The mics are hot, the drinks are cold, and Mike and Ace are back—rockin’ Hawaiian shirts and serving up scorching takes from the wrestling world! 🌴🍹

After a brief technical hiccup last week, we're back and making up for lost time. We kick things off with a heartfelt (and heated) tribute to the legacy of Hulk Hogan, then dive headfirst into round one results of our 16-team Random Tag Team Tournament—and yes, there were some upsets! 💥

We break down:

• AEW’s Texas Death Match debacle (again?!)
• The painful brilliance of SummerSlam Night 1 and Night 2
• Seth’s sneaky cash-in (Ace called it!)
• TLC mayhem with 12 (17) people and some crazy bumps
• Jelly Roll’s surprisingly solid debut
• Why Roman’s back and Bronson still can’t catch a break
• And why “The Vision” is more than just a catchy name 👀

Whether you're Team Cody, Team Cena, or just Team “Stop Hitting Me with Chairs,” this episode is jam-packed with passion, predictions, and the kind of energy only a father-son duo can bring.

In this jam-packed episode of Maddening Wrestling Takes, Mike and Ace finally unveil the official lineup for their Random Tag Team Tournament, featuring 16 unique pairings of wrestlers who’ve never teamed before. They also dive into a full rundown of the week in wrestling, including:

• Roman Reigns’ shocking return on Raw and the setup for a major SummerSlam tag match.
• TNA Slammiversary's chaotic production, surprise moments like AJ Styles’ return, and questionable booking decisions.
• WWE’s potential “new faces” of the company—and whether the company is holding Jacob Fatu back.
• Hardy Boyz hot take: Ace drops the maddening take of the week—the Hardys were never good.

All that plus tournament chatter, fantasy booking, and your weekly dose of unfiltered opinions.

The Madhouse is back and reeling from the most jam-packed weekend in wrestling history! Mike and Ace break down four massive shows — NXT’s Great American Bash, WWE Evolution 2, AEW All In, and V1P Collision Course — all in one chaotic, hilarious, and brutally honest episode.

We talk:

• Goldberg’s final(?) match and the unexpected retirement segment
• LA Knight’s rise and Rollins’ real(?) injury
• The return of Jacob Fatu and the downfall of EVP power in AEW
• Dustin Rhodes winning gold and Jelly Roll at SummerSlam
