Big thanks again to Clutch City Productions for making the interview happen! Travis and Abel were without Chris because he was at the SmackDown taping. It was another no-Chris-party! The guys discussed Impact vs NXT again, the return of Total Divas and of course the new stipulation added to the HHH vs Bryan WrestleMania match! all that and more in this week's episode!

HWR #73 03/11/14 Better Late Than Never Or Too Little, Too Late?

On this episode of HWR, we review TNA's Lockdown ppv much to Travis' dismay. After that we convinced Chris that he had to watch this past week's episode of NXT! But, of course, the 500lb elephant in the room, aka, the Occupy RAW segment had to be discussed! Was this a case of "too little, too late" or was it "better late than never?" We all had different opinions on the matter and it made for a good discussion! If you wanted Daniel Bryan talk, we had it! The Road to WrestleMania took a very interesting turn this week!

HWR #72 03/04/14 Saying Hello To The Bad Guy

Another major stop on the road to WrestleCon for us in this one! We spoke the the legendary Scott Hall!! That's right, The Bad Guy himself gave us a few quick minutes of his time to help promote his appearance at Wrestlecon at the Clutch city Productions booth during WrestleMania Weekend! He spoke a little bit about his life now and helping his son, Cody, in becoming a wrestler and how happy he is now after his hip surgery a year ago! It's a great must-listen interview! After all that, we gave our predictions for TNA Lockdown, we reviewed NXT Arrival and topped it all off with some great WWE talk fueled buy our "Ask HWR" questions from our great listeners! This is one of those can't-miss episod!

Special Edition 03/01/14 The Ladies Of HWR

Behind every man-child podcaster is a strong woman rolling her eyes! While the HWR Crew was enthralled with the WWE Network, their better-halves took over recording duties! Randi, Nancy and Lisa talked alot about the state of professional wrestling from a females' perspective! And apparently Lisa has a tendency for hitting the table while talking much like Chris does... only worse.

HWR #71 02/25/14 Botched To You By The WWE Network

This was a busy week for the WWE and the IWC! So many mixed feelings and emotions were running wild!
