On the new ThROH The Years we are almost at the end of 2006, starting the last double shot of events with International Challenge. It's a show with one of the scariest injuries in ROH history, the debut of a great manager, and not one, but two dated Iron Sheik references. Christopher Daniels charms us, and we sum up the dry winter of 06. GET READY FOR FINAL BATTLE. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/7b762f50-4d50-43b5-ae42-43c1cb99aa94

AHHH GOD DAMN IT

On a bright and sunny Tuesday Matt and Trevor came together to review Black Friday Fallout, a very B-ish ROH show. Matt plays impromptu ROH trivia! Chango loves tables! We figure out the alarm cock in real time! Who else is going to spend so much time talking about THIS show?! https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/f2bb5820-a17f-4f71-958d-dd39db9cbabd

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

On the new ThROH The Years, Joe Gagne returns to help us cover Honor Reclaims Boston, a show featuring a main event that got huge buzz at the time in some circles but hasn't been well remembered. More importantly, we talk about chalkboards, growing basil, Eyes Wide Shut and Trevor is pointlessly fake mean to Joe and yet loses in the end. Kubrick would be proud. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/335367d5-74f5-4e25-b946-0a2cd790e656

On this episode of ThROH The Years the dry winter of ROH starts to get to Matt and Trevor, with Irresistible Forces, a card that continues ROH's duldrums.

Root Beer? https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/4ed11302-fff3-44e5-a87b-513341428375

On the new ThROH The Years, we keep on working through our dry winter with SUFFOCATION, a very B B-Show. We talk about a great Homicide promo, a problematic Cornette and Corino one, Dicks, how Matt prepares to get a trophy, why Bryan Danielson is afraid of Ben Gay, and a fan tells Davey Richards to save a life before he ever became an EMT. No other podcast has the guts to cover this show. That's right, I said it. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/f7bc559e-e769-481a-b6df-4e8c152fc5a7

The dry winter of ThROH The Years continues with Motor City Madness 2006, a B-Show that only gets truly memorable with an insane main event. But we have a lot of fun and laughs on this one. Topics include what makes a sandwich, WWF's WrestleMania All Day Long PPV, and Trevor sharing too much about his life yet again. We also talk about the greatness of Bryan Danielson and Mark Briscoe. It's a good fun time with your boys, get on the bus. https://redcircle.com/shows/throh-the-years/ep/81385a6b-52f7-4c77-98e8-cf08c5eb1ca8
