In this giant installment of the Wrestling House Show the crew discusses a less than riveting week of wrestling bringing to light analysis, ideas and thoughts that those of a lesser intellect can't seem to illuminate. They discuss the step backward Jericho took in his promos, who he should REALLY be facing at Wrestlemania and the weeks leading up to it, the whereabouts of Sim Snuka while his father was getting assaulted, Rany Orton being easily influenced (and wearing pants), who should have the WWE Title going into Wrestlemania and what they think of the participants currently announced for Money In The Bank. They also discuss how WWE seems to retrain their wrestlers and why that's not a good thing, chris's reaction to Kelly Kelly and Maryse together in the same segment, ideas to make WWE Fan Axcess more entertaining, and Kane ending The Boogeyman. They move on to TNA and talk about Jay Lethal channeling The Nature Boy, Matt Morgan versus a baby, Hernandez (and his mustache) still carrying the briefcase he lost, who Beer Money will retire next, read some listener email where they get answers to questions about PPV in the UK, more Gladiators wrestling, and revisit a subject from a few months ago that chris and Michael disagreed about. All this plus your favorite weekly segments and a mini (retro) spotlight on Beulah McGillicutty!

In this penetrating installment of the Wrestling House Show, The Parts Unknown Crew uses their cutting wit and finely honed mental acumen to bring the past week of wrestling into sharp focus. They take a stab at the walking merch booth that is John Cena, the first of the Money in the Bank qualifiers, wanting Santino Marella to get serious, The Undertaker's boring story line, Ricky Steamboat's fantastic return to television, a clue as to who Jericho may face at Wrestlemania (sort of), Matt Stryker's Obscure Reference of the Week, and the best match of the year so far! They also pierce the topics of three men versus two hammers, the Hardy feud being put on the back burner, the pointless heel turn of Madison Rayne, Mick Foley reminiscing about the WWE, how TNA's heel factions are too powerful for their own good, Rhaka Khan and the worst move ever in professional wrestling, the releases of Lance Hoyt and Sonjay Dutt, and of course Samoa Joe with a knife. All this and more!

This week the crew recaps No Way Out and discusses what, if any, ramifications will be felt throughout the WWE. They talk about Edge being the new World Heavyweight Champion of the World, Kofi Kingston missing out on the Elimination Chamber and wondering where he puts his money, the "emancipation" of Shawn Michaels and how it seems rather pointless, chris convincing Michael that John Cena cut a good promo this past week, who Chris Jericho should be facing at Wrestlemania (and who he shouldn't), and who will and who should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. They also discuss the releases of Petey Williams and Scotty Goldman, wonder how Matt Hardy can possibly betray Jeff again, point out that Roxxi is a bad influence on Taylor Wilde, and explain how the TNA Frontline doesn't even exist anymore and never had any real effect anyway. All this plus much, much more!

The Parts Unknown Crew has a lot to be happy about this week after watching the best episode of ECW in recent memory! They get excited about Christian's return to WWE, the debut of Tyson Kidd and the rest of the amazing talent being assembled on ECW including the returning Evan Bourne! They also discuss a myriad of other topics from the week including the possibility of Flair coming out of retirement for his angle with Jericho and Mickey Rourke, why Bob Backlund finally getting a DVD isn't as exciting as it should be, the message The Bella Twins are sending to little girls, Triple H's dumb new shirt and what they'd rather buy instead, Mick Foley's Hardcore History 101, Sojourner Bolt being the number one contender to Kong, Kevin Nash's love of mafia movies, Scott Steiner's amazing comments on Impact and lots, lots more!

With two weeks of television and the Royal Rumble to catch up on, the Parts Unknown Crew crams three episodes worth of content into one jam packed show where a meandering stream of consciousness creates a beautiful mess. The crew discusses how they called Matt Hardy's heel turn months ago (sort of), why Melina should not have beaten Beth, the highs and lows of the Royal Rumble, what WWE should be doing with HBK/JBL, winning friends by beating them senseless, Mike's idea for the greatest yet most pointless faction ever, how My Network TV spoiled the main event for Smackdown, The Great Muta on TNA, Shane McMahon and Randy Orton, the differences between Japanese and American pro wrestling philosophies, the Main Event Mafia taking over Impact and why Joey and chris don't see eye to eye, and shine a spotlight on Brutus Magnus. They also answer some reader mail where chris mentions where to get a hold of some great Japanese and Mexican DVDs, talk about the upcoming Legends of Wrestlemania game and much, much more!

Mere hours before one of the biggest pay per views of the year, the Parts Unknown Crew gets ready for the Royal Rumble by discussing who they would like to see as surprise entrants this year, who they think should win the Rumble and who probably will win it. They also remark on the past week of wrestling television by talking about a TNA Impact filled with gimmick matches that don't really mean anything, what Kurt Angle said that marks the beginning of the end for the Main Event Mafia, and ponder whether Sting will get a Flair-like sendoff when he retires. They also declare Big Show as the cure for insomnia, explain why Melina isn't ready to regain the Women's Title, wonder why tag team title matches don't mean much at Wrestlemania anymore, weigh in on Jericho's apology and Orton's kick, hope Sim Snuka and Manu aren't forgotten, wonder about Boogeyman's personal hygiene and are baffled at how Shelton Benjamin apparently forgot all of his training when fighting The Undertaker. All this plus radio drama with Maryse, Kozlov and Finlay!
