Wrestle Buddies

This week on Wrestle Buddies, GameSpot's professional wrestling podcast, Mat Elfring and Chris E. Hayner are going into the Thunderdome! That's right, WWE had moved to Orlando's Amway Center and set up it's wonderfully over-the-top new set--complete with pyro and video screens everywhere--and we're going to dig deep into it. Then, the Buddies revisit 2005 to examine the bizarre custody battle between Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero. Remember when they had a ladder match to determine who was Dominik Mysterio-Guerrero's actual dad? All that, plus we answer your questions.

This week on Wrestle Buddies, Mat and Chris respond to a random message from someone on the internet. Did you know wrestling is pre-determined? We're as shocked as you are. Then, Chris vacationed by cleaning out his closet and found some long-lost wrestling treasures--from old video games to lucha mask Mat bought him in Mexico. Yes, of course, we have to discuss it. All of that, plus your questions and the latest installment of Gangrel Watch!

This week on Wrestle Buddies, Mat and Chris are joined by Ring of Honor senior official Todd Sinclair, who tells us all about the life of a referee and the ridiculously important role they play--and how weird that role can get. We also examine our first unsolved wrestling mystery by looking back at the time WWE blew up Vince McMahon for two weeks. Lastly, we finally revisit the WWF Hotel and Casino. You don't remember that? That's because, unlike Pastamania, it never ended up happening. Plus we answer your questions!

Lastly, we break down a recent episode of Impact and decide we actually kind of like Impact. Who knew? All that plus your questions get answered.

This week on Wrestle Buddies, it's time for some serious business. Mat and Chris kick off the show with a very important debate to figure out who is the greatest pro wrestler of all time. Spoilers: It's not Chucky, the murdering doll from the Child's Play movies. However, we do look back on the time he invaded WCW to make fun of Rick Steiner and offer Scott Steiner a leading role in a movie. Lastly, the Wrestle Buddies look back on possible one of the worst characters ever with a visit to the gimmick junk drawer to learn all about Mordecai, the reverse Undertaker. All that plus answers to your questions and, of course, we catch up with noted vampire warrior professional wrestler Gangrel.
