Wrestle Buddies

This week, AEW executive vice president and star Cody Rhodes joins us to preview his match against Anthony Ogogo at Double or Nothing. We also talk about going on the road again, resurrecting the moniker "American Dream," his proudest achievements in wrestling, and becoming a dad. AEW Double or Nothing airs live on Pay-Per-View Sunday, May 25.

In 2006, questionable decision-maker and former mall pasta kiosk magnate Hulk Hogan released his knock-off George Foreman grill. In 2021, we bought one. This is our story.

Strap in, we have Wrestlemania Backlash predictions--as does Predictionbot 3000, for some reason. Can Cesaro beat Roman Reigns? We sure hope so!

This week, we celebrate one year of the podcast with returning Wrestle Buddy Keisha Hatchett, a bunch of memories, a special Gangrel Watch, and one very bizarre promo.

You've already heard about our favorite and least favorite finishing moves. Now hear what got cut--Mat and Chris arguing about whether the Crossrhodes is a good move and if it's actually just Bryan Wyatt's Sister Abigail.

Here it is, our 52nd regular episode! That's a full year of Wrestle Buddies nonsense and we aren't slowing down anytime soon. This week, we look back on the truly bizarre WWE storyline in which Vince McMahon had an illegitimate child--and it was a leprechaun. Also, Mat and Chris go through their favorite (and least favorite) finishing moves in wrestling. Get ready to hear some serious hate for The Worm.

Surprise! Instead of a full-on episode this week, we have an interview with AEW star and Inner Circle tough guy Jake Hager.

This week, we look at the talent released by WWE last week, where we think they might go next, and gush about Bo Dallas quite a bit. Then, to celebrate the release of the new Mortal Kombat movie, we look back on the time WCW ripped off Mortal Kombat. Glacier was like if Sub-Zero was a bad wrestler that superkicked everyone.

Every now and then, there's a professional wrestling feud so bad that most wish it would be stricken from the records. This week, we're talking about the Katie Vick angle, in which WWE Champion Triple H revealed Kane accidentally killed his girlfriend in high school, even though it's hard to imagine Kane having a girlfriend in high school. Don't worry, this storyline gets much worse and grotesque from there. We're also joined by two guests that seem to show up whether invited or not, the Smackdown Hacker and PredictionBot 3000.

We did it! We survived another two-night Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania 37 was a pretty great show, if we're being perfectly honest. The highs were so high, but there were also some lows, so let's talk about it all.
