Lords Of Pain Radio

One Nation Radio is back with a special episode looking at the year in PPV. This is the second half of part 1 where we chronicled Royal Rumble - Extreme Rules which was a shoot section. The tone is a bit more positive, but not without getting on WWE's mistakes on PPV in the second half. Summerslam through TLC is covered, along with revealing our Lebron James "U BUM" of the year! Voting is also open for the One Nation Radio Awards.  Vote Here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScBgv2QNQpUsnK5VDjms_B-u1Qnrn64zWd7oDohAMgVaxnWgQ/viewform Part 1 : Royal Rumble - Extreme Rules  https://socialsuplexwrestling.podbean.com/e/one-nation-radio-wwe-2018-ppv-year-in-review-part-1-royal-rumble-extreme-rules-12918/  

What were the biggest moments of the pro wrestling year?  Who entertained us the most?  Who pissed us off?  Who overachieved?  Who underachieved?  Who was the wrestler of the year?  What was the match of the year?  Which organization did the best job overall?  What's the worst we saw?  What was the best we saw?  All of these questions and more will be answered as Shane and Jeff break down the year in pro wrestling.  This should feature the Elite, Okada, Tanahashi, Jericho, Aries, and more.

This week the boys are in reflective mood as they look back on WWE in 2018. They hit all the major talking points from a controversial year, including the growing strength of women's wrestling, the malaise affecting weekly main roster TV, the use of subsidiary products in NXT, 205, Mae Young and NXT UK, the status of the WWE Universal Championship, and much, much more. This one's a classic, folks!

LordsofPain.net 'Imp's Adventures' columnist & Perfect 10 Wrestling host Matt Maher (aka The Implications) presents The Story of Hiroshi Tanahashi! A mighty retrospective ahead of Tanahashi's main event clash with Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom. Why do the Japanese fans love this man? Why does he mean so much to them? All the way from his days as a Young Lion to his ultimate rivalry with Okada, Imp goes over Tanahashi's whole career. The man who saved New Japan from the brink and helped bring them into this current golden age. Click here! Follow Imp on Twitter: @TheDamnImplicat

It's the middle of  December, which means it's time for Ring of Honor's biggest show of the year, only three weeks away from New Japan's biggest show of the year.  If you thought the schedule was in high gear before, you ain't seen nothin' yet!  This was a blockbuster of a show, as Jay Lethal defended the ROH World Title against Cody Rhodes, Jeff Cobb put his TV Title on the line against Hangman Page, Marty Scurrl put his ROH World Title shot on the line against Christopher Daniels, Matt Taven defended his "Real ROH World Championship" against Dalton Castle, there was a 4-way WOH Title match, an I Quit match, a Ladder War, and in his first ever ROH appearance, Zack Sabre, Jr. took on Jonathan Gresham.

It's gimmicks galore as WWE's Tables, Ladders and Chairs event once again comes our way as the final PPV of the year. This year's event is very grudge match heavy as we see Baron Corbin take on Braun Strowman to determine the fate of Raw... or was Braun even able to make the show? Nia Jax gets her shot at Ronda Rousey and the Raw Women's Championship, while Daniel Bryan defends his WWE Championship gold against the former Champ, AJ Styles.  On top of the card are two big ones, as Seth Rollins finally gets his hands on Dean Ambrose with the IC gold on the line. On the Smackdown side of things, Asuka and Charlotte clash with SD Women's Champion Becky Lynch in a TLC match for the gold. It's a loaded card, to be sure. Join your Aftershock hosts, Steven Bell and Samuel 'Plan, as they break down the final WWE PPV of the year, TLC

This week, 'Plan and Mav run the rule over the TLC build and predict the happenings at the annual TLC preview. Of couse they are most excited about Ambrose and Rollins, but they do find time for the other matches on the card as well! As always, with a touch of mirth.
