We are almost to the shot heard around the world in the match between Kerry Von Erich and Ric Flair but first Dave and RJ break down the episode before on December 27, 1982.  The show was main evented with a battle royal in which there would be $10,000 on a pole.  This unique match was preempted by the finals for the NWA World Six Man titles between Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy, and David Von Erich taking on the Sharpe Brothers and Tom Steele.  Lastly, Dave and RJ add two more rivalries to their rankings as Justin is off on assignment this week.

As one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time Austin Aries has been in TNA/IMPACT, ROH, WWE, and now Control Your Narrative.  Aries is one of those wrestlers that can have a match with literally anyone.  From a cruiserweight match to a heavyweight match or even a tag team match Aries prided himself when he started training and then when he debute as someone that can do anything you ask of them.  We talk about his historical runs in TNA as X Division and Heavyweight Champions, as well as what really went happened when he worked for WWE and ultimately being released by the company.  But fear not Aries is a much better person then he was back then and continues to make the world a better place to live in.

This week RJ and Justin try their hardest to bring to you the best of the June 13, 2002 edition of Smackdown. However, the highs are few but some of the best points was the continuation of the King of the Ring tournament as well as the addition of Hulk Hogan to the Smackdown roster.  With just two weeks away from King of the Ring the major feuds are being sewed up and are ready to be on PPV.

Justin and RJ are starting off the march to King of the Ring 2002 with some ruthless aggression. This is the era where we see Triple H on top of his game, Undertaker dominating all the young boys into showing him the respect, and we see the rise of the next big thing Brock Lesnar. This week we rant about the raw that started the buzz for King of the Ring. If you are to watch one match of this show we would recommend the main event with Ric Flair taking on Stone Cold Steve Austin. This is a week before Austin will take his ball and go home. Come on the trip to the King of the Ring with us.

Justin and RJ get RAW this week as they continue towards Judgement Day.  With the pay-per-view being a Smackdown only event we wanted to show you what was being done on the other show at this time. RAW was being main evented by Shawn Michaels taking on Kenny from the Spirit Squad with Shane McMahon as the referee. The feud between the McMahons and Triple H and Shawn Michaels was in full swing here as Triple H was in the corner of Kenny.  However this wasn't the only time we would see Triple H on this show as he teamed with Shelton Benjamin and Chris Masters taking on the WWE Champion John Cena and the Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam in a Texas Tornado Handicap Match for the titles.  As you can imagine this show as a bit of a cluster; find out what Justin and RJ have to Rant about on this show.

Welcome back to Ranters Nation as this week Justin and RJ welcome Mike Hoop to the show as we rant about Wrestle Mania X from Madison Square Garden in 1994.  As one of the most remembered events in WWF history this event is mainly known for two matches; Owen Hart vs Bret Hart and Razor Ramon vs Shawn Michaels for the Undisputed Intercontinental Championship in their iconic Ladder Match.  However, there were still a few other great matches as we saw the WWF Champion Yokozuna defend his title against both Lex Luger then Bret Hart.  Justin, RJ, and Hoop still leave plenty of time to rant about some of the not so great parts of this event.

From the 1980s all the way up to current day "The Icon" Sting has been the franchise of every promotion he has been in.  Stings feuds with Hulk Hogan and Ric Fair in NWA/WCW put him on the map; his later feuds with Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe in TNA cemented him as the wrestling icon that we all know today.

Brian also shares his thoughts and stories from the infamous match from Victory Road 2011 between Sting and Jeff Hardy.

As Wrestle Mania 13 is days away Justin and RJ are ranting about one of the best RAW's yet.  The main event was Sid putting his title on the line against Bret Hart inside a steel cage. The match had its fair share of shenanigans throughout; but on the whole this RAW had fantastic build going into Wrestle Mania.  However, there was some points of this card that Justin and RJ did rant about for sure.

We start this week with the first of three shows going to Super Brawl 8 at the end of the month.  We first stop off at WCW Nitro from the Alamodome in  San Antonio, Texas before a record crowd.  This show had its few positive moments but as you will hear on this episode RJ and Justin weren't as high on this show as some may think.  This and so much more as we march our way to Super Brawl 8 on our February 25th episode.
