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.
