The Doc is back on a Sunday for a change and, today, continues his new monthly special.  For 11 years on LOP, Chad Matthews has been the site's resident match rating guru, originally under the name Chad Matthews, V1 from 2004-2007.  In a decade, "The Doc" as you've known him for several years, has finely tuned what he feels are the special qualities that a great match should possess.  Today, Doc will pull a match from WrestleMania's rich history, queue it up on WWE Network, and provide his running thoughts on the hype, the commentary, the performers, the finish, and the aftermath.  The Doc has chosen a match this month that he believes is one of the greatest of all-time, but that rarely seems to get the critical praise that he feels it deserves.  He will tell you why it should.  What match is it?  Tune in and find out!

This week, The Doc is feeling a bit jaded.  Uncharacteristic of his usually insane optimism during WrestleMania season, he is just not that excited at the moment about the forthcoming "Granddaddy of 'em All."  Something is missing - from the build and from the card, at present time.  What is going on?  The Doc will break down for you his thoughts and attempt to diagnosis the problem.  Did this week's Raw help provide a cure? Brought to you by Pro Wrestling Shirts dotcom!

No topic is off limits as Steve provides his views on the events of Raw shortly after the show goes off the air, in addition to discussing some of the hottest topics of the day.   The WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, was advertised to be in the building for tonight. Would he actually show and, if so, what would he have to say regarding his WrestleMania main event match against Roman Reigns? Speaking of whom, what would the newly reunited Authority have in store for Roman after last week's chicanery? On top of that, how would the various multiman matches, the IC Title ladder match and Andre Memorial Battle Royal, continue to take shape mere weeks from the big event? Furthermore, did the Divas get a chance? Would John Cena have any further inspiration for Rusev to potentially accept his US Title challenge? Was there another 2015 Hall of Fame announcement? Perhaps most intriguing, what, exactly, d

Mazza, Maverick and Randall are back with another episode of TRSOTP.  On this week's show they have a brief chat about a pretty lacksustre Raw considering it is Mania season.  They then go on to share their favourite things about the Showcase of the Immortals.  They look at things like favourite Mania Moments, Short Matches, Segments, and more. 

Join your host, Super Chrisss, as he recaps and reviews the latest episode of Thursday Night SmackDown while sharing his win & fail for the night. Will Brock Lesnar or his advocate, Paul Heyman, make an appearance? What about his WrestleMania 31 opponent, Roman Reigns? Does Bray Wyatt have more ominious words for The Undertaker? Will John Cena respond to Rusev? Can Bad News Barrett finally reclaim the Intercontiental Championship stolen by Dolph Ziggler? And will WWE continue to #GiveDivasAChance?

This week, The Doc dives head first into the topic that continues to gnaw at the WWE fanbase: Daniel Bryan's lack of a main-event push for WrestleMania 31.  Whether you love, like, or hate Bryan, your position on his Mania spot is going to be covered in detail today, as The Doc will address those people that plan to skip WrestleMania because Bryan isn't wrestling for the title, the people that feel like Bryan's situation is being overblown, and everywhere in between.  How does Doc really feel?  He'll also address Dave Meltzer's recent column on the subject; is this really a unique situation?  Is there a precedent set for what we're seeing?  All that and more... Brought to you by the 2nd edition of The WrestleMania Era: The Book of Sports Entertainment (available now!)

This week it's an abbreviated version, as XanMan is flying solo. At the same time he is being legendary, he covers what's been going on on nXt, discusses his thoughts on what Daniel Bryan may be doing at Wrestlemania, a little mention of Seth Rollins, and a review of an older show, but this time not an ECW exclusive--it's Terry Funk's Wrestlefest from September of 1997.  The one featured in the movie Beyond the Mat.  As usual, he also has a WWE Network pick of the week, as well as another pick from the world of pop culture.

How many more people will enter into the 2nd Annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal? For that matter, will we get any further indication of who will be involved in the ladder match for Bad News Barrett's Intercontinental Title? Will Barrett even regain posession of said title before the match gets here? How will John Cena force the issue in his quest to goad Rusev into another US Title match at Mania, and what potential stipulations could come into play? WIth rumors of AJ Lee in the building, what role would the returning Diva of the Year be playing as w

No topic is off limits as Steve provides his views on the events of Raw shortly after the show goes off the air, in addition to discussing some of the hottest topics of the day.   With the return of Randy Orton at Fastlane, what would the Viper have in store for Seth Rollins and the Authority? Now that Roman Reigns has officially sealed his spot in the WrestleMania main event against Brock Lesnar, what would the Beast and his advocate, Paul Heyman, have to say about his upcoming challenge? And what would Daniel Bryan have to say about his loss? For that matter, what would he and everyone else be doing on the impending biggest show of the year? Would we get any further clarification on what the Mania card is going to look like?   All of these questions and likely plenty more will hopefully be answered this evening, and The Late Shift will be here to help you digest it all.

Join the Godfather of LOP Radio, Repo, (@bearforcewon) and his partner in crime, Steve, (@YourAyatollah) as they break down all the events from the first annual WWE Fast Lane event mere moments after it goes off the air. As the one major pit stop along the road to WrestleMania, this one is sure to have plenty of impact on what will go down at the Showcase of the Immortals.   Was Dean Ambrose able to gain the Intercontinental Championship, or was there Bad News in store for the unstable one? Was Rusev able to live up to his claims of being the man to end John Cena's legacy, successfully holding on to his US Title in the process? In one of the more divisive matches in recent memory, was Roman Reigns able to overcome both his naysayers and Daniel Bryan to hold on to his WrestleMania main event spot?   All of these questions and more will be answered and we'll be here to break it all down. Feel free to join in the conversation via Twitter by directly Tweeting your hosts at the @'s provided or by using the has
