Mid-card Mechanics

WrestleMania is in the rearview mirror! We talk about what we're looking forward to in 2019 (AEW) and we also might need a quick break from watching wrestling. You probably know what we're talking about.

WrestleMania has come and gone! We look back on NXT Takeover, G1 Supercard, and the Showcase of the Immortals. Did it turn out to be the week of too much wrestling? Tune in to find out!

This week, we saw Ring of Honor live in Baltimore on the Road to the G1 Supercard, saw SmackDown Live in Baltimore on the Road to WrestleMania, and we also watched John Oliver's show. And we still have NXT Takeover and the G1 Supercard to look forward to. Oh, and almost eight hours of WrestleMania! What a week, and it's just getting started!

We don't always open the show by covering Randy Orton's theme, but I think you'll be glad we did. What a rough week to be a WWE fan! Is it time for the Road to the G1 Supercard yet?

We're on the road to the Week of Too Much Wrestling! So much to get to. Let's get to it.

Holy smokes, we've made it to 30 episodes. That's one episode for each listener! 30 episodes, 25 days until WrestleMania, 2 days until ROH's 17th Anniversary PPV... tune in this week for these and other numbers.

It's time for Fastlane, which is both a fast lane and somehow also the last stop on the Road to WrestleMania (point at the sign)

The gang's all here! Kat and Sophia join the podcast and we're all bursting with WrestleMania season energy! Plus: Maisie the Dog falls asleep again.

It's the battle of the ages: the corporate shill vs the misguided indie wrestling hipster

We're on the road to WrestleMania as fast as the car can go, never checking the rearview mirror for cops! Next stop: Elimination Chamber 2019!

We're on the road to WrestleMania and we've got the pedal recklessly to the metal! NXT Halftime Heat was awesome, plus there was also some other wrestling! We talk about some of it!

Mauro Ranallo is a treasure. Here's a link to the video we talk about. Promise us you'll watch it even if you don't listen to this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcuoufV1144

Professional wrestling is America in microcosm. You have the billionaires at the top, making everyone else reach for imaginary brass rings. You have the young upstarts looking for better ways to run a promotion and help improve the industry as a whole, while the ones in power feel threatened and try to buy them or destroy them. I guess what we're trying to say is that IT'S TIME FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE, BABY!

We're only a week and a half away from the Road to Wrestlemania and we're already talking about match of the year.

Road to Wrestlemania season arrives one week too early! What a week to be a wrestling fan. All members of The Elite mysteriously lost at Wrestle Kingdom 13! AEW made some big new announcements! And we watched parts of Raw and SmackDown, featuring Hulk Hogan. Eesh!

All Elite Wrestling is official. Mean Gene has left us to do commentary for that big gimmick match in the afterlife. And we're on the road to Wrestle Kingdom 13. And we didn't watch much wrestling over the break. Plus: we have a ring bell now!

Maybe we should give up on RAW and SmackDown for the rest of the year and watch NXT and ROH instead. I mean, we'll watch TLC. We wouldn't miss that triple-threat match with Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Asuka. We're not monsters.
