Well this is an announcement from Kayhan. I’m taking back control of my show. This AI experiment didn’t work out. We’ve lost countless subscribers and the ratings are in the tank. Like literally the drizzling goddamn shits. That goddamn stupid cheap fuckin’ Chinese AI really set this show back and put us in a hole.

I don’t feel great about killing the business and talking it about it like it’s fake bullshit, but I can’t just let the show I started die. Luckily by the greatness of Vlad “The Wrestling Expert” and Robert “The Frozen Asian” kept the show afloat. But it’s a new day and I’m back. So here we go.

We just got done with WresteMania. It’s like the start of a new season. We got bloodline fallout, as Solo Sikoa is disobeying tribal chief orders. What is gonna happen?

For WWE, we cover Smackdown from April 12 & Raw from April 15. Smackdown featuring the Bloodline angle continuing without Roman Reigns, and Raw with a featured Intercontinental Title Match.

Also, we haven’t covered AEW for the past few weeks, with the buildup to WresteMania taking most of our attention. But also the AEW shows have been taking a beating from the critics. We gotta check in on this shit. We’re doing AEW Dynamite from April 17, 2024.

We have The Wrestling Expert and The Frozen Asian on the show to review the epic attitude era style beat down the Rock laid on Cody Rhodes on the March 25, 2024 edition of Monday Night Raw. As Cody's war with the Bloodline is winding down to the WrestleMania rematch for the Universal Title against Roman Reigns, The Rock is going to assert his new authority in WWE and show Cody that him and his cousins are in charge.

Also, CM Punk is months away from returning from injury, but appeared in his home town of Chicago. Things got testy between him and Drew McIntyre, before Seth Rollins joined the party.

Unfortunately The Frozen Asian wasn't able to make our recording this week, so we've postponed our 100th episode celebration extravaganza until next week so hopefully he can join us. But this week we do have Vlad "The Wrestling Expert" in da house to discuss the goings on in the world of wrestling. Classic line-up from the first episode of the Malapart Smark Podcast, just Kayhan & Vlad today...

With WrestleMania just a couple weeks away, Cody & Roman had their final face-off before the WWE Championship showdown. Jimmy & Jey Uso also set thier brother versus brother match in stone.

And although it's WrestleMania season, we have to keep an eye on our little friends over at AEW. We've been keeping track of how their newest star signing is panning out, as Mercedes Mone is already in a little feud with Julia Hart & Skye Blue, not to mention some new drama sprouting up with Willow Nightingale.

But the money match this week was the latest chapter in the saga of Edge v Christian. This time an "I quit" match. Will someone really quit or is there just going to be a murder? If you'd like to catch up on all of Christian & Edge in AEW, check out the playlist we mentioned on the show with our past coverage of the feud since the beginning:
