Wrestle Buds

WWE's Summerslam happened, and why not talk about the two night show? Mainly, this whole episode exists because Mat thinks (allegedly, reportedly) that Chad Gable's new theme song is AI Slop--at least the vocals are. This was before Mat did a Google search and found out that this isn't the first time music producers Def Rebel have been accused of using AI to make WWE wrestlers' theme music.

So many interviews with wrestlers ask the question, "Who is your Mount Rushmore of wrestlers?"

You know what, we should do that too! Chris and Mat come up with their own hyper-specific Mount Rushmores that are more than just wrestlers. For some odd reason, Mat went serious and Chris went wacky.

As an added bonus!!: The end of the episode gets REAL weird!

A few months after the release of WWE 2K26, Chris and Mat have a lot of opinions about the game and changes that could be made in future installments. They both really like playing the game. HOWEVER, they have so many opinions about what direction the series should take in the next year. Lots of chatter about Ringside Pass, the Creative Suite, MyFaction, MyRise, Showcase, and more!

There have been many wrestlers who have stepped into the world of acting either during the height of the career or at the end of it. Throughout the years, there have been so many that have made an impact on the big and small screen: Vader and others. Sorry, we didn't mention Vader's role in Boy Meets World, so we wanted to mention it here.

BUT WHO WERE THE TOP 5 WRESTLERS-TURNED-ACTORS? Mat and Chris made their own lists and compare them. Also, Messy Ventura makes an appearance from an Italian restaurant.

This week, Chris recounts the recent adventure in Florida where he headed to Tom Pestock's (FKA Baron Corbin) Autonomy Coffee Lab where Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins held an event for their AMO coffee brand. Chris went and bought some, drank it, and discusses his caffeinated-adventures.

This one is a journey... Mat wishes it was the holidays, so he could talk about WCW holiday shows, but there's no good Christmas episodes. So Mat decides to watch a bunch of Halloween Havocs to see which one is the spookiest. After being let down, Chris and Mat go back to the well and watch a Dungeon of Doom vs. Hulk Hogan match, but this time, there's monster trucks and a Yeti!

Also, WrAIstler explains hedonism to the guys... So there's that.

After WCW closed up shop, there was a void in wrestling, Chris stumbled up a pre-TNA federation that tried to fill that void: XWF. It was a wrestling promotion that couldn't get a TV deal, did a bunch of house shows, had plenty of titles no one won during tapings, and included names like Hulk Hogan, The Nasty Boys, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and more.

Dr. Squatch has a couple of WWE-branded soaps and one deodorant. Of course, Mat bought them and tried them out. His experience was less-than-optimal. He complains for a while, and then WrAIstler returns to come up with WWE soaps on its own. It is also a miserable experience. But hey, who doesn't want to smell like beer and coffee?
