Wrestling Mayhem Show 985: Hangman Bleeds, Dom Believes, and Sorg Can Take the Train Now

This week on Wrestling Mayhem Show 984, Sorg, Rizz, and a post-Friendsgiving Mad Mike gather for a holiday episode packed with wrestling analysis, nostalgic side-tracks, and some truly cursed Sora AI Thanksgiving images.

Sorg opens the show fresh off a trip to Seattle, where he attended Defy Wrestling and watched Sting’s son step into his first indie match alongside The Righteous and Vert Vixen. From there, the team dives into AEW Full Gear, breaking down Hangman Page vs. Samoa Joe’s bloody cage match, the formation of the Ops with Hook and Shibata, Swerve’s return, and the Young Bucks choosing loyalty over $1 million. They also explore the Continental Classic blocks and Okada’s path, including a potential long-term Marina Shafir storyline.

Mad Mike joins to shift the focus toward WWE and Survivor Series weekend. The crew debates whether Cena vs. Dominik is the true main event, how injuries impacted the WarGames teams, and how the women’s match may be the sleeper hit. Classic Survivor Series memories, Brock Lesnar jokes, and live vs. taped Thanksgiving shows fill the middle stretch.

The episode also highlights meaningful real-world wrestling community work. Sorg shares news of the 880 Wrestling food drive collecting 307 lbs in one night, and talks about sending an all-women camera crew to Big League Wrestling’s Thanksgiving Eve show.

The show wraps with “What We Learned,” reflecting on AEW’s strong storytelling direction, WWE’s star-heavy but uneven builds, and the ongoing importance of fan communities and indie wrestling efforts.
