Notsam Wrestling
Hosted by Notsam Wrestling
A pro-wrestling analyst's deep dive into WWE storylines, character psychology, and historical context, hosted by a long-time broadcaster.
This is a solo-hosted analysis show breaking down weekly WWE developments with a heavy focus on long-term storytelling, character motivation, and 'fantasy booking.' Roberts blends historical context with current events, often dedicating entire episodes to the anniversary of a key moment or the career of a specific wrestler. He dissects promos, match outcomes, and backstage decisions to explain the 'why' behind the on-screen product.
“Roberts operates with a semi-insider perspective, having worked on WWE's own programming, which informs his analysis without it becoming a pure 'insider' dirt sheet. The show's strength is its consistent focus on the mechanics of storytelling and the psychology behind booking decisions.”
