Wrestling Mayhem Show 956: Gunther Slaps, Cena Snaps, and R-Truth Might Be Next?
In this special Mother’s Day edition of the Wrestling Mayhem Show, Sorg, Podnar, and Rizz come together on a Sunday night to bring fans a jam-packed, impromptu wrestling discussion—even while on the move for upcoming projects! The crew covers a wide range of current events, personal reflections, and WWE happenings, with signature banter and in-depth takes.
🔍 Main Topics & News Stories Covered:
• Sorg’s Interview with His Mom: A heartfelt plug for Sorg’s AwesomeCast Mother’s Day episode, reflecting on early inspirations and personal storytelling.
• XPW Reflections: Sorg shares his controversial but insightful experience working an XPW event and his candid thoughts on Rob Black.
• RIP Sabu: Emotional reflections on Sabu’s passing, including personal memories from indie shows, ECW legacy, and influences on talents like Fassad.
• Sabu vs Lightning Kid (’93): Podnar highlights how ahead-of-its-time this match was, comparing it to today’s wrestling standards.
• Backlash 2024 Recap:
• Gunther vs Pat McAfee: A surprisingly stiff and emotional bout with visible damage to Pat. The team breaks down storytelling, execution, and selling (or lack thereof).
• Lyra Valkyria vs Becky Lynch: Praised as a raw, intense women’s match with potential real-life injury; discussion also touches on Lyra’s now-viral fiancé.
• Randy Orton vs John Cena: A storytelling-heavy match laced with production chaos and emotional cues—possibly hinting at a Cena face-turn redemption arc.
• Judgment Day/Tag Division Chaos: Brief thoughts on matches involving Penta, R-Truth, and the evolution of Dom Mysterio’s storyline.
• Ticket Pricing Controversy: Dissection of skyrocketing WWE event prices, accessibility challenges, and comparisons to AEW affordability.
• Jeff Cobb & Jacob Fatu Appearances: Intro to newer fans about Jeff Cobb’s career, his NJPW/ROH/Lucha Underground legacy, and Jacob Fatu’s early dominance on WWE TV.
• Cena’s Storyline Arc: Pontification on Cena’s dark path and how it could lead to redemption by SummerSlam, with potential storytelling payoffs.
• Women’s Match Representation: Notable that Backlash featured only one women’s match, but it was a standout performance.
💡 What We Learned Segment:
• Rizz wants to see Disco Inferno get crushed by Gunther.
• Podnar is more interested in the nuances of match storytelling and hopes R-Truth gets a serious title opportunity.
• Sorg reflects on the unpredictable nature of working with promotions like XPW and how unexpected moments in wrestling—like seeing Jeff Cobb debut—keep the business exciting.
