In this episode of the Mitchell Report Unleashed Podcast, Darryl Silverstein and Luke Michael Howard sit down for a passionate, unfiltered wrestling conversation that spans generations. For fans now in their early 30s and beyond, professional wrestling—especially under the banner of WWE—has defined some of life's most unforgettable moments. From childhood Saturday nights to adult nostalgia, wrestling has been more than entertainment; it's been a shared cultural experience. Today, the conversation turns toward the current state of the industry. Why are ticket sales lagging for the upcoming WrestleMania 42? Is talent being positioned and booked in ways that truly maximize their potential? And most importantly, what must WWE do now to regain momentum and steer the company in the right creative direction? This is just the beginning.The guys are launching a monthly wrestling roundtable—an ongoing gathering to dive deeper into the sport, the stories, and the evolving business behind it all. With a full playlist dropping on YouTube around WrestleMania weekend, fans can expect surprises, major conversations, and appearances from wrestling personalities both past and present.Contact Darryl Silverstien:  INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mlb_dad18/ jbirdybaseballcoINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jbirdybaseballco/followers/mutualFirstWEBSITE: https://jbirdy.ca Contact Luke Michael Howard INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/lukenosishypnosis/WEBSITE: https://lukenosis.comFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/Lukenosis TWITTER/X: https://x.com/lukenosisTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@lukenosisYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/lukenosisIs WWE Capitalizing on Momentum or Coasting Into WrestleMania 42?

Join Joe and Anthony for another unfiltered episode of Wrestling Soup! This week we're diving into:

John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me.I want you to digest this because before I leave in 3 weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest. I don't hate you, John. I don't even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate this idea that you're the best. Because you're not. I'm the best. I'm the best in the world.There's one thing you're better at than I am and that's kissing Vince McMahon's ass.You're as good as kissing Vince's ass as Hulk Hogan was. I don't know if you're as good as Dwayne though. He's a pretty good ass kisser. Always was and still is. Whoops! I'm breaking the fourth wall. I am the best wrestler in the world. I've been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company. And I've been vilified and hated since that day, because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar.And he split just like I'm splitting.But the biggest difference between me and Brock is I'm going to leave with the WWE Championship. I've grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon's brass rings that it's finally dawned on me that they're just that, they're completely imaginary. The only thing that's real is me and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I have proved to everybody in the world that I am the best on this microphone, in that ring, even in commentary! Nobody can touch me! And yet no matter how many times I prove it, I'm not on your lovely little collector cups.I'm not on the cover of the program. I'm barely promoted.I don't get to be in movies.I'm certainly not on any crappy show on the USA Network.I'm not on the poster of WrestleMania.I'm not on the signature that's produced at the start of the show.I'm not on Conan O'Brian. I'm not on Jimmy Fallon. But the fact of the matter is, I should be. And trust me, this isn't sour grapes. But the fact that Dwayne is in the main event at WrestleMania next year and I'm not makes me sick! Oh hey, let me get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now, you are just as big a part of me leaving as anything else. Because you're the ones who are sipping on those collector cups right now. You're the ones that buy those programs that my face isn't on the cover of. And then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face so you can get an autograph and try to sell it on eBay because you're too lazy to go get a real job. I'm leaving with the WWE Championship on July 17th. And hell, who knows, maybe I'll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling.Maybe I'll go back to Ring of Honor.

O'Shea & TJ take the show on the road and bring NCW from the WWE Headquarters in Stamford, CT for the WWE 2K26 CreatorFest Event.

With This Ring #77: No Way Out 2001 Cindy and Ryan have rumbled onto the road to WrestleMania, but first, No Way Out 2001! One of the all-time well regarded B-shows. We look at the main event scene and what we will get as we continue towards WrestleMania. Topics include: We look at even more between Vince/Trish and Stephanie leading to a very surprising match at the PPV. Big Show coming back to be put right back in the hardcore division. A highly athletic Intercontinental Title forgotten classic (because of one of the competitors.) We go into the long and winding Triple H/Stone Cold rivalry and their classic Three Stages of Hell match. We look at the King feuding with the RTC and wanting to see the Kat naked…and how this would soon lead to the King leaving, Paul Heyman showing up on Raw and basically confirming ECW is dead. Another classic in Rock/Kurt Angle, even with a pointless Big Show appearance, The slow build to Austin/Rock, although the confusing point where they decided to put in Debra.  Vince McMahon embarrassing Trish on numerous shows, including the infamous bark like a dog segment and Paul Heyman's classic line during that segment. Enjoy the show!

Later than we intended thanks to the flu, here's what was supposed to be stopgap content over the holidays. Make sure to check out the latest Patreon shows, and be on the lookout for the return of the weekly show this Monday. Now, for the original show descriptions:—Part 1:It's Thanksgiving, and you know what that means: A new Patreon deep dive, this time looking at the first ridiculous startup promotion of the post-WCW era, John Collins' Main Event Championship Wrestling. And since he was right in the thick of things, we're joined by our dear from Beau James (@kingofkingsport) throughout this first part (of two, with another episode coming in December). Topics include the initial buzz that Beau heard before the news of the startup broke publicly, Collins paying his guys to appear at shows promoted by Beau and others that he was making zero dollars from, various ridiculous interviews that Collins gave on radio shows, Bill Behrens, Mike Samples, and others publicly warning everyone about Collins' sketchiness, the MECW “TV taping” at the ECW Arena being made a free show at the last minute, Collins doing a TV pilot taping there in the first place after already having shot a separate pilot, Terry Taylor publicly flirting with a job in MECW, all of the drama with Buff Bagwell refusing to do a job for then-NWA World Heavyweight Champion Steve Corino, and much more.Like we keep saying: John Collins is like putting Paul Heyman/ECW, Herb Abrams/the UWF, and Olu Olalyemi/Joe Pedicino/the GWF in a blender. You do NOT want to miss this show. Happy Thanksgiving!Part 2:It's that time of the month, and you know what that means: The second anf final part of our deep dive into the utter disaster that was Main Event Championship Wrestling, John Collins' post-WCW/ECW startup. Topics include everything going to hell after the big "TV taping" at the former ECW Arena, flights to Evansville being cancelled and Collins blaming Paul Heyman when he just hadn't paid for them, an amazing (and lengthy!) lesson in promoting towns from Beau, Collins self-destructing on a conference call with Tod Gordon, Bob Ryder, and Dave Scherer, wrestlers showing up at Collins' home to demand their money, the simultaneous rise of fellow nebulous startups Super Fed and WrestleXpress, Collins harassing Crimson Mask from the Wrestling Classics Message Board on AOL Instant Messenger, Collins "having a heart attack" more than once, MECW's backer being under court order not to spend money since before MECW was even announced, Collins working as a heel manager on shows syndicated by Bill Behrens while Bill's own promotion has a heel doing a Collins parody gimmick, Terry Taylor's "Torch Talk" interview, Collins' SECOND promotion, the Torch's year-end quiz, Collins going to federal prison thanks to MECW, and MUCH more. This is an amazing show and we hope you enjoy it!Timestamps:0:00:00 Prologue & July 20011:55:15 Early August 20013:14:08 Late August 2001 (and Beau's lesson in local promotion)5:11:35 September 20016:19:55 October 2001 and beyondTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.
