"I just heard about WWE this afternoon!"

Pre-show notes:

- Comments, shares, likes, what-have-you are deeply appreciated. I throw a commenting badge on every single one of these, but I’d like to just write to a community that doesn’t mind helping out and clicking a few buttons. Also, I’d run out of badges, and nobody’s going to click like for a ROMAN REIGNS’ COOL JACKET badge.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

- GIFs in this week’s report are courtesy of THESTINGER, because he is a gracious and generous Wrestling Bro.

- Chikara’s season finale ‘Under The Hood’ is airing on iPPV this weekend, and if you’re any kind of Wrestling Bro, you’ll order and watch it. It’s only $17 bucks, and you can watch it as much as you want. I guarantee you that ACH vs. Mr. Touchdown will justify a show worth three times as much.

Please click through to enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw for November 26, 2012.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

CELLSHOCKED~!

Pre-show notes:

- Comments, likes and shares are appreciated. We’ve got some handy “share” buttons at the bottom of every post, so all you need to do is click a couple of buttons to make sure I keep getting paid to not pay for and review wrestling pay-per-views. PPV columns never get as many shares or comments as weekly Raws, so if you want me to keep doing them, help me out.

- Special thanks to Jerusalem at Punchsport Pagoda for providing GIFs.

- All photos in this post are courtesy of WWE.com. If you’re a WWE representative and are looking to sue me for unauthorized use of said photos, I didn’t get them from you, I stole them all from Busted Coverage.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

That should do it. Please click through to enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE Hell In A Cell 2012, and to not enjoy its actual pre-show.

Pre-show notes:

- Thank you guys for always taking a minute out of your day to drop a comment on these reports. I know I bug you about it in the pre-show notes a lot, so even if you just post “good jorb” down there it means a lot to me. Shares on social media are the only way to keep these columns circulating, so make sure you click the “like” button and share this week’s thing on Twitter. If we can get likes and Twitter shares going as reliably as the comments, we’ll really be somewhere. Don’t make me make you Tout again.

- Thanks as always to Casey of Hammerlock Dialectic for gifs. Be on the lookout for another Wrestling GIFs Of The Month special later in the week.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

And now, the Best and Worst Of Raw 1001 (July 30, 2012), no longer lovingly presented by Tout.com.

Pre-show notes:

- Do me a big favor and click that “like” button at the top. If we get 100+ comments on these reports, we should be getting just as many likes. This is my job, technically, and I get paid based on some really weird stuff.

- Thanks to Casey of Hammerlock Dialectic for gifs, as always, especially the one at the very end.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

- We’ve got a Smackdown discussion thread happening for tonight’s Great American Bash live special, so be sure to check back in a little bit for that. It’ll have a Ryback badge, and I don’t want you to miss it.

Short list this week, so let’s get right to it. Please click through to enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw for July 2, 2012. Yes. YES. YES! YES!

Is that Hulk Hogan back there?

Pre-show notes:

- Before you read this week’s report, make sure to stop over and read The Best And Worst Of WWE No Mercy 2012. You guys are always bugging me to do pay-per-view reports, so get over there and comment/like/share and what have you. If you don’t read that, you won’t know what’s going on on Raw! Haha yes you will

- Thanks to Casey of Hammerlock Dialectic for maximum Gif-age.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.

- If you just tune in to With Leather for the wrestling reports, make sure not to miss With Spandex episode 6, where I talk to WWE Superstar Derrick Bateman. I’m trying to get the podcast over as a thing, so help me out.

Because I promised you two columns this week, enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw for June 18, 2012. A single tear.
