Max Wrestling Podcast

So after a battle that divided the fanbase, the joy quickly turned to trauma this week on Game of Thrones as Dazzy and The Butcher talk character changes, character losses and the impending "Battle Of The Bitches."

Dazzy and Butcher are back with a whole new show discussing the TV shows and classic DVDs they've been watching including Final Space and Trollhunters: Tales Of Arcadia, plus Grown Ups, Godzilla anime, Transformers The Movie (1986) and An American Werewolf in London. Also why X-Men Origins: Wolverine is worse with the CGI completed and just how many early Bruce Willis movies we haven't seen.

Dazzy, The Butcher and not-Mike Larkin-Emir "Blackbane" Costello are joined by Courtney Summers for another week to discuss the success of her solo podcast debut "Talking Strong Style," plus birthday wishes for promo participant Robert Davis, why NJPW's reliance on Kazuchika Okada is getting tedious, as is Impact putting the World Title on Brian Cage instead of Killer Kross, the return of Jon Moxley, Drew McIntyre shutting down his Money In The Bank opponents and WWE's ratings decline once again in easily our least-WWE mentioned episode of all time!

The biggest battle in TV history, an episode of epic proportions. Dazzy and The Butcher react to the Battle Of Winterfell, every nerve-racking, fist-bumping, heart-wrenching, breath-stealing moment. Plus what comes next for the survivors as we reach the halfway point of the final season of Game of Thrones.

Dazzy and The Butcher are joined by Emir "Blackbane" Costello as he continues to fill in for Mike Larkin, and Courtney Summers. We talk AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins, Paige backing Kairi Sane and Asuka, Bray Wyatt’s new gimmick, The War Raiders get another new name, Charlotte Flair suffocating the women’s title picture, Bobby Roode’s new gimmick, Mike Larkin’s upcoming title defence against The Phoenix, The IIconics’ losing streak, Kevin Owens turns on New Day, Roman Reigns feuding with the McMahons, Tama Tonga buries Enzo Amore, WWE pulls Undertaker and Kurt Angle from Starrcast, the success of Jay White, Cody vs Dustin and the future of AEW.

If last week was the calm before the storm, this week was the party before the storm! We're joined by Courtney Summers to discuss episode 2 of Game Of Thrones' 8th season where all our favourite characters have gathered at Winterfell on the brink of battle with the White Walkers. What do humans do on the eve of battle? Drink, eat, fornicate and insult each other!

Emir "BlackBane" Costello joins us during Mike's short hiatus to react to the reveal of the first round brackets for the King Of The Mic tournament, Mike Larkin's Trivia Takeover challenge and of course - the Superstar Shakeup. From the name change that imploded the internet to Smackdown's "biggest acquisition" and more!

The wait is over! Season 8 has finally arrived and we compare Daenerys and Jon's arrival at Winterfell to Robert and Cersei's arrival in the first ever episode. We also discuss the stand off between Sansa and the Targaryen Queen while Euron beds another queen, meetings and reunions in what we consider an upbeat and comedic episode to ease us back in before the chaos begins...

While recovering from our WrestleMania hangovers, Emir "BlackBane" Costello reports back from his experience at the MetLife Stadium. We react to a surprisingly good "Showcase Of The Immortals," including the trifecta of title wins for Kofi Kingston, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. Plus G1 Supercard Of Honor, The Undertaker's return to Raw and the look ahead to next week's Superstar Shakeup and beyond. And stay tuned for the result of last week's Promo Championship showdown between The Butcher and BlackBane!

Season 2 of Throne Zone kicks off with a catch up and round up of what we know about Game Of Thrones' final season before it arrives next week. We discuss the Night King's agenda, the Lightbringer prophecy, who will survive the Battle Of Winterfell, baby heirs from Cersei and Daenerys, and we come up with new theories regarding Cersei's possible death, and the possible return of Nymeria... both theories involving Arya.

It's been the most built up episode in Max Wrestling history. Emir "BlackBane" Costello will finally defend the Promo Championship against The Butcher. The Phoenix also challenges Knowledge Champion Mike Larkin in a showdown one whole year in the making! Plus we predict NXT Takeover: New York and WrestleMania 35 in this unmissable feature length special!

It’s our 4th anniversary to the day, and complete with a throwback intro to one of our old school opening themes, Dazzy and The Butcher are joined by Courtney “Kross” Summers and Max co-founder The Phoenix to discuss how people are completely falling for the Kofi Kingston angle, the fall of Shinsuke Nakamura, the rise of Killer Kross, Batista vs Triple H, current contracts, The Miz’s current babyface run, and Kourtney jumps into Promo Season with a stern warning!

We also discuss the Elimination Chamber results, Daniel Bryan's WrestleMania opponent and Kofi Kingston's push, Cody's mystery opponent for Double Or Nothing, why DX being inducted into the Hall of Fame is a cop-out and much more!
