In this electric episode of the Wrestling Mayhem Show, Sorg and Rizz welcome indie wrestling favorite Zeke Mercer back to the couch! The crew dives deep into a chaotic week in pro wrestling with a mix of serious takes and absurdity—exactly the way we like it. From R-Truth's epic return and fan-fueled redemption arc to nipple conspiracies and puppet spots, this show covers it all. Zeke shares behind-the-scenes insight into 880 Wrestling, their tag team ambitions, international opponents, and why Pittsburgh crowds cluster like shy raccoons.

Discusses Penn Brewery's unique venue issues and crowd quirks. Talks 880's openness to experimentation and local buzz.
