ThROH The Years

On the new ThROH The Years, we review Motor City Madness 2007! A very B-Show B-Show with a couple pretty gosh darn good matches. Marufuji is wacky, Erick Stevens wins people over, Matt sings, and Trevor goes wild on analogies.

A big ThROH The Years arrives with a review of one of ROH's biggest shows and best matches. We're covering Manhattan Mayhem II, and most notably, Bryan Danielson vs. Takeshi Morishima. We talk about the reckless awesomeness of an all time performance from Danielson, but we leave no stone unturned on the rest of the show. SCARED LISTENERS MAKE NO LISTENERS

After a slightly extended break ThROH The Years returns to cover CAGED RAGE, a show with two big time cage matches. We talk about why a lot of matches underperformed for us but we still had a good time anyway. Trevor also reads the card to a Juggalo Championship Wrestling show. We tried our best!

ThROH The Years closes out Death Before Dishonor V Weekend covering a big fun show. Trevor is grumpy about booking, but we see some great matches and Bill Apter. We also find time to talk old VHS tapes and Somas! Hold me closer, tiny ladder.

On a new ThROH The Years podcast legend Joe Gagne returns to talk about Death Before Dishonor V, Part 1. We talk about a great double main event, some interesting undercard matches that go in unexpected directions, and reveal if any of us have used crutches. A show so good people were shooting outside the building! PROJECT 161 PROJECT 161 PROJECT 161

.To close out 2025, ThROH The Years reviews one of the weirdest ROH shows we've ever seen, Race to the Top Tournament Night Two. The promotion ventures into WWE style booking, Russo style logic, and Vince McMahon style humor. There are also lights. Oh the lights. Oh and Generico and Claudio have a really cool match.

On the new ThROH The Years we start a two-parter with Race To the Top Tournament Night One. We talk a lot about tournaments in general and why the first round of this one doesn't hit like we hoped it would. Our love in for Kevin Steen continues, we say farewell to Jimmy Rave and Trevor inadvertently says 6-7 twice.

Today on ThROH The Years we cover one of ROH's shortest shows, Live in Osaka. We explore the reasons this event is strangely flat and delight in some of the most boring tour diaries you've ever seen. We tried our best with this one.

THROH THE YEARS IS GOING TO JAPAN. Today's episode covers ROH's first ever show in The Land of the Rising Sun, Live in Tokyo. We talk about a match you should see that may have fallen under your radar before trying to figure out what a "Fight Without Honor" even is. Also, we tell you who is big in Osaka. You probably won't guess it.

One of ROH's best shows of 2007 gives ROH one of its best episodes. We cover Driven, ROH's second PPV, featuring a fun return, two great Bryan Danielson matches and a lot more. More importantly, we have an extended discussion about cereal and a classic Dave Meltzer unintentional sideswipe makes us laugh maybe the hardest in the history of the podcast. WOLFMOTHER. SCOTT D'AMORE.

This ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor talk brownies, physical media, and Gorilla Monsoon. Oh, and we also cover United We Stand, a solid B-Show with some very good matches and one that annoyed Matt. And Matt usually doesn't get annoyed! Also, can you hear Karma Chameleon during the show? Because sadly, I didn't.

On a special MONDAY NIGHT THROH THE YEARS we cover Domination, a show with a hole in it. We tell you all about the hole, but also continue a previous show's love fest, watch some top-notch tag teaming, and see Davey Richards detect dandruff. This episode is lean but not particularly mean!

It's time for ThROH The Years to review one of the better B-Shows they've seen in some time, A Fight At The Roxbury. We swoon over Kevin Steen, a new version of Danielson emerges, and we praise a building that has both pizza and air conditioning! A fun night with your boys. Or day, I don't know when you listen.

It's finally time for ThROH The Years to cover ROH's first PPV ever, Respect is Earned! In an extra long episode, we spend over an hour talking about the story behind ROH going to PPV, before covering not just the show itself, but the matches that only made the DVD. Hear who we thought had a stand out performance, see what live report review caught us off guard, and discover what segment made Trevor irrationally angry. All that and a ton more on this episode!

Today's ThROH The Years covers Reborn Again. Is it a fresh new chapter for ROH, or one of the most B-est B-shows that's ever B-een? We talk a ton about ROH's move to PPV and a contract system as well as Bryan Danielson's low key return, the Briscoes being awesome and so much more. All that and Matt and Trevor nearly come to blows debating the physical attractiveness of alt-comedy figure Connor O'Malley.

On a new ThROH The Years that goes well over ten minutes past it's alloted time, we cover Good Times, Great Memories. It's Colt Cabana's farewell show but in many ways it's a farewell to Christopher Daniels, Allison Danger, Homicide and Shingo as well. We spend extra time focusing on all of them, but still review a show with some very notable matches. I'm just realizing as I write this that we forgot at the end of the podcast to say if Good Times, Great Memories was a great event. It was. I am saying it here.

On the new ThROH The Years, we go in wild directions. Ghost Bone vs. Cow Bone! Original Pranksters! The Jim Ross Award Winner Jim Ross! It will all make sense when you hear it. Oh, we also cover The Battle of St. Paul, a show with a great crowd, the debut of some Chikara peeps, and so much more. All this and Matt expertly makes a point in 45 seconds that Trevor spent 5 minutes trying to make. I can make a mean comment like that because I'm Trevor. It's me, I'm writing this. Hello. Listen to the episode. It's fun!

On the latest ThROH The Years we talk about Fighting Spirit, the show, not the concept. The Briscoes/Steenerico feud continues, we find a great hidden gem match, and Morishima takes on Nigel for the first time. All this plus boner time machines and we re-book the Carnage Crew crapping in bags.

We're back to the B-Shows! On the new ThROH The Years we take on This Means War II! A lot of seeds get planted for the coming months, as Steen and Generico start their full-time runs, Colt Cabana and Doug Williams prepare to say farewell to us and Chris Hero and company continue to delight. This is an episode all about the bass, minus the b.

WrestleMania season is here and we're covering the Mania weekend ROH show Supercard of Honor 2. We explain how it's a legit sequel of sorts and talk about Jimmy Jacobs and BJ Whitmer ending their feud in an unreal cage match, the Dragon Gate boys attempting to top themselves, and go down memory lane with Jonny Fairplay. All that and we talk about modern MTV programming, it's another great ThROH The Years!

On the new ThROH The Years: We cover the big 2007 WrestleMania weekend show All Star Extravaganza III! We talk about a great match that we kind of forgot was great, the scariest injury we've seen doing the show, cough medicine, Christopher Daniels' pubes and a lot more. A good one!

On a bittersweet ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor say farewell to Samoa Joe when they review Fifth Year Festival: Finale. One of our favorite shows we've watched, with so many top level matches. We then sum up Joe's ROH career. All this and the boys discover we have two jaw bones. Did you know that? We didn't.

ThROH The Years bursts into 2025 to cover The Fifth Year Festival: Liverpool. A huge show with some great matches, some big time emotional crowd reactions in the final two matches, and the return of chanting at a kid about his bedtime. All this and Trevor gets puzzled by a new ROH mystery. Happy New Year!

On a Holiday Season ThROH The Years, the guys gift you with some special deja vu pizza talk before getting into The Fifth Year Festival: Chicago. It's a show with whistles, one of the bloodiest brawls in ROH history, one of the emotional moments in the first five years of the promotion. Matt and Trevor remember times they've bled and pies they've ate and a good time is had by all. There is no need for the Tear Police to be called in, you'll be all smiles this episode.

On the new ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor have plenty to be thankful for. We cover the Fifth Year Festival: Dayton show, featuring one of the most brutal kicks we've ever seen, a strange and warm embrace, a guitar being de-strung, a career night for a plucky underdog, and so much more. Sit down at the table, it's time to eat.

It's time for a ThROH The Years special event! We bring you a dragon-sized career retrospective of ROH alumni Bryan Danielson. Many past ThROH The Years guests return to share their thoughts and we run down Bryan's entire career, before ending with a return of the classic podcast, List 'Em and Learn, as Matt and Trevor give their own top ten lists of favorite Danielson matches ever. A Final Countdown if you will.

Whoa, a lot happens on this episode. We review the Fifth Year Festival: Philly, a show with a very significant main event, a match that changes the lives of Kevin Steen and El Generico, two horrific injuries and one heck of a hat and jacket combo. We fill the rest with old TV references and end by announcing a special new episode. This ain't Seinfeld, but you'll love it just as much.

The good times are here. On a new ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor review the start of the Fifth Year Festival with their New York show. We talk about the beginning of Samoa Joe's ROH farewell tour and all of the reasonings behind it. We talk about the ROH in-ring debut of Takeshi Morishima and where he stood in the business at this point. Austin Aries almost dies twice and Jimmy Rave and Homicide have a hidden gem career highlight that we demand you watch. All that and talk about seasonal PPVs and a PSA to seek help. This is one of the big fancy eps, if you miss it Matt will be saying NOOOOOO.

Vomit, Grandmothers, doing the splits. On one of the weirder ThROH The Years we cover all these topics and more, as we review a fairly bizarre show known as The Battle of the Icons. Strange booking choices, violent gimmick matches, and a main event for the ages. Take your Gravol and settle in.

ThROH The Years finally starts their coverage of 2007 with our season premier! We spend a lot of time going over the coverage of the untimely passing of ROH co-founder Doug Gentry, an unheralded part of wrestling history. We then review Dedicated, a show we had a surprisingly good time watching, with an insane clap, a big goose egg, and a revelation that Trevor has never watched Good Times.

It's finally time The 2006 Year-End Show! After fourty-two episodes and over two years, we have come to the end of the year, and we cover the fantastic final show on '06, Final Battle and then give you our annual year end wrap up show full of awards, reflections, and groaning at Dave Meltzer half compliments. One of our biggest shows ever, roughly five hours. If you eat the whole thing in one sitting we put your picture on the wall.

On the new ThROH The Years we are almost at the end of 2006, starting the last double shot of events with International Challenge. It's a show with one of the scariest injuries in ROH history, the debut of a great manager, and not one, but two dated Iron Sheik references. Christopher Daniels charms us, and we sum up the dry winter of 06. GET READY FOR FINAL BATTLE.

The new ThROH The Years is here to cover the Chicago Spectacular...Night Two! It's a show that was rebooked with positive results.

ThROH The Years takes on the first half of a Chicago double shot with night one of The Chicago Spectacular. The Samoa Joe/Bryan Danielson feud finally comes to a head in a cage match.

On a bright and sunny Tuesday Matt and Trevor came together to review Black Friday Fallout, a very B-ish ROH show. Matt plays impromptu ROH trivia! Chango loves tables! We figure out the alarm cock in real time! Who else is going to spend so much time talking about THIS show?!

On the new ThROH The Years, Albert Ching joins us to discuss The Bitter End, one of the worst shows we've reviewed. A night full of normally great promoers doing awful mic work, two long-lived storylines ending in the worst ways possible, a car that needs to be moved and a grandma that gets scared. Listen to Trevor lose his mind, Matt worry about warmth, and Albert reveal what movie he and Matt saw on that trip. This one goes some places.

On the new ThROH The Years, Joe Gagne returns to help us cover Honor Reclaims Boston, a show featuring a main event that got huge buzz at the time in some circles but hasn't been well remembered. More importantly, we talk about chalkboards, growing basil, Eyes Wide Shut and Trevor is pointlessly fake mean to Joe and yet loses in the end. Kubrick would be proud.

On this episode of ThROH The Years the dry winter of ROH starts to get to Matt and Trevor, with Irresistible Forces, a card that continues ROH's duldrums. We end up making our own fun though and deliver a breezy two hour listen that's gonna make it all worthwhile. What was that? Root Beer?

On the new ThROH The Years, we keep on working through our dry winter with SUFFOCATION, a very B B-Show. We talk about a great Homicide promo, a problematic Cornette and Corino one, Dicks, how Matt prepares to get a trophy, why Bryan Danielson is afraid of Ben Gay, and a fan tells Davey Richards to save a life before he ever became an EMT. No other podcast has the guts to cover this show. That's right, I said it.

The dry winter of ThROH The Years continues with Motor City Madness 2006, a B-Show that only gets truly memorable with an insane main event. But we have a lot of fun and laughs on this one. Topics include what makes a sandwich, WWF's WrestleMania All Day Long PPV, and Trevor sharing too much about his life yet again. We also talk about the greatness of Bryan Danielson and Mark Briscoe. It's a good fun time with your boys, get on the bus.

You'll get it if you listen.

On one of the biggest ThROH The Years of all time we cover one of ROH's biggest shows of 2006, Glory By Honor V, Night 2. David Bixenspan joins us to cover the event, as both he and Matt were there live. We break down the specialness of Danielson vs. KENTA but also explore a million side topics, including how perceptions of indie wrestling changed in our lifetimes. Also Matt forgot to give out the Matt F trophy and I forgot to remind him. We'll make it up to you.This show is a hefty meal.

On the new ThROH The Years it's KENTA IN A TENTA as Joe Gagne joins us to discuss Glory By Honor V Night 1, a bizarre show that was forced outside at the last minute.

KENTA in a tenta, ThROH The Years in your ears.

On the new ThROH The Years we cover a very dramatic moment in Bryan Danielson's history as we review Gut Check, a show with one of the craziest instances of a wrestler working through an injury. But there's so much more. Trevor is discombobulated. Matt educates us about Jennifer Warnes and even sings. Check your stomach biome and get downloading!

ThROH The Years returns after a break. You better have missed us! Matt was at All In and talks about the influence ROH has had on the AEW of today. We then cover Epic Encounter II, a show with a looong Bryan Danielson/Nigel McGuinness match that Bryan didn't like, but who do we feel about it? Also we have plenty of adorable quotes from Wade Keller, discover the joy of Matt Sydal's promos, and we deliver the debut of a new show tradition, The Matt F Trophy! We're back and on the attack folks.

On the new ThROH The Years, on the eve of AEW's UK debut, we cover Anarchy in the UK, the second night of ROH's first tour of England. It's a show Trevor thinks is cozy! We talk about it all, including prostates, two fingers, SUWA nearly squashing Bryan Danielson, and the distances between cities. A nice way to pre-game for all the Alls!

On a very special ThROH The Years, Alan Counihan joins us for an hour-long interview about ROH's first-ever trip to the UK, giving a ton of insight to the scene at the time. Then Matt and Trevor go solo and do a full review of Unified, ROH's first show outside of the US.

On the new ThROH The Years we welcome first-time guest Phil Schneider (DVDVR, Ringer, Way of the Blade) to review Fight of the Century, a show with an hour-long epic between Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson that we all might have liked more than Bryan Danielson did. Phil regales us with many a spicy tangent, Matt gets a Cameo from Bret Hart, and Trevor discovers he's the odd grump out on a match.
