Les and Vic start the show by running down a card from very early in Les’ career someone sent him the other day. Talk about a show loaded with big names! You’ll find out why one should never wear a sequined jacket when KARL GOTCH is on the card, go used car surfing with THE…

Fun show today as Les and Vic touch on the WWE stock situation and Raw. Among other things, you’ll hear what kept the Beat the Clock theme from being a success and one thing Paige is missing at this point in her career. We also answered a lot of your questions about the Memphis territory,…

Must’ve been one of those days. Les and Vic do talk a little Raw and Daniel Bryan’s injury, but today was more about wacky OLD SCHOOL stories. The secret to Les’ magnificent pompadour from back in the day was revealed, as well as why Vic now sees Les as a total heel. Also on the…

Les and Vic heard from many folks this week expecting a rant on Extreme Rules and Raw. It wasn’t the table throwing, foaming at the mouth madhouse of a show you would’ve gotten on Tuesday morning, but a fun time was had by all nevertheless. Also on the show: Vic takes issue with Chris Jericho,…

Les and Vic had a great time talking great promo guys and the differences in terms of the goal of a great promo years ago as opposed to today. Some other things on the topic list include Les losing teeth, the one person who was always able to shut Jim Cornette up, Brie and Daniel…

Les and Vic return with topics that include the purchase that has changed Vic’s life (seriously), should 3 Tombstones only result in a stinger, a potential missed opportunity in the IC title tournament, where has all the cheating in wrestling gone and even a reference to Buff Bagwell as The Handsome Stranger, which makes the…

This show could alternately be titled, “We’ll see”, because that’s the theme Les and Vic come back to a lot during the show this week. Rarely has it been more true because WWE appeared to turn the page with a variety of characters, but it will be a while before anyone can determine how effective…

It’s Wrestlemania weekend! Les & Vic will talk some Raw and give their predictions for the big show. But first, we get a little old school. Vic had the chance to see a vintage edition of Southeastern Championship Wrestling from March of 1980, and we’ll talk a bit about the wrestlers, the angles, the big…

Les and Vic return with an old school centric show this week. Yes, there is some Raw discussion, including the need to do away with some things and whether or not breaking up the Shield is the greatest idea right now. However, there’s also a great deal that was inspired by Jim Ross this week.…

No, not Super Chico; the beatdown of Daniel Bryan on Raw this week. Though Senor Alvarez and Lance Storm may not be thrilled to hear Les & Vic talk about that angle. However, happier conversation ensues in speaking about a terrific match from the 60’s well worth your time to seek out and watch from…

Les and Vic hoped to talk to Bobby Fulton today, but some technical and location issues that are explained on the show prevented that; we expect Bobby to join us next week. That said, plenty on the Occupy Raw angle; was it great? Did WWE co-opt the fans love for Bryan and cheapen it? We’ll…

The hour flew by today with fun stuff to discuss as it relates to the NXT Arrival show, which Vic LOVED. After hearing about Arrival, Les might actually jump on board the WWE Network….if he (or anyone) can get the damn thing to work! We’ll also discuss those Network issues, Elimination Chamber and Raw results…

Les and Vic weigh in with their predictions for WWE Elimination Chamber this Sunday on PPV! Also on the list of topics: WWE Network debut, John Cena and his promos that have driven Vic nuts the last couple of weeks, and great stories about 3 terrific wrestlers from back in the day that Les knew…

Another snowpocalypse type week for Les and Vic, but internet in the igloo is working fine, so we return to sprinkle a little hate on that John Cena promo. You know, where match 8000 of his never ending series with Orton is the most important match ever, why is Randy being booked the way he…

From the frozen tundra of the Northeast, Les and Vic emerge from the igloo to talk a little bit more about the CM Punk situation, and one aspect that may not be getting the kind of attention it deserves. Also on tap: why Bob Carter didn’t sell TNA and what that means for the immediate…

Les & Vic are back with the pre Super Bowl Doc Young’s Wrestling Weekly spectacular, covering the story of the week: CM Punk’s abrupt departure from WWE. In addition, we’ll talk burnout in the wrestling business, the crowd holding the Royal Rumble hostage and refusing to let go, how WWE unwittingly had a hand in…

The Race for the Ring Tournament is in the books and Johnny Gargano is wearing the championship ring! Les and Vic look back on the final show and the tournament in general. From there, we’ll talk about the late George Scott who had not only a great deal of influence as a booker in Mid…

Saturday night, a winner in the Race for the Ring tournament will bring the tournament to an end. Les and Vic will talk tournament matches, whether Les has heard from ROH or DGUSA about the Cole vs. Gargano final, and what makes Adam Pearce a performer who could work in any era. We’ll also talk…

Les and Vic are thawing out from the Polar Vortex and talk about the main topic of the week: the WWE Network. We’ll discuss the potential effect of moving away from PPV, how it may affect the creative process and more. We’ll also chat about Dolph Ziggler’s and the way the company has reacted to…

Les & Vic are back from a brief holiday break to discuss the news of the week, and a couple of things that went down since the last show. Les had an interesting reaction while watching the Daniel Bryan/Wyatts angle from Monday night which he’ll share. Also on the menu: Batista’s return, AJ Styles and…
