It's finally time for ThROH The Years to cover ROH's first PPV ever, Respect is Earned! In an extra long episode, we spend over an hour talking about the story behind ROH going to PPV, before covering not just the show itself, but the matches that only made the DVD. Hear who we thought had a stand out performance, see what live report review caught us off guard, and discover what segment made Trevor irrationally angry. All that and a ton more on this episode! https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/bb1fda1a-73d8-453b-9b90-946f9a4ac45e

Today's ThROH The Years covers Reborn Again. Is it a fresh new chapter for ROH, or one of the most B-est B-shows that's ever B-een? We talk a ton about ROH's move to PPV and a contract system as well as Bryan Danielson's low key return, the Briscoes being awesome and so much more. All that and Matt and Trevor nearly come to blows debating the physical attractiveness of alt-comedy figure Connor O'Malley. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/adc7b129-df84-4319-ab21-fd2af711e964

On a new ThROH The Years that goes well over ten minutes past it's alloted time, we cover Good Times, Great Memories. It's Colt Cabana's farewell show but in many ways it's a farewell to Christopher Daniels, Allison Danger, Homicide and Shingo as well. We spend extra time focusing on all of them, but still review a show with some very notable matches. I'm just realizing as I write this that we forgot at the end of the podcast to say if Good Times, Great Memories was a great event. It was. I am saying it here. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/e2d2445a-c5fb-498e-9420-46752b988831

On the new ThROH The Years, we go in wild directions. Ghost Bone vs. Cow Bone! Original Pranksters! The Jim Ross Award Winner Jim Ross! It will all make sense when you hear it. Oh, we also cover The Battle of St. Paul, a show with a great crowd, the debut of some Chikara peeps, and so much more. All this and Matt expertly makes a point in 45 seconds that Trevor spent 5 minutes trying to make. I can make a mean comment like that because I'm Trevor. It's me, I'm writing this. Hello. Listen to the episode. It's fun! https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/ea922aa1-f896-4f1b-aab9-c6d0c79c9cf1

Vomit, Grandmothers, doing the splits. On one of the weirder ThROH The Years we cover all these topics and more, as we review a fairly bizarre show known as The Battle of the Icons.

ThROH The Years finally starts their coverage of 2007 with our season premier! We spend a lot of time going over the coverage of the untimely passing of ROH co-founder Doug Gentry, an unheralded part of wrestling history. We then review Dedicated, a show we had a surprisingly good time watching, with an insane clap, a big goose egg, and a revelation that Trevor has never watched Good Times. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/8c9ed117-3fb6-4cc0-9d1a-0700fe2eed86

On the new ThROH The Years, Albert Ching joins us to discuss The Bitter End, one of the worst shows we've reviewed. A night full of normally great promoers doing awful mic work, two long-lived storylines ending in the worst ways possible, a car that needs to be moved and a grandma that gets scared. Listen to Trevor lose his mind, Matt worry about warmth, and Albert reveal what movie he and Matt saw on that trip. This one goes some places. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/c16ca868-88c4-4071-8cf9-60ecd2555776
