Attack of the ROHbots Episode 4 - 01.12.2008
411's back with another huge podcast broadcast! Column of Honor is proud (?) to present Attack of the ROHbots, Episode 4: A New Hero. Ari Berenstein of 411Mania and Chris Hero fan extraordinaire Chris Miccio are back for an episode all Chris Hero Worshippers have been waiting for…the Chris Hero tribute show! Almost fifty minutes of discussion about why Chris Hero is "as good as advertised" the fittest athlete in the world and just an all around ambassador for the world of professional wrestling. We talk his ROH career, his moves (including the CRAVATE!), SHENANIGANS, Hero's 2007, PWG, Ted Petty 2007 and the inevitability that he will be YOUR ROH World champion sooner rather than later. It's a Hero-riffic edition of the show! Thanks for listening to Attack of the ROHbots right here on 411mania.com!

Attack of the ROHbots Episode 3 - 12.31.2007
411's back with another huge podcast broadcast! Column of Honor is proud to present Attack of the ROHbots, Episode 3: The Rise of the ROHbot Machines. Ari Berenstein of 411Mania and wrestling “enthusiast” Chris Miccio are back for more final battle radio before 2008 kicks in! Topics include fan demographics and fan reaction for the Rising Above PPV as compared to Final Battle 2007, Nigel McGuinness and what it means to be injured and still sacrifice your body, The ROH tag title change, the FIP title change and more. Then Chris talks up the UFC 79:Nemesis show, including his thoughts on St. Pierre vs. Hughes and Silva vs. Liddell! The sound levels are actually quite good this week, but there is some interference here and there…it’s always something isn’t it? Thanks for listening to Attack of the ROHbots right here on 411mania.com! Don’t forget that Lando Calrissian is a strong role-model in the realm of science fiction/fantasy. Happy New Years and May the Force Be With You!

Attack of the ROHbots Episode 2 - 12.22.2007
411's back with another huge podcast broadcast! Column of Honor is proud to present Attack of the ROHbots, Episode 2: R2--ROHbots 2: Judgment Day. Ari Berenstein of 411Mania and wrestling “enthusiast” Chris Miccio are back for more glory by radio honor. It’s only the second show but we already break curfew as this is a FULL HOUR of wrestling talk. Topics include Aries vs. Danielson, why Ari thinks he is a wrestling DVD mark and memories of World Class Championship Wrestling. The second half of the show is a huge ROH Final Battle 2007 Weekend preview as we run down both shows and give our thoughts on such mighty men as the Necro Butcher, Claudio Castagnoli and yes, Chris Hero. Sounds issues have been improved greatly but may still be a bit low in parts. As they say in those commercials “we’re working on it!” Thanks for listening to Attack of the ROHbots right here on 411mania.com and if you plan on shoplifting, please let us know!
