On episode 32 of The Special Relations join Calum McDougall, Ben Locke and Rory McNamara for the 2022 Christmas/2023 New Year special.
In this episode the boys continue to dip their toes back into a regular schedule by live watching the 2018 mens and womens Royal Rumble.  A variety of topics are talked about both from the world of wrestling (then and now) as well as the usual tangents you have come to know and love, there is even a slightly contentious opinion on the rumble match itself.
Come for the concept but stay for plenty of money in the bank chatter it's The Special Relations.

On Episode 31 of The Special Relations join Calum McDougall, Ben Locke and Rory McNamara as they return for 2 hours of random chat with some wrestling talk thrown in. On this episode the boys are watching the Belgium v Canada world cup game and use the time to reintroduce ourselves back to the audience and have a catch up with our personal live. We then spend time talking about the weekend away in Wales for Clash At The Castle as well as talk all things WWE/HHH and AEW/CM Punk. Come for the concept but stay for Ben actually saying negative things about AEW, it's the Special Relations.

The Special Relations return to the Place To Be Wrestling Network via the small matter of the Clash At The Castle PLE. In actual Britain! 
For the first half of this very special show, join the gang recording their preview of the event on the evening of September 2nd. Some of the predictions on there don't sound quite so far-fetched now, eh Calum?
 
The second half of the podcast will take you on the road with the chaps as you hear an Audio Diary from the weekend itself! One of their number travels to Wales with his proper actual family in tow, and then meets up with his podcast family...! They boys then review the whole shebang from - where else? -a pub, shortly after the event concluded!
 
Same time next year?

On Episode 29 of the Special Relations join Calum McDougall, Rory McNamara and Ben Locke as Chatting With The Chaps makes its grand (?) return.
In an episode that definitely wasn't recorded 2 months ago, join the chaps as they live watch the April 13th 1998 episode of Monday Night War which features the legendary first match between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon.
 
Come for the concept but stay for Calum mangling the German language, it's the Special Relations.

On episode 28 of The Special Relations join Calum McDougall, Rory McNamara and Ben Locke for some random chat with wrestling thrown in.
The boys battle technical and housework difficulties (and for once Ben has neither) to get the episode done.  We talk all things Wrestlemania weekend including our excitement levels (?) and picks for the big event.  
 
Ben then gives us a love letter to a company he is very much enjoying at the moment which then blends into a blind spot for one of us and then we watch a match from nearly 15 years ago which still holds up today.  At the end of the show Rory says his goodbyes as it's our last recording for a few months whilst he goes and enjoys (that's what it says here) fatherhood.
 
Come for the concept but stay for the absurdity it's the Special Relations.

On Episode 26 of The Special Relations join Calum McDougall, Rory McNamara and Ben Locke as they start the new year off in grand style.
In this episode they discuss the 'Royal Rumble match is just like pizza' analogy and whether or not this still is true today. We then wrap up all things 1996 with our look at the final part of the year including a devilishly hard music question set by Calum.
 
We then debut a new segment called 'the blind spot' where we will watch a match that best demonstrates a promotion/era one of us isn't familiar with.  For the first edition Ben picked a match from the modern(ish) era of WWE as we go back to 2019 and a match that was a lot better than it was given credit for.
 
Come for the concept but stay to find out if there was a party it's The Special Relations.

On Episode 25 of The Special Relations join Calum McDougall, Rory McNamara and Ben Locke as it's the third annual Special Relations office Christmas party!The boys 'treat' themselves and the listeners to a live watch of Wrestlemania 12.  Along the way they are joined by some very familiar voices to enjoy the show including a very spirited defence of the main event by Rory. Be ready too for some classic tangents, some shocking revelations and some exciting boredom!Come for the concept but stay for some drinks and photocopying it's the Special Relations!
Merry Christmas all!

On episode 24 of The Special Relations join Calum McDougall, Ben Locke and Rory McNamara as they celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the podcast!On the show Ben gets a few things off his chest about current day WWE and how it relates to him as a fan, this allows Calum and Rory to do the same.  The ten minute rule returns where Calum tries to make this year's Survivor Series a bit more interesting (spoiler: it nearly works).In the second part of the show we review the interview that took place between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels for the greatest rivalries set.  As well as talking all things Montreal, Rory puts forward a theory that Shawn knew a lot more about the 95-97 period than he was letting on.  We wrap things up by going back to March 1991 and watching a hidden gem from the Hart Foundation and The Rockers whilst reminiscing about the two years of the show!Come for the concept but stay for the rants and (for one month only) mostly serious debate, it's the Special Relations!
