Backlash is often regarded as the come-down show for WWE. There's plenty to criticize; why is Gunther taking on Pat McAfee on his road back to the World Heavyweight Championship picture? And why is WWE intent on protecting Pat McAfee as an in-ring performer?Let's not let that completely distract from the fun moments: Danielle gets to squee about Jeff Cobb fka Monster Matanza in her dearly departed Lucha Underground.

The biggest weekend in wrestling has come and gone; and all anyone wants to talk about is how disappointed they were by that main event between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. And sure there's disappointment between that, The Rock's absence, and the Travis Scott of it all, there still was a lot of good too.New champions were crowned and we even had a really strong Monday Night RAW that could mean this slog we went through is only temporary.The Three Count:Danielle put over Steiner MathLindsey put over Nina Marie living the dream. Hal put over Karrion Kross.Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

It's the biggest weekend in wrestling at last!And while we'd love to express our full joy at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, there's no doubt that this build feels… a little weaker than the last few years. Maybe that's due to the fact that the show is later on the calendar than usual; maybe it's because WWE is focused on stars we're less invested in. In any case, it will be a big show that will draw a lot of attention and will, hopefully, over deliver. The Three Count:Danielle put over the Great-EST mash upLindsey put over wrestling treatsHal put over Becoming a Spectacle.Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

And to get ready for WrestleMania, check out our new Las Vegas themed shirts at MaxFunStore.com.It was an Elimination Chamber event for the ages!The women's edition of the event started off with a wicked Jade Cargill heel run. Her attack on Naomi was sold BEAUTIFULLY by Bianca Belair, who eventually won the match and will wrestle for the World Title at Mania.Trishy Time was a fun way to keep the Canadians happy (necessary after they booed the national anthem).With how badly Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn beat each other, we have to wonder if this was just the first of two brawls between the two former besties– with the next one to come at WrestleMania.And the highlight of the night was the men's elimination chamber. With tons of rivalries playing out and all won by the beloved John Cena… put a pin in that. Main Event: John Cena turns heelAfter a brief stare down between Cena and Cody, The Rock came out to the ring to collect on his demand for the champion's soul.
