Sometimes, we take notes before we record Sometimes, we don’t Sometimes, an episode comes out on time Sometimes, an episode comes out two weeks late We regret naming our last episode “Can It Get Any Worse” because Things got worse In Wrestling: We predicted Paul Heyman managing a heel Roman Reigns… in 2018 Vince turns out to be exactly the person w…

So much horrible real-world shit keeps happening between episodes. At least we have pro wrestling to give us a break for a few hours each week. In this episode, we talk about our first live Dynamite, CM Punk's absence from the Dynamite in Baltimore, and sitting directly below Darby Allin and Sting. All that and more! Balti-more! Ha, ha!…

We're sharing stories from some recent travels, plus AEW is heating up and WWE is cooling down. Also: Subway tuna fish!Mid-Card Mechanics

In this episode, we talk about our own dumb, crazy lives, whether or not it's a good idea to pack into an arena for some live wrestling, the NEWS from AEW, some Bad Booking, and we close it out with Boss Time.Mid-Card Mechanics

It's the first time we've recorded in person since the pandemic began! We're on the road to Double or Nothing and Mark is ready to return to Twitter!Mid-Card Mechanics

Mark got both doses of the vaccine and Gavin got COVID-19 in between doses. Plus: WrestleMania happened!Mid-Card Mechanics

Can you believe it's time for WrestleMania again? We can't. We cover all of the matches announced so far. Also: Fox News doesn't seem to understand comedy, but that's something we CAN believe.Mid-Card Mechanics

We're still in spring training, but that's not going to keep us from trying out some new segments like Bad Booking and When Wrestling Gets Real, plus some old favorites like Boss Time and the N-E-W-S from AEW. Buckle up!Mid-Card Mechanics

Gavin and Mark return to the RoofDeck so Mark can update Gavin on the ThunderDome, SummerSlam, and the rest of the electrifying news from WWE.Mid-Card Mechanics

Chris Jericho's band Fozzy played at Sturgis and there wasn't a mask in sight. Marty Jannetty may or may not have confessed to a murder. WWE tried some new things on Raw. And AEW holds a women's tag team tournament but doesn't put it on TV. What a week to be a pro wrestling fan!Mid-Card Mechanics

Back in July, Gavin and Mark hung out and recorded a physically-distanced podcast for the second time in five months due to the coronavirus. It felt like a monumental win!Mid-Card Mechanics

Gavin and Mark stand around in the pouring rain and record a podcast about professional wrestling during a global pandemic and social unrest.Mid-Card Mechanics

This was a rough week to be a wrestling fan, a human with an immune system, or a member of society. But we're taking deep breaths and trying the best we can.Mid-Card Mechanics

Black lives matter! AEW and WWE expressed support for the protests for racial justice in America. Guess which company seemed to have the most genuine response!Mid-Card Mechanics

Another episode coming out a little bit late! AEW Double or Nothing was fantastic. AEW is fantastic. Is there any wrestling better than AEW? No. We're the AEW Mechanics at this point.Mid-Card Mechanics

Oh, it's a good one this week! Money in the Bank Baby Secky The WWE Intercontinental Championship Luck v McMahon Karl Anderson and FTR on BTE Double or NothingMid-Card Mechanics

WrestleMania was not too big for one night.Mid-Card Mechanics

We're still self-isolating and not going crazy even a little bit!Mid-Card Mechanics

Like all good patriots, we're still self-isolating to keep our communities safe. And also like all good patriots, we're still podcasting about pro wrestling!Mid-Card Mechanics

We're doing the show from two different locations this week! If the coronavirus isn't going to stop WrestleMania, it's sure as hell not going to stop us!Mid-Card Mechanics

AEW continues to be everything we've ever hoped for when it comes to pro wrestling. And NXT's not bad either! We've stopped watching the main roster altogether. Do we miss it? What are we doing now that our Monday nights have freed up?Mid-Card Mechanics

AEW has made us realize we're embarrassed to have been WWE fans for so long.Mid-Card Mechanics

It was the biggest week in wrestling history. Monday Night Raw, AEW Dynamite, NXT, and Friday Night Smackdown. We cover it all. Or at least most of it. There was a lot. We did our best.`Mid-Card Mechanics

NXT on USA premiered and it was fantastic! AEW's premiere is only a week away! Meanwhile: WWE has a storyline written by someone with a clear cuckolding fetish. The Wednesday Night Wars are warming up!Mid-Card Mechanics

SummerSlam: it was a wrestling event that took place! Also: Maybe the worst part about wrestling is wrestling fans. Except for us. We are elite.Mid-Card Mechanics

AEW's premiere in DC sold out, and we didn't get tickets! The G1 Climax comes to its climax in just a few days! And we're on the road to SummerSlam! Yes, we talk about a surprising amount of wrestling on this one!Mid-Card Mechanics

The heel president cut a promo on our hometown of Baltimore and we don't let him get away with it. Plus: AEW comes to TNT (and Washington DC!) on October 2nd!Mid-Card Mechanics

Gavin was on vacation and Mark's roof blew off of his house. It's good to be back and talk about AEW and that other wrestling promotion if we have time!Mid-Card Mechanics
