The February 28th edition of WrestleZone Radio with Matt Boone, Ryan Clark, and John Hartnett is now online.

Matt and Ryan start the show off running down some upcoming guests. On today's show will be "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, Jerry Lynn is tenatively scheduled for tomorrow's show, Monday's show we've got Sean Waltman aka X-Pac, Wednesday's show we're looking at "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, and on Friday's show we'll be joined by "The Iceman" Chuck Liddell.

From there it was time to run down the latest news. Matt and Ryan started off by talking about the final card for tonight's explosive UFC 41: Onslaught pay-per view, The Rock and Jim Ross on Byte This! later today, Limp Bizkit confirmed to perform at WrestleMania on March 30th, WWE allowing some of their wrestlers to take Independant bookings, Curt Hennig tribute on "O'Reilly Factor" postponed, Raven holding a public seminar, and William Regal recovering from a concussion.

Then it was time to dig into the ever-lovable WrestleZone Radio Mailbag. Today's Mailbag segment brought forth discussions and debates on a triple threat main-event at WrestleMania featuring The Rock vs. Steve Austin vs. Bill Goldberg, what happened to the recent referee's "strike" angle in WWE, if WWE will ever bring back the War Games match gimmick from WCW, if we'll see another brother vs. brother feud between the Hardys, who the Montreal referee who helped "screw" Hulk Hogan at No Way Out was, which show we feel is better between RAW or SmackDown, our thoughts on Rock's new entrance video and music, the latest on Kevin Nash's WWE return, why the Test/Chris Jericho angle is still going if the plan is to have Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho at WrestleMania, if WWE will ever re-live WrestleMania 3 and hold an event in 3 different cities at the same time, our take on WWE trying to call the Hogan/Rock II finish the new "Montreal screwjob", and why WWE wrestlers who get released are legally obligated to not speak bad about the company in interviews.

Then it was time for our mixed-martial arts correspondant John Hartnett to join the show alongside Matt Boone for the exclusive interview with "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock. Shamrock talked to Matt and John about tonight's UFC 41: Onslaught pay-per view, his last fight against Tito Ortiz, what he's been up to lately, how his courage won over Don Frye and Tito Ortiz despite bad feelings between each in his fights, if we'll ever see him in the Octagon again possibly against Vitor Belfort or Tank Abbott, how he got involved with tonight's UFC 41 pay-per view as an announcer, what he thinks of Tank Abbott's return, the Baroni/Lindland grudge match, if we'll get another surprise "bombshell" like we did at UFC 40 with the Tank Abbott return announcement, and the latest on his status in returning to the pro wrestling scene in Japan or America.

From there it was off to the SmackDown Rundown segment where Matt and Ryan talk in-depth about last night's SmackDown! They discussed Vince McMahon's opening segment, Stephanie McMahon's announcement of Torrie Wilson in Playboy, the Italian stable officially named "Full Blooded Italians" or "FBI", the gimmick between Brock Lesnar vs. Team Angle where Lesnar gets anyone from Team Angle in a cage match next week if he wins and why the person he picked was a smart move, Rhyno's shocking return in the tag match with Chris Benoit, Nathan Jones coming out for the save for Undertaker, John Cena's computer rap freestyle on Brock Lesnar, the airing of the "screwjob" from No Way Out, and the Brock Lesnar vs. Team Angle main-event.

After that it was time for a brief Ryan Clark's Newsbits segment where Matt and Ryan discussed No Way Out being mentioned in the Montreal Gazette, big discussion on Goldberg to WWE and how things could work now that all the big names seemed to be tied up heading into WrestleMania, and a huge debate about Paul Heyman's recent demotion from SmackDown! lead writer to simple contributor to RAW and SmackDown!
