Lords Of Pain Radio

The LordsofPain Column Forums' very own TheImplications (a.k.a. Matt Maher/Monday Night Awards!) and Burn1nMyLight (a.k.a. Burn/Mr Mystery) joke & moan over the last week of WWE! Join us every Thursday as we try not to moan about RAW, fail, then remember we actually like wrestling with SmackDown and NXT! Orton won the Rumble, but did he win our hearts? Bobby Roode has certainly won our hearts, but should he have won the NXT Championship? And how's the road to WrestleMania shaping up after week one? LOP Radio's official t-shirts for ALL your favourite shows! Click here! Follow Imp on Twitter: @TheDamnImplicat Burn explicitly says, "Don't follow me, read my columns on LordsofPain instead."

This week, The Doc is joined by Rich Latta from Social Suplex dotcom and One Nation Radio to break down the 2017 WWE Royal Rumble event, its immediate aftermath, and what happened on the card to shape the Road to WrestleMania in Orlando.  Did it live up to the hype, given the generally elevated level of excitement before the show?  They will talk about the Rumble winner and whether or not he was the right choice and they will begin looking ahead to April as well.

Are you ready for a revolution? Mizfan and Jeff are BACK! And we are ready once more to catch up on all things Impact, including a couple of great matches, the continuing saga of the Broken Hardys, and at long last a NEW world champion! Plus, we are covering the last few episodes of Lucha Underground prior to the current (agonizing!) mid season break! We talk Johnny and the Mack, crotch lollipops, and Death Matches which seem to end in actual death! Join us once again at 4pm EST for all the latest on what's gone down as well as previews of what's coming, it's everything you ever needed to know and more if you're looking for modern wrestling that may have slipped under your radar. Don't miss it!

Coming your way LIVE every Monday night shortly after Raw goes off the air, The Late Shift provides an immediate, opinionated recap and occasionally controversial grade of the show. Your host, Steven Bell, has 15 years experience as a Lords of Pain contributor as well as 30+ years of fandom and isn't shy about saying exactly what he thinks. Divided into three segments, The Late Shift kicks off with The HeatSeeker, a look at one of the hot topics in wrestling today, followed by a full recap of Raw and then an overview and grade of the show overall, all within a tight 90 minute package. Most of all, though, it features unrepentant fandom. This isn't a show for "experts" or so-called "insiders". Presented BY a fan, FOR fans, this isn't a show where you'll be told what to think. It is, however, a show where you'll be encouraged to think for yourself, even if it means disagreeing with any and everything that comes through Steven's microphone.

The Road to WrestleMania 33 begins! The always exciting, often controversial Royal Rumble is upon us and Lords of Pain Radio's Aftershock is here to recap the event LIVE shortly after the show ends and a winner is crowned!    Will Roman Reigns be able to take advantage of Jericho's transformation into a sexy pinata to take the Universal Championship from Kevin Owens? What impact will the powerhouse duo of Brock Lesnar and Goldberg have on the Rumble match? Will the animosity between them open the door for an unexpected competitor to rise to victory and  WrestleMania Championship opportunity? With your usual host, Steven Bell, attending the Rumble in person, this time around we invite you to join the hosts of the Perfect 10 Wrestling podcast, theImplications (@TheDamnImplicat on Twitter) and Burn as they sifts through the rubble to bring you a full recap of the event. There will be plenty of opinion and debate to go around as we break things down LIVE shortly after the PPV ends!

WCW: The Legacy Series takes over Aftershock for a GLORIOUS special edition! Join us for TakeOver: San Antonio, as mystic's favorite wrestler, Bobby Roode, challenges for the NXT Championship. You will hear the mystic either gloat or weep at a level that will be obnoxious.  Will this be the night that Bobby Roode begins to make nXt glorious? Will he take nXt to the next level? Or will his overconfidence lead Roode to take one on the chin (and take his first loss)? Will this be a one-off? Will they wrestle again in Orlando? Where does Kassius Ohno play in all this? Join us LIVE for Aftershock!

In Part 2 of their John Cena career retrospective, The Doc, Mazza, Samuel 'Plan, and Maverick name what they collectively feel to be the 15-time World Champion's ten greatest matches, how they connect to the era in WWE lore that Cena stimulated, and how his in-ring performance acumen evolved over time.  As the Four Horsemen of LOP Radio continue their analysis of Cena's dominant decade-plus long run at the top of WWE, find out if your Cena favorites made the cut.

Dear WCW of 1995, You have all the money you need to buy almost every star you want--won't you actually use them once they're there? Lex Luger jumped to WCW in September and, depending on your view, had Hogan beat on the second week of Nitro. After the match, he demanded Vader's shot at Hogan's title in exchange for participating in War Games. It was a move that changed the babyface landscape as, eventually, Sting and Savage would both admit their desire to be champion, too. But, by October, something happened to the identity of 1995 WCW. It became 80s WWF. In WWF, Hogan lost his belt in a controversial match with Andre. The belt was held up. The new champion was determined in a tournament where Andre/Hogan cost each other and Savage became champion. In WCW? Hogan lost his belt in a controversial match with [the son of Andre]. The belt was held up. The new champion was determined in [WW3] where Giant/Hogan cost each other and Savage became champion. COME ON. Be better, Eric. This is TLS. It's the infa

This week, The Doc answers a listener question regarding the potential of New Japan Pro Wrestling to emerge as competition for WWE sooner or later; he has a very strong opinion on this topic that might be considered a "hot take."  You be the judge.  The Doc has a little bit of a rant to offer regarding WWE Network's recent Bring It To The Table program as well; certainly could be considered another "hot take."  Also, 205 Live has been around for over a month and Doc has been very much enjoying what it offers, so he'll take the time to offer this thoughts in hopes that you too will be enticed to spread the 205 Love.  Finally, ahead of Royal Rumble week, Doc will offer you five matches for your pre-Rumble playlist that you might not typically include.

This week during a special collaboration between The Doc Says and The Right Side of the Pond, "The Doc" Chad Matthews, Samuel 'Plan, Maverick, and Mazza explore the career of John Cena from the humble beginnings of his superstardom and his controversial run of dominance throughout the latter half of the 2000s to the down-sides of his Hogan-esque push, the Reality Era beginning in defiance of his status, his historic rivalries with CM Punk and The Rock, and his more recent transition out of his role as the undisputed #1 guy.  Some feel that Cena has earned a place on WWE's Mt. Rushmore, while others are far more critical with compelling, atypical arguments in their favor.  It's Part 1 of the ultimate John Cena retrospective!

What is the difference between Hulk Hogan and Sting? Hulk Hogan doesn't like to be betrayed. Thus, by the end of Halloween Havoc 1995, Hulk Hogan will leave angry and Sting will leave deeply satisfied. It's Halloween Havoc. It's Monster Trucks and Giants falling off of rooftops. It's coming back from the dead. It's main eventing and debuting at the same time. It's Yeti and Jimmy Hart and Lex Luger.  Join us for a night that could only be brought to you by Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan. Join us for Halloween Havoc 1995.
