The Whole Ref’n Show FROM HELL!!! On this week’s episode, our heroes Daryn and Perry discuss VICE’s Dark Side of the Ring episode about WWE’s 2002 “Plane Ride From Hell.” Everybody’s got opinions, but our boys are the only ones calling “right down the middle!” Believe that! From the accusations against Ric Flair, Scott Hall and Dustin Runnels, to the commentary of Mike Chioda, RVD and Justin Credible, we discuss childish behavior, unprofessional behavior and illegal behavior. Please fasten your safetybelts, there will be some turbulence. There is also discussion this week about Big E’s title win as well as Samoa Joe’s title surrender. Also, we almost went with the intro, “The Whole Ref’n Show 2.0,” so you know we are talking about the debut of the “spin-art brand,” NXT2.0! What are they doing in Orlando!? And what did AEW find in Flushing Meadows? NOT Fran Drescher, but perhaps a “MOTY” candidate between Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega! It was the “Grand Slam Dynamite” tennis extravaganza from Arthur Ashe Stadium, and AEW is starting to look like the company they promised they would be (minus the tennis part)! It’s another fantastic episode, #dearlisteners! Thanks for listening!

EPISODE #144 -FAREWELL TO DAFFNEY/”MCMAHON-XT”/AEW: ALL OUT FALLOUT
Saturday Sep 11, 2021
Saturday Sep 11, 2021
Where did we learn to speak English? College… and the Police Academy movies! That couldn’t be more evident than in this week’s edition of the ONLY wrestling podcast that calls it right down the middle! And believe it or not, there’s beaucoups #wrestlenewsandwrestleviews as the boys cover the ALL OUT fallout!! In the wake of the most surprise-tastic AEW card yet, our heroes Daryn and Perry dissect what it means to get the 1-2 punch of Adam Cole (baybay!) and Bryan Danielson debuting in the same segment… and guess what? The boys DO NOT agree on this at all! Hear all about Ruby Soho and Minoru Suzuki also appearing at ALL OUT and much, much more from Tony Khan’s cavalcade of vanilla midgets! And it doesn’t end there, #dearlisteners… NXT: Spin-Art Edition gets roasted, toasted and burnt to a crisp. On a more somber note, we say goodbye to “The Scream Queen” Daffney Unger, the one of a kind talent that passed away this week. Hug a friend, call your mother and download and subscribe to The Whole Ref’n Show! **Bonus drinking game this week: drink every time Perry says Bryan Danielson’s name wrong!

EPISODE #143 - THE RETURN OF CM PUNK/NXT TAKEOVER 36 & WWE SUMMERSLAM REVIEW
Sunday Aug 29, 2021
Sunday Aug 29, 2021
It’s called a “The Whole Ref’n Show pop” now, so get it right or pay the price! Our heroes Daryn and Perry dive headfirst into criticism of the otherwise much lauded return of C.M. Punk. As the artist formerly known as Philip Jujitsu Brooks made a huge splash in Chicago on AEW Rampage, the internet broke, they renamed the “Road Warrior pop,” Tommy Dreamer fell in love with a crying guy, and wrestling fans fought in the streets over ice cream bars and banded t-shirts! I guess the dude really IS a cult of personality. As for the company that Punk shit all over in his return speech, WWE had their annual SummerSlam weekend, emanating partially from the city that never knew a Sunday, Las Vegas! On a Saturday night, WWE hosted a superspreader event of 56,000+ and feted 2 massive surprise returns of their own, resulting in 2 massive unsurprising burials. Our boys get back to formula this week by speaking with great zeal about the WTFamania that is WWE booking. Daryn and Perry discuss every match from SummerSlam as well as the last yellow and black NXT event, Takeover 36. Welcome back, #dearlisteners, and in this Khan eat Khan world, never forget to ask yourself, “have you moved the needle today?”--

Release the hounds! That must be what it sounds like backstage in the WWE right now as President Nick Khan continues his hatchet job on the WWE roster! This week our heroes Daryn and Perry (and not a lick of rust from “The Great Hiatus”) discuss the plethora of WWE releases as the E heads into SummerSlam weekend. The boys, in the interest of fairness, recuse themselves from a head-to-head rendition of picking PPV winners and instead enlist the aid of AJ Styles!! Well… it’s an AJ Styles plushie doll… “he’s” making the picks on this very special episode. The other Khan, wee Tony Khan, and his ‘Fed of Dreams’ AEW gets a lot of attention this week too, as Daryn and Perry break down the first ever episode of Rampage (and revisit the “3rd Labour of Jericho” from the last podcast… don’t retire before you get a load of this). And there’s so much more, #dearlisteners! Ric Flair appears at TripleMania XXIX! David Arquette, Dalton Castle, Jungle Boy, Pee Wee Herman AND a WWE Hall of Famer all appear on Family Feud (and they’re all littler than Steve Harvey)! And you know what else? Yellowstone. That’s what else!

It's WAR!! It's war on Wednesdays, #dearlisteners! And we don't mean your morning commutes... NXT and AEW are going head-to-head (HEAD-TO-HEAD) on hump day nowadays, and it's a real deal ratings war in the making. There will be casualties, winners and losers. But us? We are all winners. Our heroes Daryn and Perry, winners both, are here to discuss this new rivalry as well as SmackdownLive on FOX, Hell in a Cell 2019 and the upcoming "Crown Jewel" special on the WWE Network on Halloween! Trick or treat gets an all new flavor in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. What do our heroes think about Lio Rush getting paid in purple gold? Jericho's aged presence on the "hot" "new" product? Cain Velazquez's "dad bod?" Who is DOA (not the Disciples of Apocalypse)? Who doesn't channel enough magic & demons? And who drops in at the Accountability Crib? You may be surprised at how NOT outraged the boys are about the end of the Rollins/Fiend Hell in a Cell match... only one way to find out! Listen to the latest, greatest episode of the ONLY wrestling podcast that calls it right down the middle, The Whole Ref'n Show! Peace in the Middle East!
