Mat Men: Get the Table!

On the latest Mat Men, Andrew and Rich are back with all of this week’s pro wrestling news, rumors and opinions.

  • WWE Raw took place at the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York, Monday. On paper, it was a really strong card but it did execute the way we hoped?
  • AEW Dynamite saw both CM Punk and Bryan Danielson wrestle and a flaming table in a street fight to end the show. Will it help with the numbers?
  • Next week, AEW is live from the UBS Arena and the big question is will they hit 10,000 in attendance? Also, are we seeing live attendance swinging in the favor of AEW? 

We also talk ratings, Sunday’s NXT WarGames, NJPW news, GCW sells out NYC, and more. Plus, we answer your mailbag questions.

Today on Mat Men we are on our way to WrestleMania 37! Andrew and Rich discuss the terrible go-home show for Monday Night Raw. How has WWE gotten to this point?

Wrestlemania 37 is less than a week away and the buzz around it is lacking. Was this due to terrible booking or is the pandemic affecting it?

NXT Takeover is this Wednesday and Thursday and we have the latest on the card and give our predictions and expectations. 

Also, AEW has seen a slip in ratings over the past few weeks. What’s the reason? We might have the answer. 

We also discuss the new NJPW World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho appearing on Broken Skull Sessions with Steve Austin, and more. All this and your viewer questions.
