Lords Of Pain Radio

A bumper edition of The Right Side of the Pond! After some hilariously poor predictions last week, the boys return to try and mop up some of the mess created by the Royal Rumble, and try to shine some light and positivity on the Road to Wrestlemania! First up, Joey Shinobi and 'Plan break out the Power 10 to look at what's on the path for 10 top guys (NB: much trolling takes place) before Maverick and Mazza take a closer look at the main event, and try and plot a course for Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar. 

Impact Wrestling is moving to Friday nights on Destination America, and your humble friends mizfan & Jeff will be following suit and setting up shop on Saturday starting next week! Join us at 9pm EST for our final Thursday episode as we recap the highly eventful recent episodes of Impact. We'll also let you know everything to look forward on the coming episode of Impact and talk about what we'd like to see, as well as going around the wrestling world for anything else that may have slipped under your radar. Don't miss it!

This week, The Doc looks back at the last few days - huge days - in WWE, starting with a 5-star Review of the 2015 Royal Rumble.  He'll analyze the matches and their respective winners and set the tone for the remaining Road to WrestleMania 31.  What matches can we expect?  Also, Doc will look at Monday Night Raw, offering his Win and Fail from the post-PPV edition of WWE's flagship program.  What can we expect of the new PPV, Fast Lane, after one show provided the initial hype?  

Your Tuesday Night Titans are back! And this week, had a bit of technical issues. Somehow the recording from Saturday of a show that was nearly 2 hours long is only 1 hour and 8 minutes. So, unfortunately I cannot include the ECW review we offered, along with the section where we offer our picks of the week from the WWE Network, but I was able to salvage enough of the main topic to put on an over 1 hour show. We decided to rank the young guns for 2015. We don't mean NXT only, or just rookies, but everyone who is vying to reach the main event who have not been given a full opportunity. It ends somewhat suddenly in the middle of the man we rank as the top 2015 prospect, but thankfully what was cut off from the discussion is moot with what took place at the Royal Rumble. So enjoy what was left of what felt like a great show. If Xan has his recording available, and can get it to me for the next open slot this week (if there is one) maybe we'll post the rest. Sorry about that guys, but thankfully we are able to

Join your party host, Steve, (@YourAyatollah), for LoP Radio's official LIVE and UNCENSORED Monday Night Raw post-show! Given that Raw was esentially cancelled this evening due to inclement weather in the Northeast United States, it would appear that this will be more of a Royal Rumble Reaction type of show.   After the Rumble we had last night, that's probably not a bad idea, and after the controversial Royal Rumble Recap Show on LOP Radio last night, there's probably plenty that you guys want to discuss. That won't be all that goes on, though, as this is the super awesome one year anniversary of The Late Shift and joining Steve will be his most frequent guest, fellow Brainbuster and Godfather of LOP Radio, Repo, (@bearforcewon)! There will be the obligatory looking back upon the year that was and looking forward to what the future holds.    Regardless of whether Raw does anything worthwhile with their timeslot, you can't keep The Late Shift off the air!  Please feel free to follow along and provide your

The Road to WrestleMania has begun and kicking it all off is the always exciting Royal Rumble!   This year's event promised to be an intriguing one, as months of rumors have built towards lots of questions in the month or two leading up to the show. With the supposed new "favorite son" title up for grabs, as well as the return of a certain bearded Yes Man, the winner of that ticket to the WrestleMania main event was very much in question.   With the event now in the books, join us here on LOP Radio to hear all about exactly what went down. Your host, the Godfather of LOP Radio, Repo, (@bearforcewon), will be joined by the host of The Late Shift, Steve, (@YourAyatollah), and break down all the matches and exactly what impact they had upon the quickly approaching Showcase of the Immortals. Always one of the best and most discussion sparking events of the year, you won't want to miss our recap of WWE's Royal Rumble!

Host of The Late Shift every Monday night on LOP Radio, Steve, sits down with some familiar names from around Lords of Pain to talk about being a wrestling fan. Be they some of your favorite LOP Radio hosts or some of the most prolific columnists in the history of the site, they are no different than you when it comes to having been hooked into pro wrestling.   How did their fandom get started? What hooked them hard enough to take them from casual to devoted fan? What inspired them to start contributing to Lords of Pain, and how has the internet not only shaped their fandom but influenced the way it has progressed? Aside from all that, who's their favorite wrestler? Their favorite match, PPV, era? What are their thoughts on the current direction of the business?   Sure to spark plenty of discussion, as well as give you a better understanding of just where the guys you listen to and read on a regular basis are coming from, this Fan to Fan talk is sure to be a great listen. Join us for this first edition wi

This week Mazza, Shinobi, Maverick and Plan look forward to Sunday's Royal Rumble PPV.  There are insane theories flying all over the place as they look at the outcome of one, or maybe two matches for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship featuring Brock Lesnar, John Cena and Seth Rollins.  A lot of time spent discussing the heavy favourites (aka Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan) as well as the outside bets for victory in the rumble match.  Before that though, they kick things off with their first experiences of the WWE Network since it finally launched on the right side of the pond. 

Impact Wrestling has moved to Friday nights on Destination America, but contrary to the rumors (started by us) your humble friends mizfan & Jeff are not following them just yet! That's right, we will be staying on Thursday nights until the end of January to both review and preview what Impact Wrestling has in store! Join us at 9pm EST for our penultimate Thursday episode for all this plus a BIG preview of this Sunday's CHIKARA event, "A New Start", and much more that may have slipped under your radar. Don't miss it!

This week, The Doc previews the 2015 WWE Royal Rumble.  Will Roman Reigns fulfill his rumored destiny and win the Royal Rumble match?  Or will Daniel Bryan complete his comeback story with a monumental victory that many thought he should have been afforded a year ago?  Who else is a favorite in the 30-man Battle Royal?  Bray Wyatt?  Dean Ambrose?  Someone who was "fired"?  Doc will also break the down the various scenarios for the WWE Championship match result and list his weekly WrestleMania rankings.

Join your party host, Steve, (@YourAyatollah), for LoP Radio's official LIVE and UNCENSORED Monday Night Raw post-show! 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. Fresh off of attending Monday Night Raw live and in person, Steve will be coming your way on a special night so that we can talk about all the goings on of the show with the added seasoning of a live perspective. It's shaping up to be a big one, as a whole bevy of WWE Legends are set to appear less than one short week before the Royal Rumble. How will The Authority interact with these Legends? Who, exactly, will be showing up and could there be some surprises in store? What of the still fired Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan? Will they, by hook or by crook, get their jobs back in time to participate in the Rumble match?  All of these questions and likely plenty more will hopefully be answered this evening, and The Late Sh

Your Tuesday Night Titans are back (a night early). And this week, we decide to discuss this year's Royal Rumble. We run up and down the card, talking about the Rumble match, the WWE World title match, and the Tag Team Title match. Predictions, analysis, and general discussion, we just try to hype up the Rumble. Of course we also continue our ECW Super Show reviews, this time covering Natural Born Killaz 1996. Oliver Stone has nothing to do with this production, as it's headlined by a tag team title match in an ECW cage, with 4 masked assailants holding weapons to hand over to whoever asks for it. Hence the Natural Born Killaz name, apparently... And, it'll be uploaded for you to enjoy tonight! In place of the Late Shift, we are taking the timeslot for a one week period. Steve is at Raw tonight, so he can't produce a recap show. And instead of us failing at duplicating his brilliance, we decided to just air our show after Raw, and let Steve discuss live experience tomorrow. Join PEN15 and Xanman every Tue

On this week's show Mazza, Shinobi and Maverick look back to Royal Rumbles past and pick their ten favourite moments in the history of the event.  They will be looking at serious ones, comedy ones as well as some related to non-rumble matches during the January special.  They will then look at the current state of the three men who were in the Shield.  Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins are a huge talking point in wrestling circles and after a busy Raw for all three, it is time to break down where they are all at and where they should be going. 

Impact Wrestling is moving to Friday nights on Destination America, and your humble friends mizfan & Jeff will be following suit and setting up shop on Saturday starting next week! Join us at 9pm EST for our final Thursday episode as we recap the highly eventful first few weeks of the new year. We'll also let you know everything to look forward on the coming episode of Impact and talk about what we'd like to see from the company this year, as well as giving you a sneak peak at upcoming CHIKARA events and much more that may have slipped under your radar. Don't miss it!

As we get closer to the 2015 Royal Rumble, The Doc takes a closer look at the sheer number of possibilities for the WrestleMania card for Seth Rollins, John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and more!  Here's a hint: there's a lot of possibilities.  The Doc will also update his WrestleMania Rankings, kicking out #5 in favor of a first-timer on the list and rearranging the order along the way.  This week will also introduce a new segment called "Around the Wrestling World in 180 seconds," quickly discussing pertinent topics from the last 10 days.  Brought to you by The WrestleMania Era: The Book of Sports Entertainment (2nd Edition)

Your Tuesday Night Titans are back! And this week, we decide to discuss what makes the Royal Rumble so great. From favorite memories, to discussing the card structure from top to bottom, we dissect the details that make this gimmick PPV superior to almost every other (at least in our opinions). Of course we also continue our ECW Super Show reviews, this time covering The Doctor Is In 1996. Our opinions were mixed about this match, but it was have a lot of insanity, which is what brought ECW to the mainstream, so I guess it was great on some level. But does it hold up to today's standards? Join PEN15 and Xanman every Tuesday as we cover the best and worst of professional wrestling.

Join your party host, Steve, (@YourAyatollah), for LoP Radio's official LIVE and UNCENSORED Monday Night Raw recap show! 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.   Raw tonight had the potential to be something special just two weeks away from the Royal Rumble. On top of the fact that they were back in New Orleans for the first time since Mania 30, we had the hype about the first inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015 being announced. There was of course also the fallout from last week's firings of Rowan, Ryback and Ziggler. How would that whole thing progress? What would happen during the contract signing for the Rumble main event between Cena, Lesnar and Seth Rollins? Would the former Shield pals Abrose and Reigns team once again, as they did on Smackdown, to face off against mutual enemies? What would Daniel Bryan be doing this evening?   All of these questions

This week sees the return of Room 101 as Maverick tries to get 3 of his pet peeves banished from the world of wrestling as Shinobi plays gatekeeper.  Mazza then joins them to discuss the new WWE Network release date for the UK before they all join forces to look at Raw and talk about the awesomeness that is the Authority and how they are most definitely best for business.  All of this and plenty more comes your way as the UK takes over LOP Radio from The Right Side of the Pond!

This week, The Doc heads down the Road to WrestleMania, looking at one of the hottest topics of the New Year, thus far: Daniel Bryan or Roman Reigns as WWE's choice to win the 2015 Royal Rumble Match. He'll breakdown the arguments to be made for both sides.  Also, The Doc will discuss comments made by Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose during their spots on Chris Jericho's podcast and offer his weekly WrestleMania rankings for the top 5 young stars on the brink of headlining "The Show of Shows."
