HWR #128 04/14/15 Monday Night Yawn

This week Travis fell asleep during NXT and Chris fell asleep during RAW. That seems about right. The last couple weeks after WrestleMania have been a little lackluster. Luckly, we still have Lucha Underground putting on phenomenal shows and you, our listeners,  giving awesome feedback for this week's #PushKeepFire! In fact, you guys did such a good job that we have another listener-interaction event for you! Tune in to find out what!

HWR #127 04/07/15 It's Gonna Be A Long Sprummer

Things seem to be settling down after WrestleMania and we've already had a less-than-impressive RAW. The honeymoon is over and it's gonna be a long Sprummer! Fortunately, the guys at Lucha Underground are still putting in quality shows week in and week out! NXT was average but hopefully we will have that pick up pretty soon, too. We are also looking forward to WrestleThon 2!

WOW! What a week for wrestling! Coming off one of the best WrestleManias in recent history, we were treated to a fantastic 2 hours of RAW... yes... 2 hours.... This episode is jam packed with our coverage of WrestleMania and the RAW after. we had plenty to rave and rant about! We also read off your opinions from Facebook on the show! But not only that, we also had an interview with our good friend Aaron Garcia, who came on to promote the next big event for us to look forward to, ComicPalooza! Aaron had a big exclusive reveal for us in this episode and we gurantee that you'll be excited to hear who will be at ComicPalooza this year signing autographs! Then afterwards, we had a "Too Hot For HWR" segment in the B Roll that might offend some people.... or you might totally agree with it...

We talked all about our thoughts on the accident and how it could affect the wrestling world. After that we had the uneasy task of shifting to the discussion of a possible Match Of The Year Candidate from Lucha Underground.
