Mikkey's Mosh Pit

After finally getting Caleb back on the Mosh Pit we tackle our longest episode yet. Joined by Martyn, Scotty and Thunder there are laughs, anger, upset and more as we look back at Metallica's mammoth career and run through their 11 studio albums as well as the odd sidequest. But the big question is who will drop the hottest of takes this time?

The Heavy Metal Mixer returns with some of the newest faces on the Wrestlezone roster. Evan Young, Tommy Raiden and Oliver Green are in the Mosh Pit as we talk training through lockdown, watching bad wrestling, the infamous Brenton, Archer's new golf obsession, Reptilé, ladder matches and offensive wrestling posters as well as doing some live Cagematch searching.

The Birthday Bash is back for its third edition as party guests Scotty Swift, Martyn Clunes and Blue Thunder bring a quiz to a quiz. While battling through technical difficulties we discuss Big Time Caleb, Parkinson, 70s and 80s puppets, the Davey Annan comeback, Krypton Factor, the Winger Bros, and contentious Motörhead questions as the quiz quickly goes off the rails. Also stay tuned for and exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at the Mosh Pit

Dino, Murphy and Ted are in the Mosh Pit to relive The Outfit's glory years as we also discuss the infamous Turriff match, sandwich boards, Dino's match book, Billy Meltzer, ridiculous injuries and group showers. And we almost witness the break-up of the team as we play a round of Outfit f**k/marry/kill.

The Mosh Pit returns and again we're attempting something a little different. Mikkey is joined by regular co-hosts Blue Thunder, Scotty Swift and Martyn Clunes as we head to the movies for a look at gritty, cult 1979 film The Warriors

After 2 years of waiting Umar Mohammed finally gets his long awaited opportunity to appear on the Mosh Pit. We're talking The Headbhangras, making Wrestlezone good, Murphy's shovel, snakes, Umar's dubious KISS tournament choices, the W3L Action Academy and a very unexpected guest drops by which results in one of the most chaotic moments on the Mosh Pit.

Something a little different from the Mosh Pit as we venture into (almost) serious Metal podcast territory. Mikkey is joined by Scotty Swift, Martyn Clunes and Blue Thunder as we tackle all things Iron Maiden. From best to worst albums, the live shows, some very hot takes and we attempt to redeem the Blaze era (unsuccessfully).

After almost a year hiatus the Mosh Pit is back!!! Just as unprofessional and chaotic as before, Martyn Clunes, Scotty Swift, Blue Thunder and Caleb Valhalla are on board to celebrate but this time they've each prepared their very own quizzes. As well as this we're talking capers at the Comic-Con, missing gigs, Davey Annan, the adventures of Mr Wrestlezone, legit sell-outs, Mikkey's tag-team partner of the week and the ultimate KISS song plus we weave an Aberdeen Anarchy preview in amongst all this.

It's been 3 long years but finally Wrestlezone galas are back starting with the Newburgh Gala. The boys are a bit giddy so here's just a small taster of the nonsense that goes on both backstage and in the ring during the summer gala season.

With Wrestlezone's Aberdeen Anarchy right around the corner, Mikkey is joined by Martyn Clunes to analyse the stacked match card ahead of this historic event.

There were scoops a-plenty backstage at the Regal Rumble and this episode caught absolutely none of them. Does include a trip to the shops in Connor Molloy's bin of a car and the Battle of the Bands trophies are finally given out.

It's time to get on the road again as Mikkey goes behind the curtain at Ellon to catch up with a few of Wrestlezone's masked men. Also featuring the debut of the newest tag-team 'Heavy Metal Thunder'.

It's the first (and possibly last going by the shambles this descended into) Moshy Awards. Some of the past Mosh Pit guests from 2021 are in attendance to find out who will be among those honoured in several categories including least and most popular episodes, shooter of the year, story and segment of the year and most importantly the highly prestigious Mikkey Vago special achievement award for Most Drunk Guest.

It's the first Wrestlezone show of the year and Mikkey is backstage at Summerhill Showdown doing his best Mean Gene impersonation to catch a few words with some of the guys and reveal some of the capers that occur pre-show.

A brand new setting for the Mosh Pit (not permanent) and some live guests actually in person join Mikkey to unveil the Mosh Pit's latest tournament as well as some exclusive reveals in regards to upcoming episodes and the Big Birthday Bash and Big Christmas Bash quiz trophies are finally presented to the winner.

We're keeping 2 festive traditions alive on this one- drinking and quizzes. Martyn Clunes, Scotty Swift, Caleb Valhalla and Blue Thunder are back for another crack at the quiz for the brand new trophy. As well as that we're off on tangents including working beers, problematic bands, fire alarms, playing duck-duck-goose on shows, Cameo, the Malystos, low tier NWO members, Ghostbusters and we personally cancel someone within the Scottish wrestling scene.

It's a triple threat podcast this episode as two of the Wrestlezone young team, Connor Molloy and Evan Young, drop by the Mosh Pit to drink some ‘water'. Amongst the pub talk and drinking stories we cover multi-take promos, Connor's double car crash, stealing pops, training with Archer, the Wrestlezone 5-a-side football games, Dino's amazing Wrestlezone card recall and going awol on a night out.

International wrestling superstar the ‘Blood Tourist' Lou King Sharp stops by the Mosh Pit as we're talking wrestling abroad, beating D-Von Dudley, eating pigeon, being banned from Nigeria, tribute shows, the LKS Dojo, ECW, the strangeness of Chinese supermarkets and trying to collect every wrestling game ever. And a massive spider.

A less controversial episode than everyone was expecting as Captain Alan Sterling boat-drops into the Mosh Pit. We talk about all his past gimmicks, comedy wrestling, cheap beer, our tradition of wrestling each other at Christmas Chaos, working at McDonalds, authentic sheep shit, popping Grado, revealing wrestling secrets and traditional meat-free stovies as well as what has to be a podcast first.

It's the episode we teased 16 Mosh Pit's ago as Brad Evans returns to do a watchalong of the greatest (worst) match of all time, Power Uti vs Super Festus. Plus we do the longest brief roundup of Wrestlezone's Halloween Hijinx show as well as covering Brad's name change, big time Archer, getting in shape, marks, being unprepared at music festivals, the mystery of the pishy seat, facepaint, Joan Jett and the ridiculousness of the Michael Jackson Moonwalker game.

The old guard of Wrestlezone, Scotty Swift, Martyn Clunes, William Sterling and Johnny Lions, pile into the Mosh Pit to vent about everything wrong about wrestling today plus being chopped by Bob Holly, drunk Archer, kicking X-Pac in the nuts, Johnny Kickpads, having heat with Ted DiBiase and why Kongo Kev was pulled from an early Wrestlezone show.

Aspen Faith and his pizza stop by the Mosh Pit to tell us about the ordeal of working with Marty Jones, ring nicknames, his worst ever match, Power Rangers, wrestling in your 30's, almost being impaled, squeezing into wrestling gear post-lockdown, 90's cartoons and THAT Aberdeen Anarchy table spot.

As well as a lesson in refereeing 101 from Wrestlezone officials Dennis Law and Mikey Innes, we're talking Metallica playing the Jurassic Park theme, burying Chris Archer on his birthday, Dennis' future podcast 'Laying Down the Law', working cartwheels into a match, the Innes and Gunn bromance, ref bumps and trying to break the iceman when The Ref Express come by the Mosh Pit.

The chat takes some strange turns as Zach Dynamite drops by the Mosh Pit for a few drinks. We're talking everything from getting in shape, coaching at the Wrestlezone Academy, raising kids and Japanese wrestling to swearing too much, Captain Alan, running spots without practicing, wet Archer and collecting TNA DVD's (even the bad ones).

Complete chaos as Dino Del Monte, Ryan Riley, Chris Archer and Connor Inglis get together with Mikkey for the very first Heavy Metal Mixer. Amongst other things we're talking wrestling with punch-bags, buying vodka for Jim Duggan, having a blast at galas, uppercutting fruit machines, fantasy football and toothpaste. And Archer gets very, very drunk.

The very first Big Birthday Bash Quiz Champion brings along his shovel to the Mosh Pit as we talk about Martyn messing up his big appearance on STV news, TV's Chris Archer, hanging with Hacksaw Jim Duggan, why the A-Team's Hannibal had a boat, galas, Iron Maiden, music festivals and Martyn reveals the surprising most expensive record in his vinyl collection.

It's party time on the Mosh Pit as Scotty Swift, Caleb Valhalla, Martyn Clunes and Blue Thunder join Mikkey to have a few drinks and some laughs to celebrate his birthday. Synchronised peeing, Lesnar's tiny calves, the infamous WZ over-18 shows, sound issues, dislocated jaws, bad guitar playing and being ripped off by Kamala. All this plus the inaugural Mikkey's Mosh Pit Big Birthday Bash Quiz Champion is crowned.

On this, the second attempt at recording, Mikkey is joined in the Mosh Pit by Caleb Valhalla where we get into Caleb's impending fatherhood, his time playing in a band, that time he killed Mr Malice and the nonsense that is the Haddo House Gala.

Scotty Swift returns to the Mosh Pit and this time we're talking Metal. We're going back to our first records, the glaring omission from Scotty's Wrestlezone Metal Band, getting riled up at HMV's Metal section, putting together Scotty's dream gig and we finally settle our argument about which Offspring album is the greatest.....sort of.

The Mad Dog drops by the Mosh Pit for a few beers as we cover Bradley breaking into Wrestlezone along with his best friend, his terrible first gimmick, everything about why Doc Gallows is the greatest ever including his infamous match with the Great Power Uti and why we are incapable of having a botch-free match against each other.
