The group shares how they’ve built an annual wrestling event from the ground up, combining event production, marketing, and community outreach into a hands-on student experience. Their upcoming show, Night of Reckoning, promises a stacked card, creative stipulations, and a strong charitable mission.

The conversation also dives into how wrestling fandom is evolving among students, with events like WrestleMania and AEW shows drawing new audiences.

Of course, things wouldn’t be Mayhem without chaos—Oliver’s strong dislike of Penta sparks a hilarious and heated debate that takes over the show.

Later, Mayhem Mania returns with one of the wildest rounds yet, featuring bizarre matchups, celebrity crossovers, and puppet-based wrestling concepts that somehow keep escalating.

This episode is a perfect mix of wrestling passion, community building, and pure mayhem.

Liberty L shares her powerful story of stepping away for therapy, returning with a new character, and her ongoing feud with Paris Sahara.

What We Learned: Card subject to change never fails, indie wrestling could shine while Mania is overseas, and Bayley Dent is the best thing going.

Todd DeFazio of Idiot Radio returns to the show this week. He is joined by Mad Mike, Mainstream Matt, Larry, and Sorg, as they're on the heels of Money in the Bank. This week's topics include:

Reading Rainbow meets Wrestling with Nino Wrestles the World.
Sorg may be cashing in MITB on Idiot Radio's belt.
NXT Takeover was this past weekend - a/k/a I'm sorry Sunday night show.
Matt likes NXT because it has a happy ending.
It was nice to see Daniel Eads make a cameo appearance (and get his butt kicked a little) on NXT Takeover.
NXT is like the Bachelor / Bachelorette party to the WWE marriage.
Big Cass and WWE are going their separate ways?
James Ellsworth returned - the highlight of MITB!
So....Rhonda Rousey, guys.
WWE is the equivalent of wrestling Walmart.
How do you know if you're in an abusive relationship with wrestling? Asking for a friend.
When it Reigns it bores! (Thanks for that one Idiot Radio!)
Sorg is thinking that this year's MITB (men's match) was solid. It pretty much had everyone expected to be in it, and it wasn't obvious who was going to win it.
Sorg is pitching Rhonda Rousey as the Andre the Giant of the current women's division.
In a time long, long away - in a galaxy far, far away, the UK Tournament is happening in some capacity.
Also - We're getting a NXT UK! Woooo!
The New Day took on The Elite for a Street Fighter battle at E3. It was as amazing as we could have ever hoped!
If anything happens to Xavier Woods in WWE, he's got a solid background to be a videogamer.
Sorg just did some math. There is 14 hours of new wrestling content - in the US - each week.
To clarify, we're talking Bubba the Bulldog, not Bubba the Love Sponge as an inspiration for Todd.
This week's Big Question: Along the lines of F**/Marry/Kill - If you could hire someone to WWE, fire someone from WWE, and return a WWE alum, who would your picks be?
Rusev Day happened to fall on Rey Mysterio Day!
We saw the obituary for El Jefe, and we're talking some Lucha Underground observations.
In Lucha Underground we trust!
What did YOU learn in wrestling this week?
Billed from the back of the Hot Topic, it's Aleister Black.
When you realize of the Enzo / Cass/ Carmella trio that Carmella is the one who's left behind - with Gold. *Mind Blown

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:

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.

Thanks to Mikey and Big Bob for giving us the perfect emotional response to the Nikki Bella and John Cena break-up.

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.
