Wrestling Mayhem Show 876: What’s Chicago Without Jack Perry

This week’s episode brought to you by Indy Wrestling US, Slice on Broadway, Sidekick Media Services and listeners like you at www.Patreon.com/WrestlingMayhemShow 

Step into the ring with your hosts Michael “Sorgatron” Sorg and Mad Mike as they body slam through the week in professional wrestling on the Wrestling Mayhem Show. This high-flying episode packs a punch as Sorg and Mike grapple with the sad passing of Bray Wyatt and Terry Funk, giving some gnarly memories of the legends. The duo also hypes up the crowd for the All In pay-per-view, chops it up about the epic 80,000+ attendance, and debates whether the back-to-back pay-per-view schedule will lead to a knockout or tap-out.

Turning up the heat, Sorg and Mike dive into the drama surrounding CM Punk before hitting a flying elbow drop on reviewing recent matches in NXT and Impact Wrestling. They even hint at some bodacious surprises coming up that will leave fans begging for a three count. Can All Out continue the momentum from All In? Will CM Punk appear in Chicago? Tune in as Sorg and Mike lace up their boots, step into the squared circle, and layeth the verbal smackdown for another wildly entertaining episode of the Wrestling Mayhem Show!
