In this throwback to March 1, 2018, hosts Sorg and Rizz dive into one of their favorite interviews with Effy, the “Weapon of Sass Destruction” and “Corporate-Sponsored Wrestler.” Reflecting on Effy's unique journey, this episode revisits how Effy became a groundbreaking figure in independent wrestling, blending self-aware marketing, fierce character work, and LGBTQ+ representation in an industry traditionally lacking such voices. Effy shares insights into the art of self-promotion, describing his layered character as a “trifle” of sass, controversy, and raw talent. From crafting his own genderless fragrance to innovating retro-futuristic marketing strategies, Effy's approach to building a brand and turning independent wrestling stereotypes on their head is nothing short of inspiring. He recounts memorable encounters with fans and how he handled confrontations in small-town venues, aiming to challenge and ultimately change perspectives through his performances. The discussion explores wrestling as more than just in-ring action, examining the importance of media presence, character evolution, and industry impact. Effy's thoughts on wrestlers breaking stereotypes, the evolution of LGBTQ+ acceptance, and why every wrestler should learn media skills offer timeless lessons. Tune in for an unforgettable look at Effy's journey, filled with humor, resilience, and a passion for pushing boundaries in and out of the ring.

This week's episode brought to you by Indy Wrestling US, Slice on Broadway, Sidekick Media Services and listeners like you at www.Patreon.com/WrestlingMayhemShow AEW vs NXT Comparison: • AEW and NXT went head-to-head on “Tuesday Night War.” • The hosts discuss how both shows offer great content, making it hard for fans to choose. They mention how DVR and streaming have changed the viewing experience. • AEW's strategy might have been to avoid blood-heavy matches to appeal to NXT fans used to less violent programming. • NXT showcased appearances from big names like Randy Orton and featured a Women's Championship match. • Main Points of AEW's Strategy: AEW strategically avoided turning away WWE fans by toning down their more violent elements. Mercedes Moné made an appearance, which was seen as an attempt to pull WWE fans into AEW. Women's Wrestling Discussion • NXT Women's Segment: A significant focus was placed on a women's wrestling segment featuring top talents, highlighting the growing depth of the division. There was a spotlight on talent who hadn't wrestled yet, like Stephanie Vaquer, creating excitement for future matches.

AEW vs WWE: Wrestling vs Storyline • Wrestling vs Storyline Debate: The hosts reflected on the difference between WWE and AEW programming. AEW tends to focus more on in-ring wrestling, while WWE places more emphasis on storytelling, particularly in main event matches. • They discussed how WWE's main events often center on drama and developments in the last five minutes, while AEW matches keep fans engaged throughout with high-caliber wrestling. Inside Wrestling Observations • Production Differences: There was a detailed discussion about AEW's longer transition times between shows compared to WWE's efficiency in turning over live shows for different segments or events, such as SmackDown turning into 205 Live quickly. • Crowd Reactions: The hosts talked about their experiences at live AEW events, including engaging with chants and how the fan interaction added to the experience. What We Learned Segment • Rizz: Shared that Jey Uso's Waffle House order was immense, adding a light-hearted note. • Sorg: Reflected on attending live wrestling events and how being at live shows, like AEW Dynamite, re-energizes him, even when feeling out of place or anxious in social settings. • Podnar: Mentioned how staying up to watch late wrestling shows can be exhausting, but how meaningful it is to catch the highlights and stories unfolding in these events.
