Mid-card Mechanics

This was a rough week to be a wrestling fan, a human with an immune system, or a member of society. But we're taking deep breaths and trying the best we can.

Black lives matter! AEW and WWE expressed support for the protests for racial justice in America. Guess which company seemed to have the most genuine response!

Another episode coming out a little bit late! AEW Double or Nothing was fantastic. AEW is fantastic. Is there any wrestling better than AEW? No. We're the AEW Mechanics at this point.

Oh, it's a good one this week!Money in the BankBaby SeckyThe WWE Intercontinental ChampionshipLuck v McMahonKarl Anderson and FTR on BTEDouble or Nothing

Money in the Bank preview (even though MITB has already happened, sorry)! Plus: dogs, politics, and coronavirus!

It's our 70th episode and our fifth episode while social distancing. We don't have to tell you what it's like.

WrestleMania was not too big for one night.

We're still self-isolating and not going crazy even a little bit!

Like all good patriots, we're still self-isolating to keep our communities safe. And also like all good patriots, we're still podcasting about pro wrestling!

We're doing the show from two different locations this week! If the coronavirus isn't going to stop WrestleMania, it's sure as hell not going to stop us!

It's like the Superstar Shakeup, except it's our podcast and we're changing the title! Over the coming weeks we'll continue to bring you our famous brand of insightful commentary on pro wrestling, politics, and the many ways they connect (though we wish they wouldn't). Plus: pee-pee jokes!

It's Royal Rumble and impeachment season! They each had a lot in common. Too much in common.

The Bash at the Beach went out to sea for a Rock 'n' Rager and the whole thing looked kind of exhausting. I don't think you read these descriptions, do you, Ronojoy? Ryan?

It's 2020 and we're back into the swing of watching AEW! Featuring special guest Kat (AKA Dundalk Diane)!

It's 2020! Can you believe it? We've taken a break from watching wrestling so we catch up on what we've missed. Plus: we've each picked our favorite match from 2019!

It's our last episode of the year! We look back at some of our favorite matches of the year and realize it's hard to pick just one. What a year to be a wrestling fan!

CM Punk has returned in the least-interesting and least-dramatic way possible. Hooray! Mark and Gavin catch up on that and the rest of the wrestling news from the past couple weeks and look forward to Survivor Series.

We're back, and hoo boy there was a lot to cover! AEW Full Gear came to our hometown of Baltimore, NXT and WWE are crossing over, and Survivor Series is coming up. Plus: impeachment hearings through the lens of pro wrestling! Oooooh yeah!

AEW continues to be everything we've ever hoped for when it comes to pro wrestling. And NXT's not bad either! We've stopped watching the main roster altogether. Do we miss it? What are we doing now that our Monday nights have freed up?
