It's a super-sized show edition of WrestleRant Radio this week with Graham "GSM" Matthews, RJ Marceau and special guest Jamie Lee Mac immediately addressing the elephant in the room: HEEL JOHN CENA! They're talking the sheer shock of the moment and its excellent execution, Jamie's reaction seeing it live, if it will end up making sense, how it makes his match with Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 more interesting, why he needs to go all out with his presentation as a heel, why it'd be premature to turn him back babyface by 'Mania, why him beating Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship is now a must, if he and The Rock will be joined by a third man, and much more. They've also got thoughts on IYO SKY beating Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship and how it affects the WrestleMania match with Bianca Belair, if Belair will end up going heel after all, the returns of Jade Cargill and Randy Orton, Jamie's experience meeting CM Punk over Elimination Chamber weekend, Raw's guest host era, why they miss the WWE Network and a plethora of other random topics!

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the partial week that was February 23-27, 1996. Topics of discussion include:Vince McMahon extensively talking to Wade Keller and Dave Meltzer on the record and being quite candid in talking about the Ultimate Warrior returning to the WWF, the "suspension" of Razor Ramon, Diesel looking at leaving for WCW, and competing against “Ted Turner.”Raw featuring the Nacho Man and the Huckster on Larry Fling Live.Steve “Dr. Death” Williams not being booked for the AJPW Champion Carnival.AJW looking to go back to their "pop star" roots.El Signo and Pierroth having quite the confrontation at the La Aficion Awards Dinner in Mexico that quickly escalated into a very serious situation, complete with armed federales.El Hijo del Santo doing a rare clean job at Arena Mexico.ECW getting featured on A Current Affair in quite the segment.Bill Dundee returning to Memphis TV after being gone for 6 months in quite the "shoot angle."The complete awesomeness of Lex Luger on Nitro along with Elizabeth's struggle to handcuff Hulk Hogan.This was a wonderful show, so check it out!!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF1:42:18 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, WAR, FMW, IWA Japan, Tokyo Pro, & AJW2:00:30 Classic Commercial Break2:05:01 Halftime3:05:35 Mexico: AAA, CMLL, & Arena Naucalpan3:28:03 Other USA: NWA NJ, ECW, TWWF, MEWF, USWA, Steve “Dr. Death” Williams, NWC, & Mil Mascaras4:25:31 WCWTo 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.

In this week's Flagship Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast from five years ago (2-20-2020), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by PWTorch's Rich Fann. They evaluated the current WrestleMania likely line-up with particular attention to The Fiend vs. Roman Reigns, Randy Orton vs. Edge, Undertaker vs. A.J. Styles, Charlotte vs. Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler, and John Cena vs. Elias. They also discuss Cody's emergence as the centerpiece AEW babyface and his role as the public face of the company as an executive along the lines of Triple H. They also discussed previous night's NXT Takeover follow-up and what's next for Adam Cole, Finn Balor, Dominic Dijakovic, Velveteen Dream, and Keith Lee. They also talk about Jon Moxley, Hangman Page, The Young Bucks, and more. Mailbag questions include comments Jim Ross's announcing, Darby Allin, and more.Then in a bonus segment from two days earlier (2-18-2020), Jason Powell joined Wade for a special Mailbag episode covering these topics for just over 30 minutes: A look at the intriguing WrestleMania Women's matches with disappointing build-up so far, whether there are too many wrestlers in WWE getting a ton of TV time while saying very little, the battle WWE faces with over-saturation and potential changes in the WWE Network offerings, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.

This week's episode brought to you by Indy Wrestling US, Slice on Broadway, Sidekick Media Services and listeners like you at www.Patreon.com/WrestlingMayhemShow Podcast Setup & Tech Issues Hosts are using a new streaming platform, Riverside FM, which presents some minor hiccups. Accidental cross-streaming between Wrestling Mayhem Show and AwesomeCast leads to an early Patreon leak. Sorg is recording from Ann Arbor, Michigan, while Riz is back in Pittsburgh. Streaming Frustrations for Traveling Wrestling Fans The challenges of watching WWE, AEW, and TNA while traveling. VPN Workarounds – Canadian NXT and SmackDown downloads vs. AEW replays on Max. TNA subscription regrets – paying for it but not watching it. The transition from WWE Network to Peacock and its impact on wrestling viewership. The Evolution of Wrestling Streaming Platforms WWE's $5 billion Peacock deal and its business strategy. The shift from independent platforms (IWTV, Highspots) to mainstream services like Netflix and Max. AEW and ROH's Honor Club and how it compares to WWE's model. NXT vs. AEW Women's Division A deep dive into which roster is stronger: AEW: Toni Storm, Mercedes Moné, Julia Hart, Harley Cameron. NXT: Roxanne Perez, Bayley, Jordynne Grace, Julia (STARDOM). The crossover effect – WWE and TNA working together. How AEW's women's division is improving, but NXT's depth might be better. AEW's Booking & Talent Management Ricky Starks Debate – Is AEW underutilizing him? Why aren't AEW's homegrown stars getting main event opportunities? The ongoing issue with certain AEW talents getting "lost in the shuffle" (Miro, Andrade, etc.). The rise of Harley Cameron as an entertainment figure akin to R-Truth. Elimination Chamber & WrestleMania Speculation Women's Chamber Match: Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Naomi, and Roxanne Perez – Who wins? Men's Chamber Match: The Cody Rhodes path to WrestleMania. CM Punk vs. John Cena rumors – Could this be Cena's return match? The “Paul Heyman Favor” mystery and how it could shake up the main event. Crossover Between WWE & TNA Moose appearing on NXT – What does this mean for WWE and TNA's relationship? Former WWE stars returning in TNA – Fandango's reappearance under a different name. Potential matchups: Moose vs. Omos? Jacob Fatu vs. Bron Breakker? Jon Moxley vs. Adam Copeland (Edge) Main Event Is AEW focusing too much on ex-WWE stars in main event positions? The need for homegrown AEW talent to get the spotlight. How this match compares to WWE's booking of older stars like Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Fantasy Booking & AEW vs. WWE Will Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn extend to WrestleMania? Roman Reigns' Mania Plans – Who challenges him? Dream matches for AEW's evolving roster (Bron Breakker vs. Jacob Fatu, etc.). Off-Topic Shenanigans Wrestling Cruises & Themed Cruises: Jericho's Rockin' Wrestling Cruise vs. a potential Juggalo Cruise. Flat Earth cruise… on a round planet? Mayhem at Sea – A future Wrestling Mayhem Show cruise? Disney & Swingers Cruises – (Wait, what?!) "What We Learned" Segment Sorg: Learned that Notorious Norm Connors still lives up to his name after a shocking betrayal at RWA. Rizz: Learned that AEW's booking of Edge vs. Moxley feels like WWE's Ruthless Aggression Era all over again. Jesse (Chat Room): Learned that AJ Francis' car smells great. Tina (Chat Room): Learned that women's wrestling is at an all-time high with Grand Slam's singalong and Bianca/Naomi's tribute to Bring It On.
