WrestleRant Radio

Five days before WWE's (not-so-)highly anticipated Hell in a Cell event, Graham “GSM” Matthews, RJ, and a guest analyst give their in-depth predictions for each match on the pay-per-view! Before they break down the full card, they give their ranting thoughts on Monday's edition of WWE Raw, including the shocking return of Mick Foley! Is The Hardcore Legend back for good, or was it solely a one-off appearance? Also on Raw, Randy Orton once again stole the show by laying out both his Hell in a Cell opponent John Cena as well as Paul Heyman! How long before we see Orton embark on a path of an anti-hero?

From there, the trio give their thoughts on the Hell in a Cell gimmick itself and if it still has a place in 2014. Spoiler: it doesn't! Damien Mizdow was also a hot topic of discussion on Monday night after his surprising victory over United States Champion Sheamus in six-man tag team action. John, GSM and RJ predict Mizdow's future, along with Paige and Alicia Fox joining the cast of Total Divas, what will main event Sunday's show, the demise of The Authority, how little the midcard championships mean these days, and much more!

Before WrestleRant Radio lives up to its name this week with so much to talk about in the world of wrestling, hosts Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ welcome indie sensation "The One Man Thrill Ride" Jimmy Preston to the program for an exclusive interview! They get into his background as a professional wrestler as well as his massive following on YouTube and all of social media. What was the motivation behind his viral "Preparing for an Alumni Baseball Game" video and his catchphrase "See ya, dink!"? Also, does he prefer to work as a heel or a babyface, and how is he looking to evolve his character and YouTube videos in the new year? Don't miss him in action on Saturday, October 15th at Northeast Wrestling in Waterbury, CT where he'll be going one-on-one with Cedric Alexander!

In the remainder of the show, GSM and RJ delve into a variety of topics, starting with the very popular question among wrestling fans this week: Are The Rock and Triple H on a collision course for WrestleMania 31 after their confrontation on SmackDown's 15th anniversary show? While on the topic of 'Mania, the two talk discuss the possibility of John Cena vs. Rusev happening, the chances of Kurt Angle coming back to the company, and Hulk Hogan wrestling at the event. Plus, stay tuned for their two cents on Daniel Bryan's injury status and when he's due back, Brock Lesnar being off WWE TV until January, Justin Roberts' release, TNA Bound for Glory, and much more!

Finally, FINALLY The Rock has come back to WWE! Celebrating its one year anniversary on EC Radio, WrestleRant Radio gets the full scoop on The Great One's surprise comeback to the company with thoughts from Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ Marceau and this week's special guest host Arden Franklin. Was Rock's confrontation with Rusev a one-off? And if so, when could we expect him back in the ring and who would he go up against? That wasn't the only highlight from Monday's Raw, as the Hell in a Cell main event was also made official: John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose with the winner facing Seth Rollins later in the night. What does this say about WWE's current roster depth (or lack thereof)?

Based off recent speculation, it appears as if The Wyatt Family is headed toward a split. Did they have more to accomplish as a group, and what will the future hold for them as singles competitors? Rumors have also stated WWE's Christian is cleared to compete, but officials feel he's too fragile. Should he have one more match/run before he officially retires? Plus, don't miss talk of Daniel Bryan's return, Roman Reign's (disappointing) interview from Raw, SmackDown celebrating 15 years, and much more!

**IMPORTANT**  This episode has been updated and the first 15 minutes of silent audio have been removed. We apologize for the technical difficulties.

It's no secret that the wrestling world is in a state of array at the moment, and where better to rant about it all than on WrestleRant Radio? Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ and special guest host Jamie Lee Mac break it all down, starting with their thoughts on the sad state of the WWE right now and why it isn't all that surprising. From there, the three brighten up the mood by discussing the upcoming WWE 2K15 release and the inclusion of NXT in MyCareer Mode. Will you be buying the game this October/November? Going into their review of Raw, they talk Dolph Ziggler's status as Intercontinental Champion and if it means he's on his way up the card.

Other Raw discussion includes whether the Chicago crowd has lost its luster and if CM Punk was to blame. When was the last time you looked forward to a show emanating from The Windy City? Hell in a Cell is only a few weeks away, but WWE seemingly has no idea what the main event for the pay-per-view will be. Could Brie Bella vs. Nikki Bella take place inside the cell? The trio give their ranting thoughts on that, the downfall of The Wyatt Family and Luke Harper's pending push, what's next for Randy Orton, how doesn't TNA care for their biggest show of the year Bound for Glory, and much more!

Coming off a controversial Night of Champions pay-per-view, WrestleRant Radio is back for an another electrifying hour of entertainment! Graham "GSM" Matthews and special guest Jacob Bloom kick it off with the most talked about topic in wrestling this week: Roman Reigns' abrupt injury! Will it help or hinder Reigns' momentum, and could it effect the WrestleMania 31 card? From there, they list potential opponents for current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar at the event, including two names you never thought would be brought up! Could a returning Kurt Angle put an end to the reign of terror of Lesnar, and what's the latest on his contract status with TNA?!

It's been a while since we last Batista on WWE TV, but it's been made clear by "The Animal" himself that he'll be back in the squared circle before long. Could Batista vs. Lesnar headline WrestleMania 31? The two then transition to their thoughts of Night of Champions and where it ranks among other events this year. The finish of the main event left a lot to be desired, but GSM and Jacob speculate as to whether it will lead to a Hell in a Cell match between the two next month. Other topics of discussion include NXT, the current state of commentary, the constant Intercontinental title switches, and much more!

Only five days before WWE presents Night of Champions on the WWE Network (for only $9.99), Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ host a pay-per-view pre-show edition of WrestleRant Radio! That's not all they're talking about, though. Other topics covered include thoughts on NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way, if The Ascension are main roster bound, expectations for a re-debuting Baron Corbin, how Enzo Amore vs. Sylvester LeFort was the low point of the show, the arrival of KENTA and how his name change to Hideo Itami isn't a big deal, Bull Dempsey's total squash of Mojo Rawley, Bayley's strong showing against Charlotte and why an NXT Women's Championship reign is in her future, the stellar main event match, if an Adrian Neville heel turn is in the works, and where the event ranks against other live NXT specials.

Plus,  the duo reviews Raw from Monday night with thoughts on John Cena's "bullying" of Paul Heyman and subsequent brawl with Brock Lesnar, if hyping the segment for halftime was a smart strategy, how WWE is ruining The Wyatt Family by feuding with Big Show, if the Mark Henry and Rusev segment was justified in the main event slot, why John Cena vs. Rusev shouldn't happen any time soon (if ever), Cameron's "meltdown" on Total Divas, the strange booking of Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns, and much more!

After a four month hiatus, WrestleRant Radio returns to EC Radio! In the show's Season 2 premiere, RJ returns to catch up with Graham "GSM" Matthews and discuss a variety of topics including the current state of WWE and TNA, what they've been watching on the WWE Network and the Monday Night Wars program, The Bella Twins feud, Brock Lesnar being WWE World Heavyweight Champion and who will be the one to dethrone him (and when), how Bray Wyatt's feud with Chris Jericho was underwhelming and if he's been "buried" in recent months.

Plus, they give their ranting thoughts on the controversy surrounding Alberto Del Rio and if he's WWE Hall of Fame worthy, if it's time for Rey Mysterio to officially retire, the season 3 premiere of Total Divas, the New Nation of Domination angle being dropped, predictions for Thursday's NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way special, if the fans will eventually turn on Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins' future and if he should be more aggressive, the Intercontinental Championship feud between Dolph Ziggler and The Miz, who the true face of The Attitude Era was, the legitimacy of the WWE Hall of Fame, and much more!
