Wrestling Mayhem Show 1005: Celebrating May 19 with Some Guy Named John
Wrestling Mayhem Show 1005 brings Sorg, Rizz, and Mad Mike back into the studio with special guest Some Guy Named John, and fittingly, the episode lands on one of the strangest dates in wrestling history: May 19.
The show opens with Rizz celebrating his election day victory before Some Guy Named John immediately takes the conversation into WWE horror movie history. Since May 19 marks the 20th anniversary of See No Evil, John delivers a passionate tribute to Kane’s role as Jacob Goodnight, the wild WWE marketing push behind the film, and the strange legacy of WWE Films.
From there, the crew jumps through a wide range of wrestling topics, including Saturday Night’s Main Event, AEW Double or Nothing, the Owen Hart Tournament, NXT’s availability on YouTube, and the strange evolution of premium live events.
The second major thread of the episode focuses on Some Guy Named John’s current independent wrestling world. He explains the latest with Leaders By Example, including Gianni Michael Emricko’s forced membership, Clayton King’s championship situation, unpaid intern Mitch, and upcoming appearances across 880 Wrestling, RWA, and VCW.
By the end, the episode becomes a celebration of why independent wrestling keeps going: weekly shows, committed performers, volunteer crews, and a lot of people working hard because they love the game.
