Wrestling Mayhem Show

He's no Paul Heyman, but we can afford his booking fees! That's right, Church makes the drive to the new studio to join us on the big purple couch. He joins Larry, Chad, and Sorg to talk this week in wrestling, including: Larry is ready to jump right in with some War Games discussion! So wait - NO ROOF for War Games? Larry was impressed with Velveteen Dream during War Games. Of course Sorg is talking about the video implications involved with War Games. As crazy as War Games is - remember that Arn Anderson has been involved in 18 of them. Wondering what we're talking about? WWE has a War Games section on the WWE Network. Check out some of the NXT talent you're seeing on WWE - quite a few of them have some great content on the Indy Wrestling scene. We enjoy watching Booker T because it reminds us of Drunk Uncle Booker. We're talking some Survivor Series! Survivor Series became Bragging Rights. Shield v New Day match made us feel pretty good. Shinsuke having a chance to lock up with HHH was pretty awesome. We

BC Steele is in studio with us this week! He is joined by our usual cast of characters – Sorg and Larry. And, hot off his video game weekend for Extra Life, Bobby F J-Town is live via the internets as we talk this week in wrestling, including: Survivor Series – something we always seem to forget about until it’s upon us. WWE is stepping up their game with Survivor Series by calling in some big names to be in-ring with the brand split. There is buzz around this year’s Survivor Series – some good; some bad; but, legit buzz. We’re breaking down some AJ Styles v Brock Lesnar. What talent does WWE have in the pipeline to sustain them 5 years from now? This may be the oldest Survivor Series talent line-up. The Shield vs The New Day – We’re looking at a potentially good tag match. We’re calling a Kurt Angle singles match by Wrestlemania. Anyone else notice that WWE uses their own terminology – like “local medical facility” and “title held in abeyance?” The Charlotte v Alexa Bliss match has the potential to steal t

It's a full show this week as we've got Old School Burt LeGrand in studio with Sorg and Larry. As a special treat, we've got Tonio Garza joining us online, and Mad Mike makes a stop by in the second half. They're talking this week in wrestling, including: AJ Styles v Brock Lesnar? Thank you WWE. Does this mean we'll see AJ Styles v Shinsuke Nakamura for Starrcade? Survivor Series 2017 - we're talking some of our predictions and speculations. Burt is calling for an in-ring return of Daniel Bryan? Garza is talking some New Japan and Chris Jericho v Kenny Omega. So - we're getting something we normally don't get on the show. That's right, we're talking some Impact Wrestling. Apparently Alberto El Patron's promo was just weird. Impact Wrestling has a casting call for paid background actors? We go from Impact Wrestling to booking nostalgia matches (The Rock v Triple H or Triple H v Kevin Owens?). Triple H with The Shield = Perfect It's time for this week's Big Question: What would your Wrestle Kingdom dream matc

It's Halloween, which means we've got a full show of mayhem and shenanigans in store. As a special treat, we're joined by The Reaper Matt Conard! Matt, Sorg, Larry, Mad Mike, and Rizz bring us this week's wrestling news and insights, including: We've got Matt Conard in studio - on Halloween. And, he's dressed up -- as a normal guy? It's Halloween! Sorg celebrated appropriately with some Halloween Havoc. A WCW show for Halloween? Of course the ring would catch fire, guys. Thank you RAW for giving us Southpaw Regional Wrestling characters in-ring! We're talking about some of our favorite Halloween matches. True story: Matt Conard once wrestled with a pumpkin on his head. WWE let Emma go this week - and Summer Rae was also let go? Mad Mike may need a support group. We're sharing thoughts on where Emma Summer Rae and Darren Young should go next. 25 Years of RAW in NYC? Mad Mike will be checking it out and giving us updates! Somebody asked HHH about a return of Great Khali? Rizz is ecstatic with his response. Th

Marshall “The Bull” Gambino made his triumphant return to the show. He has a special treat for us with the recently reinstated High Stakes Championship belt. Otherwise, we’ve got Chad “the Enzo” with him on the sofa, Matt Carlins, Mutilator Larry, and Sorg. They’re bringing you this week’s wrestling news and insights, including: The champion of champions is back – and Chad the Shad is starting the top of the show – as Chad the Enzo. Sorg has unearthed Larry’s hatred for Kalisto. Enzo brings Chad the most joy each week. The rest of us are Power Point enthusiasts thanks to Drew Gulak. We’re talking some TLC changes – and there’s a difference of opinions. So, Braun Strowman got murdered at TLC – and the fans are the ones that called it out? Survivor Series is coming up, and Mad Mike has some speculations as to who we could see. AJ Styles and Finn Balor made the TLC changes amazing! Thank you William Regal for telling us about storytelling in the ring. Marshall is talking about how nice it is to remember where

We’ve got a super special guest in studio this week – so super it’s even in his name! Super Hentai is on the sofa with Mainstream Mat. Sorg is on the switcher. And, we’ve got Mad Mike on the interwebs as we’re talking all the things in wrestling, including: Matt can’t take Bray Wyatt anymore. We’re getting a professional opinion from a professional wrestler about Bray Wyatt with our guest Super Hentai. Dear WWE: Give us a Bray Wyatt 180 as a southern preacher like Jake the Snake with his white snake days. Mad Mike is upset that Kurt Angle talked through the sierra, hotel, India, echo, Lima, delta part of the Shield’s entrance theme. WTH WWE? 5 on 3? Really? Mad Mike wants Asuka v EVERY WOMAN. Matt wants Asuka v Emma. We may or may not be discussing Marshall Gambino’s favorite Disney character. Congrats to Britt Baker on the Pitt News article and Parts Unknown appearance. Super Hentai is talking about the great talent that has come through Pittsburgh. This week’s Big Question: Which current wrestler could r

The Rev Ron Hunt FINALLY made it into the studio. He's joined by Chad the Shad, Mutilator Larry, and Sorg in studio. Rizz makes his triumphant digital return to the show as well. We're talking all the things in wrestling, including: We're talking some Hell in a Cell at the top of the show. Our in-studio guest, Ron Hunt, is talking about some of the crazy matches he's seen/been part of. When you're in a cell (cage) it's like being in a jail cell. Hype Bros are still together because they're too hype to be broken up. Shane's elbow-to-eye coordination is off. Falls count anywhere doesn't mean the ref goes anywhere to make that count. Ron Hunt is weighing in on his thoughts about pacing in professional wrestling. We're talking some teeth knock-outs. Briscoe Bros top the list. Wrestlers have to learn when and where to go all in for their spots. Can't do it all the time without consequences. The Shield reunited. But, so did Dana Brooke and Emma! It's no longer "PPV" events, they're "special" events. We're talkin

We've got Honey Badger in studio before her Indy Mayhem Show recording - and she fits right in with this week's crew. Chad - donning the Enzo hair, Sorg, and Larry are in studio. And, we've got Mad Mike on the line from his bunker in New York. We're all talking this week's wrestling updates, including: Fan of the show, Brandon Mynatt, will be a participant in the 2018 Special Olympics as part of the Team Missouri Bowling Team. (Donate at: http://give.somo.org/site/TR?px=1073149&fr_id=1190&pg=persona) There's a PPV this weekend?!?! Honey Badger is giving us a tutorial on the Wall of Death. We're petitioning Alex Miller to get a WMS tattoo since he's getting a tattoo anyway - while listening to the show. Is Miz putting Cesaro in a movie as bootleg Jason Statham? Wait! Canadians are the ones trying stab people? We're discussing the McMahon family workout plan in this segment. Shane McMahon is badass. He no-sold a helicopter crash. Does Enzo have Virgil syndrome where he's going to lay claim to doing things he

We’re back to our usual stable of Sorg, Chad the Shad, Mutilator Larry, and Bobby F J-Town as we talk this week in wrestling, including: Our guest tonight, The Rev, upped the call-in-sick ante to call off tonight’s show by burning stuff down. Friend of the show, Brandon Mynatt, will be a participant in the 2018 Special Olympics as part of the Team Missouri Bowling Team. (Donate at: http://give.somo.org/site/TR?px=1073149&fr_id=1190&pg=persona) Enzo dropped some truths, but it’s bringing some attention to 205 Live. WWE wanted us to hate Dolph Ziggler so much that they took away what we loved most to make it so. Bobby is a fan of sleep-deprived Neville. We’re talking the importance of cutting promos and not taking things personally. Cody Rhodes reciting Independence Day won the internet last night. Bullet Club and Cody Rhodes stalking RAW a la DX was phenomenal, guys! We may or may not be spinning a DDP Yoga show. Big Show cannot make Big Showberfest? And, it’s now Yes Yes Yes Fest? head scratch We’re finally g

The Locked 'n Loaded best-dressed guest ante has been accepted and upped. This week, we've got IWC rookie Calvin Couture in studio, and he brought his A-game, replete with his bow tie and sequinned jacket. He outshines, almost literally, our crew of Sorg, Chad the Shad, Mutilator Larry, and Bobby F J-Town as we talk this week in wrestling: There's a WWE pay-per-view this weekend! (And, we're going to play some video games.) So John Cena and Roman Reigns? What was with Roman Reigns pulling out Rock v John Cena promos? Chad is sharing some thoughts about how good WWE teams are these days. When's the last time we saw a rivalry for something other than a belt? Are we setting up a Wyatt Family v Club feud? Putting it here so it's in writing: Someone just threw out Goldust as Finn Balor's dad. Are we going to see an Emma win? Apparently WWE broke Jordan and Gable up too soon. Why?!?! We need some Surf Dudes With Attitudes in WWE. Starcade is happening? Is there a chance we'll see Cody Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes tea

We’ve got Jinx on this week as we watch the final match of the Mae Young Classic. She joins Billy, Chad, Rob, Mad Mike, and Sorg as they talk about the Mae Young Classic and some of the other crazy stuff that happened this week in wrestling: We have Jinx talking some Mae Young Classic with us. Seemed better than having dudes talk ladies. We’ve got some thumbs-up for the Mae Young Classic as Jinx shares her thoughts as a wrestler. We had some concerns about the Mae Young Classic contestants, but it turned out really well. We’re digging the WWE partnerships giving us access to some great talent like WWE UK with Progress and ICW. Has NXT outgrown its purpose as WWE developmental to the point we need new developmental options? Day one is h? The Bankruptcy Court of Owls announced a streaming service for $7.99? So, TNA accidentlally released their entire library for free? Apparently Jinx looks for “TNA” on the deep dark web. Is she talking TNA or T-N-A? TNAnonymous “Where on Shawn Michaels” did they steal your smil

This week we’ve got a drastic night-and-day difference from last week, but it’s a great show with Shirley Doe joining us in studio. Between the amazing stories and his great personality, we could go on talking about wrestling all night. Thanks to Producer Missy for keeping the mayhem under control as much as she can this week as she’s wrangling Sorg, Rob, Mad Mike, Chad the Shad, and Larry as they talk about all the things in wrestling this week, including:WMS We’ve been doing this for 586 nights? Wow. If you haven’t seen the Mae Young Classic, shame on you! Your penance is to not listen to the show (yet). Larry is sharing how his thoughts on the Mae Young Classic changed from Round 1 to Round 2. We have some shared thoughts on the Mae Young Classic Round 1 matches. Shirley Doe wrestled Lita? The things we learn on this show! If you’re curious about where we are in the wrestling timeline, two words: Essa. Rios. We found Rizz a new best friend!!! You know you have the right crew of people when your conversatio

We've got the best-dressed tag team champions, Locked 'n Loaded in studio this week. Duke Davis and Ganon Jones, Jr. are on the sofa and our in-house 205 Live correspondent takes up a seat next to Producer Missy. Of course Sorg is on the switcher making all the magic come together as we talk about what happened this week in wrestling, including: TriplemaniaXXV was this weekend, and we've got some big news we're touching on. We've moved beyond the fact that wrestling streams on Twitch, and are at the heart of the Sexy Star situation. Our guests Locked 'n Loaded are weighing in - from a wrestler standpoint about the Sexy Star situation. Would the Sexy Star situation not have blown up as badly if she had owned up to it? As much focus as we've put on Sexy Star, we can't forget about how this impacts Rosemary. Despite what people think about him, John Cena is an all-time mic assassin. Even though it was a John Cena win in the words battle, Roman Reigns still played a role. The Mae Young Classic happened, guys. W

It's been an interesting week in wrestling, and it's getting more interesting as we're joined by Greg Ochaba of the 501st Garrison Carida. It's a full house in studio with our guest Greg-O, Chad the Shad, Rizz, Matt Carlins, and Sorg. We've go tons to talk about after this weekend in wrestling - not to mention this week in wrestling, including: We may have an almost unnatural love of The Savage Stash. SummerSlam was this weekend, and we have some mixed thoughts. WWE did their impression of an indy wrestling show at the beginning of SummerSlam. Who didn't appreciate the shark cage twist with Enzo lubing up and slipping out? Thanks to Dave Podnar for pointing out smaller entrances may be saving money for WrestleMania production. While many watched NXT Takeover, some of us were at IWC Caged Fury. We're talking about some new factions, including an Honor Society angle. The worsk NXT Takeover is not a bad show. If there are differing wrestling styles can you consider them competitors? (Lucha Underground is differe

It's our SummerSlam Eve show, and we've got Sorg, Chad the Shad, Larry, and Mad Mike on air talking some wrestling. We have a lot to talk about, including: MutilatorLarry is back! Unfortunately there's no Magnum CK in studio tonight - BUT, he WILL be in studio on Friday for an Indy Mayhem recording. Sorg did something else, guys. www.pittsburghwrestling.com There's A LOT of wrestling in the Pittsburgh area. Mad Mike missed Smackdown Live because he was busy slinging toys. (Likely story.) Because Mad Mike missed Smackdown Live, we just broke his heart telling him about the Jinder/Cena/Corbin ender. SummerSlam's this weekend. Maybe we should share some things about that? Samoa Joe has finally hit his stride on RAW. It looks like we're headed for another shake-up given the shenanigans and weird stuff, right? Looks like Adam Cole is headed to NXT. We have a new toy alert from Mad Mike - an entire WWE Women line of action figures. #MadMikeApproved Bray Wyatt may not win many matches, but he does a great job puttin

We’ve got Katie Arquette as our in studio guest this week. She chats with Chad and Sorg locally, with Mad Mike and Rizz on the internets. Of course we’re talking about what’s happening in wrestling these days, including:WMS All red everything is gone, and we’re using the Mayhem Show as a support group. NXT needs some love since they’re bumping people up to the main roster. So, Ellsworth was back tonight. Does that mean his suspension is done already? Mad Mike is calling for Big Cass to show up on Smackdown and kick Ellsworth’s butt to steal Carmella back. Have you guys seen the Titus Worldwide press conferences?!?! Chad is campaigning for Titus O’Neil Presents 205 Live. Sorg has to unfollow Lana on Instagram. Chad “Those pictures are very American.” Mad Mike gets his Smackdown news from names he sees screamed through social media. So, there’s apparently another statue of Bruno Sammartino, like the theme statues you see around town. We’re campaigning for a SummerSlam at Heinz Field. Anyone notice how awkwardly

They haven't kicked us out of the new studio space, so we're back for the second week from our digs on Broadway Avenue. This week Sorg, Larry, Rob and Bobby are joined by Billy Ruxpin to chat about what’s happening in wrestling:WMS If you stopped watching RAW at 10:15, you were good to go. RAW was in Pittsburgh last night. Yep. We were there. MizTV and Jason Jordan are topping the show chatter tonight. Best part of the Kurt Angle and Jason Jordan visit to Pittsburgh could have been the very Pittsburgh family aspect. Larry is calling for a DNA test error angle with Kurt Angle and Jason Jordan. John Cena and Shinsuke Nakamura? We enjoyed it, but it was obvious Cena is heading out to do some stuff. Jinder and Shinsuke. Larry is calling for a cash-in after the match. We're actually happy to see big guys beating the crap out of each other! We're actually discussing things commentators say during matches. If you're going to piss JBL off, it's best to do it on air apparently. Enzo isn't liked because he's Enzo 24/7

It's the first Wrestling Mayhem Show in the new studio! Sorg, Mad Mike, Rizz, Rob, Larry and Chad the Shad get together to reminisce about our time in the studio and to talk about what’s happening in wrestling these days: WMS580We chat with an excited Rizz about the return of The Great Khali!

It's the last Mayhem Show in the Mayhem Studio. But, before the crew moves to the new studio, we've got one last hurrah for Wrestling Mayhem Show 579. Sorg, Chad, Larry, MadMike, Matt, Bobby, and a special birthday boy (Rizz) get together to reminisce about our time in the studio and to talk about what's happening in wrestling these days: Mad Mike is the Center Square. There's a PPV this weekend guys! Rizz is so happy about the Punjabi Prison Match. It's like WWE knew it was his birthday! Is it "poops" "liver enzyme" or "steroids?" We're not sure what we're talking about either. More stipulations? Larry is calling out John Cena on his geography. All you need to know is John Cena and Ruzev and you'll be okay. Is The Rock running for President? Are we getting a Shinsuke v. AJ Styles match in our future? The mayhemmers are weighing in. We're running down the WWE-related people who are running for various offices these days. More than we realize. Nakamura v. Corbin in a hair-vs-hair match? We may be playing Holly

We’ve got Sorg, Larry, and Chad the Shad in studio this week, and they're joined by some very special guests! That's right, we've got Lee Moriarty and Shawn Phoenix sitting on the couch for Wrestling Mayhem Show 578 as the crew talks what's happening in pro wrestling this week, including: Great Balls of Fire was this past weekend! Did it live up to the hype? We're talking about the Stomp Out Cancer show (Saturday, July 15th) to support the American Cancer Society. We watched the Kurt Angle: Homecoming WWE 24/7. Did Larry cry? This week's big question is "Who Does Kurt Angle Love?" AJ Styles wins the US Title at a Madison Square Garden house show. Brock Lesnar on a hot mic scares censors. Austin Aries is gone from WWE! What did YOU learn from wrestling this week? Follow our stable on Twitter: Sorg (@Sorgatron), Larry (@MutilatorLarry), Chad the Shad (@ChadTheShad), Lee Moriarty (@apexofcombat), and Shawn Phoenix (@xShawnXphoenix).
