Episodes
-
Lady's Choice | Pro Grapplers
It's fitting that possibly the final episode of Pro Grapplers is packed to the brim with wrestling to talk about while also being on the cusp of live wrestling on TV getting absolutely bonkers. The women of WWE/NXT were rightfully given the spotlight recently, so why aren't we getting another...
-
Going Defiantly To Thy Rest | Pro Grapplers
Just the highlights from here on out, folks! The 24/7 title has a new look, face, and feel, but is it enough to keep it at the top of the pile of WWE championships? Are The OC (don't call them that) truly now a threat? Is Bryan's career-altering announcement that he now has his fork lift driver's...
-
Road Sable | Pro Grapplers
Our focus on WWE Network (freshly redesigned, to varying degrees of success!) this week nets a bounty of highlights, like Oney Lorcan's quest for House of Mouse money, a great Swerve/Gulak 205 main event, WALTER and IMPERIUM completing their DOMINANCE of British Strong Style, Kay Lee Ray mind...
-
It's a Cuckoff | Pro Grapplers
Two more weeks away gives the guys too much to talk about! Aleister's out of his room! New Day's bumpin' titles! Buddy Murphy ... spoke! Kevin Owens is now a top guy! Truth is ... still 24/7 champ! Drake still hasn't consummated his marriage! The Fiend is here! Natalya and Ember have title shots!...
-
Might As Well Be A Ken Doll Now | Pro Grapplers
Before we see what new chicanery Heyman and Bischoff can get up to pre-Extreme Rules, take a listen as the guys run down the most important questions of the past couple of weeks. Will Sarah Logan go full viking? Will Aleister finally come out of his room? Does R-Truth have a ceiling vis a vis the...
-
The Chair of Omens | Pro Grapplers
It's time to kick ass! It's time to take names! It's time to remember those names in case you kick too much ass and need to identify someone later. It's STOMPING GROUNDS! Will Bray creep everyone out as the special ref? Will Brock grace us with his presence? Will Lacey begin her preordained…
more -
The Bad Kind of F5 Tornado | Pro Grapplers
Shane McMahon is ruining both main roster shows, and we go in depth on the who, what, where, and why of fixing this whole mess. Mad that they're ruining things like Sami and Kevin's renewed on-air friendship or even ROMAN REIGNS? Us too! Non-main roster WWE is still poppin' though, as NXT UK…
more -
I've Seen a Panama Sunrise | Pro Grapplers
When you start the (wrestling) week with a TakeOver, it's never a bad week! And Cole's new championship, Shirai remembering her badassness, and a Riddle/Strong rad throwdown are enough to help us forget all about the blood money-equivalent mess across the pond. Steve's got some lowlights from…
more -
Who's The Dog Now, Man? | Pro Grapplers
AEW showed us their hand and what a hand it was! Hear the guy's thoughts on why indie battle royals shouldn't be missed, why Jericho and Omega both looked like old dudes, and how Jason wants a throne of minions of his own. NXT TakeOver is going down in a few hours, and the fellas are stoked to…
more -
Money in the Baggins | Pro Grapplers
WWE is spinning it's wheels after Money in the Bank, looking forward to the blood money show, so what can fill the void? How about a brand new(-ish) product in AEW? The guys talk a bit about Double or Nothing, including the Reynolds vs. Reynolds match The Shinkicker can't wait to see and whether…
more -
Praying For Your Butt | Pro Grapplers
After discussing our excitement at both Bray's big reveal and AEW's TV news, it's all Money in the Bank, baby! We think Nese should retain, Roman should dominate Elias, Shane should jump off the cage (and lose), Natalya should reveal her master plan and win MITB, Becky should go back to one belt,...
-
Beard Beef | Pro Grapplers
Local talent gave out some big wins, Tozawa killed Kannellis and no one saw it, a hot Glasgow crowd gave NXT UK one of their best shows, Adam Cole can't admit to himself that he might be the problem, the WILD CARD RULE gave us hot new matchups like two WrestleMania rematches, the Revival…
more -
Vega Brings Home The Turkey | Pro Grapplers
Bray kept it weird and creepy, MITB came into focus and it seems like it's months away, the Raw women's roster continues to disappoint, Steve still can't tell which one is Fire and which one is Desire, the Singh Bros made their 205 debut, WALTER chopped Devlin's soul into oblivion, Kushida proved...
-
Johnny Gargan-Bro | Pro Grapplers
Last week, we met Robert Roode for the first time ever, welcome Bray Wyatt back to our family living rooms, saw The Viking Raiders, War Raiders, and Viking Warriors all in the same week, witnessed AJ Styles doing his best work in a year, saw SmackDown's women's roster take two steps back, watched...
-
PG 122: You're Either Uce, Or You're Viking
The Shakeup is complete, and we hope your favorite guy or gal has ended up in a good place! We now know the Miz bleeds red (for Raw, of course); THE VIKING EXPERIENCE has arrived, even though no one has ever heard of them before; the women's roster is on SmackDown (including our precious pirate...
-
PG 121: Sorry, Sarah
We can finally say, with confidence, that belts ain't just for holdin' up your pants anymore! There's so much to cover in this episode, we're just going to say it covers TakeOver: New York, WrestleMania: Almost New York, Raw and SmackDown Live: Close Enough To New York, the fallout from all of...
-
PG 120: Jump Off a Killian Dain
We're almost there, and WWE can't stop mucking things up as we prepare for landing! Why are the Riott Squad (like, 1/5 of the women's roster) jobbing out to people they have no business fighting in the first place? Does Dean realize he's reverse-Strowmaning himself (You're not finished with me...
-
PG 119: The Jammy One
We predicted one more bad Raw before WrestleMania arrives, and surely that will be the only one, right? After railing against Angle's choice for his final opponent and Ricochet's first-ever match with former WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal, the guys focus on the positives, including Kofi's amazing run...
-
PG 118: Chekov's Railing
Did you know you needed to see a Mexican standoff on the top rope? Neither did we, and WWE managed to surprise us with other things this week, too! We didn't expect to see a horrible apron finish twice in the same week, or Kofi getting impossibly screwed on his road to KofiMania, or Ali getting…
more -
PG 117: The Kennel of Confounding
We're so close to WrestleMania we can taste the gold in our mouths already (does that make us Brits?)! Ciampa is injured and all of NXT is being rewritten as a result. Meanwhile, Banks and Devlin are turning out tremendous matches on the UK brand, possibly closing their storied feud. And Fastlane...
-
PG 116: Burchin' Lorcan!
Roman is better (and back!), Batista's back to end Evolution forever, Blackochet is here and you better like it, KO took Kofi's spot and that's ... fine?, R-Truth is John Cena and that's ... also fine?, The Hardyz are back and probably for the last time, the UK brand spends another week in…
more -
PG 115: The Weird Kids From Florida
The only thing better than the inevitable Raw women's title match at Mania is Kofi Kingston renaming it KofiMania and taking over the whole damn show. We also got a great title match on NXT this week, and four guys from the black and gold brand showed up on the main roster to raise some hell to...
-
PG 114: I Have One Speed And It's Zelina Vega
Before we get to our Elimination Chamber chat, we have to give the other WWE shows some love. Dijakovic, Street Profits, Cole, and Ricochet all impressed this week on NXT, and also showed how much fun it is when your non-feuding superstars interact with one another. NXT UK was in the U.S. for a...
-
PG 113: Intellectual Peers
Steve was in attendance for SmackDown this week, so he gives his thoughts on that experience, including how awesome an appearance by THE MAN truly is, enjoying Daniel Bryan face reactions for one, fleeting night, the sonic dream that is the IIconics, and why his son still can’t understand what...
-
PG 112: Too Many Powermans
It was a memorable Rumble weekend, and now … everyone’s leaving? After the guys discuss the functionality of a scorecard, they get to talking about the stellar week that was in wrestling. Among their topics: War Raiders had the best entrance of the week, no contest; Gargano is officially Johnny...
-
PG 111: You Do You, Count
Man, these belts (sorry, titles) are getting so heavy! No wonder they keep getting forgotten at home. But we have bigger concerns this Rumble weekend, like: What will the women's title picture look like after Sunday? Is Ronda leaving? Fantasy booking is fun again with the creation of AEW! Are we...
-
PG 110: To Bang An Uso
We're keeping score now, and Jason comes up shy, meaning he has to grapple with the future of Mandy Rose as a face against all odds. Plus, the guys were wowed by the first TakeOver for the UK brand, including how truly strong the boy, Bate, is, deciding what constitutes an aerial move, and how…
more -
PG 109: Incontinent? Change It!
We ran down the past week in WWE before giving our predictions for the first-ever NXT UK TakeOver event. Our discussions include: Seth burns it down by eliminating HHH's water intake; Sasha is up next and it's about damn time; the New Bryan is forcing hot dog throw sells; Shane still doesn't...
-
PG 108: Conkicko
It's a new year (YES IT IS), and a New Era has arrived to get us started off right! And once Vince leaves to make his XFL dreams a reality, we'll really be in for some new stuff. Until then, SmackDown, 205 Live, NXT UK, and NXT US will keep us warm until the Rumble. Among our highlights are:...
-
PG 107: The Desperation Zig-Zag
First things first, we have to talk about NXT: EC3 vs. Fish, Ricochet vs. Breeze (yes, THAT Breeze), and Black/Gargano in a steel cage next week? THAT is the WWE we care about. But TLC is tomorrow, so we have thoughts about that too, like: why the Corbin TLC match will go on last, how terrible…
more -
PG 106: A Slow Tempo Joe Low Blow
Another week, another garbage Raw you should've probably skipped! It would have avoided questions like, how did they forget Dolph in the Dolph/Drew break-up angle? Who decided Dean should just be Bane now? And how the F*** decided the Lucha House Party rules? Once our blood stopped boiling, it…
more -
PG 105: Closet Mariners
The second War Games: TakeOver Edition was amazing, and Survivor Series was pretty good, too, so why has Raw sucked so much since then? The guys file their report. Also, will Shane reconcile with co-dad, the Miz? Will the SmackDown tag team division take an off week? If so, can Raw get ON? How...
-
PG 104: Google It, Bitches
After one of the most tumultuous, newsworthy weeks in WWE history, we're set for a very different Survivor Series than we had a week ago. Among our questions: will the only title up for grabs change hands, will the tag match by 11-on-12, will Cross join the SDL women, will Shane cheat to make the...
-
PG 103: Tony Nese Can Count His Own Abs
Before you poke fun at a wrestler's size, make sure you're taller than he is. Having learned that lesson, the guys talk about a bad Raw, a good SmackDown, a great NXT, breaking things that don't belong to us, why a strict show time limit breaks kayfabe, Alexa Bliss' future as a non-wrestler, why...
-
PG 102: Jake The Snake Was a Better Role Model
What a week! Evolution knocked our socks off, including killer title matches and Jason's indifference towards the coming Storm. NXT, both UK and US brands, also killed it, with more resolution to the Black attack, Matt Riddle's first TV match, and the UK brand's best match thus far. The guys also...
-
PG 101: The Evolution Is a Mystery
With so much going on, it's surprising there weren't more outstanding matches in WWE this past week. NXT UK is off to a good start, though, and Roman and Dean offered a very interesting night on Raw, alongside turns for both Elias and Strowman. Meanwhile, SmackDown was very nearly a rerun, Crown...
-
PG 100: The Greatest Love I've Ever Known
Boy, what a week! RAW got off to a Rousing start, featuring two turns and a genuine surprise return, SmackDown had a killer women's rematch and Miz TV with three of the best on the roster, and NXT gave us Ricochet/Dunne/Cole, and you know that was hot. However, we also got things like week 12 of...
-
PG 99: That WAS A Good Meat Pie
Another week, another early morning show live from Australia. Wait, that's new! Jason has the Show-Down Breakdown, but first, find out why Ronda Rousey had the Match of the Night, why Roode and Gable are still Not on the Card, who had the Killer Gimmick this week, why the Legends nostalgia train...
-
PG 98: Fighting Down Under(taker)
We're back, and once again, there's way too much to talk about! There were plenty of good matches (Styles vs. Almas and Dunne vs. Ricochet of note), questionable moves (the main titles on SmackDown), upgrades (Rush partners with Lashley, Rusev Day continues to crumble), botches (Brie Bella...
-
PG 97: We're Going To Hell, Enjoy The Show!
What a card Hell in a Cell has in store for us this year! And with only two actual Cell matches, too! The Universal title is on the line! Becky Lynch is awesome again! Rusev Day are fighting for titles! There is reason for optimism on this night, let's hope they pay at least some of it off while…
more -
PG 96: WTF Was That?!?
Wow! What a week! Raw was ... well, Raw was bad. SmackDown was ... I mean, Carmella and Truth had some fun, and Rusev Day are closer to being champs, but it wasn't great, either. At least the Mae Young Classic debuted with some awesome match-ups! Oh, and All In is in the books, and we officially...
-
PG 95: Brie-n Damaged
Will a WWE without KO really be that different than it was before? We'll find out! We talk about the fallout, our hopes/dreams, plus: where Strowman's allegiances truly lie, Regal steps up his investigatory game, Dunne/Ricochet promise amazing fireworks, King Booker helps ring in the five-time...
-
PG 94: Strong Bait
SummerSlam weekend has come and gone and we have seen some amazing things in the last week! Roman is champ! Seth is champ! Braun wants to be champ so bad that the Shield had to return to stop him! Ricochet got kicked in the neck! Dream called out Vince on his butt! Gargano did something dumb! Joe...
-
PG 93: TOP GUYS TOP PRIZE
It's hot, it's August, so it must be time for SUMMERSLAM! And the fourth edition of TAKEOVER: BROOKLYN! Our predictions for the big weekend: We may finally Dispute the Era, EC3 and Dream are delightfully weird and wonderful, Shayna still has Kairi's number, Gargano will reluctantly take the…
more -
PG 92: Every Dude Needs His Groin
Two weeks out from The Greatest Slam Of The Summer and we're focusing on Raw and NXT! Who won? Who lost? Who sang? Who's insane? Who's still reading magazines? Who's still bullying Jeff Hardy? Who got their own announcer's desk? (Who? Who? WHO!) Who looks silly with a jacket and no pants? And who...
-
PG 91: Main Event Is The Joke
We're in week two of the 57 week build-up for SummerSlam, so we thought we'd take a moment and recognize the work of the lesser-recognized superstars of WWE, the brave men and women who fill the rosters of 205 Live, NXT, and Main Event. Among our topics this week: Evolution will be rad and we're...
-
PG 90: That's So Woken!
The rules, they were Extreme! And the week, it was ... ok? Little Jeff Hardy got treated like trash, Roman and Bob can't decide who is the bigger dog, Nak finally got his title, Sasha and Bayley love each other, Rusev is indeed the real deal, Becky's getting hers, Asuka is a dullard, the B-Team…
more -
PG 89: Octagon Generalship
This week, the Amazin' one put NXT and 205 Live at the top of the show because they wouldn't otherwise get mentioned in the Extreme Rules pre-breakdown. Who will amaze us? (Ziggler/Rollins and Team Hell No) Who will let us down? (Strowman/Owens, Asuka/Carmella, and Hardy/Nakamura) And who will be...
-
PG 88: Only White People Like SHeDAISY
WWE's UK tourney kicked off the week with hours of superb content, featuring lots of names Jason wasn't familiar with. Booked to Perfection this week includes the Deleters/B-Team beef, Bayley finally coming to her bottle-chucking senses, Todd the cheeseburger guy, and Team Hell No's comeback....
-
PG 87: All's Ellsworth That Carmellsworth
TakeOver! Money in the Bank! Raw! SmackDown! It's all here in this episode, including our thoughts on the whole package, like: Will Gargano and Ciampa fight again? Is Dream the real deal? Can Rollins get over himself and win back his title? Will Ronda ever really be a badass? Can we stop putting...
