He's Hal Lublin's podcast partner on “We Got This with Mark and Hal.”  Mark recently got married and decided to celebrate his honeymoon in the best possible way: attending a pro wrestling show. He and his wife attended Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in Mexico City. He'll tell us how everything from the stars to the setting to the audience helped him understand professional wrestling at last.  The Main Event Lucha is a big part of wrestling, including the biggest wrestling companies in the world. With Mark now exposed to the value of Lucha first hand, we're going to take a look at the Luchadors of the past and present, including Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Penta and more. The Three Count Danielle put over Cody Rhodes flavored ice cream. Mark put over Titán and his grand Titánes. Hal put over Matt Cardona spotting Chelsea Green in person!

There's been a bit of a change in WWE recently– the matches on RAW have been longer and of noticeably higher quality. The cards for the upcoming PLEs (more on that later) are particularly stacked. Dare we say that TKO has released its vice grip on the booking team after WrestleMania failed to live up to standards? We can only guess? In fact, the only thing that's dampening the optimism is the fact that Brock Lesnar made is short-awaited debut to continue his program with Oba Femi.  The Main Event Aside from the wrestling ring and every item that's involved in a match being converted into a sponsorship, the surest sign of WWE's big business era is their PLE strategy. This is the latest evolution in their monthly shows that used to be known as PPVs. So let's start with a look back.  The Three Count Danielle put over Effy's new merch! Julian put over the Street Profits time off. Hal put over the Triple H absolving anyone who didn't stand for Hogan's tribute. Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.
