Alright, doing this a little different this week. It’s 8PM right now and the signature open for RAW is on my TV. I’m going to try my best to review the first two hours as I watch so I only have to do an hour after I get there, thus leaving me time to do WrestleMania 8 later on tonight. So anyway, let’s go!
No time for italic humor, show’s starting! Click the button!
Last year, I did reviews of the first six WrestleMania events as part of WrestleMania week. I complained a lot after that week about how bad WrestleMania V was. This year, I’m picking up where I left off, with WrestleMania VII – and the best part about it is, I don’t have to buy the individual events, I can just pull them up on the WWE Network! So, without further adieu, I review WrestleMania VII – Superstars and Stripes Forever!
The “Perfect” piece of art for this week’s show.
Jorge and Mark take the day off, leaving Joe, G, and JT to fend for themselves. Luckily, a few friends dropped by as Andrew J Reimers returned to the show, bringing along his band, to perform the West Texas Rednecks’ WCW hit “Rap Is Crap,” and artist Rob Schamberger dropped in to talk about his upcoming live painting as part of WrestleMania Axxess next weekend in New Orleans. We ask Rob about his favorite pieces he’s done, pieces he’s looking forward to doing the most, and much, much more. Find out the surprising World Champion that owns his own likeness from Rob’s Champions Collection.
In the news, we talk about the whereabouts of Rob Van Dam and Sting. We get some thoughts on The Ultimate Warrior’s Hall of Fame induction. We find out what’s going on with Sin Cara – both of them. DISH Network cracks and offers WrestleMania to it’s subscribers. Plus, find out how much Mick Foley raised for charity with his most recent raffle, which our guest Rob Schamberger had a part of. All this and more on the latest episode of BWF Radio! Tune in!

Batter up!
Hopping time… Now with Duckface
More Impact than you can handle.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is in New York today to be on one of my favorite TV shows! That’s right, he’s a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote his new movie, Sabotage. And he’s also on some other show filming live from New York tonight – Brooklyn to be more precise. He’s one of the guest hosts of Monday Night RAW! But we’ll get there in a little bit. Some other stuff happens first. What kind of stuff? I guess you’ll have to read on!
I watched 2 hours of this show and still have no idea what happened, so I’ll start over and post my findings here. Go ahead, click the “Read More” link. You know you want to.

This week on BWF Radio, the crew are joined by indy star “The Handicapped Hero” Gregory Iron, who talks about his start in professional wrestling, being inspired by Zack Gowen, his friendship with Johnny Gargano, and the infamous moment in Chicago with CM Punk and Colt Cabana. We get into Gregory’s wrestling DVD collection and talk about the benefits of owning physical copies over digital media such as the WWE Network. In the news, we talk Phil Brooks on Talking Dead, learn why G is now calling the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal the “ARMBAR,” and learn about a surprising substance now banned by the WWE. Brooke Tessmacher returns to social media, and Le’d Tapa leaves TNA. We learn the value of stock held by higher up members of the WWE. All this, and much, much more.

This week’s break song was “Voices of the Crowd” by Aviators. Buy it here!
Hopefully tonight’s episode is decent, and not like a Duke first round loss? Only one way to find out!
Hopping time…
If I wrote a proper intro this would take five minutes longer to read.
Let me tell you right now that the first hour of this show pretty much dragged. That said, I’m going to be really skimming through it this week. The second hour was actually pretty good, and the start of hour three? Well, you’ll see when we get there. So, let’s go!
I watch the first two hours at home, drive to work, then have to watch the entire show again because I forgot what happened and didn’t have the foresight to review it live. It’s irrelevant anyway – you’re more interested in Gregory Iron being our special guest on this Sunday’s BWF Radio.
