Lords Of Pain Radio

Your Tuesday Night Titans are back, and this week we discuss the next “special event” from NXT on the WWE Network. The main event of NXT champion Adrien Neville defending the title against Sami Zayn, and if Zayn does not win the title, he will leave NXT. On top of the that, there's a tag match between The Ascension and two of the hottest stars in the developmental roster who were international indy darlings only months ago, Hideo “KENTA” Itami, and Finn “Prince Devitt” Balor. I'm most looking forward to the debut of Kevin Owens, once known as Kevin Steen. A great night is expected Thursday, and you can listen to us on Tuesday give you a preview. Of course we also continue our ECW Super Show reviews, this time covering Hostile City Showdown1996, and it's another solid outing from the Philadelphia promotion. I am truly impressed with the tag division in 1996 ECW, and this show displays how great a strong tag team division can be as a backbone to a promotion. Join PEN15 and Xanman every Tuesday as we cover the

Join your party host, Steve, (@YourAyatollah), for LoP Radio's official LIVE and UNCENSORED Monday Night Raw post-show! Steve and this week's special guest, appearing for the first time, one of the hosts of LOP Radio's own, The Right Side of the Pond, Joey Shinobi, (@LOPShinobi), will provide their views on the events of Raw shortly after the show goes off the air.   We're looking at a good one this week, as it's time once again for The Slammy Awards! In addition to the usual fun of the awards being handed out, this week's show will also be the go home to Sunday's TLC PPV event. To that end, how will John Cena combat his opponent, Seth Rollins', strength in numbers as he looks to put his number one contender's spot on the line? Will Dean Ambrose be cleared to go after the assault he received from Bray Wyatt on Smackdown that resulted in him be taken out on a stretcher? Will Miz and Mizdow continue to push the Usos' buttons leading up to their big Tag Title defense? Also, Seth Green. Yeah. He'll be there and

On this week's show, Mazza (@MazzaLOP) and Maverick (@Neil_Pollock79) break down the WWE Network "Podcast" as Stone Cold Steve Austin interviewed Vince McMahon after this weeks Raw.  They will also have a brief discussion on the current state of the tag team division.  This week's show also sees the return of 'Plan's (@LoPPlan) 101 WWE Matches To See Before You Die, the podcast edition.  This time out he will be looking at Mick Foley's famous WWF Championship win against The Rock on the 4th January 1999 episode of Raw. 

As Impact Wrestling goes on hiatus, we are excited to say our first show back after the holiday break will feature none other than well known indie referee, commentator, and occasional suicide diver BRYCE REMSBURG. We will be talking all about the upcoming December 6 CHIKARA season finale iPPV "Tomorrow Never Dies", as well as exploring the complex world of CHIKARA in general and talking stories from the past, favorites from the present, and hints for the future. Don't miss it!

It's not all sunshine and rainbows on this week's episode, as The Doc dives into a topic that brings to light some of the darker sides of the pro wrestling world.  CM Punk finally spoke out about his WWE departure in January.  To our community, it was another pipe bomb.  What does it all mean?  The Doc will do his best to look at things from both sides - Punk's and WWE's - and offer perspective clinically, from a business standpoint, and from the point of view of a fan.

Your Tuesday Night Titans are back, and this week we discuss the best authority figures in the history of wrestling. We discuss everyone from Jack Tunney to the power couple of Stephanie and Triple H. It's a relatively short discussion, as we did touch base on CM Punk quickly. It was hard to avoid, even if I hadn't listened to the podcast yet by the time of this recording. Of course we also continue our ECW Super Show reviews, this time covering Massacre on Queens Blvd. 1996, and it was a nice change of pace from what we have reviewed recently. Both Xan and I had fun watching this one, and we discussed some of the finer points.   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 post-show! This week, as with every first Monday of the month, Steve will be flying solo and allowing YOU, the listeners, to serve as something of a cohost!   This week's Raw, another stop on the road to the TLC PPV, had many questions that needed to be answered. What, if any, impact would the return of the Anonymous Raw GM have? How would the blood feud between Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose progress as they move closer to their TLC showdown? How would Seth Rollins continue to fare with his Authority security blanket gone? Would there be even a remote mention of the CM Punk controversy over the last week?   All of those questions and more were answered and will be discussed by Steve LIVE on the air. You don't want to miss this one, as you never know just what, exactly, will be said. Feel free to follow along on Twitter via the @'s provided in this post, or by using the hashtag #LOPRadio to have your

Joey Shinobi and Mazza are back this week as they discuss Survivor Series and the fallout the next night on Raw by ranking the top ten superstars of the long pay-per-view weekend in the Power 10.  After an eventful night in St Louis there was no shortage of guys in contention but there won't be room for them all.  Would Sting make it after finally setting foot into a WWE ring?  Would Triple H and Stephanie feature despite things not going their way?  How about the new and "improved" Fandango?

Wow!  Sting has arrived in WWE after nearly 15 years since his last nationally relevant pro wrestling appearance!  The Doc talks about it in the midst of reviewing Survivor Series in 5-star fashion.  What impact will the Stinger have?  Did he even have the most memorable moment in a main-event full of talking points?  Also, Doc offers up the Raw Win/Fail of the Week from the post-PPV show.  Brought to you by the WrestleMania Era: The Book of Sports Entertainment (2nd Edition).

Your Tuesday Night Titans are back, and this week we discuss what we are most thankful for in the world of wrestling as an American (Xanman) convinces a Canadian (PEN15) to celebrate the red, white, and blue way. We list off a handful of reasons we are happy to be wrestling fans in November of 2014.   Of course we also continue our ECW Super Show reviews, this time covering Big Ass Extreme Bash1996, and I'll give you a hint: it sucked. But we talk about it anyways as we go show by show discovering some of the underground ECW moments that people who tuned in during the Attitude Era may have never seen.   Join PEN15 and Xanman every Tuesday as we cover the best and worst of professional wrestling.   Feel free to email us a comment. loppen15@hotmail.com xanmanx@hotmail.com https://www.facebook.com/pen15mightier http://twitter.com/LOPPEN15 http://twitter.com/xanmanlop

Join your party host, Steve, (@YourAyatollah), for LoP Radio's official LIVE and UNCENSORED Monday Night Raw post-show! Steve and his week's super special guest, LOP Radio mainstay and self proclaimed #SlanderGawd De, (@IIDeaIID), will provide their views on the events of Raw shortly after the show goes off the air. What sort of events? Well, there should be plenty. In the wake of Survivor Series we were left with more questions than answers. Where to Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt go as their feud moves in an ultraviolent direction? With The Authority now out of power, what will happen to the guys from the losing team and, for that matter, the Team Cena betraying Big Show? Futhermore, who will take the reigns of power over WWE? Will Sting show up? Most important, will Damien Mizdow have a couple of kids' size replica tag belts? Because he so should. In addition, we'll be announcing who won the FREE Late Shift t-shirt in our Survivor Series contest! You don't want to miss this one, as you never know just what,

With Survivor Series freshly in the books, join us here on LOP Radio as we break down all the happenings from the big event. Along for the ride will be your usual host, Repo, (@bearforcewon), and his partners in crime, De, (@IIDeaIID), and host of The Late Shift, Steve, (@YourAyatollah).   Was Team Cena able to overcome the strength of Team Authority, or is the McMahon/Helmsley Regime still firmly in power? What sort of misery did Bray Wyatt bring, or suffer, in his effort to "save" Dean Ambrose by any means necessary? Were the tag teams, somewhat on the back burner in the lead up to this show, able to pull out the usual excellent match and steal the show? Was AJ Lee able to maintain her grasp on the Divas Championship despite Nikki Bella's (reluctant) helper in the form of her indentured servant sister, Brie? What, if any, surprises did WWE spring on us?   All of these questions and plenty more will be answered as your hosts break down all the events from the show, LIVE right after it goes off the air. Y

This week Maverick, Shinobi and Mazza are back again to discuss WWE's Survivor Series on Sunday.  With a rather small undercard, they look at who they think Fandango's mystery opponent will be.  They give their thoughts on the stuttering Ambrose vs Wyatt feud and then take a good look at the main event on the night.  There are insane Maz theories all over the place as they work out ways WWE may back themselves out of the corner they seem to have backed themselves into. 

Impact Wrestling may be moving to Wednesday nights, but only to make more room for mizfan & Jeff! Join us at our new time of 9pm EST as we present to you our awesome revamped show! We will still bring you all the latest on TNA, but are adding in an extra dose of other great wrestling which may have slipped under your radar, from Dragon Gate to CHIKARA to New Japan and much, much more. Don't miss it!

This week, The Doc celebrates Survivor Series in the present by acknowledging how well they've played off its past in these last several weeks.  Excited for the upcoming event, Doc will take you through his 5-star (well, kind of) Preview of the card, walking you through his thoughts on each program - good, bad, or otherwise.  He'll also put 2014's event in historical context, discussing some of the best Survivor Series matches in WWE lore along the way. Announcing The WrestleMania Era: The Book of Sports Entertainment (2nd Edition), due out next March.

Your Tuesday Night Titans are back, and this week we tackle the the graduates from NXT to the main roster, and the success or lack thereof for each. Wyatt, Rusev, Rose, Rollins, Big E...etc. We have a good time looking at how each of worked on the main roster, and their potential going forward. Of course we also continue our ECW Super Show reviews, this time covering Just Another Night 1996, which was different from the rest of the shows in a variety of ways (camera style, location, delivery...etc.). Did the change work, or not?

Join your party host, Steve, (@YourAyatollah), for LoP Radio's official LIVE and UNCENSORED Monday Night Raw post-show! Steve and this week's guest, former LOP Radio contributor and current purveyour of the Raw Running Diary in the LOP Columns Forum, Uncle Leo, (@UncleLeoLOP), will provide their views on the events of Raw shortly after the show goes off the air.   This week should be a good one, as Survivor Series is but a week away. Was there any indication as to who would fill the final spot on Team Cena as they head into battle against Team Authority? Did Steph and Triple H take Luke Harper up on his surprising offer to round out their team? What was the fallout from Ryback's actions last week from Liverpool? Most importantly, did they bother to book anything more than the, like, three matches we know are taking place thus going into the show?   You don't want to miss this one, as you never know just who will stop by or what, exactly, will be said. Feel free to follow along on Twitter via the @'s provi

On this week's show Mazza and 'Plan give their thoughts on the WWE's latest trip to the UK as they share their experience at Raw in Liverpool.  Hear about what was cut and how John Cena squashed the "Where's Our Network" movement. Maverick also joins Maz for a Hi5Lo5My5Yo5 as they take a look back at five of their favourite traditional Survivor Series matches from over the years.  Listen to the matches that made our list and see if you remember them fondly.

This week, former LOP and PWMania columnist, Rey Ca$h, joins The Doc for a discussion about the on-going saga between Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose.  Has it started off too slow or has it been the perfect example of a slow burn?  Doc and Rey have strong, differing opinions on the matter.  However, they both are appreciative of what they feel is the best hype for a Survivor Series PPV main-event in a decade. Brought to you by the WrestleMania Era: The Book of Sports Entertainment, which makes a great Christmas gift!
