We talk about WWE. And we are the only podcast that does. Trust Us. Don't Look it Up.
Look who's not dead! WrestleFania is back with a brand new LIVE special where Mike and Brandon are going live to talk about this weekend's WrestleMania event! This episode was originally streamed live on Youtube. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wrestlefania/message
I admit it – I forgot to record an episode for this yesterday BUT, I think I’m better for it. I like reacting to a show that just happened instead of talking about a show a day or 2 before it happens. I hope you like it. I’ll be live tweeting NXT tomorrow night at @WrestleWatcher, but I admit during the show I accidentally told you to follow me at @WrestleBrand. This is what rock bottom feels like.
Tomorrow night is WWE's Backlash live from Puerto Rico! And even though I haven't been watching the shows because of reasons discussed in this episode (one of which is why I won't be watching Smackdown tonight) - it wasn't going to stop me from talking about it. I'll be live tweeting at @WrestleWatcher, and if you're into making bad choices you can also follow @WrestleBrand. Maybe he'll be watching as well if he's not too busy spending time with his selfish children...
It's WrestleMania weekend! No Brandon. No Live Episode. And just me talking in my car on the way to get some breakfast. So yeah, the podcast has come to this.... I'll be live tweeting all weekend at @WrestleWatcher, and maybe - we'll hear from @WrestleBrand, if he's not to busy unpacking. We get it, Brandon, you're a homeowner now. You don't have to rub it in, prick. Anyway enjoy the show!
I am excited about this year's Elimination Chamber, no matter the outcome of the main event. I am just really looking forward to the Montreal crowd (which is tough to say as a lifelong Bruins fan) and how they're going to welcome their hometown boy, Sami Zayn. However it ends, it should make for a memorable night and I'll be here watching and live-tweeting. Oh and my me I mean @WrestleWatcher, and not the guy who used to be on this show - @WrestleBrand, but is probably too busy trying to score Yellowcard tickets. Yeah, neither to do I. GO SAMI!
Happy 2023 wrestling fans! The Royal Rumble is here and I'm ready to talk a little bit about that match as well as the other matches set for tomorrow night. Forgive me if my voice sounds scratchy - I had a camera stuck down my throat today. I talk about it more on the episode, since I have all this free time to fill up because my co-host hates all of you. Follow me on twitter @WrestleWatcher and follow @WrestleBrand to let him know how disappointed you are in him.
Happy Thanksgiving Wrestling Nerds! I know, I know - the actual celebration was yesterday, but since I'm still eating turkey, I can legally still say it. Anyway, I just finished watching Smackdown and wanted to talk about tomorrow night's SurvivorSeries Wargames! Follow me on twitter @WrestleWatcher and give thanks that @WrestleBrand is no longer a host on this show.
I survived the drive to Florida with my mother-in-law! But how do I top that? Well, really I can't. I get to watch Crown Jewel from the comfort of my couch - but only AFTER I go to a nice craft fair with my wife and our niece. See, I can do normal human things too. I don't just sit around watching WWE....I mean, I do that too - but it's not the only thing I do. Follow me on twitter @WrestleWatcher and if you send me $8.00, maybe I'll get one of those cool blue checkmarks that will now seem meaningless....
I think the title speaks for itself. Yup, tomorrow I'll be on the road to Florida, stopping in Virginia for the night – but I have my tablet and there better be WiFi because when she falls asleep at 8pm (and she will) I would be staring at the ceiling with big white cartoon eyes if I don't get a change to watch this show. If you see on twitter at @WrestleWatcher then I survived day one….
I woke up early and thought - oh shit "Clash at the Castle" is today and I didn't do an episode. So, for you few, rare people listening to this episode - I dedicate this to you. I'll try to be there live on twitter @WrestleWatcher....
Guess what! I (yes me Mike) watched wrestling this week! I watched RAW on Monday (okay the hulu version on Tuesday), I watched Smackdown tonight - AND I even watched a little bit of AEW Dynamite. I am getting back into the groove of things - and looking forward to Summerslam tonight night! Also - holy crap Vince McMahon retired. I can't wait to hear from Brandon has to say as he did send some audio in for this episode. I guilted him into it - he didn't want to let Gary down... GO WRESTLING GO
Since we last met, my Celtics lost the NBA Finals, I've finished watching 30 movies (and 30 podcast) in 30 days, and I've podcasted a whole hell of a lot about Stranger Things. The one thing I haven't stayed up-to-date on is....wrestling! But do you think that's going to stop me from talking about wrestling even for a few minutes?
Look, I'm going to be perfectly honest. I have not been paying enough attention to wrestling this past month. I only have a very basic idea of what is going on - but will that stop me from putting up a quick episode talking about tomorrow night's Hell in a Cell show? A show that I might only have on in the background (if that) while my Celtice play game 2 of the NBA Finals? I mean, you're reading this right now, so you already know the answer to that...
Oh yeah, WrestleMania Backlash is tomorrow! Such a memorable show that Mike waiting until Saturday night to put up an episode about it. Which is this episode. The one you're listening to right now. Lucky.
Holy crap, could it be? Brandon (@WrestleBrand) and Mike (@WrestleWatcher) are both on the show together!? How much did that cost us? Well you can be sure to hear every penny's worth when you listen to them talk about everything happening during WrestleMania Weekend!
Mike is back again and flying solo. Again. What else is new? Mike takes a few minutes to talk about this Saturday's “Premium Live Event” from Saudi Arabia while also taking a few minutes to talk about the news and rumors surrounding “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Stardust, who I guess is also known as Cody Rhodes to some people…. FOLLOW: @WrestleFaniaPod | @WrestleBrand | @WrestleWatcher
The only actual host Mike (@WrestleWatcher) is back to talk about Saturday night's Royal Rumble PREMIUM LIVE EVENT! He tried to include Brandon (@WrestleBrand) but once again that proved to be fruitless. Go Wrestling!
Mike was going to talk about NXT New Year's Evil on the last episode, but thought it'd be cooler to break it out into its own episode so he can talk about Brandon not being here yet again! We may need to stop paying this guy.
A brand new PPV for a brand new year, Day 1 kicks of WWE's 2022, and I think it actually could be a really good show. And the "I" in this case is Mike, because once again Brandon is a no show. It's time to give up hope.
You'd think a 100th Episode would be this great celebration, right? Well when you can't even get your co-host to record ONE WORD for you to play as a joke of him not joining the show - you start to realize that the only person you can count on is Gary! Thank you Gary for 100 episodes of listening. But you still voted for Brandon. Oh, and I talk about NXT WarGames that takes place tonight...
It's almost Thanksgiving, which means it's almost time for WWE Survivor Series. And sure, while there is a lot to be thankful for in the world of wrestling, there is also a lot to be frustrated with. Mike touches on the most recent WWE releases a bit before talking about Sunday night's Survivor Series event. And Brandon wasn't here again.
I am not going to lie to you. I will never lie to you...Mike almost forgot to even do this episode - and Brandon? Brandon doesn't care about you anymore. Anyway, Mike talks about how he isn't all caught up on WWE because of Red Sox playoff baseball - and how he might not be that "all elite" after all. Oh and he talks about Crown Jewel.
Short and to the point - Mike (@WrestleWatcher) brings you a musical number with his predictions for Sunday night's Extreme Rules. Brandon (@WrestleBrand) was not available for comment.
Baby, what a big surprise! Right before my very eyes....Did the unthinkable happen? Okay, maybe that's a little strong. But could it be? Is Mike (@WrestleWatcher) an AEW watcher now, and dare we say an AEW fan? With the huge news coming out of Chicago and their All Out pay-per-view, Mike is finding next to impossible to ignore this wrestling company any longer. Oh, and Brandon (@WrestleBrand)? Yeah, he was too busy becoming a father again to be reached for comment. Also, Mike didn't ask.
The boys are BACK! Yes somehow Mike (@WrestleWatcher) managed to trick Brandon (@WrestleBrand) into coming on for a SummerSlam livestream - which you are now about to listen to - to talk about some recent WWE stuff, including tomorrow night's Summerslam and Sunday night's NXT Takeover. And hell we even talk about probably the biggest story in wrestling right now - tonight's possible/probable return of CM Punk into the world of wrestling on AEW's Rampage. But don't worry, there is a ton of nonsense along the way. Listen with the whole family!
It's almost a joke to say that there are two hosts on this show, right? I mean, Brandon (@WrestleBrand) hasn't been on an episode since - well to be honest, Mike (@WrestleWatcher) cannot remember the last time his voice has made an appearance. But your trusty Mike is here to talk about tomorrow night's Money in the Bank PPV - because at least he cares. He cares.
I am about as excited about watching this PPV as I was talking about it. You can pretty much pick that up right away. Oh it's me, Mike, BTW. Apparently, I'm the only host of this show now. Brandon has given up on all of you.
At least one of the hosts still cares about Gary and all the Garys out there. Mike (@WrestleWatcher) took a few moments to talk about tomorrow's NXT Takeover that will be live on The 'Cock. Meanwhile, Brandon (@WrestleBrand) is nowhere to be found or heard from. Which, let's be honest, Mike prefers.
Let's be honest. There is only one match that people even remotely care about for tomorrow night's WrestleMania Backlash - and everybody just assumes what the outcome will be. But what if it wasn't that? Mike (@WrestleWatcher) takes a few minutes to talk about the upcoming show, and Brandon (@WrestleBrand) - well Brandon just doesn't care anymore. I said let's be honest, right?
It's Friday night. Mike (@WrestleWatcher) just finished watching Smackdown. And guess what - There's STILL not a Brandon (@WrestleBrand) in site. So Mike very tiredly sloshed his way through this weekend's WrestleMania crowd and announced that YES - the tradition continues. WrestleFania Live will return once again on Sunday at 4pm on the Fans Not Experts Youtube channel.
It's Monday night. Mike (@WrestleWatcher) just finished watching RAW. There's not a Brandon (@WrestleBrand) in site. Mike thought it would be a perfect time to turn on the Podcasterator and record an episode talking about the upcoming two-night NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver. So he did just that. And you'll probably hear is marble mouth again before the week is through too. Happy WrestleMania week, jerks!
Mike (@WrestleWatcher) is back and Brandon (@WrestleBrand) is nowhere to be found. Hopefully he's safe, I guess. Anyway, today Mike (also known as me) is talking about tomorrow night's big WWE Fastlane show, the first WWE PPV that you can stream on Peacock. I'm sure it will go swimmingly....
No Brandon? No Problem. Mike is back and ready to talk about Elimination Chamber less than 24 hours before the actual event. So either fall asleep listening to it late tonight or listen tomorrow. After that, what's the point?
February 14th is a time for lovers, not fighters! Unless those fighters are only pretending to fight, then it's fine! This Sunday night NXT Takeover is back so Mike (@WrestleWatcher) to talk a little bit about it while yawning and drinking Ginger Ale. Brandon (@WrestleBrand) couldn't be here tonight, mainly because he didn't want to be here and Mike didn't want him to be here. So it worked out.
Does this episode actually feature dashingly handsome and witty Mike (@WrestleWatcher) and the other guy...I wanna say, Brad? Brendan? Bodie? BRANDON!? Brandon (@WrestleBrand) is on the show too? Holy sh*t it's a miracle! Oh and they talk about the Royal Rumble AND just how up-to-date Brandon is on all things WWE. Wait, could that title be true? Are BOTH hosts of @WrestleFaniaPod in this episode?
Snoop Mikey Mike is back with a new WrestleFania episode talking about the WWE Tables Ladders and Chairs PPV. Brandon supposedly sent in audio too....
Hello wrestling fans and WrestleFania fan, it's me Mike (@WrestleWatcher) here to talk about tomorrow night's big NXT show on the network! And guess who is joining me for this episode? NOBODY! I'm all alone again! My co-host cares more about spending time with his daughter than he does this podcast. Can you spell S-E-L-F-I-S-H? I can. I mean, I think that's right. Anyway, you get me for a half hour of your life. But cheer up, it could've been longer....
Here we are, face to face, a couple of silver spoons….I have no idea why I started writing the theme song to the 80s sitcom, “Silver Spoons” because I am not coming face to face with anybody, let alone that (soon to be former) co-host Brandon who didn’t even bother showing up. He did text me during the show though, so I’ll share that. Oh and I talk about Survivor Series. Oh, RAW and Smackdown go face to face – so hey it DOES make sense. FOLLOW: @WrestleFaniaPod | @WrestleBrand | @WrestleWatcher
A wise man once said, “Don’t do a podcast with your cousin Brandon.” That wise man was a fool. That wise man was me. I told myself as I gazed into the mirror on the ceiling over my bath tub – don’t do it, he will only hurt you in the end. And look where we are today. Today I am talking about tomorrow night’s Hell in a Cell on the WWE Network – and I am doing in alone. Why? Because the fool won. FOLLOW: @WrestleFaniaPod | @WrestleBrand | @WrestleWatcher
Brandon lied to Mike. He said he would try to send him audio - he never tried. He said he might not be able to because he was going to be with friends - he has no friends. He is a liar. Mike is a giver. And he's here to give you the mediocre wrestling talk you've come accustomed to over the years - talking about tomorrow night's NXT Takeover 31.
WWE is back with a new PPV on Sunday night and Mike (@WrestleWatcher) decided to call up Brandon (@WrestleBrand) to talk about it. For some reason Mike's audio sounded like shit. Brandon's sounded better - but then you had to listen to his voice, which isn't great. Anyway, they talk a little wrestling. Spoiler alert - this episode is longer than the amount of time Brandon has been watching wrestling this month....
Mike & Brandon? Talking to each other? For real? ONLY on WrestleFania!
