Podcast: Roadshow Remembers Scott Hall (1958-2022)
It’s been a sad week for the friends, family of fans of Scott Hall who passed away on March 14. In lieu of the news, we decided to take some time out to talk about the Bad Guy.
“I’m sorry. I love you” (WWE, March 30, 2008)
“I’m sorry, I love you”. The metaphorical gun was cocked, the trigger pulled. An old dog, finally able to find peace. The gun – a super kick. The shooter – Shawn Michaels. And the old dog – one of the greatest careers in the history of professional wrestling, that of Ric Flair. It cannot be overstated how important Ric Flair […]
Roadtrip Music: The Legend of Chavo Guerrero by The Mountain Goats
This series isn’t just songs used in wrestling, it’s also songs about wrestling. This morning I woke up to the news Shane Warne had died. Given this is a wrestling site, that name may not mean a huge amount to some, but Warne is an all-time great cricketer that I grew up watching. As our commentary episode of the podcast […]
Roadtrip Music: Rain Maker (2014~EDIT) by Yonosuke Kitamura (Kazuchika Okada)
For those that wonder how I make the choice of which song to use for the week, don’t. There’s very little rhyme or reason to it other than not wanting to stick on one topic/genre for too long. Sometimes something news worthy happens (Kairi Hojo), or I tie it in to something currently happening (KENTA). Sometimes it’s birthdays (Maki Itoh) […]
The World Famous Korakuen Hall
“間も無く水道橋駅 到着します”, the announcement comes over the speakers. You think you understood, but you’re uncertain. You heard some other stuff but that stood out. “The next station is Suidobashi”, the voice repeats in a more familiar language. You prepare yourself and eye a waypoint to the door through the packed train. You’re concerned about being able to make it to […]

Roadtrip Music: Last Voyage by kuritaka (Kairi Hojo)
The Pirate Princess has returned home! In light of this weekend’s news that Kairi Hojo (Kairi Sane to you WWE people) has returned to World Wonder Ring Stardom, I thought it only fitting to take a look at the theme she used before setting off to sail the world back in 2017. Born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Kairi grew up as […]
Podcast: WWF St. Valentine’s Day Massacre 1999 (February 14, 1999)
You won’t be lonely this Valentine’s Day, when you spend it with The Wrestling Roadshow! We travel back to 1999 and one of the final In Your House events, the first and only WWF St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. It’s peak Attitude Era with The Rock vs. Mankind and Austin vs. McMahon in a cage! Send us a Valentine’s Day card […]
Roadtrip Music: Hammer Man by Jimmy Hart & J.J. Maguire (Greg Valentine)
This week in the stereo on the roadtrip we’ve got Hammer Man on. Why? Because Monday is Greg Valentine’s Day of course! After many years, this was released in 2015 on the WWE: The Federation Era album. Some may say I’m posting this one a little early given that Valentine’s Day isn’t until Monday. This is your reminder that it’s […]
Roadtrip Music: Los Boricuas
Usually Mr. Chris Man handles the Roadtrip Music posts on the website, but I wanted to show I’m just as hip and happening with what the young people are rapping to on the streets. So, I give you a personal favourite WWF theme from the Attitude era, Los Boricuas. I’m uncertain as to the actual name of the theme, but […]
