The Mercedes Mone IG Live Conversation. Literally just yappin'. Apologize for the glitchy sound. This was sent to me by someone on Reddit and its the only content we have of it.

Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/WrestleMania Weekend was HUGE — but what came after? Maybe even bigger. This week on Make Pro Wrestling Majestic Again, we go all in on the chaos, the comedy, and the cringe that only pro wrestling can deliver. And believe me, folks, it was something else!We start with DRAMA, because there's a LOT. Mercedes Moné—who, let's be honest, is just Sasha Banks with a new haircut—apparently has a $99/month text scam going around. Total scam. It's not even her! Meanwhile, Samantha Irvin dropped a music video. If you like thirst traps and auto-tuned karaoke nightmares, you'll love it. Ricochet continues to spiral with more social media meltdowns—maybe focus on landing a job, buddy. And AEW fans? Totally unhinged. They're writing things online about Roxanne Perez that would make a normal person call the FBI. Sad!Then we talk NEWS. WWE fired a bunch of people—some we'll miss, most we won't. Crown Jewel is headed to Perth (Australia, not Scotland—so disappointing). WWE renewed the Edge trademark (smart), and Hulk Hogan—yes, the Hulk Hogan—and Eric Bischoff are launching a new wrestling company. That'll go well, right?

In this week's episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show from five years ago (4-17-2020), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by PWTorch's Cameron Hawkins to discuss WWE Smackdown including the news that this year's Money in the Bank matches will be taking place at WWE headquarters starting on the ground floor and ending on the roof. They also talk about WWE's attempts to make Michael Cole a top candidate to contract the COVID-19 virus with all of the needless close-up-in-his-face interaction with wrestlers week after week, the emotionally charged Sonya Deville-Mandy Rose segment, Braun Strowman's interview on “A Moment of Bliss,” New Day regaining the Smackdown Tag Team Titles, the push of The Forgotten Sons, and more. Then they answer Mailbag questions on a variety of topics including Tamina getting the win over Sasha Banks and where this Triple H “25th Anniversary” celebration could be headed in light of Cole's comment about Triple H having never won the MITB before. The VIP Aftershow features additional email topics including other ideas for future Cinematic style pre-recorded matches, social spacing ideas for Smackdown including adding more atmosphere, rants against Tamina, and the new setting for the MITB matches at the WWE HQs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-shows--3275545/support.
Harley and Em are joined by returning fav Rich Fann and debuting guest Jewell Brown to break down the gender divide in professional wrestling! They play three games where they add wrestlers of different sexes to established teams (Sasha Banks in The Shield??), make some new pairings for a new season of Mixed Match Challenge (Orange Cassidy & Bayley!), and build teams solely off of a random name (Beefy Biz Inc.). Goodbye gendered wrestling divisions!

Happy Tuesday, everyone! For today's episode, I am getting into the ring with my friend Mercedes Varnado (more wrestling puns to come, don't worry). I met Mercedes on The Mandalorian where she plays Koska Reeves, and she is a superstar in the world of wrestling. As Sasha Banks, she was the first woman to headline a WWE Pay-Per-View Event and as Mercedes Moné, she is the current AEW TBS Champion in her first reign. She doesn't give very many interviews out of character, so this was a real treat. We talk about wrestling and acting, and what they have in common, and we just talk about life. It was interesting to hear her reflect on her evolution as an entertainer and what it has taken to become the CEO of her own career. Be sure to get up off the mat and stick around for the Hindsight (see what I did there?) where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview and answer fan questions from the Mail Sack! You can join me for a live recording of The Sackhoff Show at the Indiana Comic Convention! Tickets are on sale here: https://indianacomicconvention.com/feature/the-sackhoff-show/ Send me an email thesackhoffshow@gmail.com Produced by Rabbit Grin Productions Mail Sack Song by Nicolas @producer_sniffles

Buckle up—Big Sexy Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver are back with another no-holds-barred episode of Kliq This, and this week they're going deep on everything from stem cell therapy to horse … well, horse-related stories you definitely can't unhear. (You'll know it when you hear it!) Plus, they talk personal health routines, longevity treatments, and why a collar-and-elbow tie-up with father time can feel a lot like trying to flush a stubborn “Viking ship.” If you're here for stories about wild pranks on the road or how Kevin is staying on top of his game at 65, you found the right place. From behind-the-scenes tales of the nWo days to modern WWE insights, you'll get unfiltered commentary (and probably some unusual visuals) that only Kevin and Sean can deliver.
