During the Christmas show John believes that Northern Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom. It actually is, the Republic of Ireland is not part of the UK. I suspect you're talking about this exchange (ca. 1:21:30): John: We are gonna be joined in the new year with [...] a UK centric podcast [...]Wai: So that means that Ireland won't be included, right? John: Ah, well, the northern part, I believe. Due to the way the question is structured, it can be interpreted both ways, but I do feel John is actually trying to say that Northern Ireland is included. I was actually referring to an earlier exchange in the show when John flat out said that he thought Northern Ireland wasn't part of the UK. May have misheard him to be fair.

On the BOLA 2016 edition of Review-a-Wai Todd Martin is unsure of the name of the tag team that made video game references and ran on a power pad prior to their matches. That team was The RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime and Johnny Yuma) and it was Goodtime who ran on the power pad. RockNES is one of the better Nintendo emulators. If the reference is that deep......then wow. I'm sure it is, I mean they came out with a power pad! They obviously love the NES.

During the December 28th edition of Review-A-Smackdown, the guys talk about Alicia Fox slapping her storyline boyfriend on 205 Live, who seems to enjoy it. Wai calls him a sado-masochist.
Noam Dar is a masochist in this scenario - perhaps even a sexual masochist. Alicia Fox is the sadist. Together, they apparently have a sado-masochistic lifestyle.

Not really a correction here just adding. During the first episode of Keep It 2000 Brian & Nate are trying to think of how long WCW went without having the NWO before the 2000 version came along, thinking at least 6 months. There's an interesting web page that looks into the whole NWO angle, which I'll link below. But basically it says that the NWO split into 2 at the beginning of 99 (the Elite & B-Team), while the Elite would kind of fade away due to injuries etc. the B-Team would still go on into August. The page also mentions that both just seemed to stop without any thing being mentioned on TV. So basically it really hadn't been that long since WCW had no NWO. www.angelfire.com/mb/outsidersedge/nwo.htm

On the December 27th Review-A-Raw John recaps Rollins and Stephanie's opening segment exchange where Stephanie says "When Rollins goes low, she goes high." and John says "Her Hillary Clinton line." It was actually Michelle Obama who delivered that line when referring to Donald Trump.

During the January 4th edition of Review-A-Smackdown, the guys discuss Smackdown's broadcasters touting the show as the top-rated show in sports entertainment the previous week, saying that that only means they beat ROH, TNA and other wrestling promotions' weekly TV shows.
John and Wai forgot one - the commentary team was stressing this because they had better ratings than Raw last week.

During the January 10th edition of Review-A-Raw, Wai comments on the Undertaker's speech pattern, saying that it is reminiscent of Christopher Reeve and his voice box, with its periodic pauses.
Following his accident that left him a quadriplegic, Christopher Reeve relied on the use of a ventilator in order to breathe. He was forced to pause while speaking as the ventilator assisting his inhaling, whereas those who do not suffer from this affliction have an element of control over when to take a breath while they talk.

On the January 10th edition of 'Review-A-Raw!' John was confused as to the "Golden Globes" joke Shawn Michaels towards Rusev & Lana.
This as a "poorly" referenced joke on actor Jeremy Renner's "infamous" joke on Jennifer Lopez breasts during the 2015 Golden Globes.
Renner received strong backlash for his comments, in which he defended his comments.
To be fair John. Micheals did a pop culture reference nearly two years from the actual event (The Golden Globes aired January 11, 2015), so at least he WAS trying?

I highly doubt it was a reference to that. Just the same, fairly obvious, joke.

On the January 10th edition of Review-A-Raw, John say that Shawn Michaels never got back to his point after making the "curve ball" analogy. In fact, Michaels did mention winning the title in his Hometown at the Rumble 20 years ago. I'm certain of this as there's no way I'd have known it otherwise.
Two other notes. I was looking forward to John pointing out that Charlotte flubbed her line and said Emma Stone "couldn't handle a candle to" Sasha's acting, but I guess he missed it. (Or I'm crazy which is equally possible as I didn't rewind.) And I find it highly unfair that Stephanie was going to base Foley's entire 2016 performance review on whether or not UT showed up on RAW 10 days into 2017.

This one has an asterisk with it cause some other people were talking and John's voice was a little difficult to make out. He might have said this correctly.
On the 1/8 LAW show, it sounded to me like John said Conor McGregor was a two division champ in Cage Rage. He was a two division champ in Cage Warriors, not Cage Rage.
Again though, I might have misheard. There were 3 people talking at the same time.

Review a raw Jan 24, 2017 John states that Flair worked with Ted DiBiase in the 1992 Royal Rumble. Ted was walking back up the aisle as Flair passed him on his way down the aisle into the ring. Ted was eliminated before Flair entered the ring.

During the January 24th edition of Review-A-Raw, John and Wai are trying to determine whether they might see Shaq appear at this weekend's Royal Rumble, or if there's a Raw before WrestleMania in a city that would make sense for Shaq to appear, likely to benefit from a friendly crowd pop.
Shaq went to high school in San Antonio, site of the 2017 Royal Rumble.

On the January 31st edition of Review-A-Raw, John and Wai are recapping Enzo and Cass' insults directed towards Rusey and Jinder, who Cass calls the Lollipop Kids.
This is one of several misheard versions of the Lollipop Guild from the Wizard of Oz, a group of Munchkins in the Wizard of Oz. Other common incorrect versions of this are the "Lollipop League" or "Lullaby League".

During the February 1st edition of Review-A-Smackdown, and John comments that James Ellsworth and his new wardrobe look like someone auditioning the role of Bart in a live-action movie production of The Simpsons. Wai counters by saying Ellsworth looks more like he's going for the role of Mr. Burns. Wai may just believe that Ellsworth looks like Mr. Burns, but I think Wai meant that he looks like Hans Moleman in the episode where Bart is tempted by Mr. Burns' wealth and lives in his mansion for a period of time while being groomed to be Burns' heir:
