Wrestling: Ep 20 - TLC Tag League Final Battle
I am already trained. JD is joined by a different Colin (ubertieguy) for this cast as we first talk about some more wrestlers signing with ROH, and then move into thoughts over the next batch of NXT call-ups to Raw and SD (0-26).
Our wrestler spotlight covers the revolutionary Dynamite Kid. We go over who he was, what he meant to wrestling, and how good he was especially his rivalry with Tiger Mask (26-41).
In this episode, we get to cover some interesting events coming out of the indie scene in the UK (41-58).
David Starr defended his title over in RPW at Cockpit 35, while Progress wrestling was busy releasing two chapters in 80 and 81 with a heavy focus on their tag team division.
Into tier 2 promotions, ROH had their final ppv of the year with a lot of send offs of the Elite leaving. Final Battle sure seemed to live up to its name (58-1:21). Finally, NJPW's tag league came to an end and the road to Wrestlekingom happened. What went down at tag league, and Ospreay and Ibushi had a moment (1:21-1:37).
WWE also had their final ppv of 2018 in TLC. The women lived up to the main event while some others sank the crowd. Also, a cage match happened in NXT. Quite a lot to discuss here (1:37-2:09).
We finish off the cast as we usually do with an episode of WCW Thunder (eps 14, 1998) the go home show before Spring Stampede. How will this one be (2:09-end)?
Cast completes with wrestler rankings and community shoutouts.

I always get my man. ACH and Walter have supposedly signed with WWE. What does this mean (0-11)?

Wrestling: Ep 17 - Ultima Lucha Survival of the Struggle
Hey yo. It's survey time. Let's compare WWE in Saudi Arabia to NJPW in North Korea back in the early 90's (0-16).
One of the biggest names of the 90's was Scott Hall. Be it when he was Razor Ramon in ladder matches or part of the original nWo, the bad guy is worth going back to spotlight (16-36). Jay from the Smack It Down podcast joins JD to discuss in this fantastic episode.
The wide world of wrestling on the indies is ramping up to another big outing.

WWE has gone insane. NKT UK, NXT into War Games, and WWE booking looking back and into Survivor Series. Is there a method to the madness (2:47-3:22)?
It wouldn't be RLR without finishing out the cast by looking back. WCW Thunder Eps 11 - 19 Mar. 1998 (3:22-end). Podcast wrestler rankings to finish out.

Wrestling: Ep 06 - Money in Dominion
This is nuts! The WWE UK tournament has started and JD has a concerning prediction (0-15)! Our wrestler spotlight for this episode is over the original Western women's revolutionary in Gail Kim (15-38). From there, it's a whole lot of the Indie wrestling you have come here for from Progress Ch 69, Stardom Gold Stars, NOAH, to Lucha Underground season 4 starting (38-1:32).
Into our tier 2 promotions, NJPW just had their second largest ppv of the year called Dominion and holy nuts was it a good one (1:32-1:58)! Last for the modern wrestling is always WWE and since Money in the Bank happened along with yet another excellent NXT showing in TakeOver Chicago, there are some good matches to discuss (1:58-2:51) JD updates the 2018 wrestlecast wrestler rankings before going into the last segment.
Rad and JD finish out the cast as we review past episodes of WCW Thunder: episode 2 (2:51-end).

So much Indie wrestling so much to discuss (0-6)! Our wrestler spotlight for this episode is over the super iconic Ultimate Warrior.

Wrestling: Ep 04 - No Regrets Backlash
May has seen some good events come and go as well as what could possibly be the worst WWE ppv in quite some time (0-6). We continue with our starting segment which covers a retro-old school wrestler. We talk a bit about the wrestler and a couple matches. This one is another recently passed away wrestler in Nick 'Big Bully' Busick (6-19). From there we review the rising indie scene first with Defiant No Regrets ppv and then into the super indie promotion German Wrestling Federation. The GWF had an all women's ppv in Women's Revolution as well as Mystery Mayhem (20-52). wXw had their own big event in Superstars of Wrestling ppv and man it was something including a possible match of the year candidate (52-1:46). NJPW put on a good showing with some marquee matches and surprises from Hi no Kuni to Dontaku Day 1-2. RoH was a little more quiet this time around (1:46-2:26). We wrap up the cast as covering WWE. Join us as we share our thoughts on the latest from 205 live, NXT, and then sulk in sadness over the ppv Backlash 2018 (2:26-3:19). The cast rounds out with the podcast top wrestler table from each Tier and updates the top of table in full (3:19-end).

Wrestling: Ep 03 - Greatest Royal Redemption
April was nuts as the band is back with Travis aka HibikiTMD to discuss the wide world of wrestling from Mania weekend to the Greatest Royal Rumble. We begin with a new segment which covers a retro-old school wrestler. We talk a bit about the wrestler and a couple matches. First up is recently passed away legend in Bruno Sammartino (0-23). From there we cover the rising indie scene in order of Evolve 102-103, Progress Ch 66-67, wXw True Colors, and Impact Redemption (23-1:12). RoH and NJPW has had a quite few weeks but RoH Masters of Craft and Road to Dontaku did have some highlights worth discussing (1:12-1:35). We wrap up the cast as usual covering WWE. The guys here at RLR disucss some NXT possibilities such as what to do with Gargano and Ciampa, and the positive notes over 205 live recently. Raw and SD had a bunch of debuts, returns, and the Superstar Shakeup. However, is this really a good thing? Finally, we finish with some opinions over the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia (1:35-end).
