EPISODE #112 - MAURO RANALLO CAR WRECK/NEW WOMEN'S TAG TEAM TITLES/TOP 10 OF 2018

It's 2019, a new year, a new calendar, a new set of opportunities for all us insects called the human race... and there promises to be all sorts of new to The Whole Ref'n Show this year as well! But one thing that is not new and not going anywhere either is that this is the ONLY wrestling podcast that calls it right down the middle! Ringing in the new year, our heroes Daryn and Perry discuss Mauro Ranallo's Christmas Eve car crash, the announcement of WWE Women's Tag Team Championships, and they take a peek at New Japan Pro Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom 13 lineup (review to follow next week!). But the big to-do of this week's episode is actually not looking forward at 2019, but looking BACK at 2018, as Daryn and Perry introduce to you AND each other their picks for their Top 10 Favorite Wrestlers of the year 2018! This is an annual tradition, the 3rd annual to be exact; it's a fun time to listen to the boys discuss who they felt really made a difference in wrestling and in their little spheres of excitement over the past 365 days. It is a great conversation about wrestling, about what wrestling means to two grown men, about athleticism, excitement, storytelling, money, contracts, livelihoods, legacies and much more minutiae found only in the connective tissue of the wild world of wrestling! And speaking of annual traditions. Listen closely, #dearlisteners, for the announcement of The Whole Ref'n Show 3rd Annual Royal Rumble Contest!!! It's the announcement of the year, and THIS year, you have a better chance of winning than ever! How is that, you might ask? Listen and find out! Happy New Year!
