Lords Of Pain Radio

Death Before Dishonor is always one of Ring of Honor's biggest shows of the year.  Your X-Patriot, Shane "XanMan" Sebunia and Jeff break down what happened on the show.  CHAOS and The Bullet Club faced off in a 10-man tag match, The Briscoes defended their World Tag Team Titles against a desperate Addiction team, Kenny King in a special challenge match against Jushin Thunder Liger, and Punishment Martinez defended the TV Title against the always excellent Chris Sabin, and, of course, Jay Lethal defending the big one against Will Ospreay.

Did you know that Chris Jericho was the first ever Undisputed Champion? And that he beat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night to achieve this feat? In consecutive matches, no less? Yeah, you probably knew that. But when's the last time you watched it? RetroShock has got you covered, as Steven Bell and Samuel 'Plan put the vote to you, the listener, and you all chose Vengeance 2001 as the show we'll be covering this month. In addition to the Undisputed Championship mini-tournament matches, there's plenty more to discuss about the show, up to and including one of Steven's personal favorite Big Evil era Undertaker matches against Rob Van Dam. Add in the whole Invasion mess that had just ended and discussion of the somewhat wonky vibe within the wrestling industry at the time and, well, we've got a lot of fun stuff to discuss. So join us here LIVE as LOP Radio's RetroShock takes a look back at WWF Vengeance 2001!

On this week's show, Mazza and Plan take a look at Maz's new Lords of Pain column, the WWE Power 10, and discuss recurring themes from the first few weeks.  The column lists the 10 best performances of the week in the WWE and is voted for by their fellow LOP columnists.  With the fifth edition on the way, the guys look at a few things the series has highlighted so far.  The rise of Becky Lynch.  The re-emergence of Dolph Ziggler alongside Drew McIntyre.  The strength of Samoa Joe's character work and the contrast to the WWE Champion.  Tune in for their thoughts on all this and more.

Death Before Dishonor 2018 is almost here and to whet your appetite, your X-Patriot, Shane "XanMan" Sebunia, and Jeff break down Ring of Honor's June pay per view, Best in the World.  Matt Hardy apparently retired this weekend, so we will break down his career.  CMLL had their 85th Anniversary this weekend and we'll talk about that a little, plus some of the happenings at Destruction in Hiroshima.  Professional Wrestling is busy as all get out right now!

The most prolific battleground in WWE returns as the Hell In A Cell PPV comes our way with plenty of grudges set to be settled inside the structure! What sort of chaos will Jeff Hardy bring to the Cell as he enters it for the first time in his effort to gain revenge on the diabolical Randy Orton? Will Becky Lynch be able to overcome her former best friend, Charlotte, to finally get her hands on the Smackdown Women's Championship? Can the dominant team of Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler maintain said dominance and their Tag Team gold when they step into the ring with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins? Can Ronda Rousey maintain her own dominant streak and knock off the persistent and cagey Alexa Bliss? And what will happen when the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman, finally gets his hands on Roman Reigns inside the Cell with the Universal Championship on the line? We'll have the answers to those questions and more when LOP Radio's Aftershock hits the air shortly after the PPV ends! Join your hosts, Steven Bell an

Steven Bell is back in the saddle with a new show taking a look at the WWE product as a whole. From predictions to rants to good old over analysis, AATG on LOPR is your one stop shop for all sorts of pro wrestling goodness. On this, the debut episode, Steven takes a look at tonight's Hell in a Cell PPV event, giving opinions on all the major storylines in the company while making some officially official predictions. From thoughts on Becky Lynch and Braun Strowman's "heel" turns to how this show will lead into next month's big Evolution show and everything in between, lots of ground was covered. Lots of fun was had, too. Game on!

This week, it's pay-per-view week! Mav and 'Plan are your guides to the Hell In A Cell card, and they're cautiously optimistic! The line up itself looks fun, despite the weirdness of Orton vs Hardy, and it's refreshing to live in a post-Lesnar landscape. Expect discussion on the women's revolution, the rise of Strowman, Shield vs DrewDolph, and much much more. As always, mirth is obligatory!

Perfect 10 Wrestling host Matt Maher (a.k.a. LordsofPain.net columnist The Implications)  plays Worst Case Scenarios! The game is to book the upcoming WWE PPV as badly as possible. The wrong winners, destroy momentum, set up the most dreadful storylines. Can YOU book it worse? (probably yes) WWE Hell in a Cell is once again upon us... yeah, I can't even fiegn it, I'm not hyped at all. But who doesn't like steel? Ey?

This week, The Doc excitedly previews Hell in a Cell, his first honest to goodness preview podcast to be labeled with a term like "excitedly" since WrestleMania.  Bottom line: he is digging what WWE is doing right now and finds the product far more engaging today than he has in much longer than several months, if he is being honest.  A four to five match competition for Match of the Night fueled by more interesting television has Doc feeling good about this pay-per-view's potential.  So, if you need some enthusiasm in your life, this podcast will do your wrestling fandom some good.  Also, Doc explores WWE's recent trend of promoting three separate special events on Raw each week, with a great deal of focus of course on Hell in a Cell, but prominently ensuring that nobody ignores Super Showdown or Evolution.
