Old Man Joey is still missing, so it's down to The Real Deal Simon Prior and The Fallen Angel to hold the fort for another week on The Iron Man Show - the wrestling podcast for fans, by fans.

While Joey remains at the mercy of The Iron Sheik (perhaps), the Deal and the Angel discuss the forthcoming brand split. Who will go to which show? How should the title belts be divided? Should there be a heavyweights/cruiserweights split between Raw and Smackdown?

There's a surprising amount to get through, so buckle in and enjoy the ride. So to speak.

Episode 10 of the Iron Man Show wrestling podcast is here and we're doing something slightly different for a change this week.

Yes, rather than the standard format we've mixed things up a little by doing a commentary on the very first Elimination Chamber match, which was first broadcast at WWE Survivor Series 2002. This may or may not be thanks to Old Man Joey's absence. If you didn't listen last week, Joey was kidnapped by the Iron Sheik. Keep tuning in as this story progresses.

If you've never watched it before (or an Elimination Chamber match), it features six wrestlers, four of which are placed in a see through pod at the start of the match. At regular intervals thereafter one of those four is "randomly" released from the pod and enter the match. This goes on until all six men have entered the ring and, via elimination, only one remains. The wrestlers in the match were as follows:

Triple H Shawn Michaels Booker T Chris Jericho Rob Van Dam Kane

There were a few important storylines going in and coming out of this match, and set up a number of different feuds over the next few months.

If you have the WWE Network and you want to listen along to us as we watch the match, load up Survivor Series 2002 and navigate to the last white timeline marker in the show. Then wait for Simon's countdown and... away you go!

Join us for episode 09 of the Iron Man Show wrestling podcast, which is a King of the Ring special. The Real Deal Simon Prior, The Fallen Angel and Old Man Joey talked about the following:

• Botch to Broadway - King of the Ring 1995

The main feature of the show, we went back and watched the tournament PPV from 1995. Mabel won King of the Ring, which tells you all you need to know about the tournament that year.

• Billy Gunn - Best 5 matches

Simon's task was to compile a list of Billy Gunn's best matches. Having been a big fan of his run in the late 90s and early 00's, would Simon be able to pick out any gems, or would he have a retrospective change of heart?

• Mabel - 5 Best matches

It gets worse for The Fallen Angel, who has to pick out 5 good Mabel matches. Yeah. That went well.

• Top 5 non-KOTR tournament matches at KOTR

The Fallen Angel has put together a brief list of the best non-tournament matches at the King of the Ring event. Is your favourite included? Have a listen to find.

• Worst KOTR match in history (non-tournament)

Briefly, we take a look at the worst non-tournament match featured at a King of the Ring event.

• Best KOTR winner of all time

Who is the best of the best? The list of impressive winners isn't all that great to be honest, but we gave it our best.

• Overrated or Underrated - Owen Hart

Owen won the tournament in 1994, a year after his brother Bret Hart won the opening tournament. Aside from his King of the Ring victory, was Owen Hart overrated or underrated?

• Main Event Jobber - Hulk Hogan VS Yokozuna 1993

Finally, we look at Hulk Hogan taking on Yokozuna in the WWF Title match at the inaugural King of the Ring tournament. Ironically, despite being called Main Event Jobber, this title match took place in the middle of the card. Awful stuff.

Join us for this week's episode of the Iron Man Show wrestling podcast, where The Real Deal Simon Prior, The Fallen Angel and Old Man Joey discussed the following:

• Challenge - 5 good Hacksaw Jim Duggan matches

Joey had to trawl through the WWE Network looking for some of Hacksaw Jim Duggan's best matches. We felt his pain. Not literally, that would be weird.

• Intercontinental Champion - King of the Ring Tournament Part 2

We continue our King of the Ring style tournament bracket to decide who is the best Intercontinental Champion of all time.

• Why WCW Sucked - Part 1 and 2

The Fallen Angel kicks off an occasional feature where we discuss why WCW sucked. This week it's the first two reasons. The size of the ring was a sticking point, coming in at 16'x16' when compared to WWF/WWE's 20'x20' ring. The second point is the WCW wrestling figures. Tune in to find out why.

• Tag Team Turmoil - best tag team member

Of all the tag teams in wrestling history, which one of the pair was the Shawn Michaels and which one was the Marty Jannetty? This feature will dig into our opinions on the subject.

• Camp WWE

In a weird bit of time travel style mumbo jumbo (that is in no way related to us recording episodes in advance) we discuss the promise of Camp WWE based on a viewing of the trailer. If you want to hear our thoughts on the first episode, head on back to Episode 06. Yes, I know, it doesn't make sense.

• Overrated or underrated - Randy Orton

We wrap up with Overrated or Underrated. This week we take a look at the career of Randy Orton.

This week's episode of The Iron Man Show saw The Real Deal Simon Prior, The Fallen Angel and Old Man Joey discuss the following:

• News - Undertaker, NXT new additions

This week's news covers a couple of interesting additions to the NXT roster and the reason why the Undertaker didn't join the company on its recent tour of Europe. It's a legitimate reason, but statistically a little silly. As for the new NXT arrivals? That could prove interesting going forward.

• Main Event Jobber - Wrestlemania 27 Miz VS Cena

Joey and Fallen Angel only had to watch the main event, but as punishment for getting the Botch to Broadway wrong a few weeks back, Simon had to watch the entirety of Wrestlemania 27. To say he was happy about this would be an understatement.

• Announcer King of the Ring part 2

The second part of our King of the Ring tournament for wrestling announcers. We progress through the tournament and have to face some surprisingly tough questions in the bid to find out who, besides JR, is the best commentator of all time.

• Botch to Broadway - Royal Rumble 2003

This week's Botch to Broadway was a viewing of Royal Rumble 2003. Aside from an interesting opener between Brock Lesnar and Big Show (with shades of Lesnar's more recent storylines), other highlights include the Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit title match, and the Royal Rumble main event itself. On the other hand, there's the Torrie Wilson vs Dawn Marie match, and the Scott Steiner vs Triple H World Heavyweight Championship match.

This week’s episode of The Iron Man Show saw The Real Deal Simon Prior, The Fallen Angel and Old Man Joey discuss the following:

• WWE Payback review and analysis

We discussed the most recent PPV event and the first since Wrestlemania 32. Was it bang or a bust? Was it Total Bella or a 6 sided ring? Well, things got off to a shaky start thanks to the inadvertent concussion to Enzo Amore. As for the rest of the show? It had its good and bad moments, we’ll say that much.

• News

In this week’s news we looked at WWE’s release of a number of reasonably high profile members of the roster and, er, a few not so high profile. Amongst those on their way out: Wade Barrett, Hornswoggle, Alex Riley, Cameron, Santino Marella, El Torito, Damian Sandow and Zeb Colter.

• Overrated or Underrated – Wade Barrett

Seeing as he’s likely not to show up on our screens again any time soon (see above in the news), we had to decide whether Wade Barrett is an overrated or underrated superstar. I think it goes without saying, bearing in mind how badly he was booked, which side of the fence we fell on.

• This week’s NXT

Old Man Joey has kept up with goings on in the world of NXT, so he provides an update on this week’s episode. The arrival of Eric Young could shake things up a little in NXT land. It should be interesting to see how he does.

• Camp WWE – Episode 01

So what did we think of the first episode of Camp WWE? Was it a whole lot of “Whooo!” or was it a massive letdown? If a show which portrays Ric Flair having sex with a bear, Vince McMahon as the OTT owner of a summer camp, and Sgt Slaughter as a bringer of destruction, then this might very well be the show for you.

If you’ve downloaded this episode through iTunes – great. Leave us a five star review if you do, that’d be appreciated. Otherwise, you can pick it up through Deezer, Stitcher, or your podcatcher of choice. Simon likes to use Pocket Casts, but there are plenty of others out there.

Episode 05 of the Iron Man Show Wrestling Podcast covered the following topics:

• Challenge – Who will be picked for the 2017 Hall of Fame?

Old Man Joey is challenged with predicting the entrants for the 2017 Hall of Fame. Come back in just under a year to see if he got it right.

• Main Event Jobber – WCW Bunkhouse Stampede 1988

Simon made a mistake by suggesting this main event – he actually meant the Tower of Doom match from Great American Bash 1988. Still, we watched the Bunkhouse Stampede main event which saw Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson, The Barbarian, The Warlord, Tully Blanchard, Ivan Koloff, Lex Luger and Road Warrior Animal competing in a steel cage match.

• King of the Ring Tournament – Best Announcer

A new feature this week. We start a King of the Ring style tournament to determine who is the best ring announcer ever. For obvious reasons Jim Ross (JR) is not included in the tournament. So you could say we’re looking for the second best announcer. The first half of the bracket is covered.

• Botch to Broadway – Spring Stampede 1999

We watched WCW Spring Stampede 1999, supposedly the last of the decent WCW PPV events. We cover every match on the card

• Tag Team War – Ax or Smash (not Crush)

Another new feature. We discuss tag teams from the past and pick which of the two was the better wrestler, or the better entertainer. This week it’s Demolition, the bondage wearing three time tag team champions. Again, for obvious reasons we did not include Crush in this discussion.

• King of the Ring Tournament – Greatest Intercontinental Champion

This is the same sort of thing as the Best Announcer tournament, but for the IC title. This week we cover the first half of the bracket.

The Iron Man Show – Episode 04 saw “The Real Deal” Simon Prior, The Fallen Angel and Old Man Joey cover the following:

• Iron Man Show – Episode 04: Latest Pro Wrestling News

The death of the 9th Wonder of the World Chyna dominated most of our news section this week. We also referenced the death of ECW Original Balls Mahoney. Both were lost before their time

Our news section also, briefly, covered the lawsuit that Rene Dupree had raised against WWE. The lawsuit was promptly dropped after WWE revealed Dupree had signed a contract agreeing that his likeness could be used. That was pretty much it – we didn’t want to give him any more coverage than was absolutely necessary. Can anybody remember exactly what he did, anyway? No, thought not.

• Overrated or Underrated – Rob van Dam

This week’s over or under rated wrestling superstar was Rob van Dam. Was he a bonafide legend in his time? Or was he simply overrated, capable of flexibility and a couple of moves and that’s it. Well, anything is possible in the Iron Man Show!

• Challenge – 5 Best Matches of… The Ultimate Warrior

“The Real Deal” was given a challenge to pick out the Warrior’s five best matches on the WWE Network. Is this as predictable as you might think? Perhaps. Perhaps. Is his 1991 Body Bag match against the Undertaker a worthy entrant? What about his feuds with Macho Man Randy Savage and Ravishing Rick Rude? All possible entries. See, it is quite predictable.

Episode 03 of The Iron Man Show saw us cover the following:

• Overrated or Underrated? – Ken Shamrock

Our first piece this week sees us decide if “The World’s Most Dangerous Man” Ken Shamrock was an overrated or underrated performer back in the Attitude era. He wasn’t a man of many words and rarely cut a promo, but as a legitimate MMA star he was one of the first crossover stars to provide an air of realism to the world of sports entertainment.

• Five Best… Matches – “Double J” Jeff Jarrett

This was always going to be difficult. For starters, Jarrett isn’t known as a great wrestler. Besides his high profile involvement in NWA TNA it’s not easy picking out any specific career highlights. Even so, The Fallen Angel was able to locate five matches on the WWE Network that highlighted Jarrett’s abilities in the ring.

• John Cena Appreciation…?

John Cena is a wrestler who courts controversy amongst fans. Simon missed most of the era where Cena defeated most of the roster so his opinion is coloured by the last 12 months he has been using the WWE Network. As for The Fallen Angel and Old Man Joey? They have their own opinions about The Prototype.

• A Journey Through The WWE Network – 1988 in Review

Simon has been watching through every event from 1988 on the WWE Network. He hasn’t quite finished it yet, but so far he’s taken in WCW’s Bunkhouse Stampede, the first couple of Clash of the Champions events, and of course all of the then-WWF’s PPV’s from that year apart from Survivor Series. Was it a good year? Yes and no. The differences between WCW and WWF are quite pronounced. On the one hand you have the big, colourful world of WWF. On the other, WCW’s good versus bad, much more realistic approach to storytelling.

• Wrestlemania 33 Fantasy Card

Our final segment sees Old Man Joey provide a fantasy card for next year’s Wrestlemania. Who will he decide deserves a place on the card for the granddaddy of them all?

This week's episode of The Iron Man Show features discussions on the following topics:

• Recap of Wrestlemania 32, WWE Raw on 04 April 2016, and the first NXT show after Takeover Dallas.

Most of this show is dedicated to a discussion on the biggest show of the pro wrestling calendar, Wrestlemania 32. We analyse each match from the pre-show to the WWE Title main event, and throw our opinions into the mix. We then briefly talk about the first Raw after Wrestlemania, and NXT episode 329, which was almost exclusively a Takeover Dallas recap. The middle of the show has a solid face-off between Apollo Crews and Elias Samson, which suggests there are good things ahead for both men.

• Botch to Broadway - ECW Barely Legal 1997.

The first ECW PPV in 1997 was a landmark event for the company, a true indication that they were on their way to entering the big leagues. As history tells us, that ultimately wouldn't be the case, but looking back you can see the potential the brand had. It's rough and ready around the edges, certainly, but on the whole it acts as a good advertisement for the brand.

Matches vary from freestyle tag team madness to the blood-soaked violence that ECW is most known for. But in the middle are some solid technical wrestling bouts and a solid Michinoku Pro Wrestling triple tag match. The less said about Shane Douglas vs Pitbull 2, the better.

• Main Event Jobber - ECW December to Dismember 2006: The Extreme Elimination Chamber main event.

The six competitors in this match were Hardcore Holly, Rob Van Dam, CM Punk, Bobby Lashley, Test and defending champion The Big Show. To say it's painful to endure would be an understatement. Bad booking and mostly unimpressive performances put this in the "watch once, never again" camp. The only saving grace is CM Punk and a couple of good spots from RvD. On the strength of this event it's no wonder that ECW's PPV matches were added to WWE's normal monthly events.
