From the controversial finish to the Royal Rumble match on Sunday night to the #CancelWWENetwork Twitter trend that caught fire, it's been a whirlwind of a weekend in WWE... both figuratively and literally! Snowed in by the storm, Graham "GSM" Matthews welcomes a guest analyst back to WrestleRant Radio to talk all about the Royal Rumble pay-per-view and its repercussions! Is Roman Reigns ready for the main event of WrestleMania 31? And why was Daniel Bryan eliminated so early from the bout? The two sound off on all of that, plus the immense backlash it received from the fans!
Also, they get into The Rock's Rumble involvement and why it was seen as "damage control" from WWE. In spite of the fans apparently canceling their WWE Network subscriptions in anger, the service still managed to surpass the one million subscriber mark this week. They give their two cents on why the movement was stupid, what's on tap for WrestleMania 31 and much more in the first official show on the road to WrestleMania!

The second WrestleRant Radio of 2015 recaps a very newsworthy week in the world of wrestling, and what better way to kick things off than with the announcement that Macho Man Randy Savage is WWE Hall of Fame bound the night before WrestleMania 31? Graham "GSM" Matthews talks about why it wasn't a shocking move but still a great one, fondest memories of Macho Man and his best memories, the legacy he leaves behind, why it took so long for get inducted, Hulk Hogan being the one to induct him and who else could make the WWE Hall of Fame legitimate. Dig it!
GSM was also in attendance for the premiere of TNA Impact Wrestling on Destination America last Wednesday and he's got an on-site report of the entire event! Everything from the return of Awesome Kong (and the MASSIVE reaction it received), the two title changes, the heel turns in the main event, and the loooooong commercial break (and what caused it) are covered. To close out the show, GSM sounds off on Monday's episode of Raw, why Roman Reigns simply isn't ready for the main event of WrestleMania, the evolution of Seth Rollins, SmackDown moving to Thursdays this week, the announcer shake-up, and much more!

It's Christmas week here on WrestleRant Radio and Graham "GSM" Matthews is coming to town with a full review of Monday's holiday-themed episode of Raw! The show was hosted by none other than Ho-Ho-Hogan who made several marquee matches official for the night, only to be interrupted by the "naughty" Seth Rollins. He and John Cena worked a great match, but where was Brock Lesnar? GSM makes a case for why Lesnar vs. Cena IV should be happening on the first Raw on 2015 and not at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
Furthermore, Dolph Ziggler put his Intercontinental Championship on the line against Luke Harper in a rematch from TLC. WWE is pushing the narrative that 2015 will be Ziggler's year, but can wrestling fans buy into that this time around? Rusev and Ryback also clashed on Piper's Pit, and GSM gets into why it'll be one of the most anticipated matches in recent memory. The night's main event saw Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose settle their score in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight, and despite how entertaining the matchup was, GSM has an issue with the ending.

From NXT TakeOver: R Evolution to WWE TLC to Monday Night Raw, it's been a wild week in the world of wrestling. The best part? It's not over yet! The latest WrestleRant Radio is loaded with thoughts on the past week in wrestling including Thursday's live NXT special, and what a stellar show it was! It saw the WWE debut of Kevin Owens, and his actions at both the start and end of the special! Graham "GSM" Matthews gives his thoughts on Owens as well as the pending feud between Baron Corbin and Bull Dempsey, Finn Balor's new (or old?) look, an amazing outing from the ladies of NXT, and Sami Zayn's big win in what was the match of the year!
In the second half of the show, GSM sits down with his college roommate Connor the Casual (aka "ScrubLord") to dissect his brain on Sunday's TLC pay-per-view. How did a casual viewer perceive the show? Was it as bad as some people made it out to be? They give their two cents on Dolph Ziggler winning the Intercontinental Championship, Damien Mizdow's potential, the great Stairs match (yes, you read that right!) between Big Show and Erick Rowan, the return of Roman Reigns, Rusev's undefeated streak and when he should be beat, Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt stealing the show in the main event, and more!
