This week’s episode brought to you by Indy Wrestling US, Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and THRIFTY Podcast! Joe Dombrowski makes the trek to the studio to join us for this week's show. He's talking with Rizz, Mad Mike, and Sorg about: We're starting the top of the show off with some All In - WHICH IS THIS WEEKEND! (Finally). This weekend is a giant nexus of amazing shows. Joe is sharing some thoughts on Starrcast. Cody Rhodes already sold part of the All In ring - to pay for the battle royal. We're taking a look at the rundown for All In. Sorg was blinded by Kenny Omega and Pentagon. Will AJ Lee show up for All In? Is ROH still "independent" wrestling or have they been elevated to a "company?" Blackcraft Wrestling debuted in Pittsburgh this past weekend. Our crew is sharing some thoughts. Paige is a Hot Topic model? OH: The coolest thing about a wrestling shirt is when it doesn't look like a wrestling shirt. OH: You can't produce wrestling unless you understand it. We're getting a little bit of an

This week’s episode brought to you by Indy Wrestling US, Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and THRIFTY Podcast! We are joined by Lady Frost and her Savage Gentleman for this week's episode. The pair is fresh off their recent travels, but take a break in preparations for their appearance on the upcoming Blackcraft Wrestling event to join us for some wrestling chat. They are joined by our mayhem crew of Sorg, Bobby F J-Town, and Rizz as we talk about: SummerSlam happened. We're sharing some thoughts - including some MMA talk WITH the Savage Gentleman (who is a former MMA talent himself). Ronda Rousey has gone from MMA to wrestling - just like our in-studio guest the Savage Gentleman. Everyone's quick to judge Ronda Rousey, but you can't look at the current women's revolution without giving her props. MMA was against having a women's division - but look at how much women have changed the sport. Although Ronda Rousey may be "new" to WWE, she paid her dues in MMA and has built her legacy. Putting a wrestler

This week’s episode brought to you by Indy Wrestling US, Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and THRIFTY Podcast! Beastman joins us for this week's episode. Add him to our in-house mix of Rizz, Mad Mike, and Sorg? It's internet magic in the making as we talk about this week in wrestling, including: Beastman is talking some of the weird things he's seen at recent shows he's been part of. When personal and professional worlds collide. RIP Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. For Sorg, Jim Neidhart was the appeal for the Hart Foundation. And, we wind up in a discussion about Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World. Kenny Omega is taking on Pentagon and Mad Mike is All In! We're already excited for All In Again - next year's All In event. A bootleg Bullet Club shirt led to a fun interaction between Karl Anderson and the Young Bucks. We had the pleasure of seeing Marshall Gambino's final match at IWC Wrestling against Chest Flexor. Mad Mike will be at NXT Takeover Brooklyn this weekend. Sorg is almost caught up with NXT

This week’s episode brought to you by Indy Wrestling US, Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and THRIFTY Podcast!

There's big news from this week - Ronda Rousey had her first match on WWE RAW. We don't know about you, but we were a little scared for Alicia Fox in her match against Ronda Rousey. Bradley watched wrestling with his dad. And, his retelling of the experience is amazing. Everyone has opinions about how WWE is currently utilizing Ronda Rousey. Did you know WWE isn't the ONLY wrestling company out there? All In is looking great, guys! OH: I've heard things. Like the ICP Great Milenko album. All In is going to be available on Fite TV and Honor Club. The pre-show will be on WGN. Stephen Amell v Christopher Dani

This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and Indy Wrestling US! Our Impact Therapy group needed some therapy from their therapy, so we're returning to our regularly-scheduled podcasting. This week Mad Mike and Sorg are joined by Honey Badger and Lola Bradbury to get some perspective on current things in wrestling, including: Sorg went to a tech and podcast conference - - and saw Colt Cabana. In case you missed it, WWE is focusing on women with their recent announcements. We're talking some thoughts on an all women PPV. Is this women's PPV in response to the Greatest Royal Rumble where there were NO women? Who should be the commentary team for WWE Evolution? Sometimes the WWE mold doesn't fit. Thankfully it's constantly evolving and we're seeing new things. Elias made it to some top charts with his debut CD. RIP to Nikolai Volkoff, Brian Lawler, and Brickhouse Brown. Kaiju has a Kickstarter - and Sorg wants everyone to get on board. Matt Cross visited the OG Lucha Undergr

He, of course, is joined by our usual stable of ne'er-do-wells including Sorg, Dave Podnar, and Alex Kahrs as they talk this week in wrestling, including: That's right, we've kidnapped Rob Johnston from the AwesomeCast podcast so we can talk Dojo Pro (among other things). Extreme Rules was in Pittsburgh, and we are once again reminded why we can't have nice things. Sorg was so close at Extreme Rules that he almost took a pancake to the face. Dave heard Steelers chants come through the TV feed for Extreme Rules. Sorg recalls no such chants. Were they piped in? Hmmm. Things we are thankful for - The Roman Reigns v Bobby Lashley match didn't follow the Iron Man Match at Extreme Rules. We didn't see Elias in his hometown for Extreme Rules - despite the obvious Pittsburgh references throughout. Sorg is sad he didn't get an awesome Shinsuke v Jeff Hardy m

Baron Corbin v Finn Balor...because. We have a PPV in Pittsburgh - without Elias on the card?!?! New Japan was in San Francisco over the weekend. JR got the short end of some straw at New Japan. Is JR's rib injury a work? OH: Sorg is all about Kenny Omega crapping his pants. FACT: New Japan tables are way different than USA tables. OH: He's shooting bald eagles out his ass. A friend of the Sorgatron Media family (Rob Johnston) is doing a really cool thing with wrestling thanks to Dojo Pro. Thanks to THRIFTY for the sweet The Rock earbuds hook-up! Todd is sharing Champions of the Galaxy in response t

This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and Indy Wrestling US! The Heir Apparent, Chris LeRusso, is back in studio this week - with some Tag Team bling on his shoulder. He is joined by Sorg, Larry, Mad Mike, and Bobby as they talk this week's wrestling news: Sorg has been enjoying the Bugs Bunny cartoon that is Kevin Owens and Braun Strowman on RAW. Chris LeRusso is sharing some thoughts on bad finishes - especially when the match is pretty hot (until the end). When you're doing your job so well that they have to dial it back? Chris LeRusso is comparing a great wrestling match to great sex. Bobby is ruining hypothetical sex on the show. Mad Mike is sharing some thoughts on Bayley having to go to counseling. Did you guys see (all of) Charlotte Flair this week? Thanks to our friend Daniel Tiger for hitting us up with some Mayhem Voicemail! His question - Which feud would you like to see go on forever? We're learning about that time Joe Dombrowski had a fireball in a back

This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and Indy Wrestling US! Todd DeFazio of Idiot Radio returns to the show this week. He is joined by Mad Mike, Mainstream Matt, Larry, and Sorg, as they're on the heels of Money in the Bank. This week's topics include: Reading Rainbow meets Wrestling with Nino Wrestles the World. Sorg may be cashing in MITB on Idiot Radio's belt. NXT Takeover was this past weekend - a/k/a I'm sorry Sunday night show. Matt likes NXT because it has a happy ending. It was nice to see Daniel Eads make a cameo appearance (and get his butt kicked a little) on NXT Takeover. NXT is like the Bachelor / Bachelorette party to the WWE marriage. Big Cass and WWE are going their separate ways? James Ellsworth returned - the highlight of MITB! So....Rhonda Rousey, guys. WWE is the equivalent of wrestling Walmart. How do you know if you're in an abusive relationship with wrestling? Asking for a friend. When it Reigns it bores! (Thanks for that one Idiot Radio!) Sor

Podcasters and interviewers alike have been in the crosshairs awaiting the turnout of the Colt Cabana and CM Punk trial. Podcasts, in general, are entertainment – when someone frames it as fact-checked journalism, it can cause harm. A wrestling journalist having to switch gears to trial coverage? Covering New Japan is what prepared Ross for the Colt Cabana and CM Punk trial coverage. Ross covers New Japan, which brings us to Larry CANCELLING his WWE Network app! New Japan has been doing a bit lately – including some title changes and some reach

This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and Indy Wrestling US! Sorg, Larry, and Mad Mike take us through this week’s wrestling(ish) news, including: CM Punk is okay, guys. We may have gone off the rails into some UFC chatter. The XFL has an update – as in there’s been a commissioner and CEO named. We swear – this is a wrestling podcast. Nikki and John are back together! #LoveIsReal Mad Mike is offering some love advice to John Cena and Nikki Bella this week. Have you seen the Mauro Ranallo documentary?

This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and Indy Wrestling US! We're back from a week hiatus with Sorg, Larry, and Mad Mike as they talk this week in wrestling, including: Do you want the good news or the ugly news first? OH: It's not good, and it's not bad enough to be funny - It's like TNA. Enzo made a video. For not wanting to talk about it, we're spending some time talking about it. Because Mad Mike stepped away for a moment, Sorg is taking this time to talk about his return to Impact Wrestling. When you're good - but not Jim Ross good. There are some changes coming up in our wrestling. Thing we didn't realize we need: Chikara to be a Nickelodeon property. Bullet Club as Backstreet Boys?!?!?! mind blown The tire-fire that is Monday Night RAW? Larry has officially replaced RAW with NJPW. All three members of 3MB are in significant roles on RAW. Think about it. Think. About. It. Everything you loved about Broken Matt Hardy is on instagram with King Maxel. John Cena is

They are joined by Sorg, Larry, and Mad Mike this week as we talk about: WMS Sorg is reminiscing about that time he directed Virgil for a music video with our guests MaxXouT. Imagine trying to do some work in a professional setting and getting a dude calling you and yelling wrestling stuff into the phone. cough Virgil cough MaxXouT has a Jake the Snake story, too?!?! When you realize your wrestling connection with MaxXouT gets even tighter when they went to an IWC show you worked. MaxXouT is kicking around the idea of having Virgil help with their merch table at the Millvale Music Festival. The greatest of Royal Rumble events happened. Thanks to Larry for being our Middle East correspondent helping us keep things straight for the Greatest Royal Rumble. We touch on some of the politics involv

As for the mayhem crew, Mad Mike has returned from WrestleMania, and Sorg and Larry are keeping our guests company in Sorgatron Media studio as we talk about: Mad Mike is getting us all caught up on his visit to WrestleMania.

(So we're going to take a moment to talk about some great moments from the show.) Mambo Italiano appreciated some quality time with Mark Henry, while Calvin Couture had a moment with Jack Swagger at Night of the Superstars. The BIG news in WWE is the Superstar Shakeup.
