Sorg, Mad Mike and Rizz return for Wrestling Mayhem Show 1026, and Mad Mike has done the homework nobody knew we needed: watching the first ten episodes of WWE's Agent of Shadow. What follows is a beautifully chaotic trip through secret-agent nanny duty, Michael Hayes showing up with his fanny pack, and Drew McIntyre becoming the guy in the chair. The review somehow turns into a discussion about watching even more of it. This is how they get you.

Then the crew investigates the wrestling internet's latest visual mystery: was Solo Sikoa green-screened in front of the Bloodline, or are we all just discovering depth of field? Sorg brings the production perspective, while the conversation takes the expected detour into fantasy booking.

Spooky season supplies the rest of the mayhem. The guys talk Danhausen's Halloween takeover, NXT Halloween Havoc, Wren Sinclair's “Happy Wren's Day” videos, and Sorg's experience working GCW at a drive-in. Expect a flamethrower entrance, a damaged projector-shed door, and a body-bag moment that becomes a giant Pop-Tart comparison. Wrestling is wonderfully ridiculous.

This week's conversation includes:

• WWE's Agent of Shadow: Mad Mike's spoiler-filled review of the opening ten episodes, the vertical-drama format, and the appeal of hacker Drew McIntyre.

• Michael Hayes, Hank and Tank: The cast choices and scenes that send the room into disbelief.

• Drew and Sheamus stories: A haircut bounty, backstage banter, and the pitch for “Bowling with Baron.”

• The Solo Sikoa green-screen debate: Camera tricks, background blur, and why the promo looked unusual to viewers.

• A Bruce Prichard report: The hosts react to an on-air report about a possible retirement after WrestleMania.

• Indie wrestling check-in: 2PW's Friday Night Frights, The Runway's Glenn Spectre tribute, and discussion of upcoming VCW and RWA shows.

• Very nice, very spooky: Danhausen, Halloween Havoc, coffee, commercials, and Wren Sinclair appreciation.

• GCW drive-in chaos: Shotzi, Lio Rush, doors, fire, and Sorg's view from behind the camera.

• What we learned: Sami Zayn deserves his flowers, Drew McIntyre might be the voice of reason, and Halloween wrestling should stay weird.

Join the conversation: Which wrestler should get the next completely ridiculous movie role—and what would you cast them as?

They dig into the good, the weird, and the frustrating parts of WrestleMania weekend, including Danhausen’s buzzworthy appearance, the growing frustration over ESPN commercial breaks, the rising cost and complexity of keeping up with WWE across multiple platforms, and whether the WrestleMania experience feels less fan-friendly than it did five or ten years ago.

George also shares firsthand stories from the indie side of WrestleMania week, including bizarre gimmick matches, Sandman’s chaotic final match appearance, touring with JCW, and the kind of surreal moments that only happen during Mania weekend. The crew also talks about intrusive fan behavior around wrestlers in public, why boundaries matter more than ever, and what this all says about modern wrestling fandom.

Plus, the gang closes out with a memorable What We Learned segment touching on Vegas, Roman Reigns, Corey Graves, and more wrestling absurdity.
