This ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor talk brownies, physical media, and Gorilla Monsoon. Oh, and we also cover United We Stand, a solid B-Show with some very good matches and one that annoyed Matt. And Matt usually doesn't get annoyed! Also, can you hear Karma Chameleon during the show? Because sadly, I didn't.
On a special MONDAY NIGHT THROH THE YEARS we cover Domination, a show with a hole in it. We tell you all about the hole, but also continue a previous show's love fest, watch some top-notch tag teaming, and see Davey Richards detect dandruff. This episode is lean but not particularly mean!
It's time for ThROH The Years to review one of the better B-Shows they've seen in some time, A Fight At The Roxbury. We swoon over Kevin Steen, a new version of Danielson emerges, and we praise a building that has both pizza and air conditioning! A fun night with your boys. Or day, I don't know when you listen.
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!
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.
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.
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!
On the latest ThROH The Years we talk about Fighting Spirit, the show, not the concept. The Briscoes/Steenerico feud continues, we find a great hidden gem match, and Morishima takes on Nigel for the first time. All this plus boner time machines and we re-book the Carnage Crew crapping in bags.
We're back to the B-Shows! On the new ThROH The Years we take on This Means War II!

This is an episode all about the bass, minus the b.
WrestleMania season is here and we're covering the Mania weekend ROH show Supercard of Honor 2. We explain how it's a legit sequel of sorts and talk about Jimmy Jacobs and BJ Whitmer ending their feud in an unreal cage match, the Dragon Gate boys attempting to top themselves, and go down memory lane with Jonny Fairplay. All that and we talk about modern MTV programming, it's another great ThROH The Years!
On the new ThROH The Years: We cover the big 2007 WrestleMania weekend show All Star Extravaganza III! We talk about a great match that we kind of forgot was great, the scariest injury we've seen doing the show, cough medicine, Christopher Daniels' pubes and a lot more. A good one!
On a bittersweet ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor say farewell to Samoa Joe when they review Fifth Year Festival: Finale. One of our favorite shows we've watched, with so many top level matches. We then sum up Joe's ROH career. All this and the boys discover we have two jaw bones. Did you know that? We didn't.
ThROH The Years bursts into 2025 to cover The Fifth Year Festival: Liverpool.

All this and Trevor gets puzzled by a new ROH mystery. Happy New Year!
On a Holiday Season ThROH The Years, the guys gift you with some special deja vu pizza talk before getting into The Fifth Year Festival: Chicago. It's a show with whistles, one of the bloodiest brawls in ROH history, one of the emotional moments in the first five years of the promotion. Matt and Trevor remember times they've bled and pies they've ate and a good time is had by all. There is no need for the Tear Police to be called in, you'll be all smiles this episode.
On the new ThROH The Years, Matt and Trevor have plenty to be thankful for. We cover the Fifth Year Festival: Dayton show, featuring one of the most brutal kicks we've ever seen, a strange and warm embrace, a guitar being de-strung, a career night for a plucky underdog, and so much more. Sit down at the table, it's time to eat.
It's time for a ThROH The Years special event! We bring you a dragon-sized career retrospective of ROH alumni Bryan Danielson. Many past ThROH The Years guests return to share their thoughts and we run down Bryan's entire career, before ending with a return of the classic podcast, List 'Em and Learn, as Matt and Trevor give their own top ten lists of favorite Danielson matches ever. A Final Countdown if you will.
Whoa, a lot happens on this episode. We review the Fifth Year Festival: Philly, a show with a very significant main event, a match that changes the lives of Kevin Steen and El Generico, two horrific injuries and one heck of a hat and jacket combo. We fill the rest with old TV references and end by announcing a special new episode. This ain't Seinfeld, but you'll love it just as much.

We talk about the ROH in-ring debut of Takeshi Morishima and where he stood in the business at this point. Austin Aries almost dies twice and Jimmy Rave and Homicide have a hidden gem career highlight that we demand you watch. All that and talk about seasonal PPVs and a PSA to seek help. This is one of the big fancy eps, if you miss it Matt will be saying NOOOOOO.
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. Strange booking choices, violent gimmick matches, and a main event for the ages. Take your Gravol and settle in.
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.
