Wrestle Buddies

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! WWE 2K22 is real and we've seen the first footage from it. In this mini episode, Mat and Chris break down what we saw, what we didn't see, and what it all means. Plus, we recap making charcuterie boards with Bianca Belair and Drew McIntyre this week, which was legitimately the cutest thing of all time.

Wrestlemania week is here and we're kicking things off with a full episode of predictions. After all, the biggest show of the year is actually two shows once again and there are so many matches to dig through. What will be the best match? How good is the overall card? Why does Mat have a robot that loves wrestling? These are all things we're covering this week.

We're a couple of weeks out from Wrestlemania, so it's time to sit back and enjoy some hot wrestling talk with none other than WWE superstar and one half of the Raw Tag Team Champions, Xavier Woods. The man also known as Austin Creed stops by to talk about the showcase of the immortals, UpUpDownDown, the rise of Big E on Smackdown, and so much more.

This week, Mat and Chris can see the future! Well, they can predict the future. As total wrestling video game nerds, we look ahead at the next couple of years of video game titles from WWE and AEW, as well as a couple of very exciting independent games. Did you know WrestleFest has an official sequel? It does, even if we're not sure how it's official! Plus, we blaze through a bunch of listener questions and have an intense discussion about hot dogs.

This week we look back on the most important feud in modern pro wrestling history. We are, of course, talking about John Cena vs. K-Fed. That's right, remember when the WWE Champion fought Britney Spears' husband? It happened and we're obsessed with it. Plus we introduce a new segment. Are you ready for Pitchfest 2000?

Mat and Chris are here a bit early this week to talk about WWE Fastlane, the last stop on the road to Wrestlemania (which isn't real). Who's going to win? Who's going to lose? Who's going to stall until Wrestlemania? We talk about it all in this mini-episode and will be back Thursday with a full episode.

This week, we look back at the finger poke heard around the world. Remember when Hulk Hogan won the WCW title (again) by simply tapping on Kevin Nash? The whole thing is far weirder than you remember and we're going into detail. Then, it's WBF time as we look back at the strange history of Vince McMahon's bodybuilding venture, the World Bodybuilding Federation. From the creation of "bodystars" to the time the bodybuilders fought WWE wrestlers on an episode of Family Feud, there's a lot to dig through.

It was us, Austin! It was us all along! This week, we're revisiting the time Vince McMahon's most nefarious enemy was revealed to be...Vince McMahon. No, seriously. He did it because "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was a bully. We also look back on one of the weirdest and worst matches in latter-day WCW, the "Human Torch" match between Sting and Vampiro (and the Sting stuntman). No, this had nothing to do with the Fantastic Four.
