Solomonster Sounds Off

It's a Superbowl-sized Sound Off this week with thoughts on the Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar's return and new contract, the greatness of Paul Heyman, Cena's burial of the World title, breaking up the Rhodes Scholars, Undertaker's status for WrestleMania and TWO alternate scenarios for CM Punk, Bret Hart's absurd comments about Triple H, TNA taking Impact on the road full-time, Seth Rollins as the weak link in The Shield, and what would have happened in Montreal had Bret faced Taker instead of HBK in 1997?Download Standard Podcasts

Solomonster is back with Royal Rumble predictions, praise for CM Punk and The Rock, no such praise for John Cena, Ric Flair's dumb decision, thoughts on Taz's first night as Aces and Eights' mouthpiece, Jake Roberts raises money for shoulder surgery, 8-year olds revolting against WWE, the greatest Rumble returns,TNA names that WWE would be most likely to push, Carmella and the 2004 Diva Search, why RVD can travel to the UK and Jeff Hardy cannot, and more.Download Standard Podcasts

Solomonster rather enjoyed the wedding angle on Impact and has praise for the show.  Unfortunately, TNA squandered that goodwill by screwing over their UK fans and so they get an equal amount of scorn this week.  We'll talk what the company should do, at the very least, to make up for their lack of class, plus talk about Raw's 20th anniversary, the absurdity of Super Cena, Eve's WWE departure and where that leaves the Divas division, using Ric Flair to endorse The Miz, why Bobby Heenan hates Tony Schiavone, and a blunt answer on why some fans hate on indy wrestling.Download Standard Podcast

Solomonster is back with a gigantic show covering all of this week's major events, including Rock and CM Punk's first confrontation, Alberto Del Rio winning the World title and how this may affect WrestleMania plans, Mick Foley announced for the Hall of Fame and addressing the "glorified stuntman" tag, El Generico heading to WWE, what his signing says about Colt Cabana remaining a free agent, a rant on "Super Schmuck" Billy Graham and his latest tirade on CM Punk, TNA announces a new PPV structure for 2013, Bully Ray pops the question to Brooke Hogan, addressing what really ended the career of Nigel McGuinness, and should there be a WCW Monday Nitro one-night reunion?  Two hours this week and well worth your time.Download Standard Podcast

Last week, Solomonster said that if Antonio Cesaro could get Great Khali up for the Neutralizer on Main Event that he would record the Sound Off in a Swiss accent.  Well, that Cesaro is one strong SOB.  I'm also a man of my word, so I apologize in advance to anyone with a Swiss accent for butchering their native tongue.  This week, we'll talk about one idea for the Rock/Punk match that hasn't really been mentioned yet, WWE stealing ideas from TNA, the atrocious Mae Young skits from Raw, praise for the Knockouts match on Impact, Sting's unbelievably LAME comeback on Thursday, the status of Shelton Benjamin and WWE, and will CM Punk ever be as big of a star as John Cena?Download Standard Podcast

It's a special TWO HOUR Year in Review edition of the Sound Off, looking back at some of the best (and worst) of WWE and TNA in 2012.  Plus, predictions for 2013, including a bold statement about the future of the Divas division in WWE and the three names from NXT to watch for.Download Standard Podcast

Solomonster is back with live thoughts from WWE's recent stop at MSG, including the New Age Outlaws, Tensai singing holiday tunes, and John Cena rally monkeys (oh yes).  Plus, thoughts on a very polarizing Christmas Eve edition of Raw, a "Bro Off" on Impact, the final word on why Aces and Eights is such a failure, what TNA needs to do to make it to the next level, and the greatest wrestlers to never be World champion.  The first of TWO new shows this week, so have a Happy New Year!Download Standard Podcast

Solomonster is full of holiday cheer with a 90-minute Christmas edition of the Sound Off!  After watching a ridiculous amount of wrestling this week (much of which was quite good), he has live thoughts from the TLC PPV in Brooklyn with a candidate for MOTY and why the show felt like a changing of the guard, unbearable hype for the WWE app, Ric Flair's return on Raw, why the Slammies need to die, defending Tensai as a comedy figure, Great Khali's new Twitter and an idea for a new Fan Axxess attraction, Hulk Hogan wanting the TNA World title, booking Jack Swagger's return, defining each of WWE's eras over the years, and what's the most disappointing PPV in recent memory?  A packed show, so hit the eggnog and turn up the volume.  Happy holidays!!Download Standard Podcast

Solomonster celebrates 250 episodes by trying to prove he can karaoke better than Big Show (and fails miserably in the process).  It's all uphill from there as he gives his thoughts on the importance of finishers in wrestling, TLC PPV predictions, CODY's MOUSTACHE, Miz getting very non-PG on Raw, the Slammy Awards and what should win Match of the Year, possible turns for Orton and Del Rio, Macho Man HOF update, an irritating episode of Impact, the difference between pro wrestling and spot fests, and has the time come for Kurt Angle to retire?Download Standard Podcast

Much to cover in this week's 90-minute Sound Off, including the latest on CM Punk's knee injury and a new main event for the TLC PPV, Raw does its lowest audience in 15 years, looking back at some of Kane's greatest matches, why the Brad Maddox stuff makes no sense, predictions for TNA's Final Resolution, will the Hardys return to WWE in 2013, remembering Umaga, Brian Pillman as World champion, and Solomonster has a request for Jim Ross after comments made in his most recent blog.  A big show, so enjoy!Download Standard Podcast

Solomonster rants on Black Friday, praises Austin Aries and a fun edition of Impact, talks about the debuts of Ambrose/Rollins/Reigns and why they are the future, other NXT names possibly being promoted, a disturbing trend in WWE and the reason why Raw often feels like Groundhog Day, potential choices for Royal Rumble winner, the WrestleMania "bus" controversy, Vince McMahon's old Playboy interview, and who do you think is the better role model - Rock or Cena?  Someone get Heyman his balloons!Download Standard Podcast

Solomonster has predictions for Survivor Series, thoughts on the controversial Jerry Lawler heart attack angle from Monday night that might surprise you, a sobering dose of reality for WWE fans who were offended by it, news on Summerslam coming to Wales, giving Fandango a chance, a rant on TNA's booking of James Storm (what a loser), hearing Jeff Hardy's mind monologues on Impact, explaining why Owen Hart would not have been World champion, and which WWF star would have been tapped as the top babyface if Hulk Hogan never existed?Download Standard Podcasts

This week, the Sound Off celebrates FIVE YEARS with Linda McMahon's election defeat, WWE changes the Survivor Series main event, where this leaves Mick Foley, Miz quits Team Punk, Ryback and Brad Maddox in OVW, JBL signs a new deal to stay on Smackdown, TNA Turning Point rundown, Scott Steiner's latest lawsuit against TNA and accusations against Jeff Hardy, why it sounds so scummy, lots of praise for Bully Ray, and Barrett vs. Regal at WrestleMania?  You know this show is special when you put Marty Jannetty's words to the tune of Tyga's "Rack City".  Thanks for a fantastic five years!!!Download Standard Podcast
