On this episode of the Smart Marks of Wrestling podcast, SmackDown closed with a shocker as Roman Reigns aligned himself with Paul Heyman. Days prior to the Payback pay-per-view on Sunday, what is Reigns doing and why, of all people, Heyman? We have some theories. 

We'll also talk the rest of the SmackDown show, the disaster that was Monday's episode of Raw and a few news items, including Kenny Omega getting caught on the ThunderDome screen Friday evening. 

On this edition of the Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, we talk Matt Cardona's AEW debut, his new contract and SmackDown's strange Fiend attack.

The former WWE Superstar known as Zack Ryder is now in AEW. But, for how long? There are some interesting terms to his contract that mean he might not be around all that long.

After touching on AEW, we look at a very interesting episode of SmackDown that included a singles push for Big E, title matches and one of the best closes to a blue brand show in some time.

On this episode of the Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, we look at Extreme Rules and the cinematic-style storylines, plus it was a big week for wrestling with Great American Bash, Fighter Fest, Fight for the Fallen, and Extreme Rules all happening in a matter of 14 days.

After looking at the week that was in wrestling, including a big Keith Lee victory to be crowned double champion and a teased Kenny Omega heel turn, Brandon and Jim break down the Extreme Rules card and make their predictions. How will the cinematic matches go? Will any titles change hands?

We talk FTR making waves in AEW already and whether or not they'll last in a tag division that isn't at all their style, plus we talk a little WrestleMania 37 news.

Enjoy and make your predictions with us!

On this week's Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, the first Raw post-Heyman, Backlash review, and is WWE an unsafe work environment?

Brandon and Jim pop back in for another podcast episode a little early, this time to talk the past 24 hours in WWE, which, to say the least, have been hectic. There was the news of a positive test case for COVID-19, the first Raw in almost a year without Paul Heyman at the helm, Christian returned, Edge injured and more.

Join us as we dissect the Backlash pay-per-view, talk the follow-up Raw, and take a look at the news and developments surrounding the COVID-19 diagnosis to one of the WWE Performance Center recruits.

On this edition of the Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, Brandon and Jim will revisit their AEW Double Or Nothing predictions while talking about the latest buzz surrounding FTR (The Revival). They'll also break down NXT In Your House slated for Sunday night, make their call and examine any news surrounding the show. 

On this edition of the Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, we talk AEW's Double or Nothing pay-per-view, news and rumors in WWE, and pay our respects to Shad Gaspard, who passed away at the early age of 39 this week.

After sending our respects to the Gaspard family and remember what he and Cryme Tyme brought to the industry of profressional wrestling, the conversation shifted to WWE news, including fallout from Money in the Bank. What will happen now and what about the biggest news that came after the show, Becky Lynch's pregnancy? We talk rumors she wrestled pregnant and shoot that down, shaming certain reports who had insane information.

From there Brandon and Jim focus on Otis' plans for the briefcase and finish with our AEW Double or Nothing predictions.

Including news and speculation surrounding the card, we talk Sting, Drew Gulak, Brian Cage and more.

On this episode of the Smart Marks of Wrestling podcast, we talk how Money in the Bank is shaping up, SmackDown hacker news, recent releases and more.

Money in the Bank is shaping up nicely and has become an interesting pay-per-view with the first-ever corporate ladder match that will see 12 competitors battle at the same time. How will WWE shoot this? What will the outcomes be? What about the other matches? We'll make our predictions.

We also talk more releases in WWE including Cain Velasquez, Curtis Axel, Gerald Brisco and we chat the hacker news from the SmackDown. Finally, we'l chat empty arena shows, the state of Florida possibly letting fans back into the arenas and whether or not WWE would be wise to move forward with that.

On the latest episode of the Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, Jim and Brandon rate WrestleMania 36 and talk news coming out of the event, cover all the latest on the WWE releases that took over the industry this week and remember legendary announcer Howard Finkel.

Going back a few weeks to talk WrestleMania, we discuss the show, the big matches, what news has come out of the event and where everything will go, including rumors about WrestleMania 37. From there, we focus most of the show on the cutbacks in WWE Wednesday and predict where some stars might wind up, including going to AEW or coming back to WWE.

Finally, we remember the late Howard Finkel as one of the best announcers in the world, not just in the wrestling business.

On the latest episode of the Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, we'll give our WrestleMania 36 predictions, factoring in the latest rumors.

What's going to happen at WrestleMania 36? There are some unique circumstances, unique matches and an unprecedented airing of the show over two nights. How will the COVID-19 virus change things? How will an empyty building change things?

On this week's episode of the Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, WrestleMania 36 has just been thrown into disarray. What's happening with the card?

From Roman Reigns pulling himself from the card to The Miz being sick and apparently having heat backstage because he showed up to work anyways, we take a closer look at all the changes that have apparently hit WrestleMania 36 this week.

We'll look at SmackDown and how it didn't address hardly any of the rumors and we'll talk other news, including AEW and WWE shows moving forward.
