Shake Them Ropes
Shake Them Ropes is a pro wrestling podcast hosted by Jeff Hawkins and Chris Novembrino. Each week, we dive into the top stories in professional wrestling and opine on whatever's on our mind from the week in professional wrestling television (and sometimes even Jeff's beloved 80s wrestling) with a light hearted take on the performance aspects of the product. Check us out on Twitter @ShakeThemRopes!

NXT, NXT UK and 205 Live were all great wonderful professional wrestling experiences, so you get nothing but effusive praise, except for Joseph Connors. Also, Jeff didn't wish Chris a happy birthday, hilarity ensues.

Time to try to cram some significance into a two week slapshod build to Laundry Wars 2018 aka Survivor Series...the one time a year...etc. You know what that means? McMahons.

Jeff didn't watch Raw as he's traveling for the holidays, so we take a different approach to discussing the show - Jeff guesses what happened! He doesn't do too badly, either. Predictable show, much? Plus, we discuss the 2003 Smackdown Ironman match between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar, and the 'Kevin Owens Hates You' segment returns. We'll be back with a special Christmas mailbag edition of STR this weekend, so be on the lookout for that. Thanks to all who sent questions!
