HWR #152 09/29/15 YAY! C H

We had another weekend where we had a few things happen locally in texas that we attended. First, Abel and Travis went to Lonestar Championship Wrestling and it seems like Abel has gotten a little more involved in the promotion. And Chris went to Dallas on Monday for the screening of the Jake The Snake Roberts documentary! We did have our ROH talk that led into our 2nd interview in our ROH Interveiw Series with none other than ACH! This was a very casual, non-structured interview where we just had fun! After we got into our NXT talk that included our #PushKeepFire for the week. Finally we half-ass preview the half-ass event that WWE is putting on the Network this weekend. Seems like the only good parts of RAW were the beginning and the end. Guess they can't all be winners!

HWR #151 09/22/15 Texas Wrestling Weekend Of Doom Aftermath

Wow! We are still feeling the effects of the crazy weekend we had here in Texas! We had a LOT to talk about! NXT in Houston has some issues that we did not expect but the show was fun! Then ROH All-Star Extravaganza was mind-blowing! Every match was great and the feel in the Arean was electric! We were granted several interveiws ont eh second night of ROH tapings and we will be releasing them one-by-one for the next few weeks! Thsi week, we had on Keith Lee and Shane Taylor, PBK (the Pretty Boy Killers)! It was a great interview and we did Bask In the Glory! Make sure you come out to Lonestar Championship Wrestling this weekend to see Keith in action! Last but not least, we attended Night Of Champions here in Houston and we had plenty to talk about form that and the RAW after! It's been a long 6 days but it's all been worth it! 

HWR #150 09/15/15 The Grand Weekend Preview

This weekend is gonna be great! It kicks off early with NXT in town on Thursday, ROH in San Antonio on Friday and Saturday and then capped off by WWE Night Of Champions on Sunday! We started off by discussing this week's NXT episodes and looking ahead to the show here. Then we talked all about the ROH ppv and gave our predictions for the big event. We did the same for WWE Night Of Champions. This week's concept was pretty straightforward but the content was very rich! We're gonna have an awesome time and we hope to see some of you out and about this weekend! 

HWR #149 09/08/15 Ice Cream Party!

It was a bit of a ho-hum week for wrestling. Luckily, we had some Blue Bell to keep our attention! But eventually we had to talk about Seth's double performance on RAW, the continual failure of the Dolph/Lana/Rusev/Summer story, and the hilarity of the New Day! We also had a few observations from NXT and ROH. But over all, this week is the calm before the storm!

HWR #148 09/01/15 The Crazies

WOW, what a sad week of wrestling news! The crazies really came out to play! We had a shooting at the WWE Performance Center, Seth's g/f got fired for Nazi pony pics, Bram got arrested for domestic violence again, Hogan apologized on TV, and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka got arrested for the murder of his g/f that happened over 30 years ago! Holy crap! We talked all about these issues! Next, we talked about the happenings on RAW and how much of a fail the Diva's Beat the Clock Challenge was and how much of a win the Tag Team Revolution is! Of course, we touched on the NXT TakeUnder Brooklyn episode from last Wednesday, it wasn't as much of a hit as TakeOver. then, we capped it all off with a little bit of ROH and local indie talk!

HWR #147 08/25/15 Marathon Mode 2.0

What a weekend! NXT TakeOver Brooklyn, SummerSlam and the RAW after were all amazing! We had a ton of things to talk about and we were drowning in Match Of the Week Candidates! We might have even picked a Match Of The Year Candidate! And he three big surprises on RAW were a great way to finish string of shows! But, that doesn't mean that we did not have things to criticize; there was plenty of that as well! Also, we had a great interview with local female wrestler Kenzie Sykes! She had some interesting thing to say about leaving ROW and showing up at Lonestar Championship Wrestling! If you've been a fan of the local indie wrestling scene, you will enjoy this interview! Also, Abel was the ring announcer for Texas All Pro Wrestling for the first time this past Saturday! How did he do? Well, we'll let Chris handle that! This is a huge episode that is packed with great content!

HWR #146 08/18/15 Cool For The SummerFest

This weekend is going to be busy! On Saturday we have NXT TakeOver Brooklyn! Then on Sunday we have SummerSlam! We did full previews for both huge events with our predictions and anticipation levels! Will they both live up to our expectations? Will any titles change hands? Will Travis fall asleep during the show? Many questions will be answered this weekend! And the question of "What match won the HWR SummerSlam Showdown?" has been answered! Also, this Saturday is Texas All Pro Wrestling and our very own Abel will the ring announcer for the entire event! It's a really special thing for him and we can't wait! Make sure you listen for thepromo code so that you can get your General Admission tix for just $5 in this episode! That leads us to last weekend; Lonestar Championship Wrestling had another great event and we did a quick review of it! Also, NJPW had their G1 Climax ppv and Chris was a big fan of this show and he has a potential Match Of The Year Candidate from it... It's a good time to be a wrestling fan in Houston! 

HWR #145 Saving The Best For Ultima

This week we had a lot of things to gripe over from WWE. But when is that not the case? But there were a few good things to come out of RAW too! for example, the backstage segment with Steven Amell and HHH. Of course we tallied up the votes for the Semi-finals for HWR SummerSlam Showdown and next week's finals are gonna be good! after a break we look at NXT and ROH but none of that compares to the season finale of Lucha Underground! Ultima Lucha was a great show and we enjoyed it immensely! However, Abel had a few specific harsh criticisms. Is he being too hard on the product? Probably. Also, Chris went out to ROW this past weekend and gave a short report of his experience out there. 

HWR #144 08/04/15 No More Bubblegum

It was yet another sad week for the wrestling world. The great "Rowdy" Roddy Piper passed away. We talked all about the sad news and the guys shared some of their personal favorite moments from Piper's career. That bled in to talk about Dana White and his comments about wrestling before "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey big UFC title defense. Was it all a work? Is Dana just a douche? Of course there was a lot to get to in WWE talk as well! Rollins, Neville, Cena, Brock and Taker were all focal points of this week's discussion! Also, Ultima Lucha is upon us and what a great start! we look forward to this week's big season finale! ROH had a couple good matches on tv this week! Oh and Chris spoils all of TNA's upcoming story-lines. JERK! We also had a big announcement! Able is going to be the ring announcer for Texas All Pro Wrestling! And as part of our partnership with TAP, we have a exclusive promo code to get a big discount from their ticket prices! Tune in to get the code!

HWR #143 07/27/15 Oh Brother!

So by now everyone has heard the news of Hogan and his racist remarks. Now hear ours! We really spent a lot of time talking about that and Cena's broken nose to start off the show! Also, Ultima Lucha starts this week and we are super excited! ROH had a clip show and we had a couple things to say about that. Eva Marie had her first match on NXT and our opinion of it might surprise you! Lastly, this past weekend Abel and Chris went out to TAP Wrestling they recounted their time out there.
