Wrestling Mayhem Show

We're LIVE for this week's Podcast with Billy and women's wrestler Honey Badger in studio! Shout out to Michael Watson and his TheWrestlers PhotoBook project. We got our copy! So. Much. Wrestling. This weekend was RIDICULOUS - in a good way. So...Karaoke at WWE Hall of Fame? We think one of the best parts of the Hall of Fame is the old stories. But, with all the backstage stuff the WWE Network is doing these days, we get those stories elsewhere. We were super happy to see the return of the Salmon Jacket during Mark Henry's induction to the Hall of Fame. NXT Takeover set the bar for WrestleMania weekend and what a bar it was! Sorry ladies for having to follow up that Ladder Match. Gargano v Ciampa was everything we wanted it to be. The IndyIntegration over WrestleMania weekend was good to see! A few people we know took the opportunity to get in front of as many eyes as possible at all the Indy Wrestling shows for WrestleMania weekend - like Dakota Kai who wrestled 6x! Since we talked about Hall of Fame and

This week's episode is brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and Indy Wrestling US. It's the last Tuesday before WrestleMania, which can only mean one thing...PATREON IN THE BANK! And, it's a full house for the occasion. In addition to being joined by a special guest, Todd DeFazio of Idiot Radio, we've got Bobby, Billy F'n Johnson, Larry, Sorg, and Mad Mike talking about: We attended RAW and Smackdown last week (which meant no live show on Podcast Day) so we're running through our brief thoughts heading into WrestleMania. We're talking some NXT Takeover as we head into WrestleMania! Is John Cena emoting the same feeling as being turned down at the high school dance or a kid throwing a tantrum? ARE WE SEEING A HEEL TURN ON THE HORIZON? It's astounding the number of WWE guys without contracts around WrestleMania time... Anyone else notice The Miz' post-baby glow? Is there a WrestleMania match that's booked that you can do without? With all the matches booked for WrestleMania, we're talkin

This week’s episode is brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and Indy Wrestling US. WWE may have infiltrated our local wrestling scene this past weekend, which can only mean we’ve got some great content from indy wrestling that’s still very relevant to this show! Even better – we’ve got Farnsworth joining us on the big purple couch to add his thoughts to the mix. As usual, he’s joined by our usual cast of characters as we’ve got Sorg and Larry in studio with Bobby F J-Town and Rizz on live via the internets! We collectively learned in wrestling this week that the Honky Tonk Man sings at live shows. Daniel Bryan has been cleared for action – just in time for Mayhem Mania. (And, we have differing views on this week’s show.) The Ultimate DELETION (finally) happened on RAW! The Ultimate DELETION wasn’t shown on the Hulu cut? Or in the arena at RAW? Bobby had a James Ellsworth experience this past weekend. Did James Ellsworth spoil Ultimate DELETION for Bobby? It’s time for MayhemMania! Farn

We couldn’t have planned this week’s in-studio guest any better if we tried. Marcus Mann joins us on the big purple couch to talk about the road to WrestleMania! He’s joined by Rob, Larry, Sorg, Mad Mike, and Mainstream Matt as they talk about: We’ve got the RYSE Wrestling Head of Talent Relations, Marcus Mann, on the sofa this week! Sorg was in Florida over the weekend, and had a chance to visit the Hulk Hogan shop down there. Marcus Mann is sharing some updates about what they’re up to down at RYSE Wrestling. Want to check it out? Head over to www.indywrestling.us We’ll be getting to some Fastlane and WrestleMania talk shortly. But first – John Cena has a Road to WrestleMania and Marcus couldn’t be happier. John Cena broke RAW. We’re breaking down an interesting comparison between John Cena, Hulk Hogan, and Chris Jericho. It’s the wrestler’s responsibility to take that #1 spot. If someone isn’t taking that spot, then it really belongs to the guy at the top. (In this case John Cena.) Vince McMahon will not

We’ve got a super special treat as we’re joined by Chris DeJoseph, Co-Executive Producer of Lucha Underground! As far as our usual host of mayhemmers, we’ve got Sorg, Chad, Larry, Mainstream Matt, Mad Mike, and Bobby F J-Town talking about: Chris DeJoseph is coming to us FROM the new Lucha Underground temple. There are some growing pains with Lucha Underground moving to a new temple. What we’ve learned so far from Chris DeJoseph: Spare no expense when it comes to porta-potties. Because we’ve got Chris DeJoseph on the line with us, we’re asking for a Lucha Underground and Big Brother mash-up. There’s a combined Lucha Underground and IMPACT Wrestling show WrestleMania weekend. We never know who’s going to pop up when we’re live streaming with Chris DeJoseph – like Drago. We’re putting it out there: Who from Lucha Underground do you want to see make coffee in their underwear with RJ City? Another very important question about the new Lucha Underground location: We’re learning where the best place(s) to eat are.

The Beast Man brings his dino bone with him as he joins us in studio for this week's show. He's chatting with our stable of wrestling fans, Matt, Wheelz, Mad Mike, Sorg and Mutilator Larry, as they're talking about: We are having a Mad Mike identity crisis on this week's show. Jeff Jarrett is the Milli Vanilli of wrestling. Elimination Chamber happened. We're sharing thoughts. Mandy Rose had some firsts...maybe not what she'd like to be known for, though. Sad John Cena is a thing, guys. Is WWE going all MayhemMania on this year's WrestleMania? Beast Man is sharing his thoughts on Braun Strowman and WrestleMania. Mixed Match Challenge thoughts are varying on this week's podcast. If you haven't given 205 Live a chance recently, you may want to give it another shot. It's been good lately! Ronda Rousey is officially a WWE superstar! And, man - that start to her new career. It's time for MayhemMania. What did YOU learn in wrestling this week? Thanks to Tonio Garza (@TheWRevolution) for putting together graphics f

We’re deep in the throes of Mayhem Mania this week as things keep getting more and more intense! As an added bonus, we have one of the area’s hottest tag teams in studio as we’re joined by “The Gavel” David Lawless and Officer Dan. We’re talking all things wrestling this week, including: Thanks to David Lawless, the term moron is now a term of endearment among our crowd. Thanks to Billy Johnson for our OFFICIAL Rusev Day calendar for the studio. Now we know that every day is Rusev Day! Bobby made WWE’s radar – – by accident. So, a 2-hour match on RAW? We’re getting ready for Elimination Chamber. Apparently, so is WWE. We’re making our Elimination Chamber picks! Who do you think/want to win? It’s the Ewomenation Chamber! If Rhonda Rousey goes to Elimnation Chamber, does that give her a home-field advantage? OH: You don’t just turn into Chun Li overnight. David Lawless’ tagteam partner, Officer Dan joins us for the 2nd half and Mayhem Mania! It’s time for last week’s Mayhem Mania wrap-up, so we know what we’r

It's a packed house for this year's Mayhemmies episode with Billy Johnson, Chad the Shad, Larry, Sorg, Mad Mike, and Bobby F J-Town. This week we're talking about: It's time for the Mayhemmy winner announcements - including a special address for the Best Dressed guest! We have Duke Davis live via video to accept his Best Dressed award as part of the best dressed tagteam guests Locked 'n Loaded. Congratulations to Eric VanWagenen on the Interview of the Year Mayhemmy! The Award for Excellence in Independent Wrestling goes to Joey Ryan! Moment of the Year Mayhemmy goes to Sorg and his Boop the Internet moment. Producer Missy would like to thank everyone who voted her Personality of the Year. xoxoxo We've got some big Lucha Underground news and thoughts at the top of the show this week. It's been a bit since we've touched upon the Mixed Match Challenge, so we're fixing that. Mixed Match Challenge is pretty much what we'd expect for a Facebook audience item. We may have devolved the conversation into fonts and g

It's the second week of Mayhem Mania! Just for the occasion, we've got a direct connection to Yinza the Pittsburgh Luchador with Dave Fedor joining us in studio. Of course we've got our usual crew of Sorg, Matt, Larry, Mad Mike, and Rizz talking this week in wrestling, including: So, Coach is back, and apparently Booker T isn't happy about it. SadTozawa 205 Live going back to a Cruiserweight Classic model? We're digging it. Will we be seeing a Neville return? We're tracing down the name history of Drake Mallard. Let's just say Darkwing Spud is our new favorite thing. WWE's new cutest couple? Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss! #MotherOfStrowmans We're breaking down the comparison between scripted content and off-the-cuff reality content with WWE. Elias swings the crowd almost as well as Vince McMahon. #LikeableHeel It's time for this week's MayhemMania! What did YOU learn in wrestling this week? Thanks to Tonio Garza (@TheWRevolution) for putting together graphics for MayhemMania. Fan of the show, Brandon Mynat

It's a full house this week as we've got Sorg, Larry, Bobby, Mad Mike, Billy, and Mainstream Matt in studio. As a special treat, comedian Jaye Cooper joins us as we kick off Mayhem Mania! This week's show is packed. We're a few days removed from NXT Takeover, the Royal Rumble, and a host of other wrestling shows over the weekend - which means we have a TON to talk about:WMS The worst thing for Sorg - when he can't recognize local wrestlers in their street clothes. So much rumbling happened this weekend! We're giving our thoughts. Royal Rumble appearance of Rey Mysterio confused us after watching the last season of Lucha Underground. We have mixed reviews of the return of The Hurricane from Royal Rumble. We're crossing the wrestling streams because of NJPW, WWE, and IMPACT happenings and shuffles. We're fans of all kinds of wrestling. OH: I met him one time at a funeral... Welcome to Wrestle Kingdom two years ago WWE fans. The Women's Rumble exceeded many of our expectations. Sorg wants a Total Taker show with

We’ve got a special guest in studio this week as we’re joined by comedian Matt Light. And, there is a ton of stuff to talk about this week, including: Our guest Matt Light mixes wrestling with comedy. The best of both worlds. Larry has a foam finger – but not the finger you’re thinking… We are 1 degree of separation from Honky Tonk Man at this very moment. RVD has a comedy (?) show? So, RAW 25 happened last night. We’ve got plenty of thoughts. When Christian is compared to Marty Jannetty. We’re sharing some thoughts about the RAW 25 venue split and how WE thought it should have been done. The APA segments of RAW 25 made the night for most of us. Royal Rumble is this weekend. And, Dolph Ziggler is favored to win? Our guest Matt Light is calling it now – Dolph Ziggler comes out at #30 – – – to Daniel Bryan’s theme music. Sorg is waiting for Jason Jordan to snap. Mad Mike is waiting for a Shield break-up turn by Jordan, and Matt Light is just calling for him to get his future endeavored letter. Why did they not

The snow may be accumulating here in Pittsburgh, that won't keep us from podcasting! We've got "The Bearcat" Keith Haught, Mad Mike, and Rizz on remote with Sorg in studio manning the switcher as we talk about this week in wrestling: Mad Mike may have a shot at the WWE tagteam championship. He's telling us all about it. WWE has some new talent coming to the performance center, including some Friend of the Show nods! Mad Mike is calling for War Machine v. The Revival. We've got grins like it's Christmas morning over here. Keith Haught is putting over Ray Rowe as we're talking some of his history in IWC Wrestling. So, Stephanie McMahon tweeted about an RMU class here in Pittsburgh this week. RAW 25 is next week - and we're SO EXCITED! We're calling for Damien Sandow to come back as Damien Demento for RAW 25. Our favorite moment of the Braun Strowman rampage on RAW? Cake guy. With some of the recent news developments regarding WWE superstars, we're talking about how things have changed with how it's handled. Th

We've been doing this podcasting thing for 12 years, and we've got a special episode in store to mark the occasion. This week we're talking about: We've got Doc Remedy, Chad the Shad, and Steam Machine returning to the show for our 12th birthday! Steam Machine is the Undertaker of the Mayhem Show - only coming out for the big shows! We just mathed that we're as old as Wrestle Kingdom. We may or may not be going through the stories we touched upon 12 years ago during the infancy of our humble podcast. Doc Remedy is running down the who's who of who gave him chops for his birthday that one year. Remembering that we had WWE vs TNA green screen videos back in the day! Doc Remedy has, in fact, walked with Elias. Steam Machine: Chris Jericho is the diet cola of rock 'n rolla. Now that we're done reminiscing, we're recapping CURRENT wrestling to talk about our Wrestle Kingdom slumber party. Hearing Jim Ross try to pronounce Japanese names = Priceless. We've got FANMAIL....from April 21, 2009. What did YOU learn in w

This week International Wrestling Cartel commentator Farnsworth joins us to kick of 2018 in wrestling fandom!

What is the Mixed Match Challenge, and why is it on Facebook Watch? And how do I wear it? The Women's Royal Rumble is announced. But what would we like to happen in it? We discuss the recent Absolute Intense Wrestling show where Sid Vicious didn't show. And his reasons may not actually surprise you. We preview Wrestle Kingdom 12 and plan for our slumber party watch after deciding exactly which day it's on?

Things are getting a little mayhemmy for our year-end Christmas episode. We've even got our favorite imaginary friend in studio as we're joined by Billy Ruxpin! But, wait - there's more. We've pulled good ol' Dj Lunchbox off the shelf and dusted him off just for the occasion! WMS 600 This week we're not only recapping the week in wrestling - we're also recapping the year in wrestling. We've been doing this for 600 Tuesdays? Rizz is sharing some memories from his previous experiences for the STD Christmas episode. Dj Lunchbox has not been involved with wrestling in some time. This is the episode where we're getting him caught up on what's happened since his hiatus. What did YOU learn in wrestling this year? We're running through our predictions from last year - to see who got it right for 2017 before we make our predictions for 2018: 2018 WWE Predictions: Sorg: Enzo will be the UK Champion. Billy Ruxpin: Daniel Bryan will wrestle at Wrestlemania. (Against Kurt Angle?) LB: Something bad will happen with Kur

Marcus Mann can't seem to get enough of the mayhem. He made the trek back to the studio to join Sorg, Bobby F J-Town and Mad Mike for this week's episode. We had a lot to chat about, including: 205 Live is going to do house shows starting in January? On paper 205 Live is the best indy show ever. We need to see how it is in reality. Marcus Mann is educating us on the difference of a 205 Live show on TV versus live and how much better high flyers are live. Someone may have just compared Enzo to Eddie Guerrero. Marcus Mann is educating Sorg on Noam Dar and wrestling outside the US. We're reminiscing on that time when Rizz interviewed Pete Dunne. Just because we're not seeing people from CWC and Mae Young Classic popping up yet doesn't mean WWE lost their numbers. Just wait. Did you see DJ Z at a show - - - in a library? Jim Johnston was released from the WWE. We're sharing some thoughts. Since we've got Marcus Mann on the sofa, we're talking about the recent RYSE anniversary show. A Power Point presentation is

The Heir Apparent, Chris LeRusso, graces us with his presence this week! He is joined by Sorg, Bobby, Larry, and Mad Mike to talk this week in wrestling, including:WMS The most interesting news of the week - it's like a real life Sold Out, but it'll be better. Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks are booking their own show guys! We're talking some interesting speculations on this Cody Rhodes and Young Bucks show. It's amazing what difference seating arrangements can make for a wrestling show. Stephen Amell can do anything with wrestling, and we're okay with it. We're taking a bit of a deep dive into some thoughts on Delirious. Sooo....Absolution, huh? With the call-up, NXT has to restock. We have some thoughts. The 2018 PPV schedule has been released. There's some good news in this, guys. This week's Big Question: What is the match that made you feel the most awkward watching it? We realize there are a TON of circumstances in wrestling that are kinda awkward. What did YOU learn in wrestling this week? Fan of the s
