Wrestle Buddies

This week, Mat and Chris have their eyes set on Wrestlemania. With the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber behind us, we take a look at what the "road to Wrestlemania" actually is and whether or not it means anything. Then, we discuss what this year's Wrestlemania weekend will be like, from WWE's offerings to a long list of independent wrestling shows scheduled around the big event. This year's Wrestlemania, like last year's, is going to be incredibly unique and we're curious as to what it will look like.

This week, Mat and Chris welcome All Elite Wrestling star Scorpio Sky and Jason Willems from FunHaus to talk about their new podcast, Wrestling with the Week (Out now!), and very important topics like wrestling, video games, and a love of 90 Day Fiancé. Mat and Chris also look back at the late-'90s "Man's Man" gimmick that William Regal was saddled with for some reason. At the very least, it proved that drinking orange juice is manly.

This week, Mat and Chris head revisit SummerSlam 2005 to watch Shawn Michaels oversell every single move Hulk Hogan throws at him during their match. It's truly one of the most bizarre WWE bouts of all time and--dare we say it--Hogan's best match ever. We also take a look at The New Day's WWE debut in the new segment First Impressions. Back then, they weren't the pancake-throwing, trombone-playing meme machines you know and love now.
