Rob Johnston joins us to talk about some Dojo Pro wrestling. He, of course, is joined by our usual stable of ne'er-do-wells including Sorg, Dave Podnar, and Alex Kahrs as they talk this week in wrestling, including:

That's right, we've kidnapped Rob Johnston from the AwesomeCast podcast so we can talk Dojo Pro (among other things).
Extreme Rules was in Pittsburgh, and we are once again reminded why we can't have nice things.
Sorg was so close at Extreme Rules that he almost took a pancake to the face.
Dave heard Steelers chants come through the TV feed for Extreme Rules. Sorg recalls no such chants. Were they piped in? Hmmm.
Things we are thankful for - The Roman Reigns v Bobby Lashley match didn't follow the Iron Man Match at Extreme Rules.
We didn't see Elias in his hometown for Extreme Rules - despite the obvious Pittsburgh references throughout.
Sorg is sad he didn't get an awesome Shinsuke v Jeff Hardy match.
THE CROWD GOT KICKED IN THE BALLS BY SHINSUKE!
Rob can FEEL the wrestling in Nashville.
We're taking a few moments to remember Bruno Sammartino and the history of wrestling.
Speaking of our guest, Rob, it was great seeing him being pushed around in the ring on a Dojo Pro video on Facebook.
Rob Johnston is talking about some of the fun with Dojo Pro.
The biggest message from Rob Johnston - Dojo Pro is bingeable!
Rob has some thoughts on Joey Janela.
It's convenient that we're talking with Rob Johnston on THIS episode.
Rob had a chance to speak with Hulk Hogan a few years back.
Hulk Hogan is not the same as Terry Bollea. It's important to make separations between characters and people.
Some heels get crap from fans for being heels, then Kevin Owens gets the spotlight at a Shania Twain concert.
This week's Big Question: Which wrestling superstar needs to release an album next?
Mad Mike couldn't be here this week - so he sent a Mad Mike Mail!
eFeds are a thing Alex Kahrs is explaining to us.
Sorg is headed to the Gathering of the Juggalos, and he'll be seeing some interesting wrestling.
Joey Janela is apparently facing John Cena at the Gathering of the Juggalos.

It’s a full house (of sorts) as we’re joined by MaxXouT heading into the Millvale Music Festival in a couple of weeks. They are joined by Sorg, Larry, and Mad Mike this week as we talk about: WMS

Sorg is reminiscing about that time he directed Virgil for a music video with our guests MaxXouT.
Imagine trying to do some work in a professional setting and getting a dude calling you and yelling wrestling stuff into the phone. cough Virgil cough
MaxXouT has a Jake the Snake story, too?!?!
When you realize your wrestling connection with MaxXouT gets even tighter when they went to an IWC show you worked.
MaxXouT is kicking around the idea of having Virgil help with their merch table at the Millvale Music Festival.
The greatest of Royal Rumble events happened.
Thanks to Larry for being our Middle East correspondent helping us keep things straight for the Greatest Royal Rumble.
We touch on some of the politics involved with the Greatest Royal Rumble.

We have a full studio this week as we're joined by Mambo Italiano and Calvin Couture of Golden Chic International. As for the mayhem crew, Mad Mike has returned from WrestleMania, and Sorg and Larry are keeping our guests company in Sorgatron Media studio as we talk about:

Mad Mike is getting us all caught up on his visit to WrestleMania. WMS
If Mambo Italiano is The Miz, does that make Calvin Couture the Miztourage?
What do you get when you have some former WWE stars at a local high school? IWC Wrestling Night of the Superstars! (So we're going to take a moment to talk about some great moments from the show.)
Mambo Italiano appreciated some quality time with Mark Henry, while Calvin Couture had a moment with Jack Swagger at Night of the Superstars.
The BIG news in WWE is the Superstar Shakeup. We caught the RAW shakeup last night, and are catching the Smackdown shakeup results as we're recording this week's podcast.
Mad Mike is suffering from some TNA PTSD with this Superstar Shakeup.
Is Jeff Hardy angling for a Hell in a Cell spot?
It would be more efficient to let us know who's staying where during the Superstar Shakeup.
Dear WWE - Give us visuals on this Superstar Shakeup and tournaments. The NCAA does well with March Madness for a reason. ;)
Now we're on to the big news in WWE this week - the John Cena and Nikki Bella break-up.
Thanks to Mikey and Big Bob for giving us the perfect emotional response to the Nikki Bella and John Cena break-up.
The Miz and Maryse played the long-game in their feud against Nikki Bella and John Cena.
With everyone headed to Smackdown are they going to stretch it to a third hour?
The Greatest Royal Rumble is the same day as The Avengers?!?!?! collective mayhem happy dance
We've found Brock Lesnar's weakness - pancakes.
We're talking about X-Pac's dog!
We're talking a little bit of IMPACT.
Mad Mike loves him some Brian Cage.
The key is to have creativity with just the right amount of a leash from management.
Part of the problem with non-WWE wrestling today is getting yourself out there for your audience to find you.
This week's Big Question: Now that John Cena and Nikki Bella’s engagement is officially off, who will be the rebound?
When Carson Daly becomes relevant during a wrestling discussion.
Mambo Italiano had a moment with Honky Tonk Man a month(ish) ago.
