  <itunes:subtitle>WWE and AAA are becoming increasingly intertwined, and Sorg, Mad Mike and TruePrinceofPro (T-Pop!) are here to figure out what it all means.

This week, the crew breaks down the AAA tournament leading to a shot at Roman Reigns in Mexico City, debates WWE’s presentation of AAA talent and gives Corey Graves credit for doing his homework. Then it’s over to AEW and CMLL for Grand Slam Mexico, the massive CMLL Grand Prix and the growing network of partnerships connecting wrestling promotions around the world.

Closer to home, we recap 2PW Summer Showdown, check in on 880 Wrestling’s Lethal Lottery, preview Enjoy Wrestling and announce Mikey Montgomery vs. Justin Idol in a Video Game Match at Sorgstock.

Plus, CM Punk and Kevin Owens turn real history into wrestling television, Chelsea Green’s injury, Johnny Gargano’s family situation, Big Man Tater, Tatum Paxley, Roddy Piper memories and another round of “What We Learned.”</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Wrestling Mayhem Show dives deep into the increasingly interconnected world of professional wrestling as &lt;strong&gt;Sorg, Mad Mike, and TruePrinceofPro (T-Pop!)&lt;/strong&gt; tackle WWE’s growing relationship with AAA, AEW and CMLL’s continued collaboration in Mexico, the expanding wrestling landscape in Canada, and plenty happening right here in Pittsburgh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The crew starts with WWE’s AAA crossover and the tournament determining who will challenge &lt;strong&gt;Roman Reigns in Mexico City&lt;/strong&gt;. Penta, Laredo Kid, Psycho Clown, La Parka, Dragon Lee, Rey Fenix and more enter the conversation as the hosts debate whether AAA wrestlers are being presented strongly enough on WWE television. They also give Corey Graves credit for putting in the work to explain AAA history and wrestlers to WWE’s broader audience—even while questioning the remote commentary setup being used for AAA programming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From there, the conversation heads to &lt;strong&gt;AEW Grand Slam Mexico and CMLL&lt;/strong&gt;, including the incredible atmosphere surrounding the crossover shows, Adam Copeland checking another item off his wrestling bucket list, the unique Bandido/Brody King/Hangman Page trio, and the wild format of CMLL’s massive Grand Prix match. T-Pop explains how the elimination format works and why Mexican wrestling continues to offer something structurally different from American wrestling television.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The expanding wrestling TV universe also gets examined through &lt;strong&gt;Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, MLW, NWA, AEW, ROH and CMLL&lt;/strong&gt;. How important is immediacy in wrestling? Does a show lose momentum when its television is months behind the live tapings? And why does wrestling remain such attractive television programming compared with scripted productions?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the local front, there is plenty to celebrate. The crew looks back at &lt;strong&gt;2PW Summer Showdown&lt;/strong&gt;, including the delightfully unexpected blindfolded Lights Out match, Gianni Michael Emricko and Gorgeous Gregory challenging The Troublemakers for the NWA JCP Southeastern Tag Team Championship, and developments surrounding 2PW’s championships. There are also updates from &lt;strong&gt;880 Wrestling’s Lethal Lottery&lt;/strong&gt;, Prospect Pro Wrestling, Enjoy Wrestling and the upcoming Sorgstock.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And speaking of Sorgstock: &lt;strong&gt;Mikey Montgomery vs. Justin Idol in a Video Game Match&lt;/strong&gt; is officially on the card for August 28. What exactly is a Video Game Match? Apparently, you’ll have to be there.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then things get personal with &lt;strong&gt;CM Punk and Kevin Owens&lt;/strong&gt;. The hosts revisit their complicated history, the real-life stories wrestling fans are already resurfacing, and why these two could create weeks of compelling television without needing to throw a single punch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Plus: Chelsea Green’s injury, Johnny Gargano stepping away amid a difficult family situation, wrestling trading cards raising money for the Cauliflower Alley Club, Big Man Tater and his microwave helmet, Tatum Paxley arriving on SmackDown, Mickey Knuckles coming to VCW, and Sorg’s reflections after finishing a book about Rowdy Roddy Piper.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s another trip through the increasingly strange, global and wonderfully interconnected world of professionalized wrestling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;News Stories &amp;amp; Topics Discussed&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;WWE and AAA expand their crossover:&lt;/strong&gt; A tournament featuring talent from WWE and AAA will determine a challenger for Roman Reigns in Mexico City, with Penta, Laredo Kid, Psycho Clown, La Parka, Dragon Lee, Rey Fenix and others discussed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Is WWE protecting AAA enough?&lt;/strong&gt; The hosts question why AAA talent is frequently introduced to the Raw and SmackDown audience without being allowed to score important victories.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Dominik Mysterio as AAA Mega Champion:&lt;/strong&gt; The contradiction between Dom holding AAA’s top championship and AAA wrestlers sometimes feeling secondary on WWE television becomes a major point of discussion.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Corey Graves and AAA commentary:&lt;/strong&gt; T-Pop and Sorg praise Graves’ knowledge and enthusiasm while examining the awkwardness created by remote commentary involving Rey Mysterio and JBL.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;AEW Grand Slam Mexico:&lt;/strong&gt; The Arena Mexico atmosphere, Mexican audience participation, Adam Copeland’s appearance and AEW leaning into its CMLL relationship all get praise.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;CMLL Grand Prix explained:&lt;/strong&gt; T-Pop breaks down the enormous elimination match and its rotating tag structure, including why it feels so different from the usual American multi-person match.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;AEW/CMLL/ROH relationships:&lt;/strong&gt; The hosts appreciate AEW’s willingness to work across promotions rather than trying to isolate its roster.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling:&lt;/strong&gt; The Canadian promotion’s weekly television presence is discussed along with Mauro Ranallo’s commentary and the opportunity created by changes in WWE’s Canadian distribution.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;MLW and NWA tape delays:&lt;/strong&gt; Sorg and T-Pop talk about how months of unaired matches can reduce urgency even when the actual wrestling remains enjoyable.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;The economics of wrestling television:&lt;/strong&gt; A discussion of live wrestling production leads to appreciation for how much WWE and AEW accomplish every week and why wrestling remains appealing programming for broadcasters.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;2PW Summer Showdown:&lt;/strong&gt; The hosts recap the show, including championship developments, the blindfolded Lights Out match and Some Guy Named John’s spectacular elbow drop to absolutely nobody.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Gianni Michael Emricko &amp;amp; Gorgeous Gregory:&lt;/strong&gt; Their NWA JCP Southeastern Tag Team Championship match against The Troublemakers is part of the 2PW recap.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;880 Wrestling Lethal Lottery:&lt;/strong&gt; T-Pop likes the unusual team of Dev Swayze and Tatiana, while Sammy Suntimer’s attempts to bond with Marco Narciso become a source of amusement.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;2PW Friday Night Frights:&lt;/strong&gt; The October 23 Halloween event and an announced casket match are previewed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Enjoy Wrestling’s anniversary:&lt;/strong&gt; Lee Moriarty vs. Amazing Red is singled out as a match worth watching.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Sorgstock announcement:&lt;/strong&gt; Mikey Montgomery faces returning Pittsburgh wrestling favorite Justin Idol in a mysterious &lt;strong&gt;Video Game Match&lt;/strong&gt; on August 28.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens:&lt;/strong&gt; The hosts love the early verbal confrontation and dig into some of the genuine history that can add another layer to the feud.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Chelsea Green injured:&lt;/strong&gt; Her orbital-bone injury leads to speculation about recovery time and whether it should affect her championship status.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Johnny Gargano:&lt;/strong&gt; The conversation turns serious while discussing Gargano stepping away to focus on his father during his battle with stage-four prostate cancer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Pittsburgh wrestling trading cards:&lt;/strong&gt; Falcom Digital Imaging’s cards and wrestling-related fundraising lead into recognition of efforts benefiting the &lt;strong&gt;Cauliflower Alley Club&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Big Man Tater:&lt;/strong&gt; A gigantic Vader-inspired independent wrestler who enters wearing a microwave becomes an immediate Mayhem Show obsession.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Tatum Paxley:&lt;/strong&gt; Her SmackDown arrival has Mad Mike excited about the potential for increasingly spooky developments.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;MPX “Who Runs the World”:&lt;/strong&gt; The chat points out the stacked women’s wrestling event featuring a wide range of notable talent.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Mickey Knuckles headed to VCW:&lt;/strong&gt; A breaking local wrestling announcement gets an enthusiastic reaction.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Roddy Piper:&lt;/strong&gt; Sorg discusses finishing the Piper book assembled after his death and reflects on the difference between Roddy Piper the character and the person underneath it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;“What We Learned” Breakdown&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T-Pop:&lt;/strong&gt; Sometimes the best way to introduce someone is simply to unleash them as a monster. He highlights the AAA debut of a WWE/LFG talent who attacks Psycho Clown, tears away part of his mask and chokeslams him onto a chair. The presentation immediately makes the newcomer feel dangerous.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mad Mike:&lt;/strong&gt; It was apparently a tremendous week for &lt;strong&gt;tater-related professional wrestling&lt;/strong&gt;. First comes &lt;strong&gt;Big Man Tater&lt;/strong&gt;, a giant Vader-inspired wrestler who enters with a microwave on his head. Then there’s &lt;strong&gt;Tatum Paxley&lt;/strong&gt;, whose SmackDown arrival has Mike eagerly anticipating where her character could go next.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sorg:&lt;/strong&gt; Finishing the &lt;strong&gt;Rowdy Roddy Piper&lt;/strong&gt; book helped reconnect dots between moments Sorg remembered as a fan and the life happening behind them. He particularly reflects on Piper becoming so immersed in the wrestling character that separating “Roddy Piper” from the person himself became difficult, while also remembering his wife getting a chance to meet one of her childhood wrestling heroes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From the chat:&lt;/strong&gt; Mercedes Moné’s wrestling anniversary gets recognized, along with excitement over MPX’s upcoming women-focused &lt;strong&gt;Who Runs the World&lt;/strong&gt; card. &lt;/p&gt;

<li>  <strong>Johnny Gargano:</strong> The conversation turns serious while discussing Gargano stepping away to focus on his father during his battle with stage-four prostate cancer.</li>
<li>  <strong>Pittsburgh wrestling trading cards:</strong> Falcom Digital Imaging’s cards and wrestling-related fundraising lead into recognition of efforts benefiting the <strong>Cauliflower Alley Club</strong>.</li>
<li>  <strong>Big Man Tater:</strong> A gigantic Vader-inspired independent wrestler who enters wearing a microwave becomes an immediate Mayhem Show obsession.</li>
<li>  <strong>Tatum Paxley:</strong> Her SmackDown arrival has Mad Mike excited about the potential for increasingly spooky developments.</li>
<li>  <strong>MPX “Who Runs the World”:</strong> The chat points out the stacked women’s wrestling event featuring a wide range of notable talent.</li>
<li>  <strong>Mickey Knuckles headed to VCW:</strong> A breaking local wrestling announcement gets an enthusiastic reaction.</li>
<li>  <strong>Roddy Piper:</strong> Sorg discusses finishing the Piper book assembled after his death and reflects on the difference between Roddy Piper the character and the person underneath it.</li>
</ul>

<h2>“What We Learned” Breakdown</h2>

<p><strong>T-Pop:</strong> Sometimes the best way to introduce someone is simply to unleash them as a monster. He highlights the AAA debut of a WWE/LFG talent who attacks Psycho Clown, tears away part of his mask and chokeslams him onto a chair. The presentation immediately makes the newcomer feel dangerous.</p>

<p><strong>Mad Mike:</strong> It was apparently a tremendous week for <strong>tater-related professional wrestling</strong>. First comes <strong>Big Man Tater</strong>, a giant Vader-inspired wrestler who enters with a microwave on his head. Then there’s <strong>Tatum Paxley</strong>, whose SmackDown arrival has Mike eagerly anticipating where her character could go next.</p>

<p><strong>Sorg:</strong> Finishing the <strong>Rowdy Roddy Piper</strong> book helped reconnect dots between moments Sorg remembered as a fan and the life happening behind them. He particularly reflects on Piper becoming so immersed in the wrestling character that separating “Roddy Piper” from the person himself became difficult, while also remembering his wife getting a chance to meet one of her childhood wrestling heroes.</p>

<p><strong>From the chat:</strong> Mercedes Moné’s wrestling anniversary gets recognized, along with excitement over MPX’s upcoming women-focused <strong>Who Runs the World</strong> card.</p>]]>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Pro wrestler &lt;strong&gt;Gianni Michael Emricko&lt;/strong&gt; joins Sorg, Rizz and Mad Mike for an episode packed with WWE SummerSlam reactions, Pittsburgh independent wrestling news and a spoiler-heavy trip through &lt;em&gt;Spider-Man: Brand New Day&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The crew opens by asking a surprising question: Was SummerSlam more enjoyable than WrestleMania? They examine a second night filled with fan-service moments, major returns and championship developments. Topics include Chelsea Green’s victory, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns seemingly closing another chapter of their shared history, CM Punk versus Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens returning to the championship picture, Nick Aldis stepping back into the ring, Dominik Mysterio’s success in AAA and WWE’s evolving relationship with lucha libre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gianni also receives some major news live on the show. His scheduled match at Prospect Pro Wrestling has changed, and he and Gorgeous Gregory will now challenge &lt;strong&gt;The Troublemakers for the NWA JCP Tag Team Championship&lt;/strong&gt;. Gianni responds with an impromptu message for the champions and explains why the Italian Strongman plans to bring NWA gold home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The conversation then turns toward Gianni’s recent match with EFFY at 880 Wrestling, his growing list of appearances throughout the region and the practical lessons he has learned while building his wrestling career. His advice is simple: get in the car, attend shows, help with the ring and production, introduce yourself and become someone promoters and wrestlers enjoy having in the locker room.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorg also reveals new details for Sorgstock, including a surprising battle between Psychedelic Dreams members Sammy Suntheimer and Billy the Alien, plus wrestling-theme music from Sykes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After an official spoiler warning, the crew dives deeply into &lt;em&gt;Spider-Man: Brand New Day&lt;/em&gt;. Gianni gives the film a 9.6 and calls it one of the most authentically Spider-Man stories yet. The discussion covers Peter Parker’s stripped-down life, the introduction of Jean Grey, Punisher’s role, mutant technology, the Hulk battle, Ned’s potentially significant handshake, Miles Morales speculation and possible connections to &lt;em&gt;Secret Wars&lt;/em&gt; and the wider multiverse.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The episode closes with the viral video of Beastman and Sam Adonis helping break up a festival fight, followed by “What We Learned,” where Mad Mike argues that WWE is misunderstanding the basic appeal of Joe Hendry.&lt;/p&gt;

News Stories and Topics Discussed

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;The original Mayhem crew reunites:&lt;/strong&gt; Sorg welcomes Rizz and Mad Mike, with early conversation covering Mad Mike’s LEGO Soundwave set, teaching and the increasingly responsible lives of the show’s longtime hosts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;SummerSlam versus WrestleMania:&lt;/strong&gt; The panel considers whether SummerSlam delivered a more consistently entertaining weekend than WrestleMania.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;WWE production mistakes:&lt;/strong&gt; A misspelled commercial-break graphic launches a discussion about live production errors, unrealistic expectations and why even major companies make visible mistakes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;SummerSlam’s fan-service-heavy second night:&lt;/strong&gt; Chelsea Green’s title victory, Baron Corbin’s return and Kevin Owens reentering the championship picture make Sorg wonder whether someone secretly used his fantasy booking.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Chelsea Green’s championship moment:&lt;/strong&gt; The crew celebrates Green’s victory, the reaction from her fellow wrestlers and how her success contrasts with comments discussed from &lt;em&gt;WWE: Unreal&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Hell in a Cell:&lt;/strong&gt; The match’s violence, ring destruction and feud-ending atmosphere are praised as an effective use of the stipulation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns:&lt;/strong&gt; The match is viewed as a possible closing chapter for The Shield, with particular interest in what comes next for Seth and a more independent Roman Reigns.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar:&lt;/strong&gt; Gianni offers a wrestler’s perspective on the decision not to perform a dangerous spot directly onto exposed wood.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Roman Reigns and AAA:&lt;/strong&gt; Roman’s interaction with Rey Mysterio creates fantasy-booking possibilities involving TripleMania, Worlds Collide, Penta, Jacob Fatu and The Lucha Brothers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Solo Sikoa’s changing audience reaction:&lt;/strong&gt; The hosts discuss how the SummerSlam build helped Solo emerge as an entertaining and increasingly sympathetic figure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Dominik Mysterio’s popularity:&lt;/strong&gt; The panel argues that Dominik feels like a major star in AAA and deserves a larger, more consistent role on WWE programming.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Nick Aldis versus Gunther:&lt;/strong&gt; Aldis’ return to the ring impresses the crew and sparks speculation about a longer in-ring run or a future match with Adam Pearce.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;CM Punk versus Cody Rhodes:&lt;/strong&gt; The match receives a more measured defense than some online reactions, while Kevin Owens’ return sets up a potentially excellent microphone-driven rivalry with Punk.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Nikki Bella’s heel turn:&lt;/strong&gt; A possible injury to Brie Bella leads to fantasy booking involving Paige, AJ Lee and a potential legends-focused WarGames match.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Liv Morgan versus IYO SKY:&lt;/strong&gt; The opening match and its finishing sequence are highlighted as one of the weekend’s strongest performances.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;SummerSlam attendance and location:&lt;/strong&gt; The crew discusses tarped seating, the lack of a public attendance announcement and whether Minneapolis was an ideal destination for a major summer wrestling event.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Sorgstock announcement:&lt;/strong&gt; Sammy Suntheimer will face his Psychedelic Dreams partner Billy the Alien, raising questions about tension inside the team.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Gianni’s championship opportunity:&lt;/strong&gt; Gianni and Gorgeous Gregory will challenge The Troublemakers for the NWA JCP Tag Team Championship at Prospect Pro Wrestling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Gianni’s live promo:&lt;/strong&gt; The Italian Strongman immediately delivers a message promising that the NWA championship will not remain on Glenn Spectre’s shoulder.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Wrestling EFFY at 880 Wrestling:&lt;/strong&gt; Gianni explains how the crowd quickly sided with EFFY, forcing him to adjust and embrace being the heel during the match.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Breaking into new wrestling promotions:&lt;/strong&gt; Gianni recommends traveling, introducing yourself, helping with setup and stepping outside your normal comfort zone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Locker-room reputation:&lt;/strong&gt; Being positive, safe and helpful can be as important as social-media numbers when promoters decide whom they want to book again.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Avoiding unhealthy environments:&lt;/strong&gt; Gianni explains that a negative locker room—or a place where he does not feel safe in the ring—is unlikely to receive a return visit.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Spider-Man spoiler discussion:&lt;/strong&gt; The crew praises the film’s grounded version of Peter Parker, swinging sequences, action choreography and emotional tone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Jean Grey and the mutants:&lt;/strong&gt; The movie’s mutant storyline leads to discussion of Jean Grey, Phoenix references, inhibitor technology and the future of the MCU’s X-Men.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Punisher’s role:&lt;/strong&gt; The panel examines Punisher’s hospital scenes, his public identity and how he fits into a world where Spider-Man has regained public support.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Ned and Peter’s handshake:&lt;/strong&gt; The hosts debate whether Ned consciously remembers Peter or simply feels a lingering connection that he cannot explain.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Miles Morales and the multiverse:&lt;/strong&gt; Potential clues are connected to &lt;em&gt;Beyond the Spider-Verse&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Doomsday&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Secret Wars&lt;/em&gt; and the possibility of Miles eventually entering live action.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Marvel physical media:&lt;/strong&gt; Mad Mike displays elaborate Marvel and Harry Potter box sets, prompting nostalgia for collector editions filled with props, files and hidden compartments.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Additional movie discussion:&lt;/strong&gt; The crew briefly reviews &lt;em&gt;Backrooms&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Obsession&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Eternals&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;New Mutants&lt;/em&gt;, the Fox X-Men films and the Spider-Man video games.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Beastman goes viral again:&lt;/strong&gt; Video from Tacos and Tequila shows Beastman and Sam Adonis helping break up a real fight, inspiring the suggestion that venues should hire Beastman as security.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

What We Learned

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sorg:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Never start a fight when Beastman is nearby. After watching the viral festival video, Sorg’s larger conclusion is that Beastman may be the most effective security option available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gianni Michael Emricko:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Gianni learns the full details of his changed Prospect Pro Wrestling match during the episode. He and Gorgeous Gregory are receiving an NWA JCP Tag Team Championship opportunity, and Gianni confidently predicts that Glenn Spectre will not leave with his championship.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mad Mike:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
From &lt;em&gt;Spider-Man: Brand New Day&lt;/em&gt;, Mike learns that it is okay to be sad. From wrestling, he learns that WWE appears confused about Joe Hendry. He argues that Hendry’s entire presentation is built around “say his name and he appears,” yet WWE repeatedly brings him out without anyone saying his name, cuts away from his entrance and presents his musical segments more like Elias. Mike believes this removes the elements audiences are already excited to see.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rizz:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Rizz does not give a separate standalone lesson in the closing segment, but contributes to the discussion about WWE failing to preserve the established logic and audience appeal of Joe Hendry’s character. &lt;/p&gt;

<li>  <strong>Breaking into new wrestling promotions:</strong> Gianni recommends traveling, introducing yourself, helping with setup and stepping outside your normal comfort zone.</li>
<li>  <strong>Locker-room reputation:</strong> Being positive, safe and helpful can be as important as social-media numbers when promoters decide whom they want to book again.</li>
<li>  <strong>Avoiding unhealthy environments:</strong> Gianni explains that a negative locker room—or a place where he does not feel safe in the ring—is unlikely to receive a return visit.</li>
<li>  <strong>Spider-Man spoiler discussion:</strong> The crew praises the film’s grounded version of Peter Parker, swinging sequences, action choreography and emotional tone.</li>
<li>  <strong>Jean Grey and the mutants:</strong> The movie’s mutant storyline leads to discussion of Jean Grey, Phoenix references, inhibitor technology and the future of the MCU’s X-Men.</li>
<li>  <strong>Punisher’s role:</strong> The panel examines Punisher’s hospital scenes, his public identity and how he fits into a world where Spider-Man has regained public support.</li>
<li>  <strong>Ned and Peter’s handshake:</strong> The hosts debate whether Ned consciously remembers Peter or simply feels a lingering connection that he cannot explain.</li>
<li>  <strong>Miles Morales and the multiverse:</strong> Potential clues are connected to <em>Beyond the Spider-Verse</em>, <em>Doomsday</em>, <em>Secret Wars</em> and the possibility of Miles eventually entering live action.</li>
<li>  <strong>Marvel physical media:</strong> Mad Mike displays elaborate Marvel and Harry Potter box sets, prompting nostalgia for collector editions filled with props, files and hidden compartments.</li>
<li>  <strong>Additional movie discussion:</strong> The crew briefly reviews <em>Backrooms</em>, <em>Obsession</em>, <em>Eternals</em>, <em>New Mutants</em>, the Fox X-Men films and the Spider-Man video games.</li>
<li>  <strong>Beastman goes viral again:</strong> Video from Tacos and Tequila shows Beastman and Sam Adonis helping break up a real fight, inspiring the suggestion that venues should hire Beastman as security.</li>
</ul>

What We Learned

<p><strong>Sorg:</strong><br>
Never start a fight when Beastman is nearby. After watching the viral festival video, Sorg’s larger conclusion is that Beastman may be the most effective security option available.</p>

<p><strong>Gianni Michael Emricko:</strong><br>
Gianni learns the full details of his changed Prospect Pro Wrestling match during the episode. He and Gorgeous Gregory are receiving an NWA JCP Tag Team Championship opportunity, and Gianni confidently predicts that Glenn Spectre will not leave with his championship.</p>

<p><strong>Mad Mike:</strong><br>
From <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day</em>, Mike learns that it is okay to be sad. From wrestling, he learns that WWE appears confused about Joe Hendry. He argues that Hendry’s entire presentation is built around “say his name and he appears,” yet WWE repeatedly brings him out without anyone saying his name, cuts away from his entrance and presents his musical segments more like Elias. Mike believes this removes the elements audiences are already excited to see.</p>

<p><strong>Rizz:</strong><br>
Rizz does not give a separate standalone lesson in the closing segment, but contributes to the discussion about WWE failing to preserve the established logic and audience appeal of Joe Hendry’s character.</p>]]>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by Slice on Broadway, Occupy Pro Wrestling, and Indy Wrestling US!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;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.
What did YOU learn in wrestling this week?
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorg has been enjoying the Bugs Bunny cartoon that is Kevin Owens and Braun Strowman on RAW.&lt;br&gt;

Chris LeRusso is sharing some thoughts on bad finishes - especially when the match is pretty hot (until the end).<br>
When you're doing your job so well that they have to dial it back?<br>
Chris LeRusso is comparing a great wrestling match to great sex.<br>
Bobby is ruining hypothetical sex on the show.<br>
Mad Mike is sharing some thoughts on Bayley having to go to counseling.<br>
Did you guys see (all of) Charlotte Flair this week?<br>
Thanks to our friend Daniel Tiger for hitting us up with some Mayhem Voicemail! His question - Which feud would you like to see go on forever?<br>
We're learning about that time Joe Dombrowski had a fireball in a back seat of a car.<br>
We're getting some insight into Chris LeRusso's character development.<br>
Ring of Honor WAS going to do a show at MSG.<br>
Blackcraft's Burning Bridges show in Pittsburgh has officially sold out.<br>
Joey Janela is getting lost in New York.<br>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;We’ve got a special guest in studio this week as we’re joined by comedian Matt Light.  And, there is a ton of stuff to talk about this week, including:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our guest Matt Light mixes wrestling with comedy. The best of both worlds.&lt;br&gt;
Larry has a foam finger – but not the finger you’re thinking…&lt;br&gt;
We are 1 degree of separation from Honky Tonk Man at this very moment.&lt;br&gt;
RVD has a comedy (?) show?&lt;br&gt;
So, RAW 25 happened last night. We’ve got plenty of thoughts.&lt;br&gt;
When Christian is compared to Marty Jannetty.&lt;br&gt;
We’re sharing some thoughts about the RAW 25 venue split and how WE thought it should have been done.&lt;br&gt;
The APA segments of RAW 25 made the night for most of us.&lt;br&gt;
Royal Rumble is this weekend. And, Dolph Ziggler is favored to win?&lt;br&gt;
Our guest Matt Light is calling it now – Dolph Ziggler comes out at #30 – – – to Daniel Bryan’s theme music.&lt;br&gt;
Sorg is waiting for Jason Jordan to snap. Mad Mike is waiting for a Shield break-up turn by Jordan, and Matt Light is just calling for him to get his future endeavored letter.&lt;br&gt;
Why did they not have Jerry Springer on RAW 25 with a “You are not the father!” spot with Kurt Angle and Jason Jordan.&lt;br&gt;
We’re takling about who we want to win the Royal Rumble this year and who we think will win.&lt;br&gt;
Mainstream Matt is calling for an Elias Money In The Bank win – so we can have an MITB guitar case!&lt;br&gt;
Nia Jax v. Asuka can be this generation’s Andre v. Hogan.&lt;br&gt;
Will AJ Styles v. Sami and KO match be the comedy match for Royal Rumble?&lt;br&gt;
Science: Shane McMahon cannot win a Royal Rumble match because he goes to the top rope too much.&lt;br&gt;
Will we see Karma for the Women’s Royal Rumble?&lt;br&gt;
We found some Friend of the Show folks by searching their names on the WWE Network.&lt;br&gt;
This week’s Big Question: What is the future of 205 LIVE?&lt;br&gt;
Abeyance is the new 205 LIVE champion! Woooooooo!&lt;br&gt;
NXT Takeover is coming up soon. We’re sharing some thoughts.&lt;br&gt;
What did YOU learn in wrestling this week?&lt;br&gt;
Fan of the show, Brandon Mynatt, will be a participant in the 2018 Special Olympics as part of the Team Missouri Bowling Team.

&lt;p&gt;AJ Styles v Brock Lesnar? Thank you WWE.&lt;br&gt;
Does this mean we'll see AJ Styles v Shinsuke Nakamura for Starrcade?&lt;br&gt;
Survivor Series 2017 - we're talking some of our predictions and speculations.&lt;br&gt;

Garza is talking some New Japan and Chris Jericho v Kenny Omega.&lt;br&gt;
So - we're getting something we normally don't get on the show. That's right, we're talking some Impact Wrestling.&lt;br&gt;
Apparently Alberto El Patron's promo was just weird.&lt;br&gt;
Impact Wrestling has a casting call for paid background actors?&lt;br&gt;
We go from Impact Wrestling to booking nostalgia matches (The Rock v Triple H or Triple H v Kevin Owens?).&lt;br&gt;
Triple H with The Shield = Perfect&lt;br&gt;
It's time for this week's Big Question: What would your Wrestle Kingdom dream match be?&lt;br&gt;
We have e-mail! (Kinda.)&lt;br&gt;
Stephen Amell is going to ROH?&lt;br&gt;
There was an intergender match tonight?&lt;br&gt;
Pete Dunne v Enzo Amore? Larry is confused, but okay with it.&lt;br&gt;
