Sorg, Mad Mike, and Mainstream Matt are joined by SCORES of Patreon Supporters! This week we’re talking about:

• Charlotte beats Asuka to become Smackdown Women's Champ, spoiler again!
• We discuss Lady Frost's debut a year ago and the chances new talent gets on television
• Mayhem Mania comes to dramatic conclusions with Patreon in the Bank!

Follow our stable on Twitter: Mad Mike (@MadMike4883), Sorg (@Sorgatron), Matt (@MainstreamMat), and a cast of Mayhem Mania participants!

It's the last Tuesday before WrestleMania, which can only mean one thing...PATREON IN THE BANK! And, it's a full house for the occasion. In addition to being joined by a special guest, Todd DeFazio of Idiot Radio, we've got Bobby, Billy F'n Johnson, Larry, Sorg, and Mad Mike talking about:

We attended RAW and Smackdown last week (which meant no live show on Podcast Day) so we're running through our brief thoughts heading into WrestleMania.
We're talking some NXT Takeover as we head into WrestleMania!
Is John Cena emoting the same feeling as being turned down at the high school dance or a kid throwing a tantrum? ARE WE SEEING A HEEL TURN ON THE HORIZON?
It's astounding the number of WWE guys without contracts around WrestleMania time...
Anyone else notice The Miz' post-baby glow?
Is there a WrestleMania match that's booked that you can do without?
With all the matches booked for WrestleMania, we're talking about which ones we see winding up as the main event.
More Brain Strowman please!
It's officially MayhemMania time. Since it's the last show before WrestleMania it's time for Patreon in the Bank!
We are eliminating the hell out of Randy Orton in this segment of MayhemMania.
Apparently there's not enough carnage on our MayhemMania card?
AJ may have just booked a MayhemMania match with a Hair vs Hair match of RAW v Smackdown women.
Matt has a MayhemMania list of cast-offs in a Cleveland cup. It seems so appropriate as our punishment options.
We've had so many changes to the MayhemMania card that we need to have a refresher halfway through to clarify what we've even booked.
Billy is using his god-like power as a Pizza Club Patreon supporter to blow this MayhemMania card up.
What did YOU learn in wrestling this week?
Thanks to Tonio Garza (@TheWRevolution) for putting together graphics for MayhemMania.

Heading to WrestleMania? If you see a Mayhemmer, say hi! If that Mayhemmer's Mad Mike, give him a chop and send us a pic or video clip. We'll include it on next week's show!

We’ve got the RYSE Wrestling Head of Talent Relations, Marcus Mann, on the sofa this week!
Sorg was in Florida over the weekend, and had a chance to visit the Hulk Hogan shop down there.
Marcus Mann is sharing some updates about what they’re up to down at RYSE Wrestling. Want to check it out? Head over to www.indywrestling.us
We’ll be getting to some Fastlane and WrestleMania talk shortly. But first – John Cena has a Road to WrestleMania and Marcus couldn’t be happier.
John Cena broke RAW.
We’re breaking down an interesting comparison between John Cena, Hulk Hogan, and Chris Jericho.
It’s the wrestler’s responsibility to take that #1 spot. If someone isn’t taking that spot, then it really belongs to the guy at the top. (In this case John Cena.)
Vince McMahon will not give anyone a Jr. suffix because he feels it is demeaning.
Sorg apparently ran into Paige at an ICP show last week?
Fastlane happened this weekend, and we’ve got a clearer picture about what we’ll be seeing at WrestleMania.
We found out Marcus Mann is apparently a huge Brock Lesnar fan, in addition to being a John Cena fan…and a Chris Jericho fan…
We’re taking a trip down memory lane…to Summer Slam 2002.
You think Brock Lesnar could kill a person – watch him punch Braun Strowman in the face. He’s the closest thing we can get to a Bruiser Brody.
Are we setting ourselves up for disappointment by setting our expectations too high for WrestleMania?
Thanks to The Bar we can no longer take discussions regarding setting the bar seriously.
When ranking WrestleMania events, which one is the “average” by which you should set your expectations by?
It’s time for MayhemMania! Let’s see what havoc we can wreak this week!
It’s getting near time for Patreon in the Bank. Are you a supporter of the show so you can get in on it https://www.patreon.com/wrestlingmayhemshow

Will Rutherford: Net neutrality is going to get pushed through and it’s going to be a kerfluffle. ISPs are going to do what ISPs do, but customers are going to drop like flies. They’re going to lose so much business that they’re going to roll things back and it will all be for naught.

Mike Pound: Digital side of journalism is going to continue to build in 2018.

Cynthia Closkey: Continued escalation of Google/Apple/Amazon streaming war. Apple TV available for sale on Amazon again.

Michael Fedor: Disney will have one major purchase in the next year. (Jokingly introduced with: Living under the United States of Disney. Disney will pay down national debt and come in on some sort of crisis.)

John Carman: We’re going to see the first Amazon Key burglary.

Bobby Cherry: Elon Musk is going to have some breakthrough next year – through one of his companies.

Chilla: We’re going to see another huge dropoff on PC technology.

Brian Crawford: We’re going to start turning into cyborgs with our wearable tech and implant devices. We’re also going to see regulations regarding drones.

Krause: AR is going to be a much bigger deal than even VR is now.

Sorg: Podcasting is going to be de-emphasized in 2018.
