WWE could not have found an easier way to annoy Mav, Maz and 'Plan if they tried than forcing Brock Lesnar back into their lives, so they spend the first half of this week's show bemoaning the return of the Beast. They then have a look at where the shotgun booking might be going, before switching gears to praise the AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins match, have a debate about the night the women's division had, and think about what would constitute a breaking point for their WWE fandom.

In this week's edition of Sports Entertainment is Dead, ‘Plan presents the traditional Performance Art Review of this last Sunday's biggest pay per view – Money in the Bank 2019! Refusing to cover the malignant main event and its horrible conclusion, ‘Plan instead focuses first on the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladders Match that opened the show, specifically as a piece of genre wrestling. He then moves onto the shared universe storytelling of Becky Lynch’s night and wraps up with a look at the sublimely wrestled and nostalgically styled Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles encounter.     Theme Song: Max Flashback   Artist: Lee Rosevere   Album: Music for Podcasts

Impact Wrestling returned to The Asylum in Nashville Wrestle Kingdom weekend, but due to the company's PPV model, the guys are just getting around to covering it.  The Lucha Bros took on LAX, the vacant X-Division title was decided in an Ultimate X match, Taya Valkyrie and Tessa Blanchard battled it out for the Knockouts Championship, and in the main event Johnny Impact defended against Brian Cage.  The guys also watched EVOLVE 127, so will discuss that, as well.  Plus, All Elite Wrestling have their first official event, Double or Nothing, this coming Saturday.  What are the guys' final thoughts on it?

It's time for ladders and briefcases and huge opportunities to come to the fore as WWE presents Money In The Bank! Who will earn a shot at the Champions on their choosing at any time, any place? We'll find out tonight, in addition to seeing exactly who those potential champions may be with multiple titles on the line. Join your host, former Late Shift host Steven Bell, as he takes a LIVE look at WWE's Money In The Bank PPV mere moments after the show goes off the air!

This week, The Doc is primed and ready for an intriguing WWE Money in the Bank card.  Rollins vs. Styles and Owens vs. Kofi provide an excellent one-two punch of title matches, with the signature gimmick bouts providing back-up; the rest of the card has filled out nicely, as well, with plenty of depth to further the reputation of Money in the Bank as the defacto fifth pay-per-view in a "Big 5."  Doc offers a quick-hitting but still densely packed preview ahead of tonight's event.  Then, he transitions to talking about All Elite Wrestling's first show coming up next Saturady.  Double or Nothing comes with tremendous enthusiasm and high expectations.  What does Doc want out of it besides great wrestling matches?

This week, 'Plan and Mav have a look at this weekend's Money In The Bank pay-per-view in the light of one of the poorest months of creative in recent memory. The boys begin by going into their thoughts on why the television has been so bad, and what they make of reports surrounding Vince's increasingly bizarre handling of creative. They then look match by match at the card for Sunday, pick some winners, and talk about some of their issues with the booking and writing of the show.

There are no big events this week, nothing absolutely shaking the wrestling world apart, and the guys didn't plan anything in particular, but that doesn't mean they can't bullshit about professional wrestling for a couple of hours.  The Best of the Super Juniors is underway, Ring of Honor and NJPW also just finished up the War of the Worlds tour, and supposedly an announcement is coming on Wednesday regarding All Elite Wrestling's television home and viewing options for Double or Nothing.  On a show that Jeff has constantly accused of being ADD, this will likely be the most ADD of them all.

This week, The Doc is joined by 2018 LOP Columnist of the Year, Sir Sam, for the Sunday Wrestling Conversation.  Sir Sam, borrowing an idea from LOP Columns legend, Prime Time, suggested that they look to their favorite sports to find possible WWE storyline opportunities largely unutilized in sports entertainment lore.  The Doc, for instance, looks to his spring-time obsession with playoff basketball for one of his ideas, which frankly would allow the often laborious stretch between post-WrestleMania and the start of Summerslam Season to engage the audience with matches that matter across television and PPV.  Sam counters with an idea that would send John Cena's legendary status to a different level, particularly with diehard wrestling fans who have often been repulsed by the concept of him breaking Ric Flair's World Title record.  It is a fun, spirited, and rather timely chat by The Doc and Sir Sam given the events of the week that brought us "The Wildcard Rule" for Raw and Smackdown, and they hope you'll join in on the discussion using social media.

This week, Mav and Maz discuss the momentous news the All Elite Wrestling have signed a deal with British terrestrial commercial broadcaster ITV to screen their second PPV 'Double Or Nothing' on ITV Box Office and the pre show on free to air ITV4. This is a huge deal and the boys discuss the potential effects of the upstart promotion getting a big platform to grow here in the UK, and what that might mean for competition in the industry moving forward.

In this week's edition of Sports Entertainment is Dead, ‘Plan discusses the issue of WWE’s overloaded raft of characters in the event rumours of the Brand Extension ending prove true!   With news that both USA and FOX are pushing for an end to the Brand Extension in the wake of dismal ratings, ‘Plan sits down and takes a look at the fact that WWE is overloaded with characters that will need rearranging should a single-roster system take hold once more. He starts by listing the three characters that would be first in line for cutting should the Extension come to an end, before going on to look at three he believes should be developed further and allowed a more central position in the same scenario.     Theme Song: Max Flashback   Artist: Lee Rosevere   Album: Music for Podcasts

This week, The Doc is continuing his enjoyment of the overall health of the professional wrestling industry.  He attended the NWA/ROH collaborative Crockett Cup last weekend and shares with you today his thoughts on the show's presentation and general vibe.  His attention then turns to last year, when Impact Wrestling bounced back from a hugely disappointing 2017 to gain back a lot of the good will it had lost; Doc gives his impression of the year that was for Impact in 2018.  Finally, Styles vs. Rollins for the Universal Championship gets a spotlight, as does the Money in the Bank card in general and the recent heel turn of Kevin Owens to set-up a WWE Title bout against Kofi Kingston.

With Money In The Bank just over a week away, Maz and Mav delve into the idea of there being a "big five" pay-per-views, with Money In The Bank arguably having assumed that "fifth major" status over the past nine years. The boys look back through the history of the show and the legacy of some of its greatest matches and moments, before switching gears to look at the event which was its equivalent in the 90s: King Of The Ring. Expect to hear discussion of why those shows are so fondly remembered, and why WWE would be well served to bring it back to the modern day audience. As ever, the discussion is lively and filled with mirth!

Starting with a little discussion about the importance of good pacing in the construction of a story, 'Plan goes on to explore the naturally conflicting characters of the defending Universal Champion and insurrectionist challenger – and why it is AJ Styles made a big mistake when he told Seth Rollins he was 'the next AJ Styles.'     Theme Song: Max Flashback   Artist: Lee Rosevere   Album: Music for Podcasts

It seems like every wrestling organization on the planet was having a major show in the New York/New Jersey area G1 Supercard weekend.  Everyone except All Elite Wrestling, of course.  The guys covered nXt and G1 Supercard last time around and this time they will dig into Major League Wrestling's Battle Riot II, as well as their previous big show, Intimidation Games.  Plus, the National Wrestling Alliance is still alive...kinda...and put on a joint show with Ring of Honor this past weekend, reviving the Crockett Cup to crown new NWA Tag Champions and all of their other titles were on the line, as well, including Marty Scurll trying to wrestle the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship away from the completely mediocre Nick Aldis.  The guys will discuss that, as well.

This week, The Doc is in a reflective mood.  The decade is fast coming to a close and it has been one of the most important of Doc's life.  As per usual, he is struggling to extract the WWE decade from his overall life, so to the pod he has gone with the intent of fully contextualizing how we have reached this current point in pro wrestling history.  Today begins a ten part journey that will conclude at the end of the year.  2010 goes under the bright lights first, and Doc finds it very interesting how the WWE decade began with a massive departure of all-time great wrestlers from the active roster and a consequent scramble to try and fill the various levels of void.  Past topics written and spoken about such as the Lost Generations of WWE headliners come back to the forefront and the stage gets set for what happened later while also celebrating the many achievements of the decade's first year.

In this week's edition of Sports Entertainment is Dead, it's Dean Ambrose week! 'Plan takes the opportunity to sit down and wax lyrical about the now recently departed Lunatic Fringe. 'Plan looks back, first of all, on the tragic but inspiring nature of Ambrose's character, one of the most fully formed but subtly presented (yeah, really!) in all of WWE lore. From there, it's time to reminisce about some classic Ambrose and Ambrose-centric matches from over the years. And, as a final word, 'Plan takes some time to extol what he believes to be the true legacy of one of the most formative and important figures in all of recent WWE history     Theme Song: Max Flashback   Artist: Lee Rosevere   Album: Music for Podcasts

This week, The Doc is joined for the Sunday Wrestling Conversation by two-thirds of the Outsider's Edge podcast hosted on the Chairshot Radio Network, Kyle Moores and good friend of the program, Rey Cash. The trio discuss the Superstar Shake-Up, specifically the matches that they are each most intrigued by (including one that Doc feels is this generation's Angle vs. Michaels). They converse at length about their temperature readings on All Elite Wrestling ahead of their first show next month, Double or Nothing, and bring up several unique talking points along with a name dropped that could be a game-changer, however unlikely his presence may be.  Finally, conversation turns to the Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan match at WrestleMania 35, which Doc was not ready to stop talking about after a recent replay made him wonder, "Just how high up would I place that match in WrestleMania history?"

This week, The Doc summarizes the experience that was the most recent WrestleMania weekend with a look back at his Top 10 matches and moments.  The WWE Hall of Fame got a bit of mention on account of one particularly memorable induction speech, NXT Takeover: New York quite frankly dominated with perhaps its all-time greatest card, and WrestleMania certainly delivered enough feel good moments to earn plenty of love too.  While Doc was not over the moon about The Show of Shows, he acknowledges that it offered some frefreshing big picture decision-making.  So, what made the list?  Check it out in this neat and tidy WrestleMania Weekend recap. Also, it's the finals of the March Mayhem tournament to crown the best wrestler in the enitre world.  Top overall seed, Kenny Omega, battles the 2nd seed from the Blackheart regional, Seth Rollins.

It was a night of historic proportions. For the first time ever, the biggest show in pro wrestling was headlined by women as Rhonda Rousey, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch went at it in a triple threat with everything on the line. That's just the tip of the iceberg, though, as The Granddaddy of Them All brought us multiple title matches, the return of The Animal and very likely a few surprises to top it all off, not to mention one of the greatest feelgood moment in recent years as Kofi Kingston went to battle against Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship.  Join your hosts, Samuel Plan and Steven Bell, here on AfterShock as they break down all the happenings from the big show from top to bottom and everything in between!

This week, The Doc has put together a rapid fire WrestleMania 35 preview for you, focusing on the key themes that will shape the success of tonight's historic show.  It is the biggest night in wrestling and the card features several match-ups that resonate on a deeper level with the diehard audience than has become customary in recent years.  The Universal Title, WWE Championship, and Women's Title bouts all feel like must-wins for the protagonists, but there are plenty of other matches that could also offer satisfying run-times and "moments."  WWE needs to have an exemplary night, regardless of how many hours of our attention that they demand; no Big 4 pay-per-view in the "more is more" era of overly long shows has been able to join the pantheon of classic special events, so WWE needs to prove that this style can equal the success of past shows or risk losing diehard fans who are tiring of the age of excess.  The potential is there...can they maximize it?  Doc covers a lot of ground to help set the stage for answering that question and many others.

This coming Friday will be the first time in nearly six decades that a non-WWF/WWE show will be held in the Mecca of Professional Wrestling, Madison Square Garden.  While there was never a guarantee, there is no question that this show was sold on the backs of guys that are no longer wrestling for New Japan and Ring of Honor.  Kenny Omega, Nick and Matt Jackson, Cody Rhodes, and Hangman Page are now with a well-backed, but fledgling organization while their former home companies are hosting the biggest show in their existence.  Yes, NJPW has run shows in front of very large crowds at the Tokyo Dome, this is the first time they are front and center on a national stage.  You don't run a show at MSG--on Wrestlemania Weekend, no less--without it being shots fired on WWE.  So, how did they do putting together the card and how excited are the guys to see it? The guys will also preview nXt Takeover New York, which already had its legs cut out from under it a bit, but still has an incredible lineup of matches the guys can't wait to see.  This will be a jampacked show about jampacked shows, so don't miss it!

This week, it's the Sunday Wrestling Conversation, and on this occasion The Doc is joined by LOP's long-running recapper of NXT's weekly Network show and writer of the Cool Points rankings columns dedicated to the yellow brand, a good friend of the program, J Cool.  Much has happened in NXT since the last time JC and Doc had a conversation on this podcast ahead of Takeover: Brooklyn IV.  NXT is heading back to New York next weekend; what to make of the latest Takeover card is certainly at the forefront of the discussion today, but they also tackle such topics as the main roster call-up process and whether or not a change is coming to off-set the generally poor transitions initiated by WWE proper in the last two or so years.  The conversation seems destined to dovetail into many asides, so join Doc and JC and listen to how it all plays out!

This week, 'Plan and Mav conclude their mini series on the best WWE matches of the decade by looking at the 2017-2019 period. Although a creative down time for WWE, there are a surprising amount of quality PPV matches to discuss, including those that formed the renaissance of the Intercontinental Title, a Wrestlemania Kingslaying, a fatal five way, some forgotten midcard gems, and some Shield classics at Summerslam, Survivor Series, and Fast Lane. As always, there are diversions and japes aplenty!

No, I didn't spell that wrong.  We're talking about "Filthy" Tom Lawlor, not Jerry Lawler.  Tonight we'll be discussing the events of MLW from late 2018 until February 2, 2019--Episodes 36-43 (Superfight) where Tom Lawlor finally got his hands on Low Ki and ended the 15 year undefeated streak of "The Professional."  Also in MLW are the Lucha Bros, Sami Callahan, and everybody's favorite--Shane Strickland.   We'll also discuss the New Japan Cup, All Elite Wrestlin, and more.

This week, the upcoming challenge for Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship by Seth Rollins is at the forefront of Doc's mind.  As a big fan of the Architect, he is of course hopeful that a run with the big red belt will begin for Rollins at WrestleMania, but his more dominating thoughts are of what a great match in such a high profile position against such a polarizing opponent could mean to the burgeoning WrestleMania legacy of the Beast Slayer.  Rollins has had a tremendous career already, and he has a resume on the grandest stage without peers among his contemporaries; win the title from Brock and do it in glorious fashion and words like "legendary" could start being used in reference to Seth more readily.  Also, Doc takes a trip down Memory Lane to talk about one of his all-time favorites, Edge, whose own WrestleMania legacy Doc finds to be underrated in its upper echelon status.

It's a special feature length edition of Sports Entertainment is Dead this week, as 'Plan sits down to provide part one of his performance art view on what he likes to call “The WrestleMania Tetralogy” - The Undertaker's matches against Shawn Michaels and Triple H at WrestleManias 25 through XXVIII. In this first part, 'Plan explains his view on the Tetralogy itself – a four-part overarching story spanning four editions of The Showcase of Immortals. Then, watch the matches along with 'Plan in real time as he revisits first the legendary encounter between Mr WrestleMania and The Streak at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania and, latterly, the epic Career vs. Streak rematch from WrestleMania XXVI – all the while, 'Plan running down his interpretation of how the two matches connect, lead into their sequels in following years and contain symbolism, subtext, character arcs and more, not just in bell to bell time but in all the window dressing too.

This week, The Doc debuts a new monthly tradition called "The Sunday Wrestling Conversation," during which a guest will join him for near hour-long hearty chat about pro wrestling.  Fittingly, he is joined on this maiden voyage by long-time friend of the program, Rich Latta.  They tackle such topics as what makes New Japan Pro Wrestling such an attractive organization for diehard wrestling fans; it was Rich who most strongly and consistently advocated that Doc direct his jadedness toward WWE at NJPW, and it took Doc little time at all, once committing to New Japan World, to see that their presentation was just what the doctor ordered to heal his wrestling fandom.  For the first time, Doc talks at length about a promotion besides WWE on his podcast; he and Rich discuss NJPW in the post-"Kenny Omega is a Top 3 New Japan star" world and the rise of Jay White.  Also, the dynamic duo dive into the topic of wrestler empowerment and a movement within the industry for wrestlers to take greater control of their destinies, mirroring the kind of movement that has given players so much more control in the NBA.

As we have complained about before, it takes months for Impact to add their PPVs onto their Global Wrestling Network streaming service and they charge $40 per event when they first air live.  Charging that much for a PPV has been outdated since February of 2014, when WWE Network launched.  So, here it is 4 1/2 months later and Shane and Jeff are finally reviewing their October 14 effort, Bound For Glory.  Was it as good as Slammiversary?  What do they think of Austin Aries' actions after he laid down for Johnny Impact to crown a new World Champion? Also, this coming Wednesday is New Japan Pro Wrestling's 47th Anniversary Show and two days later the New Japan Cup starts.  The guys will preview both in this jam-packed episode. @Reejecoap @XanManLOP Facebook.com/Kingdom of Honor

With the sudden realisation that we are but months away from the end of a wrestling decade, 'Plan and Mav decide to discuss the matches they might put in contention for match of the decade honours.

Every year around this time New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor hold joint shows in Japan.  Basically, Ring of Honor shows in Japan also utilizing NJPW talent.  This year's events were full of title matches.  TK O'Ryan challenged Jay Lethal for the ROH World Championship, Hirooki Goto challenged Jeff Cobb for the ROH TV TItle, FinnJuice challenged The Briscoes for the ROH World Tag Titles, Guerrillas of Destiny challenged EVIL & SANADA for the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Titles, Dalton Castle challenged Will Ospreay for the NEVER Openweight Championship, and the ad hoc team of Colt Cabana, Delirious, & Cheeseburger challenged Toru Yano, Togi Makabe, & Rysyke Taguchi for the NEVER 6-Man Titles.  The guys will give their thoughts on these shows, plus catching up a little, they will discuss MLW's first ever Battle Riot.

The Doc Says is back.  When you last heard from him, his pro wrestling fandom was on life support, but these past five months have rejuvenated him; the break provided an opportunity to get away from the toxic week-to-week WWE viewing habits that had come to define his podcasting and column writing routine for years, and the result was the opportunity to see what the rest of the wrestling world had to offer - and, ladies and gentlemen, was it ever refreshing.  Lucha Underground...New Japan Pro Wrestling...revamped WWE habits with a particular focus on watching the interesting stuff and ignoring the rest...deep diving NXT Takeover history...basically, folks, it was a period of Doc getting back to being Doc.  This week, he explains the aim of his return and the definite major purpose of The Doc Says podcast moving forward.  Long-time followers of Doc's work across multiple platforms may recall his enjoyment in mixing his other passions in with his pro wrestling interest, which leads into an introduction on today's show of MARCH MAYHEM, a 65-man tournament to crown the Best Wrestler in the World, March Madness style!  Doc assembled a committee to create the bracket, the seedings and match-ups for which will be revealed during the show (and in visual form later today on Twitter).

This week, Mav and 'Plan look over the creative direction of WWE in the aftermath of Elimination Chamber; it was another case of one step forwards and two steps back, as the company delivered an excellent, well thought out pay-per-view only to follow up with two bizarre episodes of television including ice cold introductions to the main roster for four of NXT's brightest stars. The boys ponder the state of the writing and the creative process of WWE (be warned- ranting!) before having a think about the Road to Wrestlemania in a little more detail, including where the Smackdown title picture might be headed, and whether (gulp) more part timers might be coming out of the woodwork.

All Elite Wrestling is starting up soon and while they have a good base, they are going to need to add some talent.  Meanwhile, WWE has an embarassment of riches in the talent department.  They have so many they can't figure out what to do with hardly any of them.  Tonight Shane and Jeff will look at main roster guys who either aren't being used well or have done pretty much everything possible in WWE and bring them over to AEW in draft order.  Should be an interesting discussion.

In this week's edition, ‘Plan sits down and begins an in-depth exploration of the way in which the Royal Rumble Match has evolved from a novelty match in 1988 to one of the most important and fun matches of every given WWE year in 2018, all by inspecting the five most important and inherent tropes of the Rumble when seen as a performance art genre. Over the course of the hour, ‘Plan opens up about his views on the Iron Man Runs of Rumble lore, the Favourites to win and the two key types of performance they often offer up, how it is that the Past Meets Present sometimes effectively but with increasing toxicity as the years have gone by, how important the core conceit of Every Man For Himself is and why 1992’s addition of tangible stakes mattered so much and, finally, the effectiveness of the Final Passage of any given Rumble bout’s conclusion – all of this to better understand what makes for a great Rumble, a poor Rumble and everything in between over the course of its long and varied history!       Theme Song: Max Flashback   Artist: Lee Rosevere   Album: Music for Podcasts

In what has been a busy pro wrestling season, this was probably the second busiest weekend of the year.  Not only did WWE hold the Crown Jewel debacle in an ill-advised move Friday, but NJPW had Power Struggle early Saturday morning,  the Streaming for Vengeance PPV portion of Chris Jericho's Rock & Wrestling Rager at Sea aired on both Fite TV and for Honor Club Satuday night, and then last night Ring of Honor's own Survival of the Fittest!  Your X-Patriot, XanMan, and The Honorable Jeff will cover as much of the shows we cared about--and therefore you did--as we can in two hours. Facebook/Kingdom of Honor @XanManLOP @Reejecoap

This week, for the final time, The Doc takes to the LOP Radio airwaves to say goodbye.  His abrupt early retirement from podcasting was stimulated by a lengthy series of WWE events, with Brock Lesnar's return at Hell in a Cell the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.  The main reason for today's show is simply to say goodbye and to thank a lot of peope who made hosting nearly 300 podcasts these past five and a quarter years so special to him and his experience as "The Doc" Chad Matthews, but there will be a lot of storytelling along the way as well as a lengthy "Ask The Doc" Q&A.  Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen, for making this show a part of your lives over the years; I think you'll find this a fitting last episode.

'Plan and Maverick break down the action from WWE's controversial Crown Jewel show, LIVE!

In between big NJPW and Ring of Honor shows (King of Pro Wrestling airs early this morning) Shane and Jeff were going to simply watch what many are calling the greatest Impact/TNA pay per view of all time--Slammiversary from back in July--for the first time and review it.  Then ROH comes along and announces that for the second time in a month they are going to air a big CMLL show on Honor Club--this time International Gran Prix 2018; so we will be going over both for you; and if time allows we will also preview what looks like an excellent Glory by Honor card.

Join your host, LOP Radio mainstay Steven Bell, as he rambles aimlessly about WWE and life in general, occasionally striking upon something meaningful or insightful. Mostly just having fun and doing silly voices, though. The theme of this episode is, as you may have seen in the title, Binge and Purge. What does that mean, exactly? Well, in the first part of the show we discussed the binge of WWE events going down in and around October this year and how hyping them all may be underserving the others. Part of that is a discussion on the international market and how the presentation of shows like Super Show-Down as something that looks good on paper but ultimately plays out as a glorfied house show may eventually start to result in diminishing returns. The second half of the show is a bit more personal, with a purge of in general life stuff going on at the moment and how pro wrestling plays its part in it. A heavy part of that discussion is how something as trivial as WWE or wrestling may ultimately mean a lot to someone in a given situation, and why we should all perhaps try to be a big more kind to our fellow fans out there. A bit of variety this time around, but that's the way it's always been. Hopefully you enjoy it

WWE has traveled Down Under to bring us another major international event in Super Show-Down! We here at Aftershock are coming prepared, too, as your usual hosts, Steven Bell and Samuel 'Plan, will be joined by LOP's own resident Aussie, SirSam! Who will walk away with the WWE Championship when Samoa Joe and AJ Styles face off in a match that must have a winner? Can Charlotte succeed in taking back the Smackdown Women's Championship from former bestie, Becky Lynch? Who will be named the #1 contender to either Joe or AJ when Daniel Bryan and The Miz continue their feud in to determine the top challenger? Can The Shield topple Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre? And who will walk out of the much hyped "last time ever" singles showdown between Triple H and The Undertaker? We'll get the answers to those questions and many more on the big show and LOPR Aftershock will be here to break it all down LIVE shortly after the event concludes!

On this week's show Mazza and Plan look ahead to WWE's Super Showdown special event in Australia.  They kick things off looking at the hometown heroes and their chances of victory.  Can the IIconics pull off a shock and can Buddy Murphy take away that cruiserweight gold.  They have a look at the numerous tag team bouts on the red brand and the big stakes singles bouts in the SmackDown Live main event scene.  They discuss the battle of the old blokes as well as the one they are most looking forward to, the women's title match from the blue brand.

Death Before Dishonor is always one of Ring of Honor's biggest shows of the year.  Your X-Patriot, Shane "XanMan" Sebunia and Jeff break down what happened on the show.  CHAOS and The Bullet Club faced off in a 10-man tag match, The Briscoes defended their World Tag Team Titles against a desperate Addiction team, Kenny King in a special challenge match against Jushin Thunder Liger, and Punishment Martinez defended the TV Title against the always excellent Chris Sabin, and, of course, Jay Lethal defending the big one against Will Ospreay.

Did you know that Chris Jericho was the first ever Undisputed Champion? And that he beat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night to achieve this feat? In consecutive matches, no less? Yeah, you probably knew that. But when's the last time you watched it? RetroShock has got you covered, as Steven Bell and Samuel 'Plan put the vote to you, the listener, and you all chose Vengeance 2001 as the show we'll be covering this month. In addition to the Undisputed Championship mini-tournament matches, there's plenty more to discuss about the show, up to and including one of Steven's personal favorite Big Evil era Undertaker matches against Rob Van Dam. Add in the whole Invasion mess that had just ended and discussion of the somewhat wonky vibe within the wrestling industry at the time and, well, we've got a lot of fun stuff to discuss. So join us here LIVE as LOP Radio's RetroShock takes a look back at WWF Vengeance 2001!

On this week's show, Mazza and Plan take a look at Maz's new Lords of Pain column, the WWE Power 10, and discuss recurring themes from the first few weeks.  The column lists the 10 best performances of the week in the WWE and is voted for by their fellow LOP columnists.  With the fifth edition on the way, the guys look at a few things the series has highlighted so far.  The rise of Becky Lynch.  The re-emergence of Dolph Ziggler alongside Drew McIntyre.  The strength of Samoa Joe's character work and the contrast to the WWE Champion.  Tune in for their thoughts on all this and more.

Death Before Dishonor 2018 is almost here and to whet your appetite, your X-Patriot, Shane "XanMan" Sebunia, and Jeff break down Ring of Honor's June pay per view, Best in the World.  Matt Hardy apparently retired this weekend, so we will break down his career.  CMLL had their 85th Anniversary this weekend and we'll talk about that a little, plus some of the happenings at Destruction in Hiroshima.  Professional Wrestling is busy as all get out right now!

The most prolific battleground in WWE returns as the Hell In A Cell PPV comes our way with plenty of grudges set to be settled inside the structure! What sort of chaos will Jeff Hardy bring to the Cell as he enters it for the first time in his effort to gain revenge on the diabolical Randy Orton? Will Becky Lynch be able to overcome her former best friend, Charlotte, to finally get her hands on the Smackdown Women's Championship? Can the dominant team of Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler maintain said dominance and their Tag Team gold when they step into the ring with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins? Can Ronda Rousey maintain her own dominant streak and knock off the persistent and cagey Alexa Bliss? And what will happen when the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman, finally gets his hands on Roman Reigns inside the Cell with the Universal Championship on the line? We'll have the answers to those questions and more when LOP Radio's Aftershock hits the air shortly after the PPV ends! Join your hosts, Steven Bell and Samuel 'Plan, as they break down the show in full with plenty of opinions and hot takes along the way!

Steven Bell is back in the saddle with a new show taking a look at the WWE product as a whole. From predictions to rants to good old over analysis, AATG on LOPR is your one stop shop for all sorts of pro wrestling goodness. On this, the debut episode, Steven takes a look at tonight's Hell in a Cell PPV event, giving opinions on all the major storylines in the company while making some officially official predictions. From thoughts on Becky Lynch and Braun Strowman's "heel" turns to how this show will lead into next month's big Evolution show and everything in between, lots of ground was covered. Lots of fun was had, too. Game on!

This week, it's pay-per-view week! Mav and 'Plan are your guides to the Hell In A Cell card, and they're cautiously optimistic! The line up itself looks fun, despite the weirdness of Orton vs Hardy, and it's refreshing to live in a post-Lesnar landscape. Expect discussion on the women's revolution, the rise of Strowman, Shield vs DrewDolph, and much much more. As always, mirth is obligatory!

Perfect 10 Wrestling host Matt Maher (a.k.a. LordsofPain.net columnist The Implications)  plays Worst Case Scenarios! The game is to book the upcoming WWE PPV as badly as possible. The wrong winners, destroy momentum, set up the most dreadful storylines. Can YOU book it worse? (probably yes) WWE Hell in a Cell is once again upon us... yeah, I can't even fiegn it, I'm not hyped at all. But who doesn't like steel? Ey?

This week, The Doc excitedly previews Hell in a Cell, his first honest to goodness preview podcast to be labeled with a term like "excitedly" since WrestleMania.  Bottom line: he is digging what WWE is doing right now and finds the product far more engaging today than he has in much longer than several months, if he is being honest.  A four to five match competition for Match of the Night fueled by more interesting television has Doc feeling good about this pay-per-view's potential.  So, if you need some enthusiasm in your life, this podcast will do your wrestling fandom some good.  Also, Doc explores WWE's recent trend of promoting three separate special events on Raw each week, with a great deal of focus of course on Hell in a Cell, but prominently ensuring that nobody ignores Super Showdown or Evolution.

Naming the Wrestler of The Week & The Lebron James "U Bum" of the week are named, along with clowning WWE's obsession with putting cops in their stories. Too much to detail. Enjoy The Show!

After a debut episode focusing on the wonderfulness that was ALL IN, Shane "XanMan" Sebunia and Jeff coming at you again and this time it's with a packed show!.  We will be discussing some New Japan Pro Wrestling, the National Wrestling Alliance, and the latest on nXt, ALL IN, Being The Elite, and 10 Pounds of Gold! @XanManLOP @reejecoap

Your X-Patriot, "XanMan" Shane Sebunia, and Jeff preview the important matches for the three NJPW Destruction shows coming up in the next couple of weeks.  Kazuchika Okada tries to win the G1 Climax winner briefcase from Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kenny Omega defends the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Tomohiro Ishii, Tetsuya Naito challenges Minoru Suzuki, Hirooki Goto defends the NEVER Openweight TItle against Taichi, and more.  @XanManLOP @reejecoap

With Hell in a Cell on the horizon, Mazza, Maverick and Plan are back to take a look at some match-ups that should have taken place within the demonic structure.  The guys cover all the eras in modern WWE history as they send pairings into the steel mesh.  Who could have benefitted from a cell match in the current era?  What would be an alternative to the very first cell pairing of The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels?  What if the first cell match came five years earlier?  They look at some of the great rivalries and even some that never happened and imagine what they would have been like had they taken place in Hell in a Cell.

This week, The Doc is #ALLIN, which is to say that he is in a reflective mood following the success of arguably the biggest independent wrestling experiment in professional wrestling history; it was a big deal, and it deserves our attention.  Also on Doc's mind is the character dichotomy developing between Braun Strowman and The Shield; is this a clear cut case of WWE making everything about Roman Reigns or is this a better example of WWE putting its trust in the modern era and giving it the chance to figure things out at the main-event level after a part-timer dominated 18 months?  Finally, Doc ends his annual tradition of naming the Top 10 WWE stars of the Summerslam-to-Summerslam cycle using his WrestleMania Era-inspired formula.  Who made the cut?  Who topped the list?

Your X-Patriot, "XanMan" Shane Sebunia; your usual voice for New Japan Pro Wrestling on LOP Radio is now going to be on every Monday with his friend Jeff with a show focusing on Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling.  Shane was ALL IN this past weekend in Chicago while Jeff watched it live on Honor Club and they will discuss their individual perspectives of such great contests as Marty Scurll vs Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega vs. Pentagon, and Cody vs. Nick Aldis.  And, of course, the 6-Man main event of The Golden Elite taking on Rey Mysterio, Fenix, and Bandito.  Jeff thought Joey Janela would be killed by Shane's boy, Hangman Page, in the Chicago Street Fight.  Did it happen?  Tune in and find out.

On this week's show, Mazza, Plan and Maverick take a look at the recent IWC uproar surrounding Becky Lynch and Braun Strowman's apparent heel turns.  They take a deeper look at both individual cases with the surrounding circumstances and the strength of the stories.  The discuss where they could end up and also what could go wrong.  They also go back through history to look at similar examples and the consistencies with how these current arcs compare to those of yesteryear.

This week, The Doc is joined by LOP's Eternal Optimist, Dave Fenichel, to discuss the controversial Becky Lynch heel turn, the rumored card for the first all-women's pay-per-view in WWE, and the Road to WrestleMania 35 for the Smackdown main-event scene.  Spoiler, both are at least relatively high on the idea of self-righteous Becky, while maintaining an awareness of the potential problems on the horizon should Lynch be unable to gain acceptance as a villain; and both are on board with the concept of Miz vs. Bryan for the WWE Title at WrestleMania, while each maintain a healthy skepticism that the feud can be extended for that long.  Also, Doc welcomes Fenichel's thoughts on the Wrestlers of the Month and the Match of the Month for August.

(Reejecoap) will be going live to discuss the card for the show, possible implications for the future, as well as a few other things from around the wrestling world.

It's that time again! The nostalgia train is rolling and your pals Steven Bell and Samuel 'Plan are jumping aboard. Our destination this time around? January of 1994 and the WWF Royal Rumble. One of the more pivotal events in the New Generation, the '94 Rumble laid the groundwork for some of the most impactful and long lasting feuds of the era. From The Undertaker vs Yokozuna in a legendary Casket match for the WWF Championship to a controversial Royal Rumble ending that is still discussed to this day, all the way to the great debate over who, exactly, screwed who? Bret or Owen? Did Bret deserve to have his leg kicked out of his leg? Sam and Steven will DEFINITELY be debating that final one and discussing much, much more as they sink their teeth into what is a personal favorite event for both. So join them and hold on tight as RetroShock heads back to the 1994 WWF Royal Rumble event!

This week, Mav and 'Plan are excited for the new era in WWE! With Brock Lesnar finally leaving, the product has been reborn, and the boys like what they see. They'll discuss the freshness at the top of the card on Raw, talk about why The Shield reformation actually feels like the purest version of The Shield since 2013, and get into the benefits of shared universe storytelling (it wouldn't be the Pond without it). Expect them to also cover the top of the Smackdown scene, including Joe and AJ and Miz and Bryan, and also some of what they liked on NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV, before rounding off with some thoughts about what might happen in Melbourne and at Hell in a Cell. As always, there's banter aplenty!

This week, The Doc is joined by LOP and One Nation Radio's Rich Latta to discuss and review NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV and Summerslam 2018, as well as the latter's immediate aftermath.  The reception to the show has been mixed, which depending on your perspective could mean that it exceeded or missed the mark of expectations.  Doc was fairly pleased, though he still acknowledges some of the show's fundamental flaws worked against him being overwhelmingly positive about it.  Rich?  Well, we'll see.  Dave Fenichel, The Eternal Optimist, will likely join toward the end to put his usual happy spin on things.  It is sure to be a very fun conversation!

This week, The Doc is feeling pretty good about the world of professional wrestling!  Yes, seriously.  After a weekend spent reconnecting with his purer fandom of sports entertainment, he is ready for Summerslam, in spite of its borderline intelligence-insulting main-event.  There are a lot of good things to like about this Big 4 weekend, thanks as usual to the influx of potential weekend-stealers from our friends down in NXT.  LOP's resident NXT guru, J Cool, joins the first half of the show for a spirited discussion about Takeover: Brooklyn IV, and then Doc flies solo for his rundown of the Summerslam card, about which he asks and answers some intriguing questions, including but limited to whether or not Bryan vs. Miz will go down as an all-time Summerslam classic.

On this week's show Mazza, Maverick and Plan are here to look ahead to the red half of the SummerSlam card.  It's not an easy task for the guys to get excited for much Raw is doing right now however they do try to find a couple of bright spots on the horizon that is dominated by an absent champion and a fan-rejected challenger.  Will Brock finally drop the title?  Will Roman finally win the title.  And what about the ridiculously named Monster in the Bank and everybody else who may or may not deserve to be getting more shine right now.  Stay tuned for plenty of rants from UK.

This week, The Doc is joined by Jordan Fox of The Chair Shot and Indy Wrestling Radio to discuss the Summerslam card, specifically how the current build compares to past Summer Classics, the possibilities of a Money in the Bank cash-in, and the ramifications of Charlotte Flair on the Smackdown Women's Title match.  That conversation takes place in the second half of the show.  In the first half, Jordan tells the story of his opioid addiction and how his sobriety has been reinforced by chasing his dream of being in the wrestling business.  Far too often, especially as of late, wrestling brings us together to gripe about the WWE product's deficiencies, but today is about letting one person's story with professional wrestling teach us (or at least remind us) of an important life lesson and encourage us to live life one day at a time.  Disclaimer - this episode may not be suitable for children; parental discretion is advised.
