The DTRT Wrestling Timeline To Wrestlemania XXX

Two weeks from tonight and it will be Wrestlemania XXX and DTRTWrestling.com is going into full-court press mode from now until Mania is in the books for another year. Yes that’s a March Madness reference right here in the middle of talking about The Super Bowl of Professional Wrestling (or Sports Entertainment for those who aren’t old school and prefer to toe the “company” line).

Here is how we plan to show that we are up to the task of taking this site to the next level and being the organization where you can get print coverage, right here on the flagship of the DTRTWrestling.com brand AND online radio coverage at DTRTWrestling.com Radio on Blog Talk Radio.

The following will take place on the radio portion of our organization. You can listen to these shows live or in archive immediately following the live broadcast.

Raw Post-Show – Monday 3/24 at 11:30 eastern; 10:30 central; and 8:30 pacific. A quick 30 minute recap of tomorrow’s Raw.

Raw Post-Show – Monday 3/31 at 11:30 eastern; 10:30 central; and 8:30 pacific. A longer recap as we take a look at the final Raw before Mania. Should be plenty on the agenda that night.

SmackDown Live Coverage – Friday April 4th at 8 eastern; 7 central; and 5 pacific. We will be doing a radio version of live blogging/tweeting for the very first time. Being the last show prior to the 30th anniversary of Wrestlemania, no telling what will happen, and yes we will carry it live (well, live when it’s broadcast).

WWE Hall of Fame Coverage – Live; Saturday April 5th beginnig at 9 eastern; 8 central; and 6 pacific.

Wrestlemania XXX Pre-Show – Sunday April 6th. That is right, we are going right up against The WWE Network and their pre-show. Why you might ask, well as many of you know – not everyone is paying the $9.95 a month and getting the awesome programming, so we want to provide an alternative, and that’s what we will do.

Finally a quick look at the DTRTWrestling.com staff and the different things you can expect from each of us.

John Bass – John does an awesome job with the Raw preview and recap each week. He has also been on top of many announcements and breaking news.

Ed’s Perspective: Ironman Rob Conway – One Class Act!

Rob Conway Talks HPW, Jerry Wilson, and What It Takes To Make It In The Wrestling Business

IMG_3265

Earlier this month, Ironman Rob Conway appeared at the March Hoosier Pro Wrestling (HPW) event in Columbus, Indiana and once again showed what a class act he is as a professional wrestler. The audio clip above will help let you know just what kind of person he is.

I always appreciate when someone of his stature will take the time to sit down with me and share from their heart about the business that so many of us enjoy. Rob Conway has appeared at Wrestlemania, and here he was setting  in the locker room taking Indy Wrestling with me.

Notice in the audio, the kind words and admiration that the Ironman has for HPW promoter, Jerry Wilson. Indy promoters should listen to what Conway has to say about what has make Jerry Wilson and thus HPW, the success that has been for the past 16 years.

Conway also shares with young and upcoming wrestlers how to make it in the business and not to give up. He even uses WWE Superstar Hornswoggle, as an example of someone who people would have never given a chance at being a WWE Superstar.

Be watching for video of the Ironman Rob Conway performing in HPW in the days to come.

DTRTwrestling.com Staff React To The #YESMovement Segment On WWE Raw In Tweets

DTRTwrestling.com co-founder Ed Boston and contributor Vanessa V were more then happy to see Daniel Bryan get the spotlight on Raw last night. After months of WWE fans voicing their disapproval of the direction Bryan was going creatively it now seams the WWE is now moving in the right direction heading into Wrestlemania 30. Here are a few tweets from Ed and Vanessa sent out as events unfolded during Raw last night.

For what it’s worth – Jim Ross among others have been saying for weeks that they didn’t believe that the main event was finalized. JR had the feeling that WWE was just riding out the heat to generate even a bigger push for Bryan heading into mania. Saying in a recent podcast that he enjoyed a “slow burn” when it came to building up a storyline. One thing is for sure, the fans did indeed have a say in this outcome.
