Live Audio Wrestling

Live Audio Wrestling (also known as The LAW) was a Canadian sports radio talk show hosted by "The Mouth" Dan Lovranski and Jason Agnew. The program primarily focused on news and events related to professional wrestling (such as WWE) and mixed martial arts.

First premiering in May 1997 as an internet radio show, LAW later shifted to conventional radio on several stations in the Toronto area, and moved to CHUM-AM in 2011. Due to the show's popularity, TSN's Off the Record has featured past and current co-hosts of the radio program as guest panelists over the years.^{[citation needed]}

Live Audio Wrestling announced its cancellation on October 30, 2017, due to cutbacks following Anthem Sports & Entertainment's acquisition of TNA Wrestling, which impacted The LAW's syndicator, Fight Network Radio. Most of its segments and spin-off shows have since migrated to a new website, known as "Post Wrestling".

Live Audio Wrestling premiered on May 23, 1997 as an internet radio show through Virtually Canadian, with Faarooq as its first guest. The show aired online for a year and a half before moving to CJCL, The Fan 590—however, it was still only broadcast online, since the show was broadcast as replacement programming due to NBA policies prohibiting the station's online feed from airing Toronto Raptors games. In an effort to secure studio time, the show was taped early in the morning. Due to popular demand and listener support, The LAW soon became part of The Fan's normal lineup, airing in the early afternoon on Saturdays.

The show later expanded to include a two-hour late-night program on Sunday nights from 1:00 to 3:00 a.m., later moved to Saturdays at 11:00 p.m. in late 1999, while the afternoon edition moved to 5:00 p.m. In February 1999, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter began a weekly segment during the program.

The LAW aired on The Fan 590 until September 2000 when it moved to rival station CFYI Talk 640 as a companion to the station's recently acquired radio broadcasts of Toronto Maple Leafs games.^{[citation needed]} The evening broadcast was moved from Saturdays to Sundays.^{[citation needed]} In April 2001, the afternoon edition of The LAW was dropped during the station's re-launch under the Mojo Radio format, while The LAW remained on the station through 2006^{[citation needed]}

In January 2005, Fight Network purchased a majority stake in The LAW, and in February of that same year announced that they had secured an agreement with Broadcast News for national syndicated the program through Fight Network Radio.^{[citation needed]} Affiliates of the group (aside from its flagship Toronto stations) included: CKST Vancouver, CFRN Edmonton, CFGO Ottawa, CHMJ Vancouver, and CJOB Winnipeg.^{[citation needed]}

In July 2006, The LAW moved to CFRB and retained its 11pm time-slot.^{[citation needed]} In the Fall 2006, LAW announced that the show would eventually begin to air in simulcast on Fight Network, though nothing came of it.^{[citation needed]}
