This week, our "In The News" segment covers WWE's Q1 2020 finances report and how that relates to their recent layoffs. We also look at news on the next wrestling video game, as well as the end of the XFL. Our main topic this week looks back at past WrestleManias and shows that should have had a different main event. Which WrestleManias would we re-book the main events for, and which matches do we propose should have headlined? In particular, you are going to want to listen to our re-working of WrestleMania XI.  We close with Kyle's "Deep Dive Of The Week" looking at three must-see matches while you're in quarantine.  All of this and more on Episode 139 of Top Rope Nation!

A fun episode this week as Ryan and Jesse discuss the WWE and Warner Bros. Discovery rumors, as well as some thoughts on WWE Monday Night Raw (Drew McIntyre, that CM Punk & Seth Rollins promo), AEW Dynamite, the Continental Classic, and more.

What would their arrival look like and how would it help them freshen up their careers? An interesting discussion that should pave the road for another show we have lined up about a month from now.

With WWE NXT set to revive the In Your House event this Saturday night at TakeOver, we thought this would be a good chance to go back and look at the previous editions of In Your House that were produced from 1995-1999. In doing so, each of us list our top ten favorite matches in the history of the event.  While there's a good amount of overlap, there's also a few differences in our lists that bring about some great discussion.  We are joined this week by Zack Heydorn of the Pro Wrestling Torch and Fansided.

We're under two weeks away from WWE Money In The Bank, so we examine where things stand for the men's and women's divisions as they look to crown two new brief case holders. Who should win? Who will win? What major issues are plaguing this situation? Plus, we take a look at the WWE 50 Greatest Tag Teams list - what did they get wrong, what did they get right, and who would be our own top five? A great historical discussion.

We recapped AEW Dynamite Grand Slam immediately after the show ended. The event, which aired live from the Arthur Ashe Stadium in NYC, will go down as one of the great wrestling television broadcasts of all time. Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson went to a time limit draw in one of the best TV matches ever. Cody Rhodes was back in action. Britt Baker and Ruby Soho were put in the main event slot. And Sting impressed. We break it all down!

With the WWE Survivor Series happening this weekend, we examine the history of the show itself — from the TRN archives! This is a selection from a podcast we recorded back in November 2016, a real deep dive on what led to WWE creating the event in 1987 (their second-ever yearly PPV, only behind WrestleMania). The rivalry between Jim Crockett Promotions and the WWF is examined in depth. If you enjoy this selection on the origins of the Survivor Series, check out the full podcast (Episode 13) from November 2016 as Ryan and Kyle go on to review the 1987, 1988, and 1989 Survivor Series shows in full.
