In this episode, our boys take a look outside of the squared circle and take a deep dive into Films and television starring Professional wrestlers. We go over blockbusters, Emmy worthy tv shows, and we even begin in Adam from BOBL to help us out with some deep cuts.

This week we discuss WWE's killing of ECW. We talk about how and why it failed and just a few ideas on how they could have breathed some life into a show they put on life support.

To this day losing WCW and ECW still hurts.

As always, support local wrestling!

This week on Running the Ropes we talk about the One and Only Chris Kanyon. Who Betta than Kanyon. We discuss match highlights, the undertaker, and a tragic life cut way too short. At 40 years old Kanyon was found dead and while his legacy moves on through the wrestlers he inspired, we will never have another man like Chris Kanyon.

In this episode, or hosts: Jerry, Tim, and Andrew discuss some of our biggest missed opportunities in wrestling. What starts as a light romp in Kizarny and Ready 2 rumble culminates into a passionate discussion about The Nexus, The invasion, Sean o Haire, and Jake the Snake. Why were these stories abandoned or why didn't the companies hired these men, seize money off the back of their talent.

Tune in next time for the Life and Career of Chris Kanyon.

Three friends — Jerry, Tim and Andrew — break down a chaotic week in wrestling: AEW’s controversial Darby Allin title win, surprise moments with Sting, and long-term storytelling questions. They also riff about WWE 2K26 GM shenanigans (including a New Jack–Mustafa tag team), the growing buzz around JCW and Vince Russo, and odd celebrity appearances leading into WrestleMania.

The hosts run through detailed WrestleMania predictions (from the Usos/L.A. Knight vs. Logan Paul/IShowSpeed cluster to Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu, Seth Rollins vs. Gunther, ladder chaos, and Brock Lesnar vs. Obafemi), argue over booking decisions, and pick favorites for several title matches. They debate heels, babyfaces, and whether big moments are being wasted or earned.

Along the way they trade blunt opinions, nostalgia-driven takes on WCW/WWF history, and hot takes about gimmicks, Hall of Fame choices, and missed opportunities in wrestling storylines — all with the rough, unfiltered humor of a late-night fan chat.
