Wrestling Mayhem Show 613: The Haunted Ovaries of Mae Young

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 talking about which ones we see winding up as the main event.
More Brain Strowman please!
It’s officially MayhemMania time. Since it’s the last show before WrestleMania it’s time for Patreon in the Bank!
We are eliminating the hell out of Randy Orton in this segment of MayhemMania.
Apparently there’s not enough carnage on our MayhemMania card?
AJ may have just booked a MayhemMania match with a Hair vs Hair match of RAW v Smackdown women.
Matt has a MayhemMania list of cast-offs in a Cleveland cup. It seems so appropriate as our punishment options.
We’ve had so many changes to the MayhemMania card that we need to have a refresher halfway through to clarify what we’ve even booked.
Billy is using his god-like power as a Pizza Club Patreon supporter to blow this MayhemMania card up.

Thanks to Tonio Garza (@TheWRevolution) for putting together graphics for MayhemMania.

Wrestling Mayhem Show 600: 600 Tuesdays

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!

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.

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 got some opportunities to see some great matches that we normally haven’t seen at Survivor Series.
Paul Heyman is an Evil Genius.

Wrestling Mayhem Show 576: Long Time Host, First Time Listener

We’ve got Larry, Dudders, Chad the Shad and Mad Mike in studio for Wrestling Mayhem Show 576. And, if you pay attention to this week’s host, you’ll notice we’ve replaced Sorg with our very own Mayhem Mania correspondent and friend in the mainstream media – Matt. Our wrestling-loving crew is talking about what’s happening in pro wrestling this week, including:

Sorg looks a little different this week…
What happened this week in wrestling? We share our thoughts!
We have some mixed thoughts on Money in the Bank. And, some thoughts from Dudders representing a ladies’ opinion on ladies.
Is Dudders wo-mansplaining Money in the Bank?
As the FIRST Women’s Money in the Bank, did WWE do it right?
How do you lead a Women’s Revolution and have a dude grab the briefcase in your FIRST women’s Money in the Bank?
We’ve moved on from Money in the Bank to the Smackdown Live redo for the women’s match redo.
Does WWE not understand that the rules have changed with regard to what’s acceptable for women’s wrestling?
Bayley was a great womens wrestling example, because she was a real woman – not someone stylized to be objectified.
Maria made a return to the WWE, and was celebrated by objectified photos.
Should Carmella’s reaction to Ellsworth retrieving the Money in the Bank briefcase have been more intense about a guy stepping in?
We’re thinking Carmella will be throwing Ellsworth into the fray and taking the opportunity to get the Money in the Bank.
The Carmella and Ellsworth spot was perfect – just not for the timing.
In case you missed it, Enzo and Big Cass broke up, this week.
We feel that WWE does not believe in real friendship.
Vince McMahon’s heart is as black as coal.
We love us some Corey Graves.
Thanks Tina for the Corey Graves puppet master angle with Big Cass.
Did you know David Otunga is filming a movie?
Sharing some thoughts on who would make good WWE commentators.
We got to see The Revival, guys!
Mad Mike is pitching an Enzo v. Cass match for Summer Slam.
This week’s Big Question: Who will dethrone Asuka’s reign?
We’re calling it now: Asuka vacates the title and winner of the Mae Young Classic picks it up.
Can we get Ronda Rousey v Asuka?
Asuka is the Braun Strowman of the NXT Women’s Division.
We’ve moved on to some Roman Reigns match/competitor discussion. We have some thoughts.
Matt is ruining Sorg’s ass groove.
It’s a Sorgabration!
