DDT Wrestling

DC and Doc have a lot to catch up on with this episode, covering Survivor Series, Doc's new podcast idea, the future of video games, DC's potential Thanksgiving party foul, and some sort of strange dog videos.

It's a mad, mad, mad, live episode of DDT Wrestling! Join us on the couch as DC Matthews ventures forth to Manson Manor bringing copious amounts of Chinese food in tow. Our story begins just as our heroes are thoroughly incapacitated by the sheer volume of food consumed. And then, Survivor Series is discussed, predictions are made, and Thanksgiving dinner is dissected, analyzed, and reconfigured into a bowl of leftovers and horror.

DC and Doc sat down on Monday to discuss the world of professional wrestling, as they are wont to do. Doc shares some thoughts on HIAC and they chat about 205 Live. They then, as they are also wont to do, forget to post the show for a few days, so ya know. . . Enjoy!

With his partner Doc Manson locked in the Hades of Homeownership, DC trudges on his own to offer his thoughts on Hell in a Cell, RAW, Smackdown and 205 Live. He also makes a book series recommendation. Heel DC takes over a few times, but the Pope of Positivity battles back valiantly!

This week, DC and Doc are too busy eating to start the show proper, which in turn leads to a 20+ minute discussion on GMO's, Nutrition and Gluten Sensitivity. . . No, really, it totally happened. Once back on "track", it's time for Hell in a Cell PreDCtions and PreDOCtions, with some brief stops on the world of wrestling along the way. Then, it's your e-mails!

This week, both DC and Doc have seasonal concoctions to discuss as well as Doc's passion for Halloween decorations, so the wrestling talk doesn't start until well past the 30 minute mark. The guys make up for it by covering whether Chris Jericho is helping or hurting his best friend's title legitimacy, the potential of a Styles and HBK match, the women's "main event" for HIAC and the genius of James Ellsworth. Plus, as always, your emails!

This was a big week for news in the world of professional wrestling. We cover the return of Goldberg to the WWE, the return of Mickie James to NXT, the announcement of the first women's division Hell in a Cell, and the continued collapse of TNA.

This week, the show never quite gets on the rails, as Doc commandeers the show with not one, not two but THREE Shocktober themed concoctions. DC valiantly tries to steer the conversation back to wrestling, covering all the major happenings of the week, but Doc, as usual, continually obstructs, so they wind up discussing Rick Moranis, the Original Six teams of the NHL and the pros and cons of ingesting pepper spray. You've been warned.

DC, having watched No Mercy in the wee hours of the morning, wonders whether Smackdown Live would have been better off with its own November PPV, offering up his version of one. He then tries to Make Survivor Series Great Again by booking a traditional PPV full of elimination tag matches, offering a dream battle of trio stables in the main event.

This week we cover the latest news from the WWE, including Vince McMahon's return to television production, the premier of Total Bellas, the latest from RAW, and SmackDown Live's go home show before No Mercy.

This week, the guys once again debate the merits of forsaking pro wrestling to discuss other topics, primarily being their favorite Halloween candy. They eventually get to No Mercy PreDCtions and PreDOCtions, before discussing all the other news and notes in WWE!

This week, we provide a dramatic reading of Orton: Repercussions of Booking, a meme which appeared on Twitter during SmackDown Live this week. We also cover the fallout from Clash of Champions, RAW, and Smackdown, covering WWE superstars Heath Slater, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, and Nikki Bella.

This week, NerdDC tries to be punk, Doc and DC eat some seasonal concoctions (even if one tries to channel Girl Scout Season), then they delve into the major events of RAW and Smackdown this week. What did Doc think of Clash of Champions? Will Dolph Ziggler win the IC title? Has DC recovered from the lack of Bo Dallas? The guys also debate the possible futures of TNA and wonder whether or not female wrestling can ever truly main event a WWE PPV. Plus, of course, your e-mails!

Less than 24 hours after Clash of Champions, DC sits down and ponders aloud the possibilities for all the talent involved in RAW's first individual PPV offering. What makes the most sense for next month's HIAC? Could we ever see a woman's match inside a Cell? Does Sami Zayn belong in the Cruiserweight Division? Is Rusev ready for the main event? What exactly is lasagna soup? All of this and more is answered when DC goes By The Book!

After a styles-ish intro by Nerd DC, the Pope of Positivity tries to figure out the many roads to Wrestlemania that are possible with AJ Styles as the Smackdown World Champion. How does John Cena factor into all of this? Could Samoa Joe play a role? All this and more as DC goes #ByTheBook!

Doc Manson is your host and this is the fake wrestling news.

Hot off the success of Doc Manson's first solo podcast (also available on your friendly DDT Wrestling feed), the guys discuss the sweet science Doc used to break down RAW and Smackdown Live.

During the first episode of Smackdown Live, which featured the WWE Brand Extension Draft, Doc and DC sat down with their wives and their long-time friend, GQ, to watch the show. They thought it would be a good idea to record their comments and feedback for posterity. This is the unfortunate result of that really bad decision.

Hot off the heels of the rules of the WWE Draft (and a brand new theme song), DC tries to read between the lines, making #PreDCtions and doing a bit of fantasy booking for both the main and NXT rosters. He also spends more time than necessary talking about the movie Hook.

This week, DC and Doc make their PreDCtions and PreDOCtions for Money In The Bank.

However, he also makes Doc watch that Hardy TNA video live on the show. Plus, as always, your e-mails and iTunes reviews!

DC is back at his fantasy booking ways, offering up his idea of a Women's MITB match, finding a way for Tyler Breeze and Fandango to win the tag titles and making Survivor Series a Big 4 PPV again by focusing on the idea of survival. He also accidentally creates a wrestler named Sami Owens.
