ThROH The Years Episode 126 - Black Friday Fallout
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?!

ThROH The Years Episode 125 - The Bitter End
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.

ThROH The Years Episode 124 - Honor Reclaims Boston
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.

ThROH The Years Episode 123 - Irresistible Forces
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?
-
ThROH The Years Episode 122 - Suffocation
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.

ThROH The Years Episode 121 - Motor City Madness 2006
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.
Customer Reviews
An excellent retrospective
Trevor and Matt’s insight and experiences really treat you to wrestling through their eyes. In general I like wrestling recap podcasts to take me through quieter parts of my day with a mental image of matches from the past playing in my minds eye. More often than not I’ve never seen them and don’t plan to look them up, maybe I’ll search out clips to see the most spectacular spots described. But wrestling is a rich world to delve into, and I’ve only been a fan since 2018 or so. Listening to long term fans, who I don’t always agree with but usually find level headed and thoughtful, gives context to my modern appreciation of the wrestling scene. So many of the fixtures of todays scene were honing their craft in roh in the years this podcast focuses on. I was living in the northeastern US at the time, blissfully unaware that history was in the making right down the road, because I wasn’t a fan yet. This podcast takes you right in to the action, gives it a bit of context, and is a great companion to coffee and a commute or winding down at night.
As great as a CW Anderson
Arm stunner.
Recently started rewatching ROH from the beginning and this podcast is a great compliment. Trevor and Matt are a blast and this show is much needed to cover one of the most influential promotions in wrestling.
Good, but with major flaws
There’s a lot to like about the podcast - it’s a good topic and the hosts go really in depth to give you a feel for everything that was going on with the show and at the time. Their 5 hour show on the Feinstein scandal was great work.
So while only three stars? Because the hosts (especially Matt) insist on taking every single possible opportunity to bash WWE. Look, you can objectively look back and say that all wrestling companies have done things they shouldn’t be proud of, but to hear these guys tell it, every bad thing in the industry from the past 40 years should be directly the fault of Vince McMahon, which is ridiculous
