CRA 392 - The First Episode Means Nothing

It's finally upon us. All of the "October" events that we've been waiting for finally arrive, and we break down what is undoubtably the biggest wrestling week this year. What was good, what was bad, and who won the Wednesday Night Wars.

Classy Ring Attire 385 - AEW Moves Forward While WWE Focuses on the Other Direction

Will AEW being branded as the new, better version of wrestling, WWE somehow thought the best way to combat that was to focus on a whole bunch of wrestlers who don't wrestle anymore.

Classy Ring Attire 373 - The Mania Weekend Marathon of 2019

It's been over fifteen hours of wrestling content since the last podcast. With WrestleMania being longer than it has ever been before, we have to discuss what appears to be the new normal for WrestleMania runtimes. But despite the long running show, the event had several highlights including Kofi and Becky's fantastic championship matches

Classy Ring Attire 372 - Last Stop on the Road and Last Week Tonight

Will all the WrestleMania breakdown that we have to deal with this week, we had even more to talk about with John Oliver's Last Week Tonight providing a mainstream deep dive into how WWE treats it's wrestlers as employees. 

Classy Ring Attire 371 - More Gauntlets

After the fantastic display that was Kofi Kingston's gauntlet match on Smackdown, we get the sequel featuring the other members of the New Day in a tag team gauntlet match of their own

Classy Ring Attire 367 - Reigns Returns

In all the terrible news that exists in the world, we finally get one truly good moment of news, when we learn that Roman Reigns is in remission. And more than that, it looks like he might be all the way back. 

In storyline news, Vince enjoyed interfering in the championship match so much on Raw, that he decided to do it again on Smackdown with the WWE Championship match. 

Classy Ring Attire 366 - This is Kofi's Chamber

At Elimination Chamber we may have seen the start of the next big moment in fans getting 100% behind a superstar. Kofi and Daniel Bryan steal the show in a way that has WrestleMania written all over it. All that and some other matches were on the card as well.  

Classy Ring Attire 365 - Countdown to the Chamber

The Elimination Chamber is this week, but both Raw and Smackdown were pretty active for "go home" shows. 

Raw had Becky getting suspended for 60 days and Charlotte being introduced to the feud, and Smackdown had Kofi. 

Classy Ring Attire 174 - The Return of Kue (And MitB chit chat)

In our final week of missing our dear friend Joel, Kue steps in to fill the void that never really could be filled. MitB picks are made, and long music related tangents are had as well.

Classy Ring Attire - Divas Go for the Pipe Bomb

As we drift further from the SummerSlam event of the year, the eternal question is asked, "Where do we go from here?"

Classy Ring Attire - MiTB Announcements and the Rest of Raw

In what might be the most unexpected thing to happen all year, we come of of a great episode of Raw, to see another, pretty good episode of Raw. I don't know who's in the writer's room there, these days, but I hope it's a while before they get fired.

Classy Ring Attire - Killing Time Till WrestleMania

As we draw closer and closer to the big day, we also draw closer and closer to running out of things to talk about. So any side conversation (like the one about Inspector Gadget) will inevitably take up more time than it should in a wrestling podcast. But never fear, there is discussion about Cena and Rock's chat at the end of Raw this week, and discussion of Kofi turning heel rumors among plenty of other wrestling chit chat.

Classy Ring Attire: The Written Word Version (Survivor Series)

I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving week, like we mentioned in last week's podcast, we will have a podcast for everyone this week but alas it was pre-recorded seeing as how we knew everyone would be going their separate ways for the holiday. We also mentioned that there will be a post sharing our thoughts about Survivor Series. Well, this is that post and by "our" I mean "mine." So let's get to it, yes?

I didn't watch the pre-show shenanigans, did I miss anything other than Matt Striker's impressive 'stache?

Bonus Elimination Tag Team Match: Brodus Clay, Tyson Kidd, Justin Gabriel & Masked Failure vs. Primo, Epico, Tensai and Prime Time Players

I dug this match, mostly because I enjoy traditional Survivor Series matches and less because of who's in it (usually). That being said, it's weird to say that I like this match when the only thing that really stuck with me days later is how Tensai sandbagged Brodus. I will say that it's interesting that the two big guys were the first to be eliminated. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that WWE intentionally did that to make up for always favoring the big guys almost always. I'm not saying that because they would need to do a lot more to accomplish that, honestly I just find it...interesting.

Diva's Championship Match: Eve(c) vs Kaitlyn('s Boobs)
I liked a Diva match? I believe this would have been the right time to put the belt on Kaitlyn but who are we kidding? It's the Diva's division so her spot on the championship rotation will come up in a month or so. That being said, I really dug Kaitlyn's new ring attire as well as the gut buster finisher.

US Championship Match: Antonio Cesaro(c) vs R-Hooch
I promise I won't go on another rant about how badly Cesaro needs a new gimmick and I promise I won't remind everyone about how Truth needs to go back to heel. I just won't do neither of those things because we've talked about it for so long and I just can't do that to my audience right now. You all deserve better, much like we deserve Cesaro with a new gimmick and having R-Heel, but I'm not gonna mention those things.

It seems taboo to be complaining about a segment that leads to AJ being on my TV but we really didn't need scandal update. The only real purpose that it served was to bring out Tamina. There are better ways, friends, so much better.

World Heavyweight Championship Match: Big Show(c) vs Sheamus
Once again, a decent match between these two. The recent trend for rivalry matches is that the 2nd PPV match is more of a story-telling match and this is no exception. The story that was suppose to be delivered was that it takes a lot of put Sheamus. Not a very original message seeing as how that was beat over our heads during the Del Rio program. The chaotic ending was to make it feel like the match was incomplete and will carry on towards TLC so maybe that's when we will see everything fall apart.

Survivor Series Elimination Match: Dolph Ziggler, Damien Sandow, David Otunga, Wade Barrett, Alberto Del Rio vs Team Friendship, Randy Orton, The Miz, Kofi Kingston
How fun was this match? I believe Joel and myself both agree that this match may end up in our list of top matches for the year. It seemed like every person in the match had their own moment were they elevated the match for a time before essentially handing it off to the next guy. I actually like Del Rio in this match, he had some high moments and actually put a big effort into carrying the match at the right times. Also, who would've guessed  Ziggler cleanly pinning Orton in for the final pin? Great signs for what is in the future of Ziggler and just maybe we will finally see him cash the briefcase in soon.

Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship: CM Punk(c) vs John Cena vs Ryback:

This match had some pretty cool moments in it like Cena actually squaring off against Ryback and Cena and Punk briefly joining forces to try to take Ryback out. Sure, we would've always liked to see Punk win cleanly but then we wouldn't have Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and the other guy so I'm gonna let this slide.

Well does it for me, hope everybody is enjoying their Thanksgiving. Look out for our special podcast for this week and we will be back with our regular-scheduled Classy Ring Attire next week.

Host Chris

Classy Ring Attire: From the Cell to WrestleMania

So Ryback is up for number one contender. And what does that mean. For those of us who know the future (and in this case that's all of us) we know that the Rock is coming back in January. And we question what that means. What that means for Ryback. What it means for Punk. We also take a look at the title scene. As in all of them. From the hypothetical internet champion, through US and Intercontinental, all the way up to WWE Champion. Joel also pines for a return of the hardcore championship.

Classy Ring Attire: It's Question and Answer Time

Oh the things we question. Like Ryback? What up with that? What type of heel faction works the best? What feud doesn't exist that should exist? A whole plethora of things is covered. Including TNA this time. We mention TNA.
