Over the years, there have been several radio shows and podcasts that have complemented the LAW. Since the shutdown of the LAW, these shows were also put on hiatus, with many of them migrating to Post Wrestling upon the latter's launch in December 2017.
Review-A-Raw As a spinoff of
Review-A-Wai, John Pollock and Wai Ting also review each week's edition of
WWE Raw in a separate podcast series. As with
Review-A-Wai, each episode John Pollock and Wai Ting run down the previous episode of
WWE Raw and end by reading listener feedback. The first episode of
Review-A-Raw was posted on July 6, 2010. For a time in 2011,
Review-A-Raw was available as a live podcast, airing over the internet via
Stickam immediately following
WWE Raw, but it reverted to a taped format over technical issues resulting in one or both hosts being knocked off of the air. As announced during a live
Review-A-Wai podcast held immediately prior to
WrestleMania 31, the
Review-A-Raw name expanded to also encompass a television series broadcast on Fight Network, with John Pollock and Wai Ting as co-hosts. The televised version of
Review-A-Raw is effectively a televised recording session of the podcast, with the actual
WWE Raw review content identical in both versions. However, some segments have been modified to suit the television audience, such as the omission of listener feedback and a shorter banter portion at the start of the show that more directly relates to the co-hosts' positions at Fight Network. As both the podcast and televised shows are produced in the same sitting, there may be segments omitted from the televised portion; a selection of segments from the podcast version may be, at their discretion, posted to the Fight Network's YouTube page as
Review-A-Raw Extra; the first
Review-A-Raw Extra segment was dedicated to a contest selecting the televised series' theme music. As the podcast version takes precedence, the television edition of the show is likely to be pre-empted in the event of other Fight Network commitments by either host; this first occurred on July 5, 2016, where Jason Agnew would host an audio-only edition in lieu of the televised show, due to John and Wai covering
UFC 200 for Fight Network. The final "podcast-only" episode of
Review-A-Raw was posted March 31, 2015, with the first episode of the televised series aired on Fight Network on April 7, 2015. In January 2016, John Pollock and Wai Ting also produced an additional televised segment,
Raw in 3 Minutes, co-branded with Fight Network's
Fight News Now branding; both the full televised version and
Raw in 3 Minutes is available from the
Live Audio Wrestling YouTube channel. In mid-2017,
Review-A-Raw was made into a web-only video series alongside
Review-a-SmackDown, ending the run of
Raw in 3 Minutes. The last episode of
Review-a-Raw was posted on October 23, 2017. Following the shutdown of the LAW a week later, John Pollock and Wai Ting continued to post audio reviews of
Raw under the temporary title of
John Pollock and Wai Ting Review Raw. The full-time replacement for
Review-a-Raw under the Post Wrestling banner,
Rewind-a-Raw, launched on December 25, 2017.
Review-A-SmackDown On selected weeks with a live episode of
WWE SmackDown, a third LAW podcast starring John Pollock and Wai Ting is also available for download on Wednesdays. Like
Review-A-Raw and
Review-An-Impact,
Review-A-SmackDown reviews the previous episode of
WWE SmackDown, ending with listener feedback. The first episode of
Review-A-SmackDown was posted on August 31, 2011, with Jason Agnew filling in for Wai Ting; the first episode with Wai Ting was posted on December 1, 2011. Up until the second
WWE brand extension,
Review-A-SmackDown would be produced only on a show-by-show basis, and not every live episode of
WWE SmackDown would be reviewed.
Review-A-SmackDown would become a weekly podcast with the second WWE brand extension, complementing
Review-A-Raw. Unlike
Review-A-Raw, however,
Review-A-SmackDown is intended to remain an audio-only podcast, and not a show that is meant to air on Fight Network. The first regular episode of
Review-A-SmackDown was posted on July 19, 2016, covering the
WWE draft that kicked off the second WWE brand extension. For a brief time in 2017,
Review-a-Smackdown was also made available as a web video, under the same format as
Review-a-Raw. The last episode of
Review-a-Smackdown was posted on October 25, 2017. Following the shutdown of the LAW later that week, John Pollock and Wai Ting continued to post audio reviews of
SmackDown under the temporary title of
John Pollock and Wai Ting Review SmackDown. The full-time replacement of
Review-a-SmackDown, under the Post Wrestling banner,
Rewind-a-SmackDown, launched on December 27, 2017.
whtsNXT whtsNXT (pronounced as "what's next") is a podcast hosted by Jason Agnew and technical producer Braden Herrington, focusing on
NXT, while incorporating elements from
Bite Network Radio. The name was chosen to not only reflect the product being reviewed (a show based on developmental wrestling), but also the fact that this was Braden's first foray into radio broadcasting (having joined shortly after the LAW debuted on TSN Radio as one of his first industry jobs), and a turning point in Agnew's television career (having left
Bite TV since the LAW debuted on TSN Radio, leaving him with no permanent work in television aside from
Splatalot). It is seen as continuing in the "rite of passage" of LAW hosts moving up the ranks (Dan Lovranski, Jason Agnew, John Pollock, and Wai Ting were all, at one point, technical producers on The LAW), with the veteran Agnew guiding the rookie Braden, akin to
NXT itself. The first episode was posted on October 7, 2013 as an addition to the LAW's podcast, but thereafter was separately posted on Thursdays thereafter. "Bartender" Dave debuted on the January 21st 2016 edition of "whtsNXT" alongside Jason Agnew, he has since become a regular guest host on the show. Since Takeover's moved to Saturdays on the same weekend as the
WWE's Big 4 events, Takeover reviews have been added onto the end of The LAW podcast under the title of "whtsNXTra". Also since 2017 whtsNXT has chosen to skip the review of the post-Takeover NXT episodes, stating there's no point in reviewing a review show. The last episode of
whtsNXT was posted on October 26, 2017. A spiritual successor under the Post Wrestling banner, titled
upNXT and hosted by Braden Herrington and Davie Portman, was launched on March 22, 2018.
Review-A-Wai "Review-A-Wai" is a weekly review podcast starring John Pollock and Wai Ting, which was originally presented immediately following the archived episode of the LAW and was later made available separately. The first episode was posted on September 13, 2009. The two primarily review older wrestling pay-per-view events from the mid to late 1990s, but have since branched out to other media relating to wrestling and mixed martial arts. Notably, in a homage to an early
"Ask-a-Wai" episode where John and Wai reviewed a wrestling-related pornographic film, the second and third anniversary shows had John and Wai review a wrestling-related pornographic film; the visible discomfort of Wai reviewing the film has led them to discontinue reviewing wrestling-related pornographic films. Reviews of classic events often contain audio clips from the show(s) they are reviewing; at the end of the show, John and Wai also respond to listener feedback after the review. On occasion, they air relevant clips from previous interviews conducted with various wrestling personalities and/or interview people involved with the event being reviewed, including clips from past
"Live Audio Wrestling" shows. Each episode also ends with a piece of music specifically selected by one of the co-hosts, often relating to the show being reviewed. On occasion, when either co-host is unavailable, a substitute co-host has joined the other co-host; most notably,
Arda Ocal has been a guest reviewer on
"Review-A-Wai" on several occasions during the years that the LAW and
"Aftermath" (
The Score Television Network's wrestling analysis show, co-hosted by Arda Ocal) were promoted together. Damian Abraham has also been a frequent guest reviewer, especially if the review contains a punk rock element. The show ceased to be an add-on to the archived episode of the LAW in 2010 when the
"Review-A-Wai" portion became as long as the archived episode of the LAW itself.
"Review-A-Wai" was moved to a Wednesday release schedule following its second anniversary show, and later to late Tuesdays following the debut of
"whtsNXT" so as to avoid multiple LAW podcasts being released on the same day. With the launch of
"Review-A-SmackDown" as a regular weekly series,
"Review-A-Wai" became a biweekly series posted on Fridays, alternating with
"Bauer & Pollock". Following the end of
"Bauer & Pollock",
"Review-A-Wai" will continue to be a biweekly series on Fridays alternating with
"Keep It 2000". The final episode of
Review-a-Wai was posted on October 19, 2017, with an announced episode that would have aired had the LAW not been shut down. The first episode of the spiritual successor of
Review-a-Wai under the Post Wrestling banner,
Rewind-a-Wai, launched with the review intended for the announced episode.
Japanese Audio Wrestling Japanese Audio Wrestling is a monthly podcast hosted by Chris Charlton and WH Park, both having previously contributed to various LAW-related shows and podcasts, focusing in on Japanese wrestling. The first episode was posted on August 1, 2012. New host Jojo Remy joined the show on the January 6th, 2017, replacing the leaving pair of Chris Charlton & WH Park. From the 2017 April 3 edition WH Park has made a number of returning guest appearances. Although put on hiatus with the shutdown of the LAW in October 2017, as part of the launch of Post Wrestling, it was announced that
Japanese Audio Wrestling would continue under the Post Wrestling banner with a new name, with no specified timeframe for a relaunch. •
G1 Climax podcast Related to
Japanese Audio Wrestling is the LAW's daily coverage of the
G1 Climax tournament each year, with John Pollock recapping most days of the tournament and Chris Charlton and WH Park recapping the remaining days of the tournament.
The MMA Report with John Pollock The MMA Report with John Pollock is a radio show hosted by John Pollock on
TSN Radio, first airing on July 5, 2012. It airs Friday at midnight on TSN Radio (though the show itself is available as a podcast on the LAW podcast feed one day before), and is touted as "the third hour" of the LAW as repeats of the show air immediately after the LAW on weeks without an
Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-view (when
The UFC Post Fight Show airs in its place instead). As with the LAW, it is also broadcast in the Vancouver market (formerly
CFTE and presently
CKST) since 2013. The show is also considered to be a spiritual successor to
Fight Network Radio, due to John Pollock's past and present connections.
Keep It 2000 In December 2016, Brian Mann and Nate Milton returned with a new podcast,
Keep It 2000 (billed as "A Podcast On A Pole"). They embarked on fully chronicling every
WCW Nitro from the year 2000. These 52 episodes could prove to be the thing that finally breaks these podcasting brothers apart. The final episode of
Keep it 2000 as a LAW podcast was posted on October 14, 2017. As part of the Post Wrestling launch in December 2017, it was announced that
Keep it 2000 would continue under the Post Wrestling umbrella; the first episode of
Keep It 2000 under the Post Wrestling umbrella was posted on January 25, 2018.
British Audio Wrestling British Audio Wrestling is a British Wrestling focused podcast launched by Martin Bushby and Oli Court, with the first episode posted on January 6, 2017. The pair were joined by Richard Benson of The Indy Corner from Episode 2 onwards. The show focuses in on UK promotions "
Progress Wrestling", "
Revolution Pro Wrestling", "Fight Club: PRO" & "Over The Top Wrestling" and also covers "
ITV World of Sport Wrestling" & the "
WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament". The final episode of
British Audio Wrestling was posted on October 17, 2017. As part of the Post Wrestling launch in December 2017, it was announced that
British Audio Wrestling would continue under the Post Wrestling umbrella under a new name, later revealed to be the
British Wrestling Experience. The first episode of the
British Wrestling Experience launched on January 18, 2018.
Bauer & Pollock Bauer & Pollock is a co-production between
Live Audio Wrestling and
Major League Wrestling, where John Pollock and
Court Bauer discuss the business of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. Although initially designed to be a biweekly series, it was moved to a weekly format soon after, available on both the MLW and LAW podcast feeds. The show was originally posted on Fridays, but was moved to late Wednesdays to avoid having multiple LAW podcasts being posted on the same day. With the launch of
Review-A-SmackDown as a weekly series,
Bauer & Pollock became a biweekly series posted on Fridays, alternating with
Review-A-Wai. After a lengthy hiatus on 12 January 12, 2017, "The Final Edition" of Bauer & Pollock was uploaded. The reason behind the decision to end Bauer & Pollock was the large workloads of each host and inability to find a common free day to do the podcast. On March 17, 2017, Court & John returned for a "One-Off" special, continuing to do almost one show every month since.
Ask-A-Wai / Bite Network Radio Ask-A-Wai was an add-on to the end of each LAW broadcast starting in September 2008, and starred John Pollock and Wai Ting, then call screener on the LAW. It was taped immediately following
Live Audio Xtra, and was a general discussion podcast and generally unrelated to wrestling. In late 2009, Jason Agnew joined Ask-A-Wai as a co-host, though retaining the same format as before.
Ask-A-Wai ended with the move of the LAW from CFRB to
Hardcore Sports Radio, though the
Ask-A-Wai format would be succeeded with the
Bite Network Radio podcast.
Bite Network Radio itself would be hosted by Jason Agnew and John Pollock, retaining the format of
Ask-A-Wai, and occasionally featuring Wai Ting and other members from their circle of friends. Like
Ask-A-Wai,
Bite Network Radio was taped immediately following the LAW.
Bite Network Radio ended with the move of the LAW to
TSN Radio, as the studios at TSN could no longer accommodate all of the regular hosts. Though
The Late Shift, a radio show hosted by Jason Agnew on CFRB, is touted as the spiritual successor of Bite Network Radio, it follows a different format and has no formal association to the LAW.
UFC Post Fight Show on TSN Radio Starting in 2011 with
UFC 140, The LAW started to present a
UFC post fight show on TSN Radio 1050. The show airs after the conclusion of the most recent
Ultimate Fighting Championship event and provides results and opinions from callers and
MMA journalists. Though originally branded as a LAW show, since the launch of
The MMA Report the show has used the latter show's branding.
Review-An-Impact Each Saturday (some episodes may be delayed to Sunday), former WWE writer
Brian Mann and frequent LAW contributor Nate Milton review the previous edition of
Impact Wrestling. Originally hosted by John Pollock and Wai Ting as a counterpart to
Review-a-Raw, the first episode of
Review-An-Impact was posted on November 5, 2010. Since September 2011, Nate Milton (nicknamed "The Godfather, TNAte" in the LAW community) has been featured in a recurring segment on
Review-An-Impact where he provides separate analysis of the episode; this was often in the form of an interview with one of the co-hosts. In the event that either host was unavailable, Nate takes on the role of co-host for the entire podcast in place of the segment. In late 2014, due to Wai Ting's other commitments, Nate Milton became a co-host on a more full-time basis, though the arrangement lasted for only a few weeks due to the termination of
Impact Wrestling on Spike TV; Wai Ting's final episode of Review-An-Impact was on October 23, 2014. With the relaunch of
Impact Wrestling on
Destination America,
Review-An-Impact was revamped with Brian Mann as the lead host, initially with John Pollock as co-host in the pilot episode on January 8, 2015, and with Nate Milton as co-host on a full-time basis on the following episode. Due to being the first "all-American podcast" in the LAW family, and with neither co-host hosting another LAW podcast,
Review-An-Impact also expanded their scope to include their commentary on general wrestling news, diversity issues in professional wrestling, pop culture (largely as a result of Brian later joining
Yahoo! Movies), and politics in general. With the declining relevance of TNA in North American professional wrestling in 2015 (and the impending end of the TNA/Destination America partnership),
Live Audio Wrestling decided to terminate coverage of TNA following the
2015 Bound for Glory event; the final regular episode of
Review-an-Impact (an episode dedicated to counting down the "Top 10 moments in
Impact Wrestling history") aired on October 3, 2015.
Keep It 100 Billed as "the realest show about being fake",
Keep it 100 is a podcast that serves as a spiritual successor to
Review-An-Impact, hosted by Brian Mann and Nate Milton. The idea behind the show came from the viewer feedback segments from
Review-an-Impact, where general questions regarding the co-hosts' opinions started to dominate the discourse as opposed to feedback related to episodes of the episodes of
Impact Wrestling being reviewed. With
Live Audio Wrestling deciding to terminate coverage of TNA, it was agreed that the viewer feedback segment would effectively be expanded to cover the entire show. The concept of this podcast, where the co-hosts must answer every question asked of them with absolute truth, was largely inspired by the segment of the same name on
The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. Similar to its predecessor, topics covered by the show are primarily focused on general wrestling news, diversity in professional wrestling, wrestling as it relates to pop culture, with a slight nod to politics. The first episode aired on October 9, 2015. Due to the hosts' other commitments,
Keep It 100 aired for only seven weeks as a weekly series, though various special shows have been posted on an irregular basis, including those dedicated to covering TNA special events.
Review-A-Merica "Review-A-Merica" was a one-off podcast covering the
2012 United States presidential election from the perspective of two Canadians (John and Wai). In 2016, Brian and Nate revived the
"Review-A-Merica" podcast for a series of shows covering the
2016 United States presidential election from a "wrestling with democracy" perspective.
Ask-A-Wai Video Podcast The
Ask-A-Wai name would later be reused for a video podcast series featuring John Pollock and Wai Ting in late 2011, as a complement to
Review-A-Wai, where John Pollock and Wai Ting answered questions submitted by
Review-A-Wai fans regarding pro wrestling and mixed martial arts. Though originally filmed in the "
Review-A-Wai studios" at
Fight Network, later entries were filmed in various locations in and around downtown Toronto. A short-lived revival of
Ask-A-Wai was also posted as a YouTube series on the
Live Audio Wrestling YouTube channel in 2015, it ended in May 2016. The
Ask-A-Wai name would be used following the shutdown of the LAW, as a monthly audio podcast for
Patreon supporters of Post Wrestling.
CWCeen In 2016, a separate show,
CWCeen, was added to the end of
whtsNXT, covering the
WWE Cruiserweight Classic. This show was hosted by Braden Herrington and Wai Ting, and includes banter on their common love of hip-hop, as well as the fact that Braden Herrington had joined Fight Network after leaving TSN Radio. ==End of Year Awards==
