The Random Wrestling Review and its sister shows bring you an explicit mess of in-depth wrestling analysis and puerile humour. The main show focuses on a single event from any point in history and breaks it down crudely and with no apologies. RWR Now focusses on events currently taking place in wrestling. The Game is a quiz series featuring regular guests on the panel battling out to show their su... more

  • Blast from the Past

    I was brought on wrestling from the 70’s and 80’s by my dad but then along came Sky and WWF!!!! I simply loved it but all my mates hated it so I suffered in silence. Thank the Lord for this pod! I was directed to its existence in Oct 2024 and began from the start, listening on my journey to and from work every single day. It’s basically a group of mates (and friends) chatting about all things wrestling!!! Tinky is a superb host and the relationships between him, Tom and Old Man are there for all... more

  • Great podcast

    Have had a lot of time up in the night over the last six months with a new baby, and this podcast has been a great companion to me. Love the format, love the tone, really enjoy listening to episodes about shows I’ve seen, and equally enjoy eps about shows I haven’t seen too. Thanks lads for being friendly voices in my ear all hours of the night.
