Rabblecast Ep. 369 - WWE Money in the Bank/RAW Fallout, TNA/Wrestle-1 News

WWE's Money in the Bank PPV was what many have come to expect from a WWE PPV. Excitement, surprises, and some questionable endings to more than one match. But all that led to a "reset" of sorts on the following Monday Night RAW. The anticipation of someone cashing in the "Money in the Bank" contract at any given time gave RAW a much needed boost. Not that it needed it though, with all the other great moments from this past RAW.

TNA and Wrestle-1 are continuing to help each other with announcements, upcoming shows, and the continued talent exchange. With so many "misses" on their home turf, maybe TNA can capitalize overseas in other markets. Time will tell if this recent partnership between TNA and Wrestle-1 makes any difference for either company.

Rabblecast Ep. 367 - WWE Cuts, TNA Slammiversary 2014, and More!

It came almost out of nowhere, but it is not uncommon for WWE to cut a small group of performers post Wrestlemania. As always the speculation runs rampant as to the exact reason why. The WWE Network under performing, the renewed NBC TV deal not being as big as WWE hoped it would be, and a few others.

TNA Wrestling was forced to change the main event of their recent Slammiversary PPV. This was due to Authority figure, MVP being injured during an overseas match. This resulted in two qualifying matches as Bobby Lashley took on Samoa Joe and Austin Aries battled Kenny King to see who would earn a spot in the three-way steel cage match against current TNA Champion, Eric Young.

Rabblecast Rewind - The Very First Episode Of The Rabblecast

Eight years ago(5/17/06), two friends got together to record what was suppose to be a simple demo for a New Jersey radio station. That demo never reached the mail. Instead it became, The Rabblecast. A weekly excuse for two guys(James Hatton and Erik Hernandez) to get together and talk about one of their many favorite passions, professional wrestling. For eight years The Rabblecast has covered all things pro wrestling. From the big companies, the local shows, and even a few road stories from the guys themselves.

Since then the show has changed. Multiple guest(s), format changes, people have come and gone. But the idea has always been the same. Let's talk about wrestling!

With this episode, we are re-releasing our very first episode. Aside from the added intro, the audio is untouched and presented in its original form. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did back then. Thank you for listening.
