It's that time of year again. WWE's annual spectacle, the Royal Rumble, is right around the corner. Ryan and I take a look at the rosters and determine who has the best odds of winning this year's matches and ending the night pointing at the Wrestlemania sign.

Despite the fans wanting to see it, Cody Rhodes was denied his chance to be WWE Champion at Wrestlemania 39. Now it is looking like he will be denied again this year with The Rock calling out Roman Reigns for a potential showdown for Wrestlemania 40. But we believe Cody should be allowed to finish his story this year, and one of us has taken a shot at showing WWE how it could be done. Let's see who you think pulls the story off better.

We all know that each year comes with its own ups and downs. But this year seemed to have a lot more downs than ups. We take a closer look at the things that really annoyed us about the wrestling business in 2021

As you guys know, for each of our predictions contests, we have made little wagers with the loser having to perform a punishment. We have gotten a little behind on that but that is a deficit we will be fixing today. 

Ever had this debate with your friends. Well, we are opening the discussion up once again today. What is the ultimate match type/stipulation? Do you agree with our assessment? What are your views? Let's find out.

Ryan, Brenton, and I were present on the Chris Jericho Rock N' Wrestling Rager At Sea: Triple Whammy and we wanna share our overall experience with you guys. What did we enjoy about our trip? What did we find not so fun? Listen to find out.

Ryan, Brenton, and I take a look at the upcoming card for AEW's Full Gear Pay-Per-View and determine who we think will come out on top on the night.

Yes, we know this episode is Hella Late, but we have everyday lives and day jobs in addition to this show, so life had to take precedent. But sit back and relax as Ryan Payne, Brenton McPherson, and I review all the awesomeness that took place during AEW's ALL OUT PPV. It got nuts and so did we.

It's time once again for AEW's biggest show of the year. And this year it features perhaps the biggest matches in the company's short history. Who will reign victorious? Which of the men on this show will have to face punishment for betting on the wrong wrestlers? All will be revealed this Sunday in Chicago.

The title pretty much says it all. After 7 plus years of asking "Will it happen?" "Will he come back?" we finally have our answer. CM Punk has returned to pro-wrestling and he has made his mark in AEW. Ryan and I break down all of what Punk had to say and we are not short on opinions that is for sure.

Why do we keep wasting our time on a show like Monday Night Raw, which has seen the biggest creative slump since the Guest GM days? For you the fans. And seeing that NXT continues to thrive gives us hope.

Ryan takes over hosting duties on this show and introduces you guys to the newest member of our podcast team. The two of them break down all the happenings from this week's Impact and Smackdown shows.

We're back after a long hiatus with an all-new format. We realized we needed to recharge our batteries after Wrestlemania. And now we have a new way of doing things which will hopefully help us put out content more consistently. Starting with our look at what went down on Raw and NXT this week. Let's get into it.

Ryan and I breakdown what we expect to see during the Fastlane Pay-Per-View and we take questions from the live listeners as well. Plus the punishment for the loser of the predictions is explained and it is a doozy. 

There were a lot of massive things that went down on this week's NXT and Dynamite shows. We got a clearer picture of the matches we will see at Takeover: Stand and Deliver. And Thunder Rosa went to a bloody war with Britt Baker. Plus so much more, and we discuss it all.

A lot of odd events to talk about on this week's Raw, most of which pretty dreadful. There were a few diamonds in amongst the refuse though as well as a lot of good storytelling in regards to Impact Wrestling ahead of Rebellion.

What was the deal with all the short matches on this past week's Smackdown? Why were we not allowed to see more of what people could do? Makes no sense to me or Ryan, but we try to make heads or tails of it anyway.

Sad to say, we found NXT a little disappointing this week. Dynamite had a great build to a pay-per-view while NXT was just sorta meh. Why did we feel that way? Let's dive deep in and find out.

So this is the first episode under the new format. This way we should have a lot more time to devote to each show rather than just going through the Cliffs Notes of the shows all in one week. So join us as we experiment with trying something new. If we don't feel it's working, we may go in another direction again. Live entertainment is trial and error after all. 

Well this show popped up right out of nowhere, didn't it? Or maybe we just weren't paying attention. Either way, if a Network Special is airing then we're predicting the outcomes. What is gonna go down on Vengeance Day?

Ryan and I go over everything that happened over the last week including what went down at the Royal Rumble PPV event. What was the fallout? Who emerged victorious? Who is going to Wrestlemania? And what has been going down on Impact and Dynamite? All of that and more in this episode of the Weekly Ramble.

It's been quite a week. And in this week, the underdogs continue to nip at Vince McMahon's heels. Ryan and I dissect everything that went down this week in the world of wrestling as per usual.

Ryan Payne and I take an in-depth look at the happenings from this past week and decide for ourselves if and in what way it will affect the events of the upcoming Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View. 

It's that time of year again! We're getting ready to hop on the road to Wrestlemania and it all starts with the Royal Rumble. Who do we think will ultimately punch their ticket to the Grandest Stage of them All? Which of us will have to buy a meal for the other? It all goes down this Sunday and we make our bold choices on today's episode.

On this inaugural episode of The Weekly Ramble, Ryan Payne and I take a deep dive into all the wrestling shows that went down this past week, along with any relevant wrestling news that came out during that time as well. And trust me, for a first episode, there is a lot to get through. In the words of Samuel L. Jackson, "Hold on to your butts."

While we all know that this year has been a metaphorical as well as literal disaster, there have been some brights spots; particularly in the world of professional wrestling. What were these bright spots? That is what Ryan Payne and I are going to discuss today. Happy New Year! Let's pray it's a better one than what we are leaving behind.

This year as a whole has been pretty disappointing, but thankfully it is almost over. But as is customary on this show, we have to take a look back at the biggest blunders in the world of professional wrestling over the last year. Steel your resolve, and grab a stiff drink if you need it. This is gonna be a rough one.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season to all our listeners. Today, Ryan and I are breaking down all the happenings from TLC 2020. There were tables. There were ladders. There were chairs. There were title changes. Who all came out on top? Well, let's take a look.
