Show Notes
The Wrestling Mayhem Show crew is back with Sorg, Rizz, and Mad Mike, joined by special guest Referee George Ross—and it’s a loaded week of wrestling talk.
First, the crew breaks down the weekend’s big talking points coming out of Elimination Chamber, including match reactions, what’s clicking (and what isn’t) on the road to WrestleMania, and how quickly the conversation shifts when a certain very-evil, very-nice wildcard shows up. Danhausen’s debut sparks debate about crowd reactions vs. internet reactions, plus what WWE can do with him now that he’s officially in the mix.
From there, the show bounces through the wider wrestling world: AEW chatter (including the crew’s love of social-media moments and crowd chants), AAA’s Rey de Reyes sword lore, and plenty of classic Mayhem tangents—including the important hard-hitting question of the week: what is the most hardcore ice cream?
Then Referee George Ross takes us inside his recent weekends in the trenches, including a deep dive into the world of CZW—from the 27th anniversary weekend and ultraviolence chaos, to why the company’s venue/schedule momentum feels genuinely exciting again (including the brewery “black light” shows).
The episode closes with a full “What We Learned” round—covering Danhausen-related life lessons, why you shouldn’t judge a two-minute moment before the follow-up, and Sorg’s backstage notes from New Japan Pro Wrestling work (yes, including the “New Japan is a slumber party” theory).
