Ringside is back this week, as we take a scan over another action packed week of news, as we deal with plenty of departures, as UFC faced losing two of it's top names, while WWE said bye-bye to Lilian Garcia.

We're also joined for half an hour by Maffew - best known as the creator of the hit YouTube series of Botchamania videos (with one F-bomb for effect! you have been warned!), as he talks about wrestling, botches, and a whole lot more! We also touch upon more from WWE, including next week's controversial guest host of Raw, Jim Cornette's departure from TNA, and a lot more about the Hulkamania promotion that's hitting Australia in November!

We've also got a joint Event Center this week, as Ian and Adam run down this weekend's UFC and TNA pay-per-views, a peek into the future as WWE recycle more matches (except this time, they're in Hell in a Cell!), and look into the future house shows and indie shows!

Ringside celebrates its first new-look show (and second anniversary) with a blast! Ian Hamilton and Adam Firestorm return to the show with improved sound comes a new format, a new look, and a star guest.

A few days ahead of a two-date run in Portimao, Portugal with the World Stars of Wrestling promotion, we're joined by ROB VAN DAM as he talks about his latest tour of Europe, as well as a look back to his long career in ECW and WWE, how fans still continue to react to him today and whether he would consider a return to a full-time schedule.

We also ask Rob about his time with the Nu Wrestling Evolution, and his experiences of helping train the Ultimate Warrior for his comeback match last year. Rob also tells us about how much (or little) wrestling he watches nowadays, before we wrap up with a quick game of word association featuring some of RVD’s former bosses.

On top of that, Ian and Adam talk about the Dragon Gate USA pay-per-view, and why it is may not be the breath of fresh air everyone was talking about... plus a preview of this weekend's Breaking Point pay-per-view, alongside a look into the worlds of WWE, TNA, UFC and more!
