Wrestling Mayhem Show 631: Carmella Monster Truck

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 in the octagon does not have the same reaction as putting an MMA fighter in the ring.
Matt Riddle gets to do what he loves – wrestling.
Speaking of the women’s Evolution, Ronda Rousey is going to make an impact.
You can’t discredit someone’s natural abilities.
Alexa Bliss vs Trish Stratus at Evolution? We. Can’t. Wait.
NXT Takeover Brooklyn happened. We’re sharing our thoughts.
The Savage Gentleman and Lady Frost are sharing how much they LOVED the first match of NXT Takeover Brooklyn.
Different kinds of wrestling are like different flavors of ice cream. Everyone has their own preferences.
Settling an in-house debate: Do you watch Facebook videos with or without sound?
Table for 3 is all about Twitter. Mayhem Show is all about Facebook.
Velveteen Dream going totally Rick Rude with his “Call Me Up Vince” tights = Priceless.
We’re pretty much learning that what’s old is new again.
We’re talking some Ciampa v Johnny Gargano from NXT Takeover Brooklyn.
Demon Balor on SummerSlam seemed to go over more for the ladies than the gents.
So….Baron Corbin.
WWE is getting super techy with their 3D integrations.
This week’s big question: What is your dream match for WWE Evolution?
There’s a wrestling show coming up with a new group in town with Blackcraft Wrestling. Our guests the Savage Gentleman and Lady Frost will be on the show, and they’re telling us all about it!
The Savage Gentleman might be cutting a promo on the show?
Lady Frost and the Savage Gentleman are sharing some happenings from their recent travels.
What did YOU learn in wrestling this week?
Shout out to Brutal Bob Evans from our in-studio crew. <3

WWE is trying to turn Ronda Rousey into Batman.
Happy Birthday Johnny Gargano!
How did Kairi Sane go from yacht enthusiast to pirate?
Sorg is learning how to pronounce Ciampa.
We are commissioning Mad Mike to check out wrestling – – ON A BOAT this weekend.
Joey Janela is getting Lost in New York Friday night.
We are going to live vicariously through fan of the show, Alex Miller, for his Jericho Cruise and Lost in New York adventures.
Make sure you have 7 hours set aside for Summerslam! And, lots of coffee.
We’ve got some mixed thoughts about the status of Brock Lesnar’s title reign after Summerslam.
This week’s Big Question: What is the perfect match?
We have come to the conclusion that Elias is too good at what he does.

We’ve got a special treat this week as we’re joined by Wrestle Zone’s Ross Berman! He is joined by our in-studio guest Jaye Cooper, as well as our usual group of wrestling fans with Sorg, Larry, and Bobby. This week’s topics include:

Ross has been covering the Colt Cabana and CM Punk trial. We’ve got him on the podcast to share a little bit of what he’s been seeing.
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 to American and European audiences.
Money in the Bank is just around the corner – as in THIS WEEKEND. We’re sharing some thoughts and speculations.
AJ Styles v Nakamura for Money in the Bank? WWE is doing the same stuff we’d be seeing in New Japan!
Has anyone checked to see if Brock Lesnar is still alive? We haven’t seen him in a couple months.
We’re making some Money in the Bank predictions.
The sons of IRS are facing each other, and we’re pretty excited about it.
This week’s big question: If you had the ability to give a Money in the Bank briefcase to ANYONE in wrestling, who would it be?
NXT Takeover is ALSO this weekend. We’re sharing some thoughts and predictions.
OH: Lars Sullivan is great! I want to see him win the title at a house show!
Lars Sullivan is what Snitsky should have been.
What did YOU learn in wrestling this week?BONUS: Recommendation from our guest, Ross Berman: Check out David Starr v Mike Quackenbush if you get a chance.

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.
What did YOU learn in wrestling this week?

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

Heading to WrestleMania? If you see a Mayhemmer, say hi! If that Mayhemmer’s Mad Mike, give him a chop and send us a pic or video clip. We’ll include it on next week’s show!

We’re takling about who we want to win the Royal Rumble this year and who we think will win.
