The Era of Honor Begins - February 23, 2002
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... nor-begins
In this, the first episode, we review “The Era of Honor Begins” from February 23, 2002. The event (as well as the podcasts) features some highs and lows, from one of the most offensive opening segments in wrestling history, to one of the best first main events in wrestling history, this show is memorable. Your hosts go into the background of the company, and talk about the progressive and regressive aspects of the company at the time. It’s a fascinating look at how far ROH (and wrestling in general) have come since 2002, and it also features a completely unnecessary jab at Joe Gagne, so check it out!

Death Before Dishonor - July 19, 2003
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... e-dishonor
ThROH The Years makes up lost time with a supersized episode! Death Before Dishonor is in many ways the biggest ROH show we’ve covered yet and we’ve brought Alan Counihan (PWTorch, WXW) to help us!

Bitter Friends, Stiffer Enemies - August 16, 2003
https://m.soundcloud.com/prowrestlingon ... er-enemies
Steve Corino loses his hearing. Dan Maff loses his consciousness. We lose our freaking minds. It’s episode 24 of ThROH The Years, and Matt and Trevor cover one of the best, most violent matches in ROH history, plus the first ever CM Punk/Samoa Joe match, plus like a hundred other things.

Beating the Odds - September 6, 2003
https://m.soundcloud.com/prowrestlingon ... g-the-odds
ThROH The Years hits the quarter century mark with episode 25, and Joe Gagne returns to help cover Beating The Odds. A fascinating show with tons of details about the Punk/Raven match that was and the one that, well, wasn’t. TNA tension, copious edits, Colt Cabana skin conditions and chicken parm are all talked about. Oh, and Trent Acid vs. Homicide 2 was pretty crazy too! End your summer right with this episode!
Glory By Honor II - September 20, 2003
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... y-honor-ii
ThROH The Years is here to bask in Glory By Honor 2, but we've brought a guest! AAW executive producer and podcast prince Dr.Keith Lipinski joins us to run down the whole show from a live perspective! Bathrooms overflow, Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels have a great match, and Terry Funk keeps it going at 59 but almost dies trying to meet our guest. Most importantly, Matt sings a Julius Smokes song at the end of the show, so I don't need to sell you on anything else.
Tradition Continues - October 16, 2003
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... -continues
The streak is over. ThROH The Years mourns (we mean celebrates) the death of a streak that has lasted all 26 previous episodes, but soldiers on with a review of Tradition Continues, the most misleading title in history! Matt and Trevor disagree more than they have in quite some time, but they come together over love for AJ Styles vs. CM Punk, Samoa Joe vs. Jay Briscoe, and Lipton’s Chicken Noodle Soup. Is this show kind of disappointing or a template for good B-market shows? We discuss, you decide!
Empire State Showdown - October 25, 2003
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... e-showdown
ThROH The Years returns to New York and it's a real whatchamadoo. We cover Empire State Showdown, a show famous for a very unique CM Punk/Steve Corino segment, but there are other things to talk about as well! Homicide vs. Samoa Joe in a no holds barred match! Julius Smokes' best performance ever? Scarred Babies! Gerbils in G-Strings! None of that probably makes any sense to you but we promise it all will after you listen. The most laugh filled ThROH The Years yet!
Main Event Spectacles - November 1, 2003
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... spectacles
ThROH The Years presents another first time guest for a lengthy episode with the wonderful Joe Sposto! This was a show all about men behaving badly and we cover the Low Ki and Teddy Hart situations in detail. In addition, the Briscoes first ROH tag title win, and in a match you’d never see in these modern times, AJ Styles vs. Bryan Danielson.
The Conclusion - November 28, 2003
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... conclusion
ThROH The Years helps conclude 2018 by reviewing…The Conclusion! It features the final ROH CM Punk vs. Raven match, but does it feel like a true satisfying end? Is Samoa Joe/AJ Styles vs. The Briscoes the best ROH tag match yet? Are any of these midcard feuds interesting? Did the SAT kill another wrestler? All these questions and more are answered, as we go bone to bone here on episode 30.
War of the Wire - November 29, 2003
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... f-the-wire
ThROH The Years has made it to 2019 and we've brought Joe Gagne with us to cover War of the Wire! AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe for the first time! Homicide vs. Steve Corino in a barbed wire match!

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... attle-2003
ThROH The Years has come to the end... of 2003! We're reviewing the final show of the year, Final Battle 2003. It's a loaded card with All Japan stars and we have lots to talk about both in the ring and behind the scenes.

But that's not all, after that we have our second annual Honor Awards, spotlighting the best and worst ROH had to offer in the year and tying it all in a cute little bow. A supersized episode to end our look at 2003!

There's only one way to find out, listen!
The Last Stand - January 29, 2004
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... last-stand
ThROH The Years is back to take a peak at a less talked about show of 2004, The Last Stand. Featured matches include Punk vs. Homicide, the Briscoes vs. Jerry Lynn and Samoa Joe, and Shelley vs. Jacobs. Are they good, disappointing, or both?

Put on a bib, it's a heavy duty episode.
Reborn Stage 1 - April 23, 2004
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... -stage-one
It's a new era for ROH and ThROH The Years as this episode Matt and Trevor cover Reborn: Stage One.

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... le-classic
Joe vs. Punk, Cameras vs. Dust. ThROH The Years covers one of the most important matches in ROH history up to this point and much more on the World Title Classic show.

Death Before Dishonor II Pt. 1 - July 23, 2004
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... -2-night-1
Hey, not allowed to leave your home? Let this lean and mean episode of ThROH The Years distract you with tales of Death Before Dishonor 2, Night One.

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... cage-melee
ThROH The Years keeps its hot streak going covering Scramble Cage Melee with Joe Gagne!

We address what's been going on in the world and then review Glory By Honor 3, a show featuring the debut of Mick Foley, the return of Steve Corino, dream matches that underachieve, other matches than overachieve, and a hippy concert playing in the background! We also take a break in the middle of the show to talk about how crazy the 2004 IWA-MS TPI tournament was. Stay strong.
Midnight Express Reunion - October 2, 2004
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... ss-reunion

Trios Tournament - March 5, 2005
https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly ... tournament
ThROH The Years kicks out 2021 with Trios Tournament 2005. It's a strangely noteworthy show, with the ROH commentary debut of Dave Prazak, the main card debuts of Steen and Generico, and a title change. It's also just a strange show.

It's a show that ends the Christopher Daniels/Samoa Joe feud...kinda.

So, big announcement, with episode five the podcast has joined the Place 2 Be Nation podcast network! It's feed will be our new home from here on out and it's really cool to be joining so many other podcasts I listen to. The show will remain entirely the same, so that's either a threat or a promise, depending on how you feel about the show! We get into this near the top of today's episode but this has nothing to do with Cubs who is one of the nicest guys for giving us a place to exist in the first place. THANK YOU CUBS.

Oh, and we have our fifth episode up today! The Years makes its Place To Be Nation debut! Each episode Matt and Trevor review a ROH show starting from the beginning. We open paying tribute to our old father Cubs and our new dad, PTBN/PWO, before reviewing Crowning a Champion! The literal hottest match in ROH history! A ton of blood! A lot of clipping! Multiple banana-based segments! We hope you enjoy it.​

I'm not sure if this is something we'll do but I could talk about it with Matt. I think what is more likely is on the final show of each year maybe we'd do some end of year awards and sum up some of our feelings and favorites that way.

Good riddance to Modest. Have no use for "unbuttered toast" bullshit mediocrity like him, Kozina, Maritato, etc.

If this keeps going through late 2005, I'd be curious to hear comparisons of Sapolsky's booker-centric commentary compared to Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff's in the '90s.

It'll definitely be interesting to see if we can spot more little easter eggs of Gabe alluding to more inner workings while on commentary.

ThROH The Years is back and fully hydrated for episode eight! Matt and Trevor review ROH’s first ever Glory By Honor! Tons of promotion war intrigue! Spanky’s farewell! Samoa Joe makes his ROH debut in one of the stiffest matches in company history! Do you like meaningless gimmick matches where the winners don’t even want the gimmicks they just won? This show has three of them! Do you want water talk on your historical ROH podcast? Then quit reading and start listening!​
