made and broke numerous promotions over the years, and how the creation and expansion of cable TV and an enterprising Vincent Kennedy McMahon changed the face of the professional wrestling industry forever. Your hosts have been able to read the book and it is an amazing read and a fascinating history lesson for both the wresting afficionado and the new fan who may not be aware of the long history of the industry and may only be learning about the past now due to events such as "ALL IN". Steve even learned that what he had learned in the past was not how things actually were. This will be a very interesting conversation. If you have questions for Tim about the book or about wrestling history in general please post them on the W.A.R. page (http://www.facebook.com/WrestlingAuthorityRadio) and we will ask the best one. You will also be able, sometime tonight, to WIN a copy of the book, courtesy of Tim & ECW Press. Be listening.

So,we got a little carried away last night rightly criticizing WWE without actually getting into RAW or SmackDown Live. Well tonight we will correct that issue. After that we have some great subjects to talk about, including a match sheet for Evolution that leaked out today and is making us wonder why they're not pushing this card to the moon. In addition, Tama Tonga, son of the legendary Haku, AKA King Tonga and Brandi Rhodes, wife of the new NWA Champion Cody, have been engaged in a vicious feud across Twitter that is once again blurring the lines between story and reality. Chris Jericho talks about possibly continuing to work non WWE events in the US, and the last line of his comment may be a clue about his future. Has Vince McMahon decided he's going to play hardball with Madison Square Garden? We have information regarding something scheduled for next week that could have some long ranging and long lasting effects on many people on many levels. All this and the proverbial more with Sean, Steve and Katie tonight.

One would think that after seeing how successful ALL IN was you would think that WWE would try and put on some major spark on the go home show prior to this Sunday's pay per view, the first one of the "fall season" (even though it's still officially Summer). Instead, the audience was treated to a show that, minus the Women's tag match, was mediocre at best. We can only hope that tonight's SmackDown Live makes a better case for viewers to want to watch Sunday. In good news concerning last night's RAW, it marked Renee Young's official promotion to full time commentator. Speaking of Renee Young, it seems that, sadly, her official first night couldn't go without a STUPID tweet by well known moron Terry Brunk, AKA Sabu. Speaking of women in the wrestling business a new interview with former ECW and WWF star Jazz has come out. In it, she hints at why she thinks she was released, and it has a lot to do with skin tone. Another well known woman, Zelina Vega, real name Thea Trinidad, released an interview today talking about her father, who she lost 17 years ago today in the World Trade Center. SmackDown Live episode 1000 is coming soon, and the rumors are flying as to which past Blue Brand stars will be returning for the big event. Well one person who is listed as returning for the special episode is saying "Huh?". We'll tell you who that is. We have the lineup for this week's Mae Young Classic episode, and it contains someone who has been on our airwaves. WWE is looking at sites in and around New York City for WrestleMania week, and one of the places they looked at is probably the most opposite of a wrestling friendly venue that there could be. All these stories and more, with Steve, Sean and Katie...TONIGHT!

This interview was recorded Monday, therefore we will not be taking any live calls. Please sit back, enjoy, and for promoters and would be promote out there, take notes. Bill Behrens is a promoter and talent developer. Throught his career, prooting primariy from the gymnasium of a former school in the small town of Cornelia, Ga. The list of names that he has had a hand in developing and taking to the next level is a who's who of the wrestling business. Sean and Steve had the honor of talking to Bill on Monday and this is the entire interview, uncut and without interruption. In it, we discuss ALL IN, the NWA, his memories of our friend Ed Chuman, the art of promoting and other such subjects. If you have any questions you would like us to ask Bill on a subsequent taping we will do before Anniversary, please submit them to our Facebook page and we will attempt to have Bill answer them then.

Saturday night, the wrestling business experienced an earthquake coming out of the Chicago area that shifted the landscape of our industry, probably forever. ALL IN and its companion STARRCAST wrestling convention brought in fans and viewers and HUGE amounts of money! The project, which was the brainchild of Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks, aired live from the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates and brought together talent that had not only not been seen live in the Midwest, but many had never been seen live in the United States, or at least not outside of a smaller independent event. There was fantastic action, the public resurrection of the National Wrestling Alliance, and a surprise appearance by someone who swore they would NEVER appear on an independent event in the United States. Amongst all that, there was that notorious Joey Ryan segment, and you knew Jim Cornette was going to say something about it.He didn't say anything on the air, but he did address the subject via Twitter, and while he was at it gave some publicity to someone Steve knows and has worked with. There was also an arrest before the event of a former WWE producer that we will discuss. Now, did Cody's big brother Dustin, AKA Goldust watch it? You bet! Wait until you hear how much he's watched it! RAW last night had a serious injury occur during the final melee. We will be watching for any updates regarding Seth Rollins' situation if there is any news before or during the broadcast. In other news, we now know why Aleister Black was not at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn. SmackDown Live may revisit a contorversial segment from the Attitude Era, this time involving Samoa Joe and AJ Styles. All this and more with Katie,Steve and Sean, TONIGHT.

It's hard to believe that the end of summer is coming and we're just a few days away from Labor Day for our US listeners. Now while technically the warm weather shouldn't be leaving us, we couldn't figure of ending summer with the HOTTEST ladies around, the original GLOW girls! Joining us tonight: April Enriquez. Due to circumstances beyond her control, Olympia Hart will not be able to be with us. April, AKA Royal Hawaiian, will be making her second appearance with us. She will fill us in on the latest upcoming GLOW events. Noelle Rose. This is Noelle's second appearance with us. As the evil Soviet Major Tanya, Noelle dispatched opponents like sending dissidents to Siberia. Now, she performs throughout Southern California as Rose Redbirdi, trading promos for song lyrics and her Russian gear for a guitar. Marie Moore. Marie, known as the braniac Zelda, is making her second appearance with us. We'll be able to get more into the design of her character, which many original fans can recognize as the inspiration for Britannica from the Netflix series. Jayne Adams. She was the second California Doll. Her story is not totally unique in that she was a model who got a call from her agent for this new TV concept. However, her total story is very interesting, especially the end of her GLOW run and her current career. Originally our dear friend Sandy Manley, AKA Gremlina was going to join us. Unfortunately Sandy is having meetings with doctors who are taking care of her husband Alan (See her GoFundMe on our page and help if you can) as well as family helping her AND a regular job. We wish her the best. Once again, many thanks to our dear friend, April "Royal Hawaiian" Enriquez for arranging eveything. We hope you will enjoy ending your summer with a GLOW.

We're going to put Katie on the spot right off the bat (don't yell at us, you asked for it) as she presents her essay, "What I Did On My Saturday Night" which involved two previous guests. She also has her OWN rant tonight and it promises to be a biggie as she usually NEVER has a bad thing to say about many wrestlers, at least ones who aren't named Kevin Owens or Alexa Bliss. This should be a beaut as she has refused to let us in on what her beef is. Last year, Steve absolutely TRASHED AAA's big show Triplemania XXV, and with good reason. Saturday was the 26th edition of the annual big event of lucha libre. Was it any better than last year in terms of production or action? We'll let him tell you. There were some announcements made off air last night concerning members of the RAW roster that we have information on, one of which actually affects the upcoming event in Australia. A former bit player on RAW thought it would be fun to play a VERY sick joke last night. We will talk about the who and the what, and it's NOT funny! Tonight's listed SmackDown Live matches includes the Womens Title rematch, The New Day celebration, The Colons return in a 3 Way against The Bar and The Good Brothers. In other news, Maria Kanellis Bennett recently expressed a wish in response to a question asked by a fan. Let's just say the response was probably not what she hoped for. Join Steve, Katie and Sean for two hours of fun and wrestling talk TONIGHT.

Sadly, we toll the 10 bell tonight to remember former Georgia Championship Wrestling/World Championship Wrestling personality Chris Champion, also known as Yoshi Kwan. Tonight we bring back our Indy Spotlight. Tonight we feature SCW, the promotion based out of the Black & Brave Wrestling Academy (Yes, the wrestling school co-owned and operated by that guy you see on Monday nights). This weekend their show will feature former WWE star Vicki "EXCUSE ME" Gurerro. We don't say she will be on, but we will talk about her. Next will be an up and coming wrestler currently based out of Michigan. Alex Weir is turning heads all over with his athleticism and with smaller wrestlers starting to make a bigger mark with audiences all over he is someone you need to watch The last time we talked to Barrington Hughes he was still knocking around the Florida independent scene. Today he is a star on a network wrestling show. Barrington is part of Court Bauer's Major League Wrestling. Their program, MLW FUSION is scene weekly on Bein Sports. A few weeks ago, during MLW's Battle Riot, Barrington squared off with another behemoth, Fallah Bahh from Impact Wrestling. Tonight will be another fun evening of talk with some great wrestlers, we hope you will enjoy it.

Sadly, we once again open with the ten bell, as former CMLL & WCW wrestler Arturo Diaz Mendoza, AKA Villano III, passed away this morning at the age of 66. Tonight ends the 4 day SummerSlam party and, unfortunately, it won't be totally ending as planned. A scheduled no disqualification rematch between The New Day and The Bludgeon Brothers has had to be scrapped (Note: They are still advertising the match as happening so we don't know). For those of you who caught our ERN One Minute (More Or Less) Wrestling News on Facebook or MeWe you are aware that Erik Rowan suffered an arm injury during their match Sunday and the arm was going to be examined today to discover they type and severity of the injury. Between the two pay-per-view events there were SIX title changes! Quite amazing. In other news, could there possibly be money problems at AAA? If you listen to Alberto El Patron, it sounds like there might be. Alberto will be missing the company's biggest event of the year and we will tell you why. ALL IN has added another competitor to their "Over Budget Battle Royal" and the young man they added is making waves throughout the independent scene, despite not being a behemoth. Speaking off ALL IN additions, someone the entire wrestling world would love to hear from was asked, and no, it's NOT Flip Gordon! We'll tell you who and what was said by the party that was approached. There will be a NEW WWE titleholder crowned this weekend that we will discuss. In hour two we are going on another rampage. We found another "promotion" that when we read what they were offering, we didn't know whether to laugh, scream or puke. We may do all three while we discuss it so if there are any unusual sounds we ask your indulgence. Just get ready for us to become totally unhinged. All of these things and MORE, including a BIG prize announcement, with Steve, Katie and Sean TONIGHT!

After having to talk about some very sad things last night it's time to brighten the mood, and who better to have a fun time with than our favorite Georgia Championship Wrestling/World Championship Wrestling friend "The Outlaw" Joel Deaton. We will also be joined by Independent Wrestling Sensation "The Nubaian Dragon" Apollo "POISON" Starr! It's been quite a while since we talked to Apollo, but we are gonna catch up and are sure he will have lots to say. Get ready to hear some great stories, and maybe we'll actually talk a little wrestling. So join YOUR hosts "Sadistic" Sean David, "The Dean of Wrestling" Steve Cain, & "Khaotic" Katie LIVE inside the ER for W.A.R.!

Sadly, we are once again starting with a 10 bell tribute to fallen comrades. In addition to Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart we lost former AAA star Arturo Hernandez, who competed as El Picudo and Devil Rocker, complete with KISS style make up and Ian "Doc" Dean, British star and former tag partner of current WWE trainer Robbie Brookside. We have invited some people who knew and worked with Jim to come on and share stories of him. Last night's RAW set up a MAJOR potential post SummerSlam program that was hinted at at the end of the show. We do know you NEVER want to say "BATter up" to Ronda Rousey! We'll explain in our recap. How was the reaction to Renee Young's first time ever in a commentary role? We have the reaction and probably a telltale sign from the Boss himself. Will the Triple Threat match for the SmackDown Womens title be turned into a Fatal Four Way for Sunday? We have information regarding a match that will happen tonight that could change the nature of Sunday's match. In regards to Sunday, we now have the pre-show match listing and at least two of them look to be rather good. In other news, Jeff Jarrett is going to court against Anthem Sports. The charges are very broad and we'll go over what the claims are and if there is any potential merit to them. The former Enzo Amore recently spoke to TMZ Sports regarding a lot of things, but one of them is a bold faced lie! We'll expose the "Realest liar in the room". All this and whatever else we can come up with with Steve, Katie, Sean and some of our friends tonight.

Roll 'em, torch 'em, but don't bogart 'em. Yes, we're going to be talking about W&W, Weed & Wrestling, and we have the top propnents of this particular tag team combination, real life twins Dustin and Derek Mehl, known to wrestling fans up and down the Western US as Rick-Scott and Scott-Rick, The Stoner Brothers. This toking duo is well known through their work at Oakland based Hoodslam Wrestling, However, they don't stay in the Bay Area. They go throughout the West Coast and other areas, including our friend Sinn Bohdi's Freakshow Wrestling. In addition, they also train the next generation of wrestlers. Speaking of training, much thanks to them for giving up their training class in order to speak to us. So grab a hit, get lit and have fun with wrestling's walking, talking butt kicking party animals!

You remember Joey Eastman right? the guy who called in a few weeks ago to our Sunday show and tried to sabatage it, but ended up making an ass of himself and getting put in his place by our good friend Paul Eubanks. We will discuss who the latest clan members are in HOUR 2.We have talked about PROPER promoting with some of the BIGGEST names in the business today, well tonight we have some of them rejoin us as we divulge into what are the BIGGEST failures in IL Wrestling today including CHWA, & LOTS of OTHERS. Good thing we stocked up on BUTTHURT Cream because there are going to be a LOT of BUTTHURT people after this segment. This will be NO HOLDS BARRED, BALLS TO THE WALL as we take the TURMOIL through the trenches. IF YOU get easily BUTTHURT this segment might not be for you. All of this & more in HOUR 2! So join your hosts Sean, Katie,, & Steve for 2 Hours of POWER LIVE TONIGHT on ERN on BTR!

When last we left you last night, not of our own accord, BlogTalk cut us off; A. Katie had signed off for the night. B. Sean hadn't watched last week's Impact Wrestling yet C.Steve had watched it and was reporting on it. D. We got cut off, so we didn't even get to RAW or SmackDown Live In addition to that we will pose the question, "Are we even going to need the WWE Network in 2019?". We'll talk about these and other issues tonight.

Unfortunately Saturday night and into Sunday proved to probably be one of the roughest days in our industry with a total of FOUR members of our brethern passing away. Steve ran across an interesting post on the Instagram page of our friend "The World's Most Dangerous Announcer" Gary Michael Capetta where he critiqued a WWE house show he attended this weekend. It's a very interesting investigation into the thought processes of someone who understands the industry watching an event and what they noticed. Impact Wrestling is making some big moves with signing several talents to long term deals including one of the original members of the promotion. There is also a lot of great buzz coming out of Slammiversary and last Thursday's TV. At the same time, another member of the roster may be reevaluating his future in the industry. The Mae Young Classic is shaping up to be a very interesting event with a former guest and a former Knockouts Champion as part of the lineup. The current Cruiserweight Champion and another main roster member may be in some serious trouble before the Mae Young and Evolution as some very ugly tweets from their pasts have recently surfaced. Speaking of Evolution there may be someone from WWE's past who is enjoying success somewhere else who may not be invited to be part of the event. All of this and more, Including Velvet Sky calling out WWE's imitation of The Beautiful People, TONIGHT.

After bringing Steve back a week early to help cover for Katie due to a personal situation, we get ready to send him off again for his other eye surgery by bringing on the girls from the original GLOW, Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling.Tonight we welcome one friend back and introduce three new members to the ER Family. Cheryl Rusa, AKA Lightning, is making her second appearance on our airwaves. As well as being a GLOW girl, she worked for Wally Karbo's LPWA and also JWP in Japan. She is as far as we know, rhe only GLOW girl to actively still hold championship gold, holding the AIWA & PCCW Womens Championships as well as the WAW Internet Championship. In addition to wrestling, Cheryl is also a working actress and stunt woman. Lily Crabtree was the second girl to don the gimmick of Corporal Kelly. In adddition to wrestling, she is a musician having been the vocalist for a band called The Explosive Broomhandles (we HAVE to find out the story behind that!) before leaving the West Coast for life back in the Midwest. Annette Marroquin, AKA Jungle Woman still enjoys an amazing popularity among GLOW fans. This is her first interrview talking about GLOW. Annette is an Illinois Valley native, having grown up in DePue. Not only was Annette a pageant winner, she was also a USFL and NFL cheerleader. It was during those days that she met and became friends with two other women who would also become GLOW girls, and one would become a WWE Hall Of Fame member. Nadine Kadmiri, AKA Ashley Cartier was born in Las Vegas. she was an NFL & USFL cheerleader. It was during that time that she met Annette Marroquin. The rest, as they say, is history. Get ready to send Steve back to surgery with a fun evening (Sean and Katie will be there too).

Due to circumstances beyond our control the original focus of our episode will not be happening, this will be our only comment about it and we will not discuss it on the air. If you were disappointed by Sunday night's Extreme Rules pay per view you were not alone. We were not happy about it either, and just like one of The Sandman's barbed wire wrapped baseball bats, we are going to rip it to shreds! It will be interesting to see what each of the hosts considers the worst match of the night. After that disappointment we were subjected to a RAW that can probably also be described as sub par. The race to find an opponent for Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam has been brought down to Roman Reigns (AGAIN) and Bobby Lashley. Will Vince listen to the fans or will we be subjected to reigns/Lesnar XXL? As you all know by now Hulk Hogan was reinstated this weekend and he addressed the locker room prior to the start of Extreme Rules. What you may not know is that he was not well recieved by everyone, with one very noteable star refusing to shake Hogan's hand. We knew about Charlotte's issue with her implant, we just didn't know the entire story, until now. Speaking of stories, the ongoing saga of Molly Woodward has a new major twist that could spell the end of the case. All of this and other wrestling news with Sean, Katie and , for this week only before he goes under the knife again, Steve.

We were all shocked this morning to learn of the passing of Leon "Big Van Vaer" White. Leon was able to successfully transition from the NFL to wrestling like Wahoo McDaniel and Manny Fernandez. Starting with the AWA his career took him to WCW, WWF and a highly successful run in Japan, where he was held in the same regard as Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen. We will spend the first part of our show discussing his career with various people who had a connection to him. In hour two we will be joined by Southern Illinois promoter Frank Root of Rampage Championship Wrestling. This weekend they perform their second benefit to aid Special Olympics. We will also discuss more upcoming events for the promotion. Finally we will be joined by one of our long time friends, Kacee Carlisle. The "Guardian Of The Gold" currently holds nine different championships. We'll see where her travels have taken her and where they may take her in the future. Get ready for a very interesting evening.

News broke earlier today of the release of William Morrissey, AKA Big Cass, just two days after his loss to Daniel Bryan at Money In The Bank. We also have a major spoiler coming out of today's UK Tournament taping. John Cena reached a settlement with Ford and has announced that he will do something else to show Nikki Bella that he's serious about changing things It was a long weekend for the WWE roster with TakeOver, Money In The Bank, RAW and SmackDown Live. We'll talk about each of them in detail. Yes, we will talk about the end of the Gargano/Ciampa match in connection with discusiions we have had on the air. We'll also discuss the Intercontinental title change and whether Elias is not being given the respect he should. All of this, plus Jillian Hall speaks out about being called out for revelations about her during the Punk/Cabana trial, Ring Of Honor being stopped in New York, Dwayne Johnson announcing another film project and more with Katie, Sean, and Birthday Boy, tonight.

Tonight is loaded in terms of big events on TV. NXT has its go home show prior to TakeOver Chicago and Lucia Underground begins its fourth season in a new temple but with not only some familiar faces and names but with some new faces from other places. They also start the season with one of its signature events, Aztec Warfare 4! Triple H did a media conference call today to discuss TakeOver Chicago, the upcoming UK Tournament and expanding its training. We know a lot of current stars are second and third generation (Dustin and Cody Rhodes, the Guererro family and Tessa Blanchard come to mind). Well the second generation of one of the more, shall we say unique, stars of the business made their debut recently and wait until you hear who it is. All of this, the Chris Jericho interview where he explains why he won't wrestle in the US and A representative from Frank Root's Rampage Championship Wrestling out of Illinois to talk about their upcoming Great American Summer Tour Dates. Christopher B Mumie from Allstar Wrestling Alliance out of Pennsylvania to talk about an event he has coming up. Krusher Knopf to talk about the next IWA Event in Florida.

After an amaing go home edition of RAW last night it is SmackDown Live's trun to sell Sunday night's Money In The Bank event. Can the Blue Brand match up to the level set by Team Red? We'll have to wait and see. In the news department, Ring Of Honor announced plans to host shows in larger venues, and wait until you hear where they plan on going! Jeff Hardy's DWI case has been heard and a judgemnt rendered. John Cena continues to take Hollywood by storm and he will be starring beside a Hollywood action legend while replacing another one in the process. This will be a jaw dropper so get ready. EVOLVE 107 happens June 24 and the card will feature a title defense by NXT North American Champion Adam Cole (BAY BAY) and his opponent is someone who has bee rumored to be on WWE's radar for quite a while. Is this the tryout before they sign this star? We'll have to wait and see. Last Saturday saw NJPW's Dominion show and some very big things happened that we will discuss. On the same day former wrestling star Phil Brooks, AKA CM Punk, fresh off his win in the Amman trial had his second UFC fight at home in the United Center. It wasn't the fight and its result that was necessarily shocking, however. What was shocking was the reaction of WWE commentator and apparantly now former friend Corey Graves. As usual, when there is controversy in the wrestling business Jim Cornette is right there with his unfilterd opinion and we will hear what he has to say about it. All of this and other stories with Sean, Katie and Steve LIVE tonight!

NOT A LIVE SHOW!

We have three ladies that are so tough, Sean and Steve are afraid of them! And once again, controversy raises its head and we do not shy away from it.

Kathy "The Butcher" Owens returns from last month when we were unable to be heard so now you will definitely be able to hear what she has to say about the business and how she feels she fits in it. Finally we also bring in someone we're looking forward to talking to, just because it's taken forever to get her, a woman with a more OLD SCHOOL look and approach to this business simply known as Thunderkitty.

You're not going to want to miss this it's going to get heated we promise you that. We also promise it will be 3 FULL hours of FANDEMONIUM!

Tonight we continue our series of interviews with the ladies who were involved in the cult TV favorite GLOW, Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling. First, we want to thank our new friend who set this up, April Horn Enriquez, known to GLOW fans as Royal Hawaiian. Along with April we will have the following (not listed in order of appearance) Marie "Zelda" Moore-Before The Dudleys came on the scene with their glasses with tape and before Lanny Poffo was The Genius, there was Zelda. Billed as being from Brooklyn with an IQ of over 160, the braniac, who was not the biggest girl in the ring, relied on her intelliigence (and in the case of Godiva, some hair removing spray) to attempt, not always successfully, to defeat her opponents. April "Royal Hawaiian" Enriquez-One of the notorious Bad Girls, Royal Hawaiian was the antihesis of the beloved Mountain Fiji. In fact it was using one of the oldest tricks in the book that allowed her to defeat Tammy Jones to win the GLOW crown. Sharon Willinsky Johnston & Donna Willinsky-"Chaninsaw & Spike-The Heavy Metal Sisters"-This is an exclusive, as the sisters have not done an inteview together since the orignal GLOW documentary that sparked interest in the original show and lead to the development of the Netflix series. The sisters did double duty as they also portrayed the hilarious team of Phyllis & Arlene-The Housewives. As Chainsaw & Spike they were brought to the ring very much like a scene from "Silence Of The Lambs" and were notorious for using flaming ropes, nooses and old fashioned biting. As The Housewives, the sisters came to the ring in curlers and face cream like they had just woke up and brought every variety of household item to the ring. Get ready!

Just as we were getting tonight's episode ready a verdict came down in the CM Punk/Colt Cabana trial. We will discuss that at the top of the hour along with the semi cryptic tweet posted this morning by Austin Aries and directed to a former opponent. Speaking of Aries, he just retired a championship belt. If you've ever heard one woman tell another "I'm gonna snatch you bald" this past Sunday night Asuka literally kicked someone almost bald. Recent WWE Hall Of Fame inductee Jeff Jarrett stepped back n the ring in Mexico since his disasteous Triplemania entrance that cost him his position at Impact Wrestling and it was impressive. Is there a Hurricane coming to Ring Of Honor? Yes there is, so stand back! We have a full lineup for Saturday night's New Japan Dominion event that will contain the Jericho/Naito match and it looks very strong. RAW last night added a new level to "management" that is starting to resemble the old "Authority" storyline and we'll discuss the viability of it. Along with SmackDown Live and other Money In The Bank news we plan on entertaining you for two hours.

NOT A LIVE BROADCAST! Evolution Radio Network Proudly Presents: Slammin' Sunday's Featuring The Archives of The PWR Vault! We Bring you Valkrye Womens Wrestling, Kacee Carlisle, KC Spinelli, Former TNA Star Andrea, & Sage Sin Suprememe, & Katie Olympia! LOCK & LOOD Wrestling Fans! This one was a GOOD one!

NOT A LIVE BROADCAST! We bring you Throwback Thursday Featuring Fred Ottman, Tracy Smotheres, & More! Do NOT Miss IT!

We apologize for not being able to be on last night, again the circumstances were beyond our control. That being said, we will use tonight to try and play catch up. In our Tuesday morning video we mentioned the John Hennigan, AKA Johnny Pick A Last Name inclusion in the upcoming season of SURVIVOR but he has also reached out to another promotion. The problem is, the promotion he reached out to doesn't have a working relationship with the main promotion he works for (not the main US promotion he works for). Did Ricochet's old running buddy Will Ospery do something on social media you would not consider normal on social media? We'll talk about a comment the high flyer made to a picture posted on Instagram. Speaking of social media, WWE announcer Corey Graves, or as we affectionately refer to him, Vanilla Ice Milk, responded to more criticism from a fan. Booker T is making a prediction about one of the most well known wrestlers currently not doing wrestling at all. We'll examine what the 5x WCW champ said and whether he may potentially be correct. Wonder where the Authors Of Pain and SaNity are? So do we, but we do have the current answer, and it's a familiar refraiin. In fact, Colt Cabana made a web series about it. Speaking of Cabana, he recently cancelled an appearance and we'll tell you why. WWE is canceling a segment on RAW that we'll talk about.as well. All these subjects and more, with Katie, Steve, Sean, Crusher and who knows who tonight.

Will we have to go back to Monday nights starting this fall? We'll talk about why that might be as a change in networks for SmackDown tops the news of the day. If you watched our new Evolution Radio Network One Minute (More Or Less) Wrestling News, a new daily feature on our Facebok pages, you heard about the controversial new book being written by the brother of WWE SmackDown Live commisioner Paige, Roy Bevis. It presents a less than flattering portrait of the mother of Paige (real name Saraya-Jade Bevis) and Roy. Paige is also experiencing more grief from her leaked privatthe SmackDown e photos and videos. There is also some sad news concerning former TOUGH ENOUGH and NXT talent Matt Cappotelli. In addition to the SmackDown deal we will talk about how much Facebook paid to run the Mixed Match Challenge. We also have the very NSFW promo Chris Jericho cut to promote his June 9 NJPW match against Naito. We also have news on the new contracts Sasha Banks and Big Show signed. Speaking of contracts, former WCW head Eric Bischoff recently talked about the contracts of some of the stars during the nWo era and it might surprise you. NXT lead announcer Mauro Ranallo is featured in a documentary that will premier this weekend on Showtime. Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Eric Arndt, AKA Enzo Amore, will be making his first public appearance since the rape charges that ended his WWE career were dropped. All this, plus stories about CM Punk, The Young Bucks and the Hardys and more, with Steve, Sean and Katie TONIGHT.

The name Bruiser Brody is still, and will always, be spoken with reverence among legions of wrestlers and fans throughout the world. Memorial shows with his name are run throughout the world every year. One of those shows is run by our good friend Herb Simmons and the fine folks at SICW and will happen this Saturday. Herb, who of course is one of our ERN regular guests will be joining us, as will another long time friend of ours, Curtis Wylde. Tonight, however, belongs to the woman who allowed the man the public knew as Bruiser Brody to travel the world and terrorize wrestling fans all over-Barbara Goodish. We will try to give you an insight on who Barbara is as a person outsice of her husband, her continued connection to the wrestling business, and her thoughts on the scene today. We are honored to have someone of Barbara's history and standing joining us and we hope you will enjoy tonight's program. We will also be joined by other stars of SICW.

By now you've probably already read tonight's SmackDown Live and 205 Live results and made the decision of whether or not you're going to watch it. Either way we will report on it as well as last night's RAW results from the O2 Arena in London. Last week we talked about Charlotte Flair's upcoming surgery but she also recently had other surgery that is as much for function as it is for looks. Sunday the press conference for the September 1 ALL IN event in the Chicago suburbs was held and there was some big news that came out of the press conference. Former ECW champion Justin Credible just revealed some very sad news, which having undergone some of the recent setbacks he has is not a good thing to hear. Michael Cole continues to be trolled in the Hardy stroyline, and wait until you hear about the latest salvo in this seemingly never ending war between the lead RAW comentator and the WOKEN Hardys. All this and more, including John Cena begging Nikki Bella to take him back TONIGHT!

Tuesday night we lost one of the sttars of the early 90s WWF, Nick "Big Bully" Busick. We were very fortunate to land this interview with him, tonight, we replay this episode as a tribute to our fallen brother. Original air date- August 20, 2014 PWR SLAM! returns this week with a FULL SET! Get ready to listen to the revolution of pro wrestling radio.

Well it looks like the girls are back in charge of the asylum tonight! Scheduled to appear with us are our dear friends from GLOW, Eileen "MTV" O'Hara, Tracee "Roxy Astor" Meltzer and possibly more. Many of the girls went to the annual Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion in Las Vegas so we will talk about all the fun people they met and everything they did (at least what we can talk about that doesn't violate Nevavda state laws). In addition, they are working on a couple of side projects, one GLOW related, and one that is as removed from GLOW, and wrestling in general, as you possibly can. We're not sure how long our GLOW girls will be staying with us but don't worry, we have plenty to cover. Get ready for us to talk about a lot of controversial stuff. Would YOU take YOUR KIDS to a wrestling show held on the grounds of a STRIP CLUB & ADULT BOOK STORE? You know, the kind where people have sex in the booths while watching ? Well one promotion is betting you will, and we will call them out! All this and MORE-TONIGHT!

A lot of fans are already saying that last night's RAW was actually better han the BackLash pay-per-view the night before. Did you feel that way? We'll discuss that early on tonight. And no, you were not imagining things, you did see an advertisement for GWN at the end of a WWE Network program. We'll talk about why that is happening. Where was Ronda Rousey last night? We have the answer to that question. In other news there will be more WWE events in Saudi Arabia.. There is also apparantly a new law there about criticizing the business. WWE is also involved in a legal dispute against a foreign TV distributor and they are apparently signing another video deal. Former TNA and curren ROH star Frankie Kazarian made a very interesting statement on Twitter that needs to be discussed. All of this and more, including the latest news on Alberto El Patron, RIng Of Honor and MORE, tonight!

OK folks, have your notebooks out and your pencils ready, class is in session! Tonight, we are privileged to bring you what only can be described as a master class. Your instructor is one of the leading stars and trainers for Ring Of Honor, BRUTAL BOB EVANS! Bob's history is unique as he was a wrestler turned manager turned wrestler again. In fact, Bob returned to the ring at an age where most wrestlers are slowing down and transitioning from wrestler to manager, referee or agent. His attitude is very old school and in fact he approached us after listening to several of our programs. We are very honored and humbled to think that he agreed with our opinion so much that he made the request to appear on our show. Be prepared to be educated and entertained by this amzing performer and trainer. Also In The Indy Spotlight Rampage Championship Wrestling's Frank & Randon Root. Join Us For 3 Hours of PURE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING TALK!

We are less than a week removed from The Greatest Royal Rumble and a week away from BackLash and we have a lot to talk about, Titus O'Neil's slide notwithstanding. Unfortunately the big event did not go off without controversy, a lot of which hit all over social media. Harry Smith, AKA Davey Boy Smith Jr may have made peace with Jake Roberts but the New Orleans police may not see it the same way. WWE Network may be bringing one of the long time syndicated programs to its airwaves. Aro Lucha has announced its next taping date. A former WWE Womens star is making her return to the ring and her opponent will be an old friend of Steve & Sean's. We have another interesting find coming out of Wednesday night's reveal in the Molly Wooward/Michael Elgin case. Also happening is a formerr WWE star is writing an autobiography, and wait until you hear who it is! All these stories and MORE with Steve, Sean and Katie- TONIGHT!

We have quite a loaded program according to our schedule tonight. As usual, card subject to change. The first time we had this gentleman on, we had a first for our show as we heard his manager at the time pull up to a drive thru window and order dinner. He was with our friends at the now defunct Paragon Pro Wrestling, this past Friday, he made his debut with our friends at Hoodslam at the appropriate (for them) 420 show. His name is spelled I-S-DOUBLE A-C-And put a $ at the end because he's MONEY-Royce Issacs! We wil also be hopefully be joined by Frank & Ranon Root of Rampage Championship Wrestling out of Southern IL they will have a lot to talk about after this past weekends HUGE event. We should (hopefully) also have our crazy traveling friend Paul Eubanks, Rick (Crusher) Knopff and Crimefighter, who will have more information on the closing of NWL in Missouri, which apparantly revived a few promotions that had shut down after the group's formation, along with the apparantly neverending saga of the (now) legal battle between Molly Woodward (alias Moses Malone) and Michael Elgin. We plan on having two hours of fun and wrestling talk for everyone to enjoy

The wrestling world woke to the sad news of the passing of one of the most legendary performers of our industry. Bruno Sammartino was a hero to the Italian American community and he gave back to it as well as to wrestling. Many only knew him from the magazines that our dear friend Bill Apter wrote and took photographs for. He was very close to Bruno and he is taking this very hard.

The first question is, "Who is left on SmackDown Live" to hold anyone's interest and outside of The Miz, who might be coming over to the Blue Brand to keep it watchable? In all, 19 wrestlers moved from SmackDown Live to RAW, most of whom you did not see on the air, but we will list them. The Casket Match on The Greatest Royal Rumble has been changed-TWICE. We'll talk about that as far as the who as well as the why. Lest we forget there's also a US pay-per-view coming up that we will cover. We also now know the details surrounding Jerry Lawler's stroke, and it's quite the story. In other news, there is a MAJOR real life feud boiling between two competeing East Coast promotions, the owner of one whom has been a guest on our shows. The controversy also involves a current Lucha Underground/Impact Wrestling star and on the show where it all blew up a former 205 Live star came back and was involved in a very controversial spot. Get ready, tonight is going to be loaded.

We had quite a lot of conversation last night about the big events surrounding WrestleMania week in New Orleans. Tonight we will continue on that path with a couple of our friends who were actually down in The Big Easy. We are confirmed to have our friend "The Voice" Paul Eubanks, and returning after a long absence with us "The Fallen Flower" Kikyo. Last time we talked with her was, oddly enough, on 4/20. Tonight she has an announcement for us regarding the new direction in her career. We will also hopefully be hearing from Rampage Championship Wrestling Promoter Frank Root who has been very very busy as of late and will have a lot of news with RCW to discuss. We apologize in advance but we could be joined again by Syn...we are sure he will have lots to say. Plus as always we are open invitation so you never know who will come.

Finally, it's WrestleMania week! For wrestling fans, this is the Super Bowl, World Series and Stanley Cup all rolled into one. If you are down in New Orleans, as big of a tourist trap as it is normally, this week it will look like downtown Niagara Falls, Ontario. There is literally a wrestling or wrestling related event on every corner. Now if you couldn't make it down there don't worry, there is one social media broadcaster that has you covered. Last night, RAW sewed up their end of the program. From Ronda Rousey getting put through a table at the beginning, to John Cena forlornly walking away when Undertaker did not show up for his last chance to respond to Cena's challenge to Brock Lesnar getting to his feet after taking FIVE Superman Punches to deliver an F5 to Roman Reigns to end the night, the Red roster did their part. Tonight, SmackDown Live is scheduled to bring on a legitimately ill Shane McMahon to do the last minute hype for his tag match with Daniel Bryan against Team Kammi. In terms of known matches for tonight, it's Rusev Day as The Baddest Bulgarian In The Building takes on the Maha (Ah-ha), Queen Charlotte Flair goes against Crazy Cat Lady and American Alpha 1.5 faces AJ Nakamura. In other news we will cover, a "wrestler" has made what we consider a fatal mistake by threatening one of the legitimately toughest guys in fighting. Was Braun Strowman's partner really at RAW last night? We know what matches will be on the WrestleMania pre-show. one of which involves a long time friend and coworker of Steve's. Speaking of that young man, he has a featured article on espn.com. There is a lot of stuff we have to cover so get ready for 2+ hors of fun and wrestling talk!
