Ronda Rousey has gone from MMA to wrestling - just like our in-studio guest the Savage Gentleman.
Everyone's quick to judge Ronda Rousey, but you can't look at the current women's revolution without giving her props.
MMA was against having a women's division - but look at how much women have changed the sport.
Although Ronda Rousey may be "new" to WWE, she paid her dues in MMA and has built her legacy.
Putting a wrestler in the octagon does not have the same reaction as putting an MMA fighter in the ring.
Matt Riddle gets to do what he loves - wrestling.
Speaking of the women's Evolution, Ronda Rousey is going to make an impact.
You can't discredit someone's natural abilities.
Alexa Bliss vs Trish Stratus at Evolution? We. Can't. Wait.
NXT Takeover Brooklyn happened. We're sharing our thoughts.
The Savage Gentleman and Lady Frost are sharing how much they LOVED the first match of NXT Takeover Brooklyn.
Different kinds of wrestling are like different flavors of ice cream. Everyone has their own preferences.
Settling an in-house debate: Do you watch Facebook videos with or without sound?
Table for 3 is all about Twitter. Mayhem Show is all about Facebook.
Velveteen Dream going totally Rick Rude with his "Call Me Up Vince" tights = Priceless.
We're pretty much learning that what's old is new again.
We're talking some Ciampa v Johnny Gargano from NXT Takeover Brooklyn.
Demon Balor on SummerSlam seemed to go over more for the ladies than the gents.
So....Baron Corbin.
WWE is getting super techy with their 3D integrations.
This week's big question: What is your dream match for WWE Evolution?
There's a wrestling show coming up with a new group in town with Blackcraft Wrestling. Our guests the Savage Gentleman and Lady Frost will be on the show, and they're telling us all about it!

NXT Takeover is ALSO this weekend. We’re sharing some thoughts and predictions.
OH: Lars Sullivan is great! I want to see him win the title at a house show!

We’ve got Bobby meeting Toddy and comparing their collectibles.
We’re learning that Funko Pops are formidable when stacked.
Is CM Punk going to be at All In?
10K tickets for All In sold in under 30 minutes?!?!

It’s a full house (of sorts) as we’re joined by MaxXouT heading into the Millvale Music Festival in a couple of weeks. They are joined by Sorg, Larry, and Mad Mike this week as we talk about: WMS

Sorg is reminiscing about that time he directed Virgil for a music video with our guests MaxXouT.
Imagine trying to do some work in a professional setting and getting a dude calling you and yelling wrestling stuff into the phone. cough Virgil cough
MaxXouT has a Jake the Snake story, too?!?!
When you realize your wrestling connection with MaxXouT gets even tighter when they went to an IWC show you worked.
MaxXouT is kicking around the idea of having Virgil help with their merch table at the Millvale Music Festival.
The greatest of Royal Rumble events happened.
Thanks to Larry for being our Middle East correspondent helping us keep things straight for the Greatest Royal Rumble.
We touch on some of the politics involved with the Greatest Royal Rumble.
Backlash is this weekend, and we’re getting a Samoan vs Samoan match.
So…another cross-promotional PPV.

WWE may have infiltrated our local wrestling scene this past weekend, which can only mean we’ve got some great content from indy wrestling that’s still very relevant to this show! Even better – we’ve got Farnsworth joining us on the big purple couch to add his thoughts to the mix. As usual, he’s joined by our usual cast of characters as we’ve got Sorg and Larry in studio with Bobby F J-Town and Rizz on live via the internets!

We collectively learned in wrestling this week that the Honky Tonk Man sings at live shows.
Daniel Bryan has been cleared for action – just in time for Mayhem Mania. (And, we have differing views on this week’s show.)
The Ultimate DELETION (finally) happened on RAW!
The Ultimate DELETION wasn’t shown on the Hulu cut? Or in the arena at RAW?
Bobby had a James Ellsworth experience this past weekend.
Did James Ellsworth spoil Ultimate DELETION for Bobby?
It’s time for MayhemMania!
Farnsworth is wearing a Dragonball Z design of the Neon Blondes shirt options with Facade and Dani Mo for this week’s show!
Friend of the Show Chris LeRusso has some points on the Daniel Bryan return to the ring.
