It’s April 5, 1992! Are you ready for WrestleMania VIII? A huge double main event tonight, as Sid Justice faces Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair defends the WWF Championship against Macho Man Randy Savage! I know I’m ready! Let’s go!
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!
#BaneJorge
Mark and Jorge both miss the show, leaving Joe, JT, and G to fill two hours on this week’s show all on their own.

You know you did.
Joe, Jorge, G, Mark, and a particularly angry JT return for another week of BWF Radio! We touch on Old School RAW, talk IMPACT, and review SmackDown. We talk in depth about the WWE Network, including DirecTV’s reaction to the announcement, the value it presents to the consumers, and much more. Mae Young’s health is discussed. Ryback goes crazy on Twitter, we hear more rumors about Jeff Jarrett and Toby Keith’s supposed new promotion, and find out why Dusty Rhodes wasn’t a part of Old School RAW. A number of women’s wrestlers won’t be on upcoming shows for various reasons, including Paige being injured, and Kaitlyn leaving the company. All this, and cryptic tweets from Rowdy Roddy Piper. Tune in!
So, you guys know the deal – I usually watch 30 minutes of RAW, leave for work, and review the rest of this show in real time as I watch it. Well, due to inclement weather here in Buffalo, I find myself sitting at home right now, having watched all but 30 minutes of RAW. I went out to catch my bus to work, but although the local bus company insists that their buses were all running on time today, mine never showed up. At the time I left, it was 11 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -20. As I type this, it’s 1 with a wind chill of -32. So, if you can’t tell, IT’S FUCKING COLD OUTSIDE! So, I called my boss, told him I couldn’t make it in, then came home and watched the rest of Old School RAW. Afterward, I did some DDP Yoga, so I’m here now to actually review the whole show. Let’s go!
I watch 30 minutes of RAW, freeze my ass off waiting for a bus that never shows up, and then come home and watch the rest of RAW. That’s how this particular RAW review works. It’s only getting colder!
#BadNewsBarrett
Joe, Jorge, G, and Mark – that’s right, no JT this week (he’s off bumper bowling at Chuck E. Cheese) – bring you another great week of BoredWrestlingFan Radio, brought to you by hashtag ButtPlug. Joe has a ton of stuff crash down on him from above to start the show, leaving the left arrow key on his laptop as a casualty. The wrestling television programs get reviewed by the wrong guys, with Star Wars themed consequences. Joe tells us when to expect the WWE Network launch announcement, and it’s revealed that Chris Benoit will be shown on network programming, albeit with a disclaimer at the beginning of each show he’s featured in. We find out who The Undertaker has requested to face at WrestleMania. Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair are backing NFL teams you wouldn’t expect them to in this post season. JT checks in from Chuck E. Cheese (which he insists isn’t Chuck E. Cheese), Rowdy Rodimus joins us via our Ustream chat box (and you can too, every Sunday LIVE at 2PM Eastern!), and Jorge leaves early for “band practice.” Tune in!
