With Imp and Burn predisposed for the evening, The Doc and Steven Bell step in to chat about the impending Royal Rumble event! Building upon the special edition of The Doc Says from a couple weeks ago that featured Doc discussing the January classic with Burn and Imp, this special edition will zero in on some of the topics left untouched in that special, as well as Steve's excitement at recently discovering that he'll be attending the event live. The Doc Says and The Late Shift coming together under the Perfect 10 banner? This is one that you won't want to miss!

This week, The Doc is joined by Rich Latta of Social Suplex dotcom to discuss WWE Roadblock: End of the Line and its consequent aftermath.  What is on the horizon for Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and the Women's Championship after the latest title change on Sunday?  Was New Day's title loss ill-timed or was the creative albatross that was their title reign finally lifted from the Raw tag team division?  Can Neville spark the Cruiserweight scene on Raw or he going down with the ship?  And what's with the dead crowds for the last two WWE pay-per-views?  Plus, The Doc and Danger Rich answer the question circulating the internet: has Kevin Owens been a failure as Universal Champion?

This week, The Doc puts the Raw brand under the microscope, reviewing the last three months to see how it has progressed in the 4th quarter of the year, division by division.  Is it better or worse than it was two months, post-draft?  Is it better than Smackdown?  What it has done better and what continues to need improvement will be topics for discussion.  Also, Roadblock: End of the Line is Sunday and Doc continues his seemingly never-ending run of PPV previews and reviews with the 5-Star Preview looking at the five most intriguing matches on the card in order from 1-star to 5-stars.  Do the longest reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE history even make the cut?  And which match is most likely to steal the show?  All this and more!

In a special edition of "The Doc Says," the hosts from "The Perfect 10 Wrestling Show," LOP Radio's newest podcast, join The Doc to take an in-depth look at the 2017 Royal Rumble.  While there is still one more pay-per-view to go before the Road to the Rumble officially begins, WWE has already announced two participants and started the hype train; Doc, Burn, and theImplications will get on-board and give you a first look at what we might can expect from the upcoming January Classic.

Mystic and mizfan continue to dig themselves out of the first year of Hulk Hogan. At Great American Bash 1995, Hogan is absent from the matches, and we get a return match from WWF WrestleMania VIII in Randy Savage versus Ric Flair. This same match will be seen again in another PPV from 1995 where Hogan isn't wrestling (Starrcade). Despite the lack of Hogan, we still get much of his crew, including Dave Sullivan, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, the Nasty Boys, and the Renegade. It's the return of the Great American Bash.

On this week's show Mazza and Maverick have a look back at the big two matches from TLC in addition to discussing the state of WWE's women's division. They begin by looking at the IC and WWE title matches at SmackDown Live's latest special event.  They look at how well the Miz and Ziggler have been doing of late and how they see Ambrose and Styles heading into Mania season.  They then look at the seemingly never ending hot-potatoing between Sasha and Charlotte.  They give their thoughts on the feud as well as examining the whole division to see just where the divas revolution has taken us. 

This week, The Doc is joined by his old pal, Dave Fenichel, to discuss WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs and all of the important happenings that it brought to the table.  Dave has a theory about the dead Dallas crowd.  Doc has more to say about James Ellsworth.  Both long-time die-hard fans and analysts also want to talk about Alexa Bliss becoming Women's Champion, the Miz-Ziggler rivalry's place in history, and just how long AJ Styles might hold the WWE World Title.  Expect hot takes and great discussion today on "The Doc Says"

Gimmick matches galore! WWE's TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs is back again, this time as a SmackDown brand exclusive event!  Can Dean Ambrose get his hands back on the WWE World Championship and overcome reigning Champ, AJ Styles, in the TLC match main event? Will the decidedly odd looking James Elsworth play some part in the proceedings? How messed up is it that we're even talking about this sub-jobber guy being involved in SD in general, let alone the title match? Also, I presume other things will happen that will be awesome. Becky vs Alexa should be pretty good. Join your host, The Late Shift's Steven Bell (@StevenFnBell on Twitter) as he joins you in the immediate aftermath of the show to sift through the rubble and 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!    

It's Slamboree 1995 in the legacy, and it is the best hall of fame induction WCW has done so far. Not only are guys like Terry Funk and Dusty Rhodes inducted (among others), but there is also the "surprise" induction of Gordon Solie. Join us as deserving legends are inducted into the hall of fame. (And if you wonder why we are leading with the induction, it's because we've tired of talking Hulk Hogan, the Nasty Boys, Jimmy Hart, and Hacksaw Duggan.) WCW: TLS presses on through mid-1995.

On this week's show, Mazza and 'Plan take a first look at predicting some matches for WrestleMania 33.  They start at the most obvious place by breaking down Goldberg and Lesnar's roles in the rumble ahead of a likely match in Orlando.  They then take on Raw, discussing where they think the Universal title will end up with potential big name feuds going on.  They then breakdown the SmackDown side of things.  Find out where they think big names like Undertaker, Cena, Reigns, Rollins, Styles, Owens and Ambrose will fit in.
