Listening to teh show at the moment, @ the WWE denuded ME debate. I'm SHOCKED that, assuming you can take anyone (based off Ian's Hardy/Angle pick), why nobody said 'well, why doesn't Vince throw Brock a few mil. for a six month/1 year run, have him start by killing mid-card/jobbers like Ryder, Kofi, etc and build someone (Bryan for choice) but could even be, say Mason Ryan who they seem intent on pushing as the guy to beat him - instant credible ME face.
On a related note, they need to build at least one more stable, in the horsemen/evolution style. They've got a heel manager (vickie) to build it around and, seriously, it NEEDS to be done. I mean look at what Evo did for both Orton & Batista.
Will try send y'all an e-mail when I'm less intoxicated.
Edit: Ok, I'm pretty much finished, but Ian, your Ryder resolution is bs.I demand you take a REAL challenge. Give Micheal Cole's commantary positive reviews. For one month.
I commented on the site, but here is one last thing...Zack Ryder's theme song starts like this.
"Oh Radio, tell me everything you know"
Just so when you mimic it you know :p
This is the list of WWE PPV's, everthing not bolded is a B PPV. So pick three and send it in so Ian can give WWE some money.
Royal Rumble
Elimination Chamber
WrestleMania XXVIII
Extreme Rules
Over the Limit
Bragging Rights
Money in the Bank
SummerSlam
Night of Champions
Hell in a Cell
Vengeance
Survivor Series
TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs
Edit-Added B PPV's
Awesome stuff Al. We really appreciate the support for the show!
I'm thinking Bragging Rights and Over the Limit are sure fire picks!
Guys, please do take some time to sign up for the podcast page and also 'like' the new MFX page on Facebook. The core support from EFK is critical in getting us out there and noticed.
Thanks guys, hope you enjoy the new show!

Ian, you up for the challenge?

If we can get 35 facebook likes by next weekend (7th January)
I will do it!
That sounds like a wager EFK could win! Let's do it folks, one win for the poor people over the rich for a change! :D

I think Money in the Bank should not be one of the PPVs Ian buys, seeing as the PPV is generally pretty damn good.
Please do 'like' the facebook page guys. Plenty of dudes here I know on FB who haven't yet!
Help us get this show off the ground in 2012!
Thanks again.

Duckman
104 likes in less than a week! Ian should be extra nice to Cole in his reviews.
Hell yeah he should! Awesome response so far. If we can get a few more people sending in topics or letting us know about the first match they saw - then we've got a show for tomorrow!
Remember, get involved via Facebook or email - mfx.show@gmail.com
Thanks again folks.

I suppose this is a safe place to ask for feedback on the new site layout. Comments, concerns, etc.
Also, I've got the podcast feed so that it SHOULD be iTunes friendly now. Have to wait a while for the feed to refresh it looks like, especially in the iTunes Store listing, but it should be fine.
It looks great to me Alex. The logo Gary did is bad ass. The colour scheme is just what I was after. All the social network links are on there. Top work my friend, top work.
Peace
Duckman
You guys should've told me you were changing the website address..gotta redo the logo to reflect that. Btw I got your email Sam and I shall work on those once my new computer is up and running.

Site is looking good, but..
Is it just me, or there isnt a sign of a contact email to send in questions? (I know you guys are taking in comments from FB, but I cant find a link to the email addy on the site?)
I know what it is, but I want to be able to see it to send in some discussion topics/questions.
Also I rated it on iTunes and left a review, hope it was ok because this apart from Scott Mills and Moyles is the only Podcast I DL (apart form the EFK one)
That would be the email button, which I just fixed the link for. I can add something in text just to make the email address itself more noticeable, though.

Yeah, Something obvious would be good because I overlooked that because it blended it with the white background. And I looked around for a way to contact the show, but missed that by a a mile

Done, and done. Rearranged the sidebar a bit, as well.
Nice one Alex. Gary has done us some new banners for WLH and Indy Corner. Could you see if you can get those on there at some point? I'll email them to you.
If they could both go in Friends and Affiliates that'd be excellent.
Thanks buddy.

It was Nowinski, not Swagger in the debate with Steiner.
The Dog Show was so heavily advertised because it was on air previous to Raw and up until Raw returned to the USA Network from Spike TV, USA would bump Raw for the Dog show. Raw used to also be bumped for Tennis all the time too.
Spud is a cunt

your RAW intro makes me think of...
Iron Shiek's FACK 'N' BOOLSHEET (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDUUhdcQoBM#)
Oh yeah, was gonna mention, I'm pretty sure the Shiek is saying "FACK", not 'WHAT'. I watch a lot of Botchamania and at least one of the clips it's taken from, he yells "FAAAAACKING BOOOLSHEEET!" (yes, like that)
Like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1QCBF3h_tM#ws)
[edit] and if you haven't seen the RF shoot interview its from look it up. look bits of it up. it's all hillarious. especially when the above bit is put in context...
[spoiler]he's yelling fucking bullshit to his drug dealer[/spoiler]
Shiek needs his own reality TV series. Like now.
Listening to the Raw review right now, it's great. Thanks for the Turtle appreciation, looking forward to everyone in the world wondering why #IAppreciateSteveTheTurtle and #TurtlePower trending. It'll be fun.

My only critique is Ian's mic seems to have a habit of, for lack of a better term, pulling a "John Cena." You know what I mean, it will be very quiet so you can barely hear Ian, and then it will be normal volume, but then it will go quiet again... then back to normal.
Good show overall.
WWE: Brodus Clay 4th Theme Song - "Somebody Call My Momma" (iTunes Release) + Download Link á´´á´° (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIpDl_C5JwA#ws)
Thanks for the feedback so far folks. Please do keep it coming and please do get involved with MFX.
We're hoping you guys here on EFK will support this project and help us build our audience. We created EFK a few years back to give everyone a place to come that was drama free and concentrated on the positive aspects of the game. I think we've done that and then some!
We now need your help and support. Even if it's just a RT on Twitter for the show. Or a like on Facebook. Or maybe send a question or a topic for discussion via email. Literally things you can do in a second that can mean a big deal to MFX and it's visibility in the crowded world of wrestling podcasts.
Please take a few minutes a week to feedback on MFX if you listen. If you aren't listening you really should as Ian and I take the same laid back and comical attitude we had on the EFK podcasts and incorporate it into the week's wrestling in WWE and TNA. It means a shit lot to us to have support and encouragement from EFK and we always try to do the same for you guys with your outside projects.
This post does have a slightly 'begging' feel to it, which I hate, but we don't seem to be getting much in the way of support from EFK bar a small handful of guys who have been with us from the start.
On the subject of Ian's mic, I think I've worked out what that is and hopefully it'll be sorted for the show next week.
Thanks folks, hope to see more MFX love from EFK! We need you.

MFX 17 is here!! Yes it's late. But fear not, it's here! And it's awesome. The only wrestling podcast presented by a Scotsman and a Englishman that's listened to by an Irishman that you'll ever need.
We talk WWE, TNA and even a bit of UFC! All the usual inappropriate childish humour and tiny nuggets of insight you've come to know and love with MFX! Check the podcast page for full details. Enjoy and spread the word of MFX!

A few years ago, we went to Oregon for a vacation of Fishing.
We stopped at a random restaurant near the Ocean called the "Gally Ho".
The Waitresses all had shirts reading "I love the Ho."
While holding the money to pay the bill, my Dad blurts out, "So.. Which one of you is the Ho?"

You know Ian totally ruined my life long dream on this show. If you haven't listened yet, you really should, just for that.
In fact this show is one of my favourite ones we've done so far.
Give it a shot EFK if you haven't already and help us make MFX as great as this place has become!

Absolutely loving the new look, very swish. Will listen to this show after watching a TNA PPV. You heard me right, I'm about to watch No Surrender and it's all down to Sir Ian and Duckman.
Have to say before I listen congrats on the huge number of people liking the page, I doubt you ever considered this amount of success so I'm very proud of you guys.
MFX19 is in the bag. You remember how we said we really loved TNA? Yeah, about that...well you'll just have to listen to the show when it drops tomorrow!!
We of course have to cover the terrible scenes with Jerry Lawler on RAW and get some listener thoughts on what happened. Plus we ask the question: should the show go on? A lot of interesting answers and stories from listeners.
It's not all sombre and intense for too long. This is MFX! We talk the rest of RAW and the CM Punk vs John Cena promogeddon! Sir Ian defines Lipshitz in his Be a Star campaign. Plus IMPACT and No Surrender from TNA get a bit of a kicking.
All fucking Hogan's fault...again...brother.
Kick off your weekend in style with MFX19 - Redefining a Wrestling Podcast. MFX19 drops tomorrow. X marks the spot!

Taking a while to listen, but is that Marq in the Electric Demon Sex commercial?
MFX20 is recorded! Show drops tomorrow. It's our last for a few weeks while Sir Ian goes on holiday to the States. We cover Night of Champions, RAW and IMPACT plus we answer a few listener questions.
We wander our way through the insanity of Hulk Hogan, to the confusion of RAW, past the well, it was pretty good but not much really happenedness of Night of Champions, taking a right turn at snark avenue and a left on hilarity street before finally reaching our destination - wrestling podcast perfection.
MFX20 - a rocking fucking riot of a wrestling podcast! Show drops tomorrow!

MFX20 is here!! Your once in a week time, NSFW, I'm The Tag Team Champions wrestling podcast!
Honestly, do you even need anything else in your life apart from MFX? The answer, is course, no.
We've got Night of Champions, RAW and IMPACT reviews plus more laughs and childish humour than it's legal to consume in one sitting.
This is our last show for 3 weeks while Ian goes on holiday, so we've gone all out for you guys as only MFX can!

So Cap'n Josh is the NXT GM after a hard night of drinking?
With Captain Josh he just wears a girl's thong...after all she might need a spare one when she's out banging some other guy.

Did you guys notice the improved audio quality on this show? Did a bit of magic on the audio files and it seemed to turn out well.

Alex Kback says FEED ME MORE MFX!
Great stuff as always, fellas.
Been listening to the latest episode. Good stuff as always.
I'm around the part of the show discussing Wade Barrett's finisher, which is basically just Nigel McGuinness' old Cobra Clutch Lariat but with an elbow smash instead.
I don't mind it actually, and I think it's a damn sight better than his old 'cruiserweight transitional move to set up some big aerial spot', but I've been trying to think up some alternative.
First, and most basic I think would just be the old Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich Discus Punch, but I thought that was a little too basic.
Then I was thinking about this one move Naomichi Marufuji does where he suplexes a guy into a superkick, as seen here:
Vertical Suplex Flash Kick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsOUwmCzgdU#ws)
I wouldn't expect Barrett to do a superkick out of it obviously, but you could easily modify it to do a European Uppercut or just a straight up punch in the face.
But I kind of like the way a simple move just gets that little bit more impact with a rotation, and of course I always dig innovation, so I´ve come up with a pretty snazzy little idea for a move myself.
I´m assuming you´re all familiar with the Tiger Spin, and if not, here´s an example:
Tiger Spin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpcNb3t9U54#)
Basically, the way this move works is, you take the first transition from the headlock in that move, float around into a hammerlock, twist around into a position kind of like for Kofi Kingston's SOS, then while still controlling the outside arm continue to spin around from there and in one smooth motion discus punch the opponent in the side of the head.
It's reasonably simple enough to do but requires just enough speed and coordination for it to be impressive, it would have a constant controlling element and appear disorienting for the opponent as the attacker basically loops them, would be a throwback to the classic European-style wrestlers, would turn a simple headlock into an instant threat since you'd never know at what point it can be transitioned into, and gives a lot more added momentum to make something so simple and basic as a punch in the face look devastating enough to be a believable finish.
I'd go with any of them but WWE really fucked it with the name The Souvenir. Such a sucky ass name and it doesn't even make sense. It's something for the guy to take with him to remember Barrett by...surely being KOed to FUCK would mean you wouldn't remember? Or maybe I'm over thinking this.
Either way I still think a KO type move for a finisher is a good idea for Barrett. It just sucks for Kassius Ohno in NXT because that's kinda his whole gimmick!
Cheers for listening JB and glad to hear you're enjoying MFX.
I can't wait to get it back on air when Ian gets out of that Atlanta prison some time around 2015.
Peace
Duckman
Well, I was more thinking - they remember the fact that he knocked them the hell out. I mean, you don't forget getting smashed in the face that hard, right?
First of all +1 for Mr. Worldbeater, always love reading his insights.
Now about the podcast... my interest in WWE and TNA is waning so much that if it wasn't for your highly entertaining presentation I just simply would not give a crap at this point.
However ages ago you guys also used to cover Indy (at least in one or two shows, the one where you reviewed ROH's ppv for example) and I really enjoyed this because Sam was the expert and the passionate one about it so could really stress what impressed him and what disappointed him, but Ian was the newbie to it all, the one people like me could relate to and get an idea of how it would come across to us if we were to give it a chance. You guys made the perfect team for covering it, and I will admit I lost interest in listening to the Indy stuff after it got shifted to the Indy corner Though I did enjoy the interviews). Sam and Ian were better at getting new people interested in Indy wrestling because of the dynamics.
So I wonder if you would consider alotting some time again to that. I understand that there is a certain network now and you don't all want to be treading on each others toes, but just to let you I for one would love to hear it.
Alright bitches, listen up. You thought MFX was the single most entertaining and bad ass wrestling podcast BEFORE we went on holiday? Just wait until you hear us when we come back....NEXT WEEK!! That's right, MFX is BACK!
TNA Bound for Glory review. Monday Night Raw review. PLUS - CM Punk slaps the wrong nerd, Hulk Hogan's sex tape, Raw ratings tank, Vince is back on TV - holy shit Sir Ian Trumps has got a lot to catch up with!
MFX is back next week and if that doesn't get your undergarments moist, we don't know what will. MFX makes it's triumphant return! Call your Mommas and tell your friends. MFX is back, get ready to unleash your inner snark!
EFK - the wait is finally over! Your weekly dose of wrestling podcast hilarity has returned! That’s right folks, MFX is BACK and we’re better than ever! You didn’t think it was possible for MFX to get any more entertaining than it already was? Just wait till you hear this show! Sir Ian is back from three weeks in the US and that means MFX 21 is here for your listening pleasure.
We come crashing back into your lives with a show so entertaining and so insightful, that the UN are considering sanctions against us because we make all those other wrestling podcasts out there look bad. But that’s not going to stop us!
Duckman and Sir Ian bring you the most entertaining review of TNA Bound for Glory you will find anywhere on these here interwebs. We cover all the matches, all the angles, all the run-ins, all the disappointing reveals and all the wrong winners of great matches. Of course it wouldn’t be a MFX review without some jokes and thanks to TNA’s weird booking and Hulk Hogan being a walking joke, we’re sure you’ll have plenty of fun with our look at the show. Plus we discuss your thoughts on the show and as always they’re awesome!
We wrap up the show with a look at WWE Monday Night Raw and The Rise of Ryback. You know how these things go â€" it’s a three hour Raw with about an hour of decent content. So expect tangents to be traversed and laughs aplenty. We also discuss just how the heck WWE are going to come up with a finish for the Punk v Ryback match at Hell in the Cell. As always the MFX Galaxy shares their thoughts on the highs and lows of the show.
So three weeks of hell is over. MFX rocks back with a show that is stacked full of childish nonsense, great wrestling discussion and more entertainment than it’s legal to consume in one sitting. The week in wrestling has never sounded so damn entertaining!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with next week’s show through all the usual channels. Cheers!

Let us know what you thought of the show man. The same goes for anyone else on EFK who listens to the show. How'd our comeback go?
Peace
Duckman
A triumphant comeback it was, gents. Awesome form, Ian's stories had me in stitches, BFG sounded terrible/forgettable and RAW could have been better in some spots while it was good in others. Looking forward to getting you two back in a weekly basis now.
I think Duckman and me should be proud of this post...seems we got a lot of people seeing what we are doing. If I am completely wrong about this being awesome, let me bask in some glory for a bit...
Great show as always guys. The random BS at the begunning was utterly hillarious and probabloy my favourite bit of the show until I got a kudos for passing on the Brock/Punk/Cena/Ryback theory I heard (much as I wish I'd come up with it myself, afraid i can't take the credit for this one).
But speaking of the above and how I'd do such a thing, if it actually happened, I have a question for you guys. Specifically 'If you were to use the Punk-Heyman-Brock link to form a new stable, ala a new 'Dangerous Alliance', who else would you put in it'?
I would listen if it was JUST Ian and Duckman shooting the shit about all the hilarious stuff going on. I barely even watch RAW at all anymore and I really have zero interest in TNA, but these type of podcasts are something to look forward to.
Keep it up!
MFX 22 is here! A righteous, riot of a wrestling podcast! It's Grado time! That's right, MFX is finally on the Grado bangwagon and we aren't getting off. If you don't know who Grado is, you soon will! Of course we cover TNA Impact and RAW in our usual rambling, barely coherent style. It's a long show this week folks but worth every second!
Check out the podcast page for full details on the show this week! Enjoy and be sure to get involved in future MFX shows.

That looks fuckin' brilliant.
MFX23 is recorded. No hype or promotional bs needed for this one folks. Simply put, our funniest show ever! My sides are hurting from laughing so much. We review Hell in the Cell, Raw and Impact. But the real gold is with Ryback, Jeff Hardy, Hulk Hogan and so much more. Show drops tomorrow! Get excited!
Peace
Duckman
MFX23 is here!!! We give the usual MFX treatment to Hell in the Cell, Raw and Impact. But that really doesn't do the show justice. This is about more than just reviews, this is about Ryback: Lord of the Rings - Ironchef of Middle Earth. This is about Jeff Hardy's inner monologue. This is about Hulk Hogan having no idea who anyone in TNA is.
This is MFX23 and it's going to make you laugh. Believe us!

I've had a pretty boring and depressing day, this was about the only thing I'd been looking forward too and it cheered me up.
still listening, but when you started into the RAW bit and were going on about the Pyro and stuff, I started to go 'CREEEEEEEEATCHUUURS!' - ala Ian's Jeff Hrdy Impersonation. Stopped. And then a second later Duckman did it and I shit a fucking brick. Propper Twilight zone shit.
... yes I am a bit drunk. So fucking what?
enjoying it so far guys. TBU as i listen on...
Edit: Chef Ryback bit = hillarious. Aragon.... bring the taragon - that legit killed me
Edit x2: Lawler as GM would work. I wholeheartedly second this. Admittedly anything to keep him off commentary and JR on, but... yeah, I can totally see it
Edit x3: Alzheimers Hogan... has just surpassed LoTR Ryback as funniest bit of the show
Fin: Awesome show guys. Awesome show. hillarious.
And I request the following be given the Jeff Hardy BiPolar monolgue - since it is the most infamous line of the most common exposioner of that style, the one and only... Frank Miller.
(http://i3.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/000/234/GoddamnBatman.jpg)
What, are you DENSE? Are you RETARDED or something? Who the hell do you THINK I am? I'm the GODDAMN JEFF HARDY!
What, are YOU dense? Are you retarded OR something? Who the hell DO you think I am? I'm the goddamn JEFF Hardy! JEFF, damn it! CREEEEEATUUUURES
~ Now THAT's what I'd imagine that line would be like.
Anyways, I loved this week's edition. So much so that I'm starting to become more and more like Ryback...and I have both the appetite and red eye to prove it.

That and the fact that Wade Barrett actually tweeted this song on his account, it kinda became a meme. Still funny to this day, that was the reference...
It's that time of the week when you can forget about work, family, friends and anything else that annoys you. That's right - MFX is HERE!! MFX reaches a quarter of a century with MFX25!

PSY - Wrestling style . Daniels & Kazarian . TNA. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNanc5GWgTY#ws)
thanks to the above, end up watching the actual Gagnam Style video, think its over, click on the MFX podcast to start it up and have the 'Hey this is Kevin Steen...' bit start up just as an instrumental of the Gagnam riff hits. This... works so well I actually close the window, just to make sure this isn't some MFX trickery
... the Tax Rebate thing seems to be an 'after 5 years or so we realized we cocked up' thing, 'cos I got one last year (which paid for my Mass Effect 3 - I was part time so I only got 80 quid :( ) from what I'm sure must've been a Lillywhites salary since that was the only stable job I'd had in the past 5 years (and at the time I was unemployed to boot). So... yeah...
... FNORD! Do I get league points for ADR's music being played on MFX? I think I should.
Spud's the only one of the UK wrestlers you mentioned that I've seen. And I will admit, he is good. He nearly kicked a DVD into my groin once. But he is good.
... so, does Borash get a Dire Straits cover then? Sultan of Singger & all...
... ballpeen hammer?
... should this 'Kineely (sp) guy who is there to take their jobs' turn out to be the Aces & 8s bought and paid for commentary guy? I don't watch TNA, but I think this should be a thing. Especially if he only commentates a certain part of the show (AKA the A&8 bits and important angles related to them).
I think what Ian should have said re. Joe/Magnus is that Joe should have gone over, but against someone other than Magnus. Give him a couple more months killing mid-upper mid guys to establish both Joe and the belt, THEN put Magnus over him and make him a star. I'm sure there's someone like Anderson or someone they could have used for this. DO IT TNA! DO IT!!!
When you mentioned RVD going back to WWE for one last big pay day I started to go 'YEAH!' ... and then I thought... 'who'd he match up against'... and outside of Punk I can't see him putting over anyone (admittedly he could have an awesome match against Daniel Bryan, but so could my last wank rag, and you KNOW he'd want to go over if he came back. It's why he'll NEVER leave TNA, because they protect him like WWE protects Orton).
Gagnam Style is a K-pop song that became an internet meme that somehow became popular. Apparently, from what I understand, it translates as some kind of harsh condemnation of North (I think) Korea. It's an Internet Meme... AN INTERNET MEME!!!
The Lawler recussitacion stuff - OF COURSE they filmed it. If he comes back, as he did, it's a) inspirational and b) if/when a heel uses it it gives them more heat (ala Punk). And if he died... odds are that would NEVER have been shown. And you know that footage was used with Lawler's blessing, because otherwise he wouldn't have been there. Its kinda the first rule of broadcasting - film anything you think will be useful, even if you never use it. Better to have it and never use it than not have it and need it later... and DAMN I'm a cynic.
... amd so are you guys by the sound of it. And now its all good...
Just listened to the most recent show over the last couple of days.
First of all, I just wanna say this: I've had a subscription to the Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Weekly site for a while now, and they pretty much put out 1 or 2 or sometimes even 3 or 4 shows A DAY.
I bring this up because right now on my Podcast subscription list I have a backlog of about 100 shows dating back to mid-October that I haven't yet got around to listening to, and as that backlog gets bigger and bigger I lose more and more interest in bothering to listen to it.
When the new Marks for Excellence podcast comes out every week, I immediately d/l it, listen to it as soon as I can, and laugh my ass off.
I was actually having lunch today while listening to the show at around the point when you guys were discussing this fuck-awful pointless Cena/AJ angle (exhibit A of why I no longer give a pinch of shit about WWE programming), and when Ian said something like 'they're touching pee pees and dee dees' I laughed so hard I nearly choked on my sandwich. So I think you can take that as a glowing review of the show.
As far as the talking points, I still don't have a lot of interest in TNA TBH, but it still sounds a damn sight better than the shit that gets crapped out on the average episode of RAW.
I think it's pretty clear for all concerned though is that the fucking Aces and Eights angle is just a boat anchor around the neck of the whole show that keeps it from being something much better, and the fact that it's such a huge focal point of the show, has been and will probably still be dragging on forever with no end goal in sight just taints what otherwise sounds like a perfectly good wrestling show. Well, that and the backwards-thinking booking that they have to put over guys who were big in other companies.
But that ladder match from Turning Point sounds pretty sick. Just goes to prove that when he's motivated and not pilled out of his gourd Jeff Hardy really is a great wrestler, and given somebody the calibre of Aries to work with only good things can come out of it.
The recap of RAW though... God, that just fucking depresses me, and through no fault of you guys, just the lousy fucking content of the show.
That Punk/Lawler thing really just disgusts me because it's just takes the business back to the kind of lowlife, carnie-level sleaze that really does nothing for anyone, and it's especially disheartening to get that kind of shit from people you know should be above that kind of bargain-basement cheap heat (exhibit B of why I no longer give a pinch of shit about WWE programming).
I mean, sleaze can be a good thing for entertainment. Joey Ryan is a total sleazebag character, and by all accounts he's a great character. ECW was practically built on sleazy characters engaging in sleazy storylines. But that's just the thing: they were CHARACTERS in STORYLINES. They were works of fiction made up for the purposes of entertaining people.
There's nothing remotely entertaining about bringing up the very real near-death experience of a beloved figure who has been major part of the experience of a WWE show for over 20 odd years, showing very real footage of the guy being DEAD TO THE WORLD for all intents and purposes, and then making light of the situation to get some unearned reaction, and then having the fucking gall to just move on like nothing even happened and go back to the business of your regular cheesy, stupid, poorly-written garbage television fake wrestling show.
That kinda shit doesn't add one single ticket sale or pay-per-view buy or draw one more eyeball to the show. In fact I'd like to think that if anybody saw that one their TV screen, they'd turn that shit off, and if they had bought a ticket to a WWE event or ordered a PPV, they'd cancel and ask for their money back. I know I would.
It's just like you guys said; it's exploitation, and the worst kind of it. I mean, fuck, can you imagine if after Owen Hart fell to his death, a couple weeks later they were showing footage of the fall on TV, making jokes about it and using it as fodder for an angle? Fuck, they'd probably get thrown off the air and nobody would want to do business with them again for being evil, despicable, sick motherfuckers trying to profit from the death of one of their employees. A death that was arguably THEIR FUCKING FAULT.
Obviously, it's a very different situation, but I don't think it's any less despicable to try to take a very real, very near tragedy and turn it into a stupid fucking storyline. It's just fucking pathetic and unnecessary.
And I'm sorry, but the kind of people that would say, 'Oh, this is just like the Attitude Era! This is great stuff, let's have more of it!' are, IMO, a pack of delusional nitwits who don't know what they're talking about and could do with a good hard smack in the face.
*Sigh* It really is this kind of bullshit that makes me glad I don't really watch wrestling anymore, aside from the occasional match or segment or DVD, and even then only if I hear it's really good. At least I have shows like this to keep me posted about what's going on in the wrestling scene, and more importantly to give me something to be cheerful about.
That's just my 2 cents anyway.
Dudes, fucking AWESOME feedback! JB, glad to hear we're your lifeboat as you drift in the endless, black sea that is mainstream wrestling these days!
SO many people have sent me that Gangam video over the past week! I still don't fucking get it. At all.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for listening to the show and continuing to support it. Feedback and comments like these are what makes sitting through 3 hours of RAW every week worth it!
Thanks again lads, new show will be up this week and it should be fun, Impact was fucking horrendous this week but SO much comedy gold. I'm about to do a double header of Survivor Series and RAW. And I'm out of weed. So if the show doesn't go up this week, it's because I killed myself during the latest AJ/Cena tween-gasm bullshit that passes for 'rasslin' these days.
On a side note, the more I watch Raw, the more I think about that South Park episode where they ripped on wrestling. It's SO true to life these days it's scary!
Right, time for 6 hours of WWE...once into the breach again dear friends! See ya on the other side!
Peace

I'm sorry, but I think this is a case of rose-coloured glasses tinting one's view of the Attitude Era. It was the Attitude Era where Ed Ferrara began mocking Jim Ross's Bell's Palsy in both WWF and WCW. Even though Big Show's father had legitimately died several years prior to the angle, they still had the Big Bossman mock everything with the "dragging the casket while Big Show rode atop it" stunt.
The fact that people are disgusted by the fake heart attack thing is likely the reaction they were going for, to put over Punk and Heyman as antagonists and you don't have to agree with them doing such a stunt, but it's that kind of pushing the envelope which made the Attitude Era what it was. What people are saying in this case is just what Heyman said on RAW, people whine about the PG rating and crying for the Attitude Era to come back, but the first time they push the envelope, they're offended by it.
You can't pull a WWE and just pick and choose the awesome moments from the Attitude Era while denying the existence of the tripe like Katie Vick or, even though it wasn't actually part of the Attitude Era, McMahon mocking religion.
Furthermore, if you're going to get offended by the fake heart attack, what about JBL telling Jerry Lawler not to have a heart attack at the beginning of the Survivor Series PPV? How about Titus O'Neil making light of it on commentary on RAW? I also don't buy the nonsense that because it was Jerry Lawler who had the heart attack that he's the only one who can make light or joke about it, just like I think it's ludicrous that racial slurs are only acceptable amongst those the slurs target.
Attitude Era Jerry Lawler Promo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aWKM-UZD3E)
It's the kind of programming you would have never seen on RAW so long as Linda McMahon was running for political office and, before the naysayers chime in, don't you find the timing just a little too convenient that the FIRST RAW after the election and Linda deciding not to seek public office, the envelope is pushed in such an offensive direction?

Ok, first of all dude, yeah there was a lot of stupid shit that happened in the Attitude Era when they were doing tasteless angles to try to be 'edgy', like the ones you mentioned. And you know what? NOBODY LIKED THEM! They were garbage then and they're still garbage now.
You wanna bring up the Big Show/Bossman angle? Well guess what, that was a gigantic failure. Nobody liked the fucking awful angle and consequently nobody bought the fucking PPV to see the fucking match, so 'pushing the envelope' was blew up in their faces in that case.
Secondly, nobody fondly remembers the Attitude Era for doing shit like that because IT WASN'T ANY FUCKING GOOD, so when you make the comparison between the two and try to say 'it's like the Attitude Era therefore it must be good' you're COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT.
And yes, you can pick and chose which things you liked about the Attitude Era and which things you didn't like. It's called 'having taste', and it's a ridiculous distinction to make that if you like the good stuff about the Attitude Era that made it so fondly remembered, you also have to like the absolute crap as well.
And finally, yes, if a guy is dying or has survived almost dying, it's ok for him to make jokes about it because that's how he deals with it. I know because my dad was doing the same thing when he was dying from cancer just a few months back. And I know that if anybody was maliciously making fun of his death, I'd have beaten the unholy shit out of them without a second thought. End of story.
The fact of the matter is, every single one of those bad taste angles bombed because they were poorly received and did nothing to motivate people to watch the show or buy the product, especially when they pulled the exploitative bullcrap.
They didn't sell tickets, they didn't draw viewers, they didn't build interest in matches and you know what else, they didn't even really get heat on the heels! When you see an angle like this, you don't actually think 'Oh, that jerk, CM Punk! How dare he say things like that! I can't wait to see that guy kick his ass!' What you actually think is 'FUCK THE ASSHOLE THAT WROTE THIS SHIT!'
When you bring up the real circumstances of a guy's real near-death experience and try to turn into a storyline, sorry, not buying it. Fun-time entertainment hour is officially over, we ain't playing no more. That's the point when you stop being entertainment and go into the territory of being exploitative trash.
All those bad taste angles only served to make the company look bad, and IMO this is no exception. It makes the angle look bad, it makes the people involved look bad, it makes the company look bad, and if history is any indication, it will do absolutely no good for business, ratings, ticket sales or PPV buys. So, in short, there was no upside to it.
It was just a cheap shock tactic to try to get some cheap heat on Punk without having to do anything earn it by doing something offensive for the sake of being offensive.
It's that time of the week you've all been waiting for. No not Thanksgiving. No not the Walking Dead. No it's not pay day. It's MFX TIME!!! Yeah, much better than all those other things.
MFX 26 is here and boy oh boy do we have another great show for you guys this week.
We give Survivor Series, Raw and Impact the usual MFX treatment and we're sure you'll find some nuggets of comedy gold in there! We discuss why John Cena can't kiss, why Hulk Hogan hates everyone and so much more.
Check the podcast page for more details on the show. You really don't want to miss this one.

I wish you would continue to say "thankyou, thankyou" after the cheers at the end of the song like you used to
I just remembered something. One thing I miss from the description is what songs you used for the breaks.
Meme is pronoucned as 'Meem', short for Memetic Mutation, which is described by that fount of all time wasting tools TV Tropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MemeticMutation) as 'usually described as a catchy derivative of some aspect of pop culture, parodied and repeated to the point that its origins and original meaning become muddled and completely mutilated beyond any point of recognition or humor.' Duckman's 'wetback' comment or Ian's 'drowning downies' thing would be examples of EFK memes.
Talk about Game of Thrones Chef Ryback and his foody speaking thing, reminds me of somethign I forgot to put in my Raw feedback - do you think Ryback is only after the title because he thinks its actually made of chocolate and wrapped in gold foil? Because thats what i thought when he started talking about 'feasting on the WWE championship'
Ian's 90's kid/Attitude era schtick and Sheamus impersonations are gold. We need more of this.
Nice show guys. The Raw bit was definitely the highlight.

It was just a cheap shock tactic to try to get some cheap heat on Punk without having to do anything earn it by doing something offensive for the sake of being offensive.
I'm not defending the skit, hell I haven't even
seen it as I have watched very little of RAW since the move to 3 hours, I'm just saying people shouldn't kid themselves that trash like it didn't exist in the Attitude Era, yet people cry for the return of the Attitude Era in what is essentially wanting to have their cake and eat it too.
The fact is, Vince wanted Punk and Heyman to do it, so while they are reported to have not been comfortable with it, even if Jerry was opposed to it (though he let Miz do the whole angle when his mother died), what Vince wants Vince will usually get.
Let's not forget that even if something happened to Vince himself, Vince wouldn't shy away from turning it into a storyline. Remember when Vince had the motorcycle accident and, as JR put it "broke his butt"? The next thing we know there's a hospital skit which I believe not only introduced Mr. Socko but had Steve Austin apparently shove stuff up Vince's ass and hit him in the head with a bedpan for good measure.
In Vince's mind, if he's willing to do pretty much anything for the show, then he expects everybody else to do so. Had Lawler died, then I don't think there's any chance that they would have had Punk and Heyman boasting about it, but with Jerry making a full recovery, Vince probably feels the subject is fair game.
Do I agree with that? No. Am I offended by it? Well, since I only read about it, I saw it for what it was: cheap heat. We're talking about the man who wanted to do an incest angle where it was either Shane or Vince himself who was the father of Stephanie's baby, or kept referring to Shane as "the product of my semen" in his "McMahonism" feud with Shawn Michaels. Vince is clearly screwed up and that's why we've gotten stuff like the fake heart attack and Katie Vick.
The only way WWE will know that they have gone too far with something isn't whether the fans are offended by it, but whether the sponsors are offended and pull their support. The best we can do is STOP WATCHING IT and stop ordering the PPVs or supporting Classic on Demand/WWE Network/whatever. Because when you get to the core, we're TALKING about it, which means the stunt worked.
I don't personally care if the Attitude Era is rekindled or not, what I want is for RAW to be scaled back to two hours, and for John Cena to get it through his head that "PG" does not meant he has to dumb the product down to pre-school levels. I don't want to think to myself "Oh, there's a rerun of Stargate, which I also happen to have on DVD and can watch any time I want, at the same time as RAW. Better switch over." The rating doesn't matter, it's the CONTENT of the show which will determine whether or not I can be bothered to tune in. As it stands, it's clear WWE is doing everything they can to make their product unwatchable.
I don't know whether the only reason I watch WWE is to listen to the podcast or if I've actually got an emotional attachment to wrestling. I think if it wasn't for this show, as WWE is right now, I could probably stop watching wrestling all together and not care.

Snap, JB, I'm all for healthy debate, but the threads getting a little off topic here and lost...this is the thread for promoting the podcast after all.

Great show again, guys. Very much looking forward to the Xmas show.
Just got a few things of note I wanted to talk about.
- Ian's story about the 'Omen' kid has gotta be one of the all-time highlights of the show so far. That's just one of those stories where you hear it go like 'this can't be real, it sounds like something you'd see on TV', but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
Stories like that just make the show, and I hope you guys will continue with this sort of format of just shooting the shit in the opening segment before you get into the run-downs of the shows. Just makes for great radio IMO.
- I gotta say Quackers, I'm disappointed. You really couldn't remember another lie detector segment on a wrestling show? Like, say, for example this:
[spoiler]mr america's lie detector test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HburE7g_tMg#)[/spoiler]
- I actually just got why Cesaro's finisher is called the Neutraliser while I was listening to the show.
Get it? 'Neutraliser'. 'Cause he's from Switzerland. :|
- Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't John Cena already win a MITB briefcase at that PPV? I'm pretty sure he did. And having just looked it up, it seems he cashed that one in a failed with it. So yeah, calling bullshit on this angle if he's gonna try to basically steal somebody else's shot.
I really don't get how Cena is a babyface TBH. The guy's an obnoxious dick who evidently lies, cheats, steals and weasels his way into title matches he's done nothing to deserve, acts like a spoiled, bratty child and makes shitty, grade-school jokes and disingenuously jumps on the bandwagon for any act that gets even the slightest bit of popularity, not to seriously endorse them but to keep himself in the spotlight.
The guy's character is the dorkiest little turd burglar I've ever seen promoted as a main event babyface. I really don't get it.
- While we're on the subject, I don't get Ryback either. He's like Ultimate Warrior without any shred of the weird charisma. I mean, what is his persona supposed to be? What's interesting about him? Why should I give a fuck about anything he does?
As far as I know he's a big roided-up bald geek who raided RVD's wardrobe, has spent months beating job guys and cutting food-themed promos. The guy is entirely built around a one-note catchphrase. He's basically this year's equivalent of Carlito Carribean Cool or Mr. Kennedy Kennedy.
I mean, yes, I understand how he got 'over'. He had a catchphrase that he repeated over and over until it caught on, and he won match after match for months and no one could beat him. It's not exactly rocket surgery.
But come on, the guy's clearly green as grass has already been exposed for not really living up to the hype. The guy's only looked 'good' in squash matches designed to put him over, he stunk up the joint when he got the big main event match against a talented guy with a smoke and mirrors-heavy stip, he isn't much for promos, and he's even demonstrated numerous times that he doesn't have the strength to back up the hype.
If anything, he's purely an example of how easy it is to get any average joe over when you market them properly and push them hard enough, and it just raises the question of why - when they've got so many guys who have so much legitimate talent and charisma - they're content with trying to polish a turd.
I dunno man, the more and more I see this kind of shit the more and more I feel like wrestling's passed me by. When you're only 26 and you feel like a jaded, cynical old man over shit like this, it's just fucking depressing.
But again, that's why I love listening to shows like this that can poke fun at the crappy wrestling, and occassionally dig up the few gems that make wrestling fun again.
That's my 2 cents anyway.
Thanks for that JB! Much appreciated.
Folks, we'd love to hear feedback on the show, please do leave it here, good/bad/indifferent it's all welcome and all goes to making MFX a better show.
Also, pull your fingers out and make your votes for the end of year awards.

Playlist:
Sum 41 and Tenacious D – Christmas Song
The Darkness – Christmas time (Don't Let The Bells End)
Blink 182 – Won't Be Home For Christmas
The crowd muttering after being admonished by Flair was hilarious.
A WrestleMania Dream Match along the same vein as The Rock and John Cena:
Hair vs. Hair
Maven's Eyebrows vs. Cody's Moustache
That was fantastic, everything about it, it may of been long and took me two sittings, but It was awesome, the ending was so epic, if I knew how to make a flash video I so would.
I loved the XMas Special, from the props during the awards section to the Ebenezer Hogan story.
I had some ideas that might be worth trying out...granted, there's already 3-4 hours of just the WWE/TNA reviews and your usual comedic antics, but these might be worth doing on the Facebook page or something. Since the EFK podcast is apparently done and finished, why not incorporate Ducktails and/or the Caption Competition? For that matter, I know the Predictions League is currently labeled under EFK/TFWF, but perhaps expanding that into the MFX "Galaxy" could be in order?
While this has been an awesome show, I think my personal highlight has to be the bit during the 'Ebeneezer Hogan's X-mas TNA Carol' at the start when he's talking to Dixie and Ian starts to say 'brother' and stops himself.
Or every time during it where you can hear Duckman trying to read his lines without corpsing at the hillarity of it all, even though you can tell he just wants to disolve into a minute plus of hysterical laughter.
... come on guys, where's the outtakes? No way you did that in one go. Not without suffering from wondering accent syndrome or corpsing.
Thanks for the awesome feedback on the show folks. I'm glad the show had that Christmas Special feel to it. It was a long one but with the awards, TLC, RAW, IMPACT and the Xmas skit, it was always going to be a beast of a show. As we're off for two weeks we thought we'd leave you with a long one to keep you warm during the cold, dark weeks that MFX is on Crimbo holiday!
A good shout Alex on adding a few things from the EFK podcast. Although to be honest, it's so difficult to get feedback on a week to week basis for RAW alone, let alone adding a few more segments that rely on people sending things in! It might end up giving me a fucking ulcer! I spend a lot of time asking for feedback and input on the show and only really get replies from the same group of people (the guys who got the 'special' shout out on this show) and I'd be concerned that it'd just be the same people each week sending stuff in.
Part of the plan for 2013 is to get MFX out there by partnering up with a few different podcast radio stations, promoters and other such sites. Once that is up and running and we're regularaly cracking a good number of listeners per week (although to be honest I'm damn happy with our healthy numbers this year all things considered) then I'm going to look at adding some different segments or features.
It's things like this that are the reason it's so important we get feedback, so we know what works and what does. Most of the comments I've had are "more Ian and Duckman jokes" but there's certainly room for more listener interaction...if they interact!
J-Vo, you have no idea how much I laughed during this. And I wrote the fucking thing! And I still laughed a lot. And how long it took me to edit it all together with music and shit.
I've got the unedited version (no music, all the out takes, Ian half dying trying to have a conversation with himself as Macho Man and Hogan, me changing accent three times during one sentence) which I can put up if the demand is there.
I'm also planning on putting the Xmas Skit up later today as a stand alone file. So you can d/l or stream it as a seperate show.
Again, thanks for the feedback guys, it's felt sometimes like not a lot of people at EFK are that into MFX, but it's AWESOME to see guys like yourselves getting in touch, enjoying what we're doing and supporting this new venture that Ian and I are going on with the show.
Merry MFXmas folks!
Peace
Duckman

Sorry for the late show this week folks. It's been a busy time with work schedules, snow storms and Duckman's antique Scottish broadband breaking down for a day. Fear not though MFX Galaxy, we won't use all that as an excuse not to bring you another hilarious and occasionally insightful wrestling podcast. Also, the show this week is REALLLLY long. Like the Xmas Special long. So that should make up for the lateness.
We review IMPACT, Genesis and the 20th Anniversary edition of Monday Night Raw. Plus tons more. Check out the podcast page for full details! Thanks and enjoy the show.
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=175 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=175)
I'm gonna give it a listen right now, but in advance I'd like to thank you, again, for putting the playlist back up. Ole!
Would love to get some feedback from you guys on the show. If you've given it a listen, why not let us know what you thought of it?
And you're welcome Alex, thought putting the playlist back up was a good idea!
Peace
Duckman
Okay I have to disagree with you completely on the point of CM Punk vs Brodus Clay. I'm pretty sure they gave Punk the mic on the Raw before and told him to say what he wants, he just so happens to bring Brodus Clay up and that sets up a match. It's a very good way of having a match on Raw that means something and puts Punk over because lets face it, he probably needs to be made to look like he can compete with bigger guys when he goes against the Rock, he's not competed much lately so he a) needs to get back to wrestling fitness and b) needs to look like a credible top guy wrestler that can beat people.
Thats just my feedback on that particular point
Good stuff Rob, thanks for that.
We'd love to get more regular feedback on topics and other things in the show. Don't be shy, especially if you disagree with us. We won't bite. Well, I won't. Ian will probably fucking kill you! :P
Keep it coming folks.
MFX33 is here!! Folks, you think you've heard entertaining wrestling podcasts in the past? Wrong. THIS is the bar and we're going to keep raising it every week!
Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps are back with their usual anarchic blend of show reviews, wrestling news, opinions and hundreds and hundreds of jokes. This is entertainment.
This week we review The Last of McGuinness documentary, the Brick Hogan and Bully Ray wedding episode of IMPACT and the 'go-home' Monday Night Raw for the Royal Rumble.
Check out the podcast page for full details. As always we'd love to hear from you on the show and remember to get involved in future shows.
Thanks for listening and enjoy!

MFX 34 – An Englishman, A Scotsman and a Pilipino walk into a bar...
What...have...we...done? FIVE HOURS!! A FIVE HOUR LONG SHOW!! All I can say is you guys better pack a lunch or something, cause this is MFX34 and this show is so long it makes Dirk Diggler feel inadequate.
This week MFX34 has a truly Asian flavour as we are joined by long time friend of the show, the sharpest dressed wrestling fan in the world and one damn funny dude, Mr Marc Abrigo!! Marc was our man in Amsterdam (well, Raw in San Jose last week) and he brings us the full low down of just what happened live at Raw. Ah such fun times! Plus we give our predictions for the Royal Rumble.
After sharing his experience at Raw Marc sticks around to help us review IMPACT this week. As usual Sir Ian is on manic form, Duckman struggles to hold things together and Abrigo wonders just how much Hulk Hogan would have no sold the crucifixion. Yep, it's one of THOSE TNA reviews and it's frigging awesome.
With the first half of the show recorded before the Rumble, the second half is all about THE WORST ROYAL RUMBLE EVER (copyright – all IWC members). Duckman and Sir Ian review the show and discuss all the potential fallout for Wrestlemania.
Duckman and Sir Ian wrap the show up with a review of RAW from this week. No Abrigo at the show this week, so we are actually able to concentrate on what's happen. And Tensai is dancing. Where's Abrigo when you need him?
This is a monster of a show, you might not be able to consume it all in one sitting, but you can be damn sure when you do finally get to the end, you'll be more satisfied than Marc Abrigo getting within touching distance of The Rock.
As always, thanks for listening folks and be sure to get in touch with MFX through all the usual channels.

MFX35 is in the books - we just finished recording another action packed, scandal laden, hard hitting wrestling podcast. Well, maybe not hard hitting.
More...giggling like idiots about the week in WWE and TNA and bringing you the only wrestling podcast that takes it to the edge and then kicks the edge square in the balls!
MFX35 drops tomorrow. You know the drill people, assume the position.
MFX35 – When a Hulk Hogan tweet goes wrong, we make with the funny.
MFX is back once again for another weekly edition of ridiculously entertaining, shocking, controversial and downright hilarious wrestling podcast wonderment.
Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps kicks things off with an in-depth discussion on TNA's decision to take Impact away from the Impact Zone and on the road. Sir Ian makes the case against the move from a business point of view and for once we try to discuss something in a serious manner. No, really, we do. We also discuss the headline making news that Bruno Sammartino will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Lots of praise for the efforts of HHH on this one.
Then it's on to our usual review of Monday Night Raw where we wonder what can be done to make Jack Swagger interesting again, we struggle to work out if Bo Dallas is the ugliest woman we've ever seen, Sir Ian blows his top at Alberto Del Rio's suck up promo and we LOVE Brock Lesnar and how he kills Miz. It's the usual joke laden and somewhat insightful look at WWE's flagship programme.
We wrap the show up this week with our review of the first Impact from the UK. If Jeff Hardy couldn't get into the UK, how come a notorious biker gang like Aces and 8s could get through immigration? It's hard hitting questions like this that ONLY the MFX podcast has the balls to ask. Plus an errant tweet from Hulk Hogan sends Sir Ian into comedy over drive and Duckman struggles to keep up.
As always we hope you guys enjoy the show and get some hearty laughs out of our unique brand of wrestling podcast. If you want to get in touch with MFX drop us an email to mfx.show@gmail.com or maybe give us a follow on Twitter – @MFXPodcast.

QFT...and remember....tonight...MFX...will get...#mfxwatchthisspace
Ok folks, time to get excited. Ian and I just sat down for over 90 mins with Nigel McGuinness for MFX36 this week! An amazing chat with Nigel talking about his movie, his career, his views on wrestling in general, life, dreams, ROH, TNA and TONS MORE!
This is without a doubt the best interview I've ever been a part of a huge moment for MFX. The show with Nigel will be up tomorrow night.
Spread the word - Nigel fucking McGuinness is on MFX!!!!
Peace
Duckman
MFX36 – When MFX met Nigel McGuinness.
You know how every week we hype up the show and talk about how it's the greatest we've ever done? How we go on about how you'll laugh your butt off and learn something about wrestling? Well, this week that's actually true.
Why? Simple, this week we had the honour of interviewing former ROH World Champion, TNA Superstar and now documentary filmmaker NIGEL MCGUINNESS!! For over 90 minutes Nigel discussed his documentary 'The Last of McGuinness' as well as the state of professional wrestling today, his career in general, art, movies, dreams and so much more.
Our interview with Nigel is, hands down, the best thing we've ever done on MFX and that includes coming up with the name 'Brick Hogan' and getting #blamemiz trending last year. If you're a fan of wrestling you owe it to yourself to listen to what Nigel has to say. Pure gold.
Of course we save the best till last. First off you have to sit through around three hours of Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps tearing apart the week in WWE and TNA. Don't you DARE skip to the Nigel interview. Oh, alright you can - but you better come back to listen to our rubbish!
We kick off with our Impact review (recorded before we interviewed Nigel) which is the usual expletive filled, surreal and random look at TNA's second show from the UK. It was alright. Our review is much better.
Then it's time for Raw (recorded after we interviewed Nigel – see if you can spot the difference) which was a decent show. As always it's MFX reviewing RAW, so there's lots of jokes and tiny nuggets of insight. Plus we talk a little about Elimination Chamber, if you're into that kind of thing.
We finish off the show this week with the main event – 90 minutes in the company of Nigel McGuinness. We won't spoil it for you guys but trust us, this interview is the definition of 'must listen.' There's so much good stuff here and even though Duckman and Sir Ian have their professional interviewer heads on, we still manage to get a few good laughs out of Nigel along the way!
Remember to follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, rate us on ITunes and generally follow MFX through any means necessary.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on the interview with Nigel so remember to get in touch at mfx.show@gmail.com
As always, thanks for listening and enjoy the show!

Just got through listenign to the podcast for thsi week. Awesome stuff guys, as per, and the McGuinness interview was superb. Funny and informative with too many good bits to single out. Damn good job guys, major kudos.
I've just been able to listen to the recaps of Raw and Impact, and a bit of the Nigel interview, but even with just the recaps the show has been great. Looking to listen to the rest later tonight.
If you guys are on itunes or our page can you leave some feedback even if its slightly generic specifically to the Nigel interview.
Going to give this a listen over the weekend. Interested to hear the interview with Nigel.
Quote from: Samson From T.F.W.F.
There is a unique chemistry the two of you have which should not be overlooked. Sam I felt you interviewed him tremendously, but what I like about the format as well is that Ian has that quick witted ability to chime in and make it seem more relaxed with a joke here or there before getting onto his serious bit, though I didn't hear much of you during ROH Ian, you need to have said something old friend! Your question about Chelsea was fantastic as well as your comment about never getting laid as a wrestling fan. Sam you missed a calling for the record, total natural. This show format is what makes your podcast very special. Whatever you do going forward after this, dont change who you guys are. In my opinion your entire focus should be on getting your name out there. Throw some money at it. What you have on the show works and is a lot of fun to listen to. Anyone not giving this a chance is frankly ridiculous. We all have time in cars, walking, journeys on public transport, studying...what I have always had as my music time. Now I have a new thing to add to this MFX. The rest of you should support these two fine gentlemen and get onboard with this and your reward is a highly entertaining show.
It did seem to me that the interview went well and was well received also by McGuiness himself. I thought he was quite insightful on his views of the industry, though I do think he should be a lot more proud of what he did for wrestling than he seems. That sort of thing left me a bit perplexed. I havent seen the documentary, but based on the interview would highly consider ordering it.
The usual TNA and WWE feedback was great. Yes, Booker T set us back about 50 years by endorsing Team Lynchmob! I actually really liked the bit at the end of Impact where Sir Ian went into one of his customary yet insightful rants about Hogan. One of the rare things about these sort of podcasts which the pair of you do very well is provide logic to your answers. It's fairly obvious Ian you have a keen business head regardless and it shines through when this topic is touched on the show. It was much like a couple of episodes ago where Duckman defended the Rock vs Cena II to the IWC and the MFX Galaxy. Again, smart business head, smart reasoning of why this would happen.
Top moments of the week include in no particular order:
- Ian asking Nigel about tapping Chelsea's ass
- Duckman saying wrong demographic when Nigel couldnt remember the ballet brothers name
- Duckman and Sir Ian's extra adventures of sexual whateverism
- Sir Ian making a joke about being a wrestling fan and not getting laid
- Sir Ian saying about Nigel losing out to Teen Wolf though I didnt get the follow up reference by Nigel must be a British thing about Desmond
- Lonesome Dove reference
- Hawk Hogan
- Double dare reference
- Vince McMahon as Jigsaw, that had be rolling
- Vince as the guy from the movie Momento also big chucks
- Give Zig a chance!!!
- Ian's new song for Ryder
On a side note here are some great nicknames Carlton Ryblack (Big E), Brick Hogan (Brooke), Bitch Sting (Sting), Teflon Taz (Taz), Milf Hunter (Todd K.), Russian Offshore Fisherman that rescued Jason Bourne (Anderson), Skipberg (Ryback), Nerd Patrol (Briscoe and Garrett) Sonic (Josh Matthews) to name a few of the greats. This is always one of my favorite parts of the show is when you create a character on top of the stupid WWE character or TNA character. Like how Hogan is always super conceited and looking for sex opportunities with Brick or Sonic Matthews roving reporter is good as well.
Keep this up brothers, you have lightening in a bottle as they say!
Duckman and me got this feedback over on T.F.W.F. about this show and a more general feel on MFX. This is what we would really appreciate from others please. SOMETHING to help, advise, whatever.
This is really important to Sam and me we understand our market so we are turning to you guys for help.
Make sure to give our new MFX approved commercials a view and like on Youtube and our Facebook page:
MFX COMMERCIAL 1 TEFLON TAZ AND THE ACES AND GOONIES (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlYsbilkXEA#)
MFX COMMERCIAL 2 HE MAKE A ME LAUGH PAPPA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkX20tvRHx4#)
I'll leave feedback on the show itself soon, but I'd like to spout off how much I enjoyed the Nigel interview. On the note of the videos, I would suggest putting in bits of your audio in the future. Case in point, the Teflon Taz video could've used Ian's impression at the end with "SEE YA!" Great stuff overall, though.
Still looking for your feedback on the show this week and in particular the interview with Nigel McGuinness.
Let's hear from you EFK!
Thanks.
Peace
Duckman
I've literally just left this on the FB page, but there's an added bit that I'm leaving here:
- The interview was great. I really enjoyed hearing his take on how the doc turned out, and I got the sense he feels more secure in how his career panned out.
- The recaps were great as always. My personal opinion re: Rock-Cena 2 is that it might draw more money, but that doesn't mean I have to sit there and enjoy it. That said, I can certainly not whine about it quite as much lol
I'm actually gonna go back and listen soon, because I really want to catch that Double Dare reference that Samson brought up in his feedback lol. If we're talking about the kids' game show, then I've a feeling I know where to find it...
Time to get excited MFX Galaxy - MFX37 is here! It's another MFX classic as we cover topics as diverse as meteor strikes in Russia, Oscar Pistorious, Elimination Chamber, RAW, IMPACT and race.
It's one of those hot topic wrestling podcasts that has to be heard to be believed. We tickle your funny bone until you just can't take any more.
The week in wrestling doesn't get any more entertaining than this!

When you guys were talking about Lawler sounding stoned during the Raw commentary, am i the only one who suddenly wondered if he and Swagger had been having an RVD & Sabu moment?
Also, if you think about it, the Cena giving Punk a chance to take his title shot DOES make sense. All you have to do is look at this as being Cena's year of redemption for the alleged 'worst year of his career', where he does the things he tried and failed at last year. Beating Rock is one, winning the title is another. And beating Punk, one on one is another. Hell, if you look back on it Cena's alleged tailspin started when he lost the belt to Punk at MitB 2011, so you could even use that as a factor as to why he lost to Rock last year and have it so he has to beat Punk to shore up his confidence,
It's still 'wrestling crazy logic' but it does make a twisted kind of sense.
Lawler was either off his meds or toking on a Swagger Bong before the show. Even for him he was waaaay out there and off his game.
That Cena 'logic' hurts my brain. I stand by the fact he got Bobby Roode'ed and is a fucking moron. Or that CM Punk has mind control gas. Either of those makes more sense than WWE's booking.
Plus he's beaten CM Punk HUNDREDS of times. I don't get why we are supposed to all believe that never happened.
It's WWE logic but it's also insulting as fuck to anyone with a IQ higher than pencil.
Still, at least they can count on Swagger too.....oh fuck.
Thanks for listening to MFX as always buddy, you're one of the main supporters of the show and we really fucking appreciate it.
Peace

We finished recording show 38...Duckman will post info soon, but check out our facebook page for our latest NSFW commercial!!!
MFX 38 – The Re-run.
It's that time of week once again, time to set phases to snark, sit back and enjoy another few hours in the company of two sarcastic wrestling fans and a cast of random characters. Oh yeah baby, it's MFX38!
We should point out that thanks to some weird fault on the recording, we had to redo the first part of the show this week. Which was annoying for a number of reasons but mainly because we have a HUGE announcement regarding the future of MFX. Exciting times folks! Plus we talk Jack Swagger's arrest and The Undertaker's house show return.
Then it's on to the usual MFX review of TNA IMPACT. IMPACT is Hogan this week. Which means we go into over drive. So many jokes, so much Hogan chat and tons more.
We wrap the show up this week with an in-depth review of RAW. The opening was great. The ending was amazing. The middle kind of sucked. Oh but there's so much more to our review of RAW than that.
As always thanks for listening and we hope you guys enjoy the show. Be sure to check our Facebook page and Twitter for more on the HUGE announcement on the future of MFX.

MFX39 is here folks! Our first show on The Universal Takeover Sports Network!! This is a big week for MFX so be sure to check the show out for all the usual RAW and IMPACT reviews. Plus so many funny moments, surreal tangents and childish humour we can't do it justice here. Check out the podcast page for full details. Oh and Sir goes to the movies this week. You DO NOT want to miss this!
Thanks and enjoy the show!
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=200 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=200)
not sure how it works in the UK, but in the states every WWE PPV is paid for.
$49.99 per PPV except Mania which has been around what? 70-75 bucks.
WWE Network @14.99 (11/PPVs) = $164.89
11 PPVs @49.99 = $549.89
Either way is expensive as hell, but network for a year is just slightly more expensive than 3 PPV's by themselves.
MFX40 – Duckman's Birthday Extravaganza.
Well, not really. It is Duckman's birthday this week but we haven't got time to be going on about that. It's MFX40 on UTNSN and we're back to rock your week in wrestling like no one else can.
We kick off the show this week with so much news, feedback, comment and opinion that it could be a podcast all of its own. Oh and we learn that Sir Ian isn't a fan of Wrestle Talk TV!
IMPACT is given the usual MFX treatment. It's the go-home show for Lockdown and TNA really staggered over the line to the PPV this week. The show was kinda weak. Our review is STRONG! Like Rob Terry strong. And funny. Like Hulk Hogan funny.
We take a look at TNA's Lockdown PPV. A bit of a mixed bag of a show but we do enjoy our Brick Hogan is Rain Man booker idea. Plus Sir Ian worships at the altar of Bully Ray – the MFX Podcast's new favourite babyface.
We wrap the show up this week with our review of RAW. MFX Galaxy, we thought this show sucked. But once again when wrestling goes boring, MFX goes funny. So much gold here, you'll all finish one hundred dollars richer after listening to the show!
Oh and Duckman drank a bottle of red wine during the last two parts of the show. What? It's his birthday, give him a break!
This is one funny show, even if we do say so ourselves. You like your wrestling podcasts to make you laugh, think and cry? Well, two out of three isn't bad, so you better get listening.
Thanks as always for listening to the show and be sure to get in touch with us through all the usual channels.
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=205 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=205)
I dunno what the fuck you're complaining about, re. turning 32, Duckman. Thanks to UK law you can now legally bang a chick half your age. I still got a year and a third to go before I can do that.
:P
Edit: Have now listened to the whole show. Good stuff as always guys, the Raw review in particular was hillarious.
Thanks JVO, always giving us some feedback. Thats really appreciate and encourages to keep on going. You are a legend.
And you make me feel better about getting old! Double legend!
There's some stuff on the show this week about Brick's breakdown that literally had me crying with laughter.
I'm about to finish watching that boring ass edition of RAW from Monday. Expect plenty of hilarity to make up for how damn boring and poor RAW was this week.
Peace
Duckman
MFX41 – Raw is Snore.
The show was a day late last week so this week we thought – let's get the show up a few hours early for those wonderful people in the MFX Galaxy! So that's just what we've done. We know, we're too good to you people.
We kick the show off this week with some discussion on Scott Hall and wrestling fans donating $80,000 to him. Is it the right thing to do? MFX aren't totally convinced it is. We lighten the mood with a chat about Vince McMahon challenging Dana White to a fight a few years ago. Plus Duckman and Sir Ian lament how old they are getting and awesome 80s movies.
Then it's time for our usual review of IMPACT. We talk Brick Hogan's breakdown, AJ Styles makes his hobo looking return to IMPACT. We can't get enough of Todd (Milf Hunter) Keneley's history as a bouncer and of course, Hogan rips Sting a new one and MFX salute the whole thing. Duckman laughs so much during this review he nearly has to leave the room. So much fun and laughter to be had. Oh and IMPACT was a great show too!
Unfortunately the show falls of a cliff with our review of RAW from this week. It was one of the most boring shows we've seen in some time. The road to Wrestlemania is crumbling people and even MFX can't find much funny from the show this week. Well, we do talk about Brad Maddox milking HHH but that's a whole other story!
As always, we bring you tons of laughter, a little bit of insight and the most entertaining wrestling podcast on these here interwebs.
Thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with future shows through all the usual channels.
Enjoy the show.

That TNA review was awesome. The complete Brick tangent was frickin' hillarious. And you even made raw sound better than it was.
Another great show guys.
Duckman: MFX 42 - The Meltdown Episode is up! This week we've got wrestling news, IMPACT and RAW reviews. We're off the wall this week folks. Come join us! Check the podcast page for full details on the show:
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=214 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=214)
MFX43 – "In The Club We Call Him Bitch" plus Wrestlemania n' stuff.
Well MFX Galaxy it's that time of the week once again. Time to stop watching Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. Put down that Xbox controller and stop listening to whatever music you're listening to. There's a wrestling podcast here that requires your full attention. It's MFX43, the final MFX before Wrestlemania and we've got the grand daddy of them all right here!
We kick the show off with some discussion on the sad news about Reid Flair's passing. One listener to the show emailed us with a controversial opinion on the tragedy which we discuss. We lighten the mood by making fun of Shane Douglas and Extreme Rising for a while. If it's good enough for Stevie Richards and Danny Doring, it's good enough for MFX. Plus we discuss a few other random topics of wrestling news that I'm sure will keep you all thoroughly entertained.
Then it's time for our review of IMPACT. Another decent show from TNA, in front of a hot crowd and Taryn Terrell is in the hottest wrestling gear we've ever seen. We probably spend too long talking about that. There's all the usual Hulk Hogan jokes and Chavo hate that you've come to know and love from MFX. Another fun review of a fun wrestling show.
We then turn our attention to WWE and the final RAW before Wrestlemania. It wasn't a great show, it wasn't a terrible show. It was just a bit of a nothing show, with a horrible final angle which left Sir Ian foaming at the mouth with fury! Once RAW is dealt with we give a full preview and predictions for Wrestlemania 29.
It's a bumper show this week folks, packed full of wrestling discussion, crude and childish humour, plus a few nuggets of insight that you will probably ignore.
Next week it's Wrestlemania 29 so why not get ready for the biggest show of the year with the most entertaining and downright hilarious wrestling podcast around? The week in WWE and TNA gets the full MFX treatment. You're welcome!
As always, thanks for listening, be sure to get in touch with the show through all the usual channels and enjoy Wrestlemania!

You can also check out my twitter feed where I get told off by a Derby FC midfielder for my comments about Jade Goody, which apparently he didn't actually hear! But formed an opinion none the less :)
I'd like to point out, there have now been as many episodes of MFX as EFK ran. It's gonna feel weird next week, when MFX officially surpasses that mark with MFX 44 lol
Great show as always, guys. I'm still fairly certain they should've had the Madden match at Shane's Target store (as mentioned in a convo with JDM on Twitter lol)...great insight of course on the week in wrestling.
MFX44 – It's Wrestlemania, baby! Plus Raw is Smark.
The biggest wrestling event of the year is here! That's right, it's MFX44 baby!! Actually it was Wrestlemania this weekend (like you didn't know) so of course this is our big Wrestlemania review edition of MFX.
It's also going to be the last MFX for around a month as Sir Ian Trumps will be doing his whole "international stag do, celebrity wedding, massive honeymoon" event of a life time. It's going to mean MFX is off the air for a few weeks, but it also means one of the founding fathers of MFX is getting married and let's be honest, that's slightly more important than doing this podcast...slightly.
Anyway, in the spirit of sending you guys off on a high before we take our mid season break, we've got a massive show for you this week. Think Wrestlemania sized, only more entertaining and with less giant pillars blocking your view or endless hype videos.
We kick the show off this week with news on Ian's first stag night with his family and friends. As you would expect it's a riot of a story with tons of funny moments, including a police dog biting a footballer and Sir Ian's Dad nearly getting into a fight on the train! And to think, his crazy, booze filled stag night is still to come! We also talk Duckman's Wrestlemania weekend and we get all political with a chat about the death of Margaret Thatcher.
Once all that's out of the way it's time for our review of Pillarmania, sorry Wrestlemania, which as usual brings you that classic MFX blend of jokes, salty language and a sprinkling of insight. It's a 90 minute recap of Wrestlemania that blows all other Wrestlemania recaps out the water.
We then review the Raw after Wrestlemania, or Raw is Smark as we like to call it. It was a crazy crowd at RAW, powered by fans from the UK and Ireland who made it a night like no other. Our review is pretty much the same, only with less chants and dancing.
We wrap the show up this week with a review of IMPACT. Yeah, TNA had a show this week! Actually it was more of a go-home show for this week's IMPACT but what can you do? The show kind of sucked but we squeeze some comedy gold out of it...just.
So that's MFX off on our holidays for a few weeks. Duckman is contemplating putting together a best of show to keep the MFX Galaxy going while Sir Ian gets married. Although more than likely he'll just take the time off too and enjoy a well earned break. Also, nothing much really happens after Wrestlemania anyway, so we won't be missing much.
As always, thanks for listening and we'll be back in mid May with MFX45 – The Sir Ian Trumps Wedding Special and you won't want to miss that!
Enjoy the show.

MFX45 – The comeback...again
Has it really only been five weeks since the last MFX podcast? We don't know about you guys, but it's felt like five months to us. But fear not true believers, Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps are back and we're bringing you a bumper show as a special thank you for waiting so patiently for our return.
So what's on the show this week? Well, we've got all the news from Sir Ian's stag week in Bulgaria, as well as his wedding. We hear all about Sir Ian's big day and it truly brings a tear to the eye. Then Duckman tells his story about meeting Mick Foley, which isn't as romantic. We finish off the opening part of the show with the big reveal about what happened with the so called 'network' The Universal Takeover Sports Network and their CEO and President Bobby Johnson. That's right folks, we're off the network after only one month and we both bring shovels to bury everyone involved.
Then it's on to some wrestling chat. We review TNA Impact from the 16th May but of course it's MFX and we've been away for over a month, so everything breaks down quite quickly into chaos and mayhem.
WWE's Extreme Rules PPV is also given the full MFX treatment. It was a fun show with some good matches that was spoiled by one terrible finish. We also talk in depth about Brock Lesnar and WWE's booking of him since his return. Plus it's a real Shield love in as we continue to be amazed WWE haven't ruined this great stable and angle yet!
We finish off the show this week with a review of Monday Night Raw. We talk Ryback's cool mobile, crappy WWE films, Danny Glover, the new Paul Heyman guy and Duckman marks out like crazy to the six man tag match. Plus we talk in detail about WWE's need to build new stars and how this transitional period might not be a lot of fun now, but should be worth it in the long run...we hope.
So what are you all waiting for? It's MFX45 and we're back!!! Get listening, get laughing and join us as we MFX the week in wrestling as only we can. It's good to be back!
Thanks for listening and be sure to interact with future shows by all the usual means.

Got any topics, questions, points of view for MFX46? We're recording the show opening tonight. So let us know and we'll include on the show!
MFX46 – Raw is Wyatt
It's that time of the week once again – MFX is back and we're ready to rock the week in wrestling as only MFX can. Join Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps for another 3 hour extravaganza of wrestling news, reviews of RAW and IMPACT and of course, jokes, loads and loads of jokes!
We kick the show off this week with a look at some of the big news stories of the week including Hulk Hogan nearly blowing his hand off, the Wrestlemania buy rate (lots of good discussions here), new WWE developmental signings and more! And we've got a challenge in mind that needs the MFX Galaxy's help.
The IMPACT review this week is ridiculously fun. The show was pretty lame, which means the MFX review is packed full of jokes, impressions and we learn that Sir Ian Trumps hates the concept of friendship. Oh and we discuss the new TNA Jeff Hardy Exercise App. Yep, fun times.
We wrap the show up with our review of RAW. We liked the show this week and our fun review reflects that. We mark out for The Shield vs. Hell No...again. We laugh with Ryback and marvel at how wooden Curtis Axel and Bret Hart are. Oh and The Wyatt Family promo gets Sir Ian out of his bed and marking out like crazy!
It's a really fun show this week. Plenty of good wrestling discussion with a huge side order of comedy moments and salty language.
As always, get involved in future shows through all the usual means. Thanks and enjoy the show.

Awesome, I've been hoping someone would catch that!
Would love to get some feedback from folks on the show - anything and everything.

Duckman
Sir Ian: The internet seems to have ZERO half confirmations on this massive TNA signing Dixie Carter has promised. I for one am sat here quite interested. For me Carter and TNA have to deliver now with the stuttering Aces and 8s angle and the general poor showing of the last Impact (in ratings and content). Is it do or die MFX Galaxy? Have your say and throw out a predicition on who it MIGHT be and WHY!
MFX47 – Tigers, Lions and Chavs – Oh My!
That's right you lucky people, it's that time of the week you have all been waiting for – MFX IS BACK!! The sun is shining, the summer is here and MFX is in the kind of mischievous mood that will tickle your funny bone until you can't take it anymore.
We've got an action packed, four hour, non stop laugh-a-thon of a wrestling podcast for you. There's full reviews of TNA IMPACT, Slammiversary and RAW in the usual MFX style. We reveal which WWE produced film you guys want us to review in the future. Plus so much more MFX goodness we can't do it justice in this post.
Be sure to check out the podcast page for full details on the show.
As always thanks for listening and enjoy the show!

Is there anyway to download the show until the computer? The net went out at my place and I was borrowing someones computer, and have a portable modem and was wondering if there was anyway I could download it and then transfer it to mine.
Yeah man, just right click the download link on the podcast page, save as. And it'll download.
Is that what you mean?
Yeah I think that might be it, can't go too long without my MFX lol
Duckman, Sir Ian, question.
On the WWE studios movie you're watching, are you guys just Mystery Science Theater 3000'ing it during one of the segments of the show itself or will this be its own separate mini-episode of sorts?
Regardless, should be fucking hilarious. I look forward to it.
Finished listening to 47 just now. Great stuff as always, reviews were on point as usual. Chessington reminds me of a lot of theme parks over here, especially Disneyland.
I'm a sucker for movie references, and my weekly fix of MFX is also my weekly fix of quotes and other goodies from the classics and not so classics.
I still remember a time when Ian was firmly behind TNA at least for the wrestling...but the last few weeks of Impact may have made cracks in that foundation, LOL.
Its been disappointing for me Alex recently. I just WANT them to do so much better...but they fall at every hurdle. Example this week failed to crack top 100 shows for their usual male demographic. Show featuring Rampage Jackson...I mean...its kind of meh lol.
Sports playoffs are often a tough time for WWE and TNA, lol. One of my friends compared the Rampage/Angle bit from Impact to Stone Cold/Mike Tyson from pre-WM14, but I think that's a bit of a stretch.

I dont think it was an intense as it could have been...say like SCSA/Austin or Angle/Joe even
SCSA/Austin?
I don't remember him facing himself, though no doubt it would've been a better match than Cena/Rock II

My plan was to MST3000 the fuck out of it during the opening segment, so before we do the usual reviews.
It'll be on a show when there's no PPV. It won't be this week as we're a bit pressed for time to record. Next week is Payback so that's out.
To be honest, it'll probably work out best if we do it for MFX50. Which is actually quite fitting as it could be a special bit to celebrate 50 eps of the show.
And yes, hopefully it will be fucking hilarious, although given the subject matter, we may struggle!
Thanks for listening folks and also thanks for the feedback on the show - we really appreciate the support.
Cheers,

Thanks for the shot out gents, actually got my ass reamed for the El Generico ROH mention haha.
There should definitely be a 'Get the fuck out of my office, Brother' MFX T-shirt. Or a 'I/We bring the length' one. Or a 'Property of Maddox' one. But definitely the first one.
LOL at the Ususal Suspects reference!
I think 'Clown Handjob' is probably gonna become the new MFX Meme. Although that was legitimately hillarious. And I'm wondering what would happen around the Trumps household if a tric-or-treater turned up at the door as a spider-clown
I think "Clown Handjob" is gonna do for MFX what "Vampire Blowjob" did for EFK.
I'm looking forward to the prospect of MFX merch. I'm nerdy enough to buy it regardless of what's on, it's just a matter of money. As for ideas, I think something like "I AM MFX" might invite friendly conversation as to what MFX is.
I like the "Get the Fuck out of my Office" T Shirt Idea..or a "MFX: I'm here for my Clown Handjob"
[spoiler=Ian, you don't want to click this](http://memecrunch.com/meme/O0AE/clown-girl-mfx/image.png)[/spoiler]
A few t-shirt slogan ideas.
"Shroomgate Survivor"
"MFX; Sir Ian Trumps Action Figure Sold Separately"
"MILF Hunter: Never forget."
"Putting up with iMPACT so you don't have to."
Front: Brett Hart was right...
Back: I'm heading to WCW!
"Later Days..."
MFX52: If It's Bo – We Wyatt.
The sun is shining, British sporting triumph keeps on coming and to make it all the sweeter – MFX is back! For some reason Duckman's mic was a bit rubbish and crackly in the show opening and the IMPACT review but we fixed it for the RAW review – hopefully it's not too annoying for you all.
As always we bring you the usual MFX goodness as we dissect the week in wrestling in our own inimitable style. If you like your wrestling podcast to be funny, shocking, mildly insightful and banned in 43 states, then MFX is the show for you!
Check the podcast page for more details on the show.
Thanks and enjoy the show.

I own and wear (in public) a T-shirt that reads 'bollocks to this, I'm off home for a wank', so I would indeed wear a 'get the fuck out of my office, brother' shirt.
I knew you would! That's fucking awesome.
Peace
Duckman
also I'd like to add:
Front: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK
Back: For Xcelence
Or
'I Mark for Xcellence'
or
'C.O.O. Milker'
to the list. There was probably something else but i forget. I'm drunk. I haven't even listened to all the show yet, I'm still stuck on the TNA bit.
Geting to listen to it (in part) on my birthday was still awesome though. I love you guys! FotS4Lyf
The 2 MitB matches are broken down as
1: The Money in the Bank: All Stars
2: 7 Bitches needing Smack
...
Ian's interpretation of the Cena/Henry segment sounds EXACTLY like how I imagine how the Bully Ray (and bitch stable) vs TNA angle will end.
Ok, 'The Sound of Silence Bankruptcy' wins moment of the show. That.Was. HI-larious
Ian, I am 1,000,000% with you on tracking those 'Husky Harris' chanting fucktards down and kicking them in the nuts. Repeatedly. Until they piss blood. Those kind of 'fans' are the reason we can't have nice things in wrestling.
MFX COMMERCIAL 5 CROSS THE LINE 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONlFtzXF_XQ#)
MFX53 – In Doc We Trust – GAWD-BYE!
Sad times at the MFX studios this week folks, as news broke that DOC of Aces and Eights has been released by TNA. This is a dark day for MFX – mainly because that's 30% of our jokes during IMPACT gone! Doc, you may be gone, but you will not be forgotten by MFX. We can only hope someone else takes as good care of The Nerd Patrol as you did.
That shocking news aside your heroes of MFX have got another packed show for you this week. They kick things off with all the news on TNA's latest cuts, as well as a chat about the leaks of WWE PPV results. Sir Ian has an interesting take on who might be behind it. We finish off the show opening with some truly hilarious news about a photo op with a former WWE diva.
Then it's on to IMPACT (which we recorded before the news of the latest cuts broke) which sees the debut of the MFX 'try hard ruler of the week award' as well as all the usual MFX fun and games.
Of course we review Money In the Bank and RAW. The RAW review was ridiculous this week – it must be the heat wave that caused it. HHH's new nemesis appears on the scene and you can be sure his secret life with Brad Maddox will never be the same again!
As always thanks for listening, enjoy the show – oh AND BUY SOME MERCH!
Be sure to get in touch with the show through all the usual channels.

Ian: 'Vince doesn't give a shit' (about people giving away match results and the betting on thereof)
... I can't remember where it is, but there's an interview somewhere with Paul Heyman talks about his experiences working in creative with Vince and he mentions that Vince is such a control freak that if he sneezes he'll take it out on somebody. Because his body did something he didn't intend it to do. As he put it, IIRC, "he's so competitive he competes with his own sneezes."
... also, speaking of Randy Savage musical ventures... when does MFX use 'Speaking from the Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSGofTvNins#)' as a buffer?... its gonna be ep. 100 isn't it (unless you already used it and I forgot? it has been a while and I am a bit drunk as I type this)? (If so, either way, t should be. That song is fucking AWESOME!

Front: The Writing's On The Wall...
Back:...Who Gave Brick The Crayons, Brother?
Duckman: Tricking people into buying Wrestlemania since 2013
WE'RE GOING ON LOCKDOWN, BROTHER!
MFX: We talk about wrestling...eventually...
Don't worry, we'll discuss my cut later.
Gold again this week. Particular highlights for me were a brief cameo of FBL's Dirk Boogerpants and your complete tangent into the world of Triple H and his non-existent 7 year old son.
I wish more people would listen to this, you guys are so quick witted and make a massive boost to my enjoyment of wrestling.
I'm going to give this a listen tomorrow since I have company in town today.
hilarious show as always, I especially love the bit which introduced HHH's new evil genius "son" who is threatening to expose his love affair with Maddox it had me in stitches. I honestly couldn't stop laughing. Also bit about Nenor and Rybitch was good, shame I don't have any drawing or animation skills because I would love to do/see some animated shorts based off these and other funny bits and moments which seems to be a big thing on youtube right now.
like this which was done of a bit from Jessie Cox and Wow Crendor's Cox and Crendor in the morning podcasts.
Cox n' Crendor: Cheeseburger in Florida (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcdstu9tftY#ws)
yeah the animation and the drawings are shit but I can't even do that, still would be cool to see someone do something like that for MFX though.
Again great show.
The new Evil Son thing was hilarious, but I think the one thing that had me going more than anything and I don't know why was the Garrett Bishoff not knowing how to vote for VP of A&8's.
Can we call Paul Levesque's estranged son, "Gameboy?"
I second "Gameboy."
I can't get that "Try Hard Award" song out of my head. GAWD~!
T-Shirt ideas: Why not stuff based on movies or TV shows?
Bricking Bad
Cheers for the great feedback this week folks! We really do appreciate it and it's great to see we're not the only ones laughing at our jokes!
The best way to get more people to listen is to spread the word of MFX as much as you can. Either here, on Facebook or Twitter. So if you see us post or Tweet, be sure to 'like' or RT and it'll help more people see it.
I think we'd be a good show for lapsed wrestling fans, so if you know people who used to like wrestling, but have gone off it, tell 'em to give MFX a try. I know a lot of people who listen to the show don't even watch wrestling!
That animation idea is fucking awesome Chris. I think with a little help from guys like Gary and Marc - graphics and finding the best bits from the show, we could do something cool with this.
Could be a new project for MFX and I reckon it would help spread the word of the show too.
If anyone wants to help out or suggest ways of building our audience, or anything in general, don't be shy. Just fire me a email at the mfx.show@gmail.com one or a PM here.
Again, love coming on here and seeing you guys are enjoying the show.
Cheers!
Peace
Duckman
Upon further listen, the thing I love the most about the "evil son" bit is that moment when you guys realize Trips doesn't actually HAVE a son.
Overall, another great episode as always. Doc will be missed...but why couldn't TNA just release the children instead? Oh right, one of them's got roots in a wrestling family...and the other is Wes Brisco.
#TNALogic
Listened to the show for a second time today, and I finally figured something out.
The guy who's been betting on results and winning...IT'S PAUL'S SON! I can just see it now...
Triple H: (On Phone) So, we're going with Bryan and Ambrose to win the MITB cases-
Gameboy: Hello Father...
Triple H: AH! What the hell do you want?! I told you I don't have any more money to pay you!
Gameboy: No, however Father, I think you'll find if you look on PaddyPower.Com that even if you cannot give me any more money directly, there are still ways in which you can fund my ever growing expenses in order to keep my lips tightly sealed...
Triple H: Wait, what?! You want me to change the results of the match so you can run a booking scam?!
Gameboy: You're catching on quickly, father. I'm impressed.
Triple H: Why should I do this, haven't you destroyed my life enough already, I mean I've already got Steph thinking she gave birth to you!
Gameboy: Oh, you do not wish to help me? Well what about if I click this tab next to Paddy Power?
Triple H: ...Is that-
Gameboy: Youporn.com, yes. And would you look at that, there appears to be a video that's ready to be uploaded. It'll be in the same category as "Queen of the Ring". How ironic...
Triple H: WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!
Gameboy: It would appear those HD camera you installed into the WWE training center came in quite handy, didn't they father? Really make the words "Property of Maddocks" really stand out on that Banana hammock...
Triple H: You wouldn't!
Gameboy: Oh but I would. Just like when you urinated while getting F-5'd by Lesnar, the internet smarks will have a field day with this...and I fear you creating a twitter account will not save you this time.
Triple H: FINE! Alright, just...please delete the video...
Gameboy: And Sandow and Ortion win?
Triple H: Yes, whatever you need...
Gameboy: Very well father, I knew you would see things my way...
(Gameboy deletes the video)
Triple H: Thank God...
Gameboy: Indeed...Still, a shame it's not the only one, is it?
Triple H: WHAT?!
Gameboy: Oh nothing. Anyway, I fear I must be off, bets to be made, empires to crumble, you know the drill. Goodnight father...
(Gameboy disappears suddenly. Triple H returns to his phone.)
Triple H: Hello? Yeah, change on plan. Sandow and Ortion win...Oh who cares why, just say the smarks got word and we decided to change it. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS, AND DO IT!
(Triple H hangs up on the phone and looks down at the Brad Maddocks wallpaper on his screen.)
Triple H: This is all your fault...why did you have to be so sexy?...
you guys should try and use this song during one of the breaks on this weeks podcast given Brie's little slip out..I mean slip up..

MFX54 – Ask Dixie
Ah MFX Galaxy. Sometimes this show writes itself. This week is one of those weeks.
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian as they kick the show off with some chat about Sir Ian's house hunting and the best meal he's ever had. Duckman talks about looking after his crazy nephew for a week and trippy kids TV. Then it's on to your feedback and more MFX merch suggestions. They wrap up the show opening with more chat about the woes at TNA. Plus the #AskDixie phenomenon invades MFX – hilarity ensues.
Then it's on to the IMPACT review – it's Destination X time folks! This was a fun episode of IMPACT, choked full of the usual good, weird and downright dumb TNA segments. Duckman and Sir Ian laugh, cry and lament what could be the beginning of the end for TNA. Or not, maybe we're just being overly dramatic!
As always the show wraps up with the RAW review. RAW this week can be broken down into two parts. The first two hours, which were utterly horrible. And the final hour, which had one of the best promo exchanges of recent years with Punk and Heyman, plus 30 minutes of Daniel Bryan wrestling master class 101. Another fun review and plenty of the usual MFX high jinks to keep you thoroughly entertained.
Remember to donate a couple of bucks and you can be one of a select group who can hear a little teaser of what might happen if Sir Ian calls TNA in the future.
As always thanks for listening, be sure to get in touch through all the usual channels and enjoy the show!

Biffy Clyro – Questions and Answers
Different Strokes Theme
I haven't even listened to the part yet, Sam -- but I got a real warm, fuzzy feeling seeing the "Different Strokes" theme associated with you guys, again.
Gonna listen to it tomorrow. Already looking forward to hearing the e-mail jingle, and the (hopefully) continuing adventures of Triple H and Gameboy.
I just listened to the Rockstar Spud interview for the first time...wow.

Me too. I looked it up the other week, did you know EFK podcast is two short of celebrating its 50th episode?
Looking forward to listening, will leave feedback after.
... so is Chavo in charge of the mexican knock-off MFX merch?
I am getting favourited and retweeted like a Mother Fucker for my ASKDIXIES
YEAH!!!! I AM AMUSING!!!

Of course I did.
Okay, so notes:
1.) The London trip is off. Blame Ian.
2.) I'm totally on board for a Rybitch/NeeNor buddy-cop show -- especially if they have a crossover with Russell Crowe and Tugger from South Park:
South Park Russell Crowe Fight Cancer.mov (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUna_q5DmkA#ws)
3.) As for your discussion of a lack of black superstars in the WWE, I think it's simple. I think Vince took it really, really seriously after the Piper controversy and wants to stay away from "Black face," full-stop.
Quote from: Goldferg on July 25, 2013, 06:32:57 PM
... so is Chavo in charge of the mexican knock-off MFX merch?
Yeah, but don't ask anyone about it. :D
I'm not sure how warm and fuzzy everyone will feel once they hear WHY the Different Strokes theme was used. It's probably one of Sir Ian's greatest analogies of all time!
Hope you guys enjoy the show and remember, if you donate via mfxpodcast.com you can hear the teaser of when Paul Levesque called TNA!
Peace
Duckman
I listened to about an hour and a half of this last night. Hilarious stuff so far especially the discussion about #AskDixie
Ok, after having donated and got to listen to Ian's Prank call to TNA I have to say...
So not worthy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh78T--ZUxY#)
it is absolutely HILLARIOUS. If you haven't donated, trust me do it. It is so, SO worth it.
I came here to say I donated and heard the prank call too and it's genius! The phone-call persona Ian puts on is just too funny.
Thanks guys and I hope people from EFK continue to give us a chance. We have a core group who listen to us here and we really appreciate it. I would like to hope we get more and more from EFK who we have helped support this site for, support our new project in return.
I love how it opens with a question about Doc, haha.
MFX55 – RAW is force fields.
Wait a second, it's Wednesday and MFX is up? That's right folks, we're so awesome we decided to give you your weekly dose of MFX goodness a day earlier than normal.
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian as they traverse the week in WWE and TNA in their usual inimitable style. You know how we do this by now: loads of pop culture references, satirical, surreal and utterly hilarious. Oh and some chat about wrestling.
The show kicks off this week with Sir Ian's adventures in babysitting. We revel in your feedback and more merch ideas. Sir Ian brings the #AskDixie sarcasm tsunami back to MFX and it's funny. Plus we discuss your emails and actually try to give some serious insight into wrestling.
Then it's on to the IMPACT review. The show was kind of boring and built around Hogan again but as always we mine a never ending seam of comedy gold. You will never hear IMPACT reviewed like this, anywhere, ever.
We wrap the show up with our review of RAW. Another boring show from WWE which is saved by the continuing adventures of Gameboy and of course Ryback and Nee Nor.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get in touch with MFX through all the usual channels.

This just made me really, really happy.
Just wanted to say that, despite not watching any wrestling for about 5 months, I listened to MFX 54 and enjoyed it.
WTF DID IAN TYPE TO YOU ABOUT THE KID?!?!?!
Sorry man, that's something that for Ian's own good needs to stay out of the public domain!
Hope you guys are all enjoying the show and for anyone wondering, the song at the end is by N-Trance, the dance act that the Usos, Cena and Nee Nor were raving along to!
Peace
Duckman
In response to Ian giving me the mumble reaction and initiating a more believable feud than John Cena vs Rybitch (/w NeNor), great show Duckman, you really carry the show for that other guy.
LOL! Thanks buddy. I'll talk about my fucked up back on next week's show and how I reckon I hurt it carrying Ian every week!
Peace
Duckman
Thanks Molly Hollands...
Molly was over in her time!
While I should've posted this closer to the show... I'd had a really shitty day at work and you guys posting the show on weds made my day not suck. (unfortunately Thursday sucked as well but that's not the point)
so thanks guys. You (partially) saved me from office BS
Hey guys,
As always thanks for the feedback on MFX55 - it's really appreciated.
Just to let you know, we're having to record the show opening and IMPACT on Sunday evening UK time, due to Ian's hectic playboy lifestyle.
So if you want to have anything included in the opening of MFX56 you'll need to post it here or email mfx.show@gmail.com either today or tomorrow.
Show opening is always helped by you guys getting involved, we love to hear from you. So get in touch!
Cheers,
Duckman
I have so much appreciation for MFX, I'd spend all my PR money on an MFX Appreciation Night.
Recording show opening and IMPACT review at 7pm UK time tonight. So act now if you want your emails etc included on the show this week!
Cheers,
Duckman
MFX56 – Tales from the Emergency Room.
You know how last week everyone freaked out because MFX was up a day early? Check us out, we're posting on TUESDAY this week! That's right, TUESDAY!
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in life and professional wrestling in a fashion that's so comedic, it'll render all other jokes obsolete.
They kick the show off this week with talk about Sir Ian's trip to the emergency room with kidney stones. Duckman joins the medical kick as he talks about his trip to the osteopath to cure his bad back. They talk your feedback, emails and some of the big stories in the world of wrestling including Randy Orton being attacked by a fan, Kurt Angle's DUI and the big reveal on IMPACT this week.
Then it's on to the IMPACT review. This was a newsworthy and controversial episode of IMPACT and we hold nothing back. This is a really fun review, which always descends into chaos, mayhem and jokes about Garrett Bischoff.
They wrap the show up with the RAW review. So it's more greatness from CM Punk and Brock Lesnar, a weird but effective promo by John Cena and that was really about it. So MFX fill the time with the usual Ryback and Nee Nor tomfoolery. The HHH/Brad Maddox/Gameboy saga continues. There's some reality TV stars to make fun and a ton more.
Sir Ian was really ill this week and he manned up to record MFX, so be sure to send him your best wishes and laugh along as MFX tear up the week in WWE and TNA in the only way they know how.
Thanks for listening and be sure to get involved in next week's show through all the usual channels.

You guys. Are. Awesome.
Its like you knew I was going to be away from my computer on the usual MFX day and decided you didn't want to make me wait.
You guys just made a pretty good day (what with this being my last day of work for a week) an awesome one
Anything we can do to make life better for you guys!
Sir Ian was 12 hours removed from being in hospital and he stepped up to do the show. Legend!
Would love to hear more feedback on the show from you guys.
Cheers!
Duckman
Really appreciated the shout-out, guys. Alana thought it was real sweet (stay AWAY, Ian!).
That first hour and change was the best part of the show. Going from personal anecdotes to listener acknowledgement to insight into TNMMA sounds like it could get clunky, but it was seamless and just flew by.
I'm a Machine Gun mark like no other, but even I saw that Sabin vignette and literally said out loud, "That's a fucking ruler award, right there.' Good to hear you were in agreement.
Great discussion about Impact's ending -- spot-on with the absurdity of it all
Raw discussion was okay, but you work with what you've got, I guess. Practically did a spit-take when I heard the phrase, "Dr. Dre meets Foghorn Leghorn." just brilliant.
With all these characters, pleeeeease let me help with or record a future commercial or holiday skit. I've got ideas like Sunny's got issues.
Just finished listening to this week's show, great stuff as always. The thought of all these characters popping up on Twitter scares me...apparently "Cool Dude Kofi" just popped up as well.
Good times.
By the way, whatever y'all did to fix the quality of the "Try-Hard" jingle, thank you. That shit bothered me for weeks. :)
another great show as always, same with last weeks and I'm with Alex K. on all the twitters being made based on characters from the show it's getting kinda scary seeing how many they are now but on the positive it shows how popular the show is getting.
Now if you excuse me I now got to get the Try hard ruler of the week song out of my head.
Thanks for the kind words guys. We're really glad you're enjoying the show this week. It was a labour of love for Ian to get it done but we didn't miss a beat!
The more feedback we get, the better! Helps us know what's working and what's not and also gives us something to chat about during the show opening.
Marc - if you want to do anything for the show, just email me mate and let me know. Sure we can work something out!
The twitter account thing is getting crazy. I love it. It's just awesome to see that segments or characters on the show are popular enough that people are making Twitter accounts for them!
Now, if only Gary would reply to my emails and tweets and we might be able to get some merch sorted out for you guys to buy!
The 'Boo Me, I'm Mean' t-shirt idea seems popular!
Thanks for the support guys, we really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Duckman
Just a heads up guys - MFX57 won't be up until Thursday evening.
Last couple of shows have been up crazy early, didn't want to get anyone's hopes up that this week would be the same.
There's the small matter of England vs. Scotland in the football on Wednesday at Wembley (which one half of the MFX podcast is going too - not this half!) which means we need to push the RAW recording back a night.
Although as a bonus, you can hear us bicker about the game before the RAW review!
Show opening and IMPACT review are all ready recorded, so Thursday's posting shouldn't be too late.
Cheers,
Duckman
MFX57 – Hey, this is Kurt and BEEP....
That's right folks, MFX is BACK and ready to bring you another full on, impression filled, snarktastic wrestling podcast like no other!
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in wrestling as only they can.
We've got SO much great stuff on this show, this little post can't do it justice.
Just go listen for yourself.

MFX58 – Bye Bye Brick Hogan, Our Guy.
We thought when TNA let DOC go that 40% of our jokes on the IMPACT review had gone. Well, say goodbye to the other 60% because TNA released Brick Hogan. What a tragedy. In honour of Brick's memory, every song on the show this week will be in tribute to Brick. She's gone, but never forgotten.
It's MFX58 folks and while our hearts may be broken at the loss of Brick, there's still plenty to love about MFX this week. Join your heroes as they traverse the week in WWE and TNA as only they can.
We've got full reviews of TNA Hardcore Justice, Summerslam and RAW.
This show is long, funny, insightful and needs to be in your life NOW!!
Check out the podcast page for more details, streaming and download links:

Would love to get some feedback from EFKers on the show!
Don't be shy.

I can't believe I somehow forgot about drunken Kurt Angle in last week's feedback! He was hilarious then and is just as hilarious this week. And loving Man-Child Chris Sabin as well. And definitely digging the way Nee Nor is slowly starting to break away from Rybitch and become his own character (as well as Rybitch trying to find a replacement imaginary friend - that shit is gold)
Great show as always guys. You didn't quite keep me up til 5AM this time, but it was a near run thing
I'll be honest -- I was real tempted to start a Twitter account for Soapy. Then I realized how similar it'd be to making a Twitter account for someone being domestically abused.
Duckman and myself will be trialing these...but the long awaited MFX Shop is now online. We get a small percentage of the shirts sold and I mean small. However, its about getting our fans involved with this. A special thanks to Alex for his design work in helping bring this together and he will get paid for shirts you guys buy.
So without further delay....

MFX59 – Better Than Perfect.
We're a day later than normal but fear not MFX Galaxy, this week's show is a sure fire classic. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in wrestling as only they can.
The show kicks off with Duckman's review of An Evening with Jim Ross he attended in Glasgow this week. As usual the show descends into chaos with talk of summer movies, your feedback on last week's show and your emails. They do cover some wrestling news – well they bury the messed up Bound for Glory Series, laugh heartily at Hulk Hogan's idea to improve TNA and we say goodbye to Todd DiBiase – he will be missed, if not really remembered.
Then it's on to IMPACT. Time for AJ Styles to get confusing. The two Brooke controversy. Wrestlers in jeans and more!
The show ends on a high this week with a fun episode of RAW and an even more fun review of it. Simple as that really.
As always thanks for listening folks and be sure to get involved in future shows through all the usual channels.

PODCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST!!!
finally mfx has comeback with another podcast
6:15AM Bitches!!!!
... fuck me it's 6AM
Didn't have as many funnies as usual (fuck you TNA!!!!), but still a good show. The bit about the JR Q&A at the beginning was price of admission worthy on its own. MFX Curtis Axel (needs an appropos nickname. Ian's version of him sounds REALLY like Barney the Dinosaur, but I can't think of a good nickname that combines the two) has potential.
Also, re. the TNA killing MFX's best jokes by releasing them dealio... guys, seriously - we need to fucking weaponize this. Make Garvis & ButtWes, Legendary 'Don't ask anyone, 'cuz they'll just deny it' Chavo, Hulkster and everyone else who sucks main characters
"Your names not Brick...It's Barry."
^I can't remember the last time I cried with laughter that hard. Thank you boys, Got a REALLY shit week coming up, and I know how to perk myself up just by listening to the truth about Hulk's twin brother coming out.
Great work once more boys. Looking forward to next weeks show already.
I haven't been so entertained by anything involving Curtis Axel in my entire life.
Since we're going with the Al Gore angle, can we start calling him "An Inconvenient Curt?"
so I take it Curtis Axel is now officially the MFX version of Buzz Killington?
Thanks for the shoutout fellas, it's an honor working with you guys. I'm glad to hear the shop is already making a splash, I for one have an eye on the Gameboy one myself. True story: my mom caught a glimpse of the design when I worked on it. I briefly explained the joke. She thought I was weird. I'm a wrestling fan, of COURSE I'm weird.
Anyways, great show all around. I like Marq's idea of calling him Inconvenient Curt. The thought of Brick being Hulk's twin is loltastic.
There's nothing better than reading we've been able to make you guys laugh. It's like getting a gold star off the teacher!
Alex, thanks for all your work on getting the t-shirt designs rocking. We've already had a few sales - which is amazing!
The feedback and interaction around MFX is so good right now and it's down to you guys.
So thank you and keep it coming for this week which is MFX60!
Peace
Duckman
MFX60 – Who The F**K Is Allen Jones?
Batten down the hatches, pour yourself a drink, light one up, sit back and relax as the single most entertaining wrestling podcast on the internet returns for another week. That's right you luck people – MFX IS BACK!
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in WWE and TNA as only they can – with tons of jokes and plenty of salty language.
Check out the podcast page for full details on the show and all the links you need!
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=276 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=276)
While the 'who is Allen Jones' bit was funny, I must say gents, I'm disappointed you didn't somehow relate it to Aled Jones (he of 'walking in the air' and Songs of Praise fame).
Great show this week guys. Funnies were definitely back, loving An Inconvenient Curt. The 'Sign Language' bit was killer.
And cheers for the no-shave 2013 shout out - 249 days and counting
Edit: I support the Brick Hogan Try Hard Ruler of the Week rename. I'd need to hear a re-worked theme before I can form an opinion. But I think that Brick should present the award

I deal on the 2nd part of that Brick shall present the award here on in.
glad to see the funny was back in the TNA portion of the show despite TNA's best efforts to try and kill some of your best material also loving the inconvenient curt bits especially the whole sign language bit which had had me in tears.
it also was good to hear that I wasn't the only one who thought the crying big show stuff was well for lack of a better term goofy, honestly it reminded me of this japanese manga they did of the Incredible Hulk where Banner did not turn into the Hulk when angry but when he was sad and upset, he(the hulk) would also had tears streaming down his face as he went on a rampage and in one part they had him running and crying like a little bitch from a angry mob.
(http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/5/9/1/27591.jpg)
(http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/5/8/8/27588.jpg)
You know that actually gives me a idea on a nick name for the Big Show if this crying crap continues, the blubbering behemoth, fear him or he may cry on you and look pathetic.
ah well at least it will make for some good photoshop material, thinking of taking a image of a crying big show holding his newly won Try hard ruler of the week award and toss in a mention of the MFX podcast in it in some creative way and start using it as my sig on some of the boards i frequent .
Looking forward to the next show and seeing what crazy and funny stuff you two come up with. One last thing I'm all for renaming the Try hard ruler of the week award in, for lack of a better term, honor of Brick/Barry Hogan who unintentionally brought us so many laughs at his/her/it's expense
New Nee Nor range of products. A new big mans hoody and also beer glasses and mugs avaible too. Be a true blue supporter of the show and order something today!!!
http://mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com/ (http://mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com/)
I just listened to my first ever MFX Podcast, which happened to be the latest one posted, #60. The banter in the beginning between you two guys was funny and for someone who hasn't watched wrestling in years the insight and review of the shows was good.
I will definitely listen to another one.
so going to have to get me either the neenor or valued listener beer glass and the coffee mug, my current one has seen better days.
You'll all be please to know that I've been kicking ass at work as of late, so I thought I'd get myself a treat in the form of a "Shroomgate Survivor" and "Valued Listener" t-shirts...
...Now I've got to wait 6 weeks for the things to turn up...piss...
Either way, a slight suggestion coming off the podcast this week, namely, if you're going to release a "Boo Me, I'm Mean" shirt, can I suggest that you also go with a sister-shirt of "I'm a Face, don't you know?". Possibly sell it in a combo pack so people can switch depending on their mood.

Working on the Boo Me/Cheer Me shirts as we speak. Not sure if Spreadshirt will do combo packs, but as Ian said on the show I'm sure something can be arranged.
Honestly, I think the t-shirts just on their own are going to be awesome regardless. :)
The Boo Me/Cheer Me shirts are available.
I know a few people have now received their shirts in the UK, including me (I bought one to check the quality and they're pretty damn good) so the delivery time from the States to the UK is about 7-10 days, which is awesome.
If you'd like to show your support for Ian and I and MFX, then check out http://mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com/ (http://mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com/) and order your t-shirt, mug, or any other piece of merch that catches your eye!
And to everyone who has already purchased something and to Alex K for his hard work in getting the designs done, thank you all. It's really appreciated and your support for us and the podcast will not be forgotten.
Ouch... another $14 to deliver to the UK?
Afraid so man. But it's worth it. A once in a lifetime purchase to show your love and support for MFX.
Someone bought $75 worth of merch yesterday!! Insane.
#MaybeNextPayday
No worries man, I know not everyone can just drop £30 on something like this.
But keep us in your thoughts if you guys do have some extra cash, the t-shirts are great and all the money goes towards funding MFX and helping out with EFK running costs too.
Peace

Just a head's up that we're recording the show opening and IMPACT review for MFX61 tonight at 7pm UK time.
So if you've got stuff you want included on the show, now is the time to send it in! Either here or via email, mfx.show@gmail.com
Cheers,
Duckman
I sent a donation that so far has gone unclaimed.
I saw that buddy, thank you! Will claim it tonight when I get home.
This week's show will be going up on Friday as Ian's away working but it'll be worth the wait. We recorded the first half last night and between tales of how lightweight Abrigo is when it comes to booze, to SKELLY sending us an email that had me and Ian crying with laughter, to an IMPACT review that features People's Court - TNA vs. Bellator and tons more, I think this'll be one of our best shows to date!
Spread the word, get excited, MFX is back and on top form!!

Marc, the show is named The Ballad of Three Pint Betty in your honour!
Gah! How bad is the abuse?
Not too bad. Although there are emails from Aaron and Dorling about your inability to handle your drink
We do get to discussing you being drunk, running off into the Soho night and leaving Alana alone with a bunch of strapping Englishmen you met on the internet. I think that riff ends up with you being locked in the back of a van and Alana moving in with Trumps. All good fun stuff.
There's a song dedicated to your lightweightness too!
Truth be told, thanks to Skelly's email, we get kind of distracted from you and end up marking out about Skelly and then making fun of him!
It's a damn fun first hour this week - show will be up later tonight, probably around 8-9pm UK time.
Understandably, I think I'm looking more forward to the Skelly e-mail. It's like seeing the band get back together!
MFX61 – The Ballad Of Three Pint Betty.
We know the last week has felt like an eternity. You've been sitting there, refreshing ITunes and Stitcher every day, hoping and praying that maybe today would be the day MFX returned. Well, today is that day!! The only wrestling podcast that leaves your sides hurting from laughter and your brain buzzing from insight into the sport you know and love is BACK!!
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in wrestling and life in general as only they can – hilariously.
The show kicks off with tales of Duckman getting drunk, Sir Ian eating snails and we hear all about Sir Ian's trip to London to meet some of the MFX Galaxy. We learn all about just how little booze Marc Abrigo can handle and his new nickname inspired the title of the show this week.
Plus there's all your feedback and emails, including the return of one of Duckman and Sir Ian's favourite people on planet earth – the legend that is Skelly! Yep, the first hour of the show has no mention of wrestling. What? It's MFX - you know how we do this.
Fear not, the rest of the show is jam packed with the most entertaining reviews of TNA No Surrender, WWE Night of Champions and Monday Night Raw that you will hear anywhere.
We're back, we're rocking and you're welcome.
Thanks for listening, be sure to get involved in future shows through all the usual channels. Oh and BUY SOME MERCH!

He certainly does not speak California either .... maybe the girly West Hollywood drinking culture
Seemed like a good show again this week guys (I will admit I may have tuned bits of the show out as it was my background theme to a marathon GTA5 session). Loved the random French stuff and Ryback arguing with Nee Nor about his new collection of friends.
Should also point out that the above was my second listen around - first time I kinda dozed off (mainly due to trying to listen to it at 4AM after having returned home from my new boss' welcom drink, where I consumed, way way, waaay too much JD) - which resulted in the humorous situation of my not realizing the TNA review had ended, presumably got jerked into wakefiullness by the Try Hard Ruler theme, and being really confused as to why AJ Styles was now talking to Aksana.
right, a little feedback, as Duckman asked so nicely.
Firstly, I've a bit of a confession. Namely that I've stopped watching wrestling for some time now. I haven't watched any WWE since the Royal Rumble two years ago, and Impact turned into Impact and after trying for so hard to hang on, I finally decided to ditch the sinking ship. So MFX has been the helpful source of information I have in regards to TNA and WWE. This is what I have learned from this weeks show:
-Duckman is apparently psychic in being able to predict that AJ would win the Bound for Gloryhole Series, regardless that the specific means of which he did it were more political then actual storyline based.
-Sir Ian's musk of Brute and pure manliness was ineffective against the drunken power of the Three Pint Betty as Marq's lady friend seem to be able to go back to the state unaffected.
-Scott Armstrong is apparently French, and has a mustache of which he twiddles evilly whenever he talks.
-Mr Anderson can apparently put on good matches, but only when it's mostly him getting the shit kicked out of him, and he's on his way out of the company.
-Mrs Trumps has successfully brainwashed Ian into accepting that Total Divas is actually quite interesting, an infection that after looking at my twitter feed today has also spread to Duckman.
-Wrestling fans who asked for refunds to NOC are crooks/morons
-The companies who gave them their refunds are just morons.
-Dusty Road's theme music is AWESOME!!!
There is one other point I would like to bring up. Something said about myself within the podcast of which has no doubt gotten me worried. After purchasing two of your fine t-shirts (avaliable at www.mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com (http://www.mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com)) apparently I got signed up to have a date with one Brick Barry Hogan. Now, if given the option to either stop listening to MFX, or go out with an 8'7'' caveman, who will use his jaw as a club to knock me out before dragging me back to his cave to look at his wall writings...
...well, don't say I would never take one for the team.
Signed
-"The Bride of Brick" Rhys.
Good stuff lads, thanks for that!
Abrigo - the floor is yours buddy, the MFX Galaxy will want to hear your retort to the accusation of Trumps and others.
We're recording on Wednesday, so if you want to set the record straight - and celebrate your Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award - now's the time!

Consider this my retort, good sir.
It's not very often I have to defend my reputation, but considering I've been reamed for it both domestically and across the pond, I feel I must set the record straight. There's many things in this world a man must simply "be a man about." Family, your significant other, etc. But above all, a man must be particularly proud of himself and all the adversity he's endured to make him the man he is today. Now, I've been made fun of my entire life -- for being a nerd, a fat kid, gay, a wrestling fan, the list goes on and on.
But after some real thought, the e-mails last week particularly got to me. Aaron, Dorling, and Ian are great blokes, but I actually began to resent a lot of it, despite all of it being in jest. In fact, I'm typing this from my smartphone at a nearby BAR right now, 'cause I'm so angry I literally could not wait to get home to get this all out. I'm even drinking a beer to calm myself down, because the factof the matter is tha t while I enjoy all the jokes you gyus make., there's a difference between laguhing WITH someone and laughing AT soomoem. I thogyuht you gues were my frienes, but i ghyess i Was hwrong.

Nice work Marc! Retort duly discussed on MFX62 - which will be up tonight.
Cracking show this week, worth the price of admission for Ian's review of Dustin Diamond's (Screech from Saved by the Bell) autobiography.
MFX62 – We Go Beyond The Bell.
Normally we do a big intro here, but most of you don't read it and this show stands on its own merits. It doesn't need any more hype than this:
Drunk Marc Abrigo fights back. Skelly fails with an email. The MFX Galaxy are once again forced into buying merchandise. Duckman steps into the world of Total Divas. Sir Ian reviews the autobiography of Screech from Saved By The Bell...and that's just the show opening.
IMPACT is reviewed early on a Sunday morning, which results in unrelenting hilarity and great energy. Then Dixie Carter vs. AJ Styles work/shoot rubbish happens and we give up on TNA. Sir Ian is broken. Officially.
Time for RAW – The Shield vs. The World, more of Miz's Dad, JBL and Big Show exchange texts about beating up Miz, Gameboy returns and Ryback annoys CM Punk. One of our most fun reviews of RAW in a long time.
See, such little hype. So dive in yourself. Join Sir Ian and Duckman as we traverse the week in wrestling. No one does this like us. Mainly because they're non smarky, professional people and we're two idiots who spend too much time laughing about childish rubbish.
Thanks for listening. Be sure to get involved in next week's show through all the usual channels. Oh and BUY SOME MERCH!!
PLAYLIST:
Saved By The Bell theme

Listening to it now. Leaving full feedback when I get a chance, but just so you know:
The website for MFX merch is SO good, it doesn't even need a WWW at the start. Just sayin'.
Oh really? So in that case all people have to do is go to mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com and they can purchase some amazing MFX merch? COOL!!
Hopefully you guys are enjoying the show this week - we had a ton of fun recording!
Exactly! Three less letters to type, and nine less syllables to say when you're shilling it ;)
Great show as always, fellas. Currently listening to the text conversation between JBL and Big Show. Hilarious.
Hey guys,
We're recording the IMPACT review and possibly the opening of the show tonight at 7pm.
So if you've got feedback, questions, topics of discussion or anything else you'd like included on MFX62, then leave them here on Twitter or via email - mfx.show@gmail.com
The show is always helped and improved by the input of you guys, so let's here from you!
Cheers,
Duckman
So, Alana just told me that she ordered shirts for the both of us.
...
I got the fucking Brontosaurus, didn't I?
What I have learned from this weeks show:
John Cena, in accordance with his description of Total Divas by the MFX Podcast, is a 15 year old boy who likes the left tit more then the right.
Due to the fact that Micky James and Sexy Magnus are an item, the day those two procreate the applications to join NAMBLA are going to sky rocket.
Screw giving Kane his mask back, the way to save wrestling is by putting Velvet Sky in a bikini.
If Gunner is going to steal MDK (aka Adam Wrong's) name, the least he could do is spell it right.
Dixie Carter wasn't turning off the lights at the end of Impact isn't so much to cut off AJ, but more to save the money that she's hemorrhaging out of her company.
According to Duckman, a Chicago crowd can do no wrong...
Bray Wyatt is unquestionably once of the most interesting gimmicks to come along in the last 10 years...and according to Sir Trumps the biggest fault is the fact that Bray Wyatt IS a gimmick...(I fear while listening to Ian's argument last week that while I may not wish it, I'm afraid he may be correct in his assumptions.)
The mental image of JBL and Big Show texting one another like teenage girls is comedy gold.
The imagination ball may very well be the next great MFX t-shirt, along with "The Crowd Goes Mild..."
I'm thinking that Ryback may now know the difference between lions and tigers, however, does he get confused by people in tiger-print onesies like the animals at Chavingtons?
A few XXX Titles that Nee Nor has worked in: Assident and Emergency. Red (and blue) Light District. Grills Gone Wild.
And finally, after listening to Brick's reactions last week, in the great words of Arrested Development. "I've made a huge mistake..."
Great show as always, looking forward to the next one if I live past my date.
MFX63 is up!! Which means it's time once again for the single most entertaining reviews of IMPACT and RAW you'll hear anywhere.
Plus all our usual MFX goodness with listener comments, emails, stories and even some insightful chat about NXT, Hogan's future with TNA and a ton more.
This is easily the most fun you'll have this week. MFX is sharper than Magnus' suits, funnier than Big Show's angry face and more entertaining than watching the US Senate try to agree on what they're going to have for lunch.

Haven't gotten Alana's reaction to it, yet, but I can say that the first hour is always a pleasure to listen to. Giving it up for your listeners is something I always admired you guys for, and it's still going strong.
TNA -- oh, dear. Where do I even begin with them? I loved the material on Hogan's possible options, and I do enjoy the fact that your hope booking is always realistic in the sense that, "If we did THIS, THAT would be cool -- but THIS would suffer from it." In this case, it's getting Hogan out of TNA, but how it would affect TNA's marketing strategy and attendance for their live shows. By the way -- did you know that "ETHAN" is "NAHTE" spelled backwards?! Can't wait for that Abyss feud.
As always, the "Raw" review is a great listen so far, and I'm glad an Inconvenient Curt is over SOMEWHERE. Maybe just this podcast, but that fucker can't complain. Still making my way through it, however, and I'll let you know more the deeper I get into it. "GTA V" is a hell of a drug.
SHIT! My e-mail was too late! Regardless, if I have to remain in this cage for another week, at least I've got MFX to keep me company. Great show as always. Looking forward to listening to the phone call Ian made to TNA, but until then, this is the information MFX has provided me with this week.
-Justin Gabriel is the South African equivalent to James Bond.
-You can tell who was with MFX before it took off because they still put a WWW at the beginning of the MFX Merch store website (Which can be found at www.mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com (http://www.mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com), because I'm old school like that).
-Knucks is currently making up for spending the first two years of his TNA career as a mute. And apparently he's good at it too!
-No one is safe from Sexy Magnus's musk and good looks. Not even Samoa Joe, who in all fairness you would have thought had developed a tolerance at this point.
-Now that Wes isn't in Aces and a pair of 2's anymore, at least he'll have more time to work on his King Lear.
-Dixie Carter is trying to trump Bricks current record of 3 Week Try-Hard Ruler reign.
-Sometimes even CM Punk can't save a show opening from a bad crowd.
-Legacy Era Randy Ortion Vs. Bray Wyatt: If this was put on PPV as an opener, the show would end before the entrances would.
-Not even the emotionless husk known as Stephanie Mcmahon can resist the grove of Dusty Rhodes theme music.
-The reason Jerry Lawler didn't wear the pink and black like everyone else because he either loves cancer, or he still believes he's in a feud with Brett Hart.
-Hunch: Super Detective; Now we wait for the twitter account...
Anyway, great show as always guys, and looking forward to next week.
-Rhys
Hey folks, we're recording the show opening and IMPACT review tonight at 7pm UK time.
So if you've got any more feedback, emails, topics of discussion, hate mail or anything else then now is the time to let us know.
Either here, on Twitter to fire us an email to mfx.show@gmail.com
Thanks.

Duckman, after watching the most recent episode of South Park which lampoons Zimmerman...I dont think we have anything to worry about being controversial again lol.
So are you saying we should keep that joke I was going to cut?? LOL!

ummm....we will defer to the panel of Jeff Hardy
Jeff says cut it, he wants to get on the show more!
"Wait a second -- this kid is WHITE!"
*electric chair*
An Inconvenient Curt continues to be inconveniently be the reason why I don't take bathroom breaks during Axel matches. Way to go, you crazy ass Brits.
Interesting thing about bathroom breaks is....
Loads of Curtis and Axel on the RAW review this week. The newest odd couple for MFX. They're getting so over I don't think NeeNor even made an appearance!
Show will be up later tonight!

Neenor's been doing the job for the past few weeks.
Sheesh, look at you guys unconsciously doing WWE booking and forgetting about the poor guy within the show itself. =P
MFX64 – A Week of Rubbish Wrestling.
Ah MFX Galaxy, it's been a tough week. What with Hogan not getting on the Dixie Train, Battleground being one of the most terrible WWE PPVs in a long time and then RAW being really boring – bar the final segment.
Don't worry though, Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps are back with another edition of MFX to brighten your mood and end your week in wrestling on a high.
We bring the length, the jokes and the kind of wrestling podcast that entertains you until you can't take any more!
You can subscribe to MFX on Itunes (search Marks for Xcellence) and stream the show via Stitcher (again search Marks for Xcellence). So you've got no excuse to miss another show.
Check out the podcast page for more details on the show and all the download/streaming links:
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=287 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=287)
Thanks for listening and enjoy the show.
Things I've learned from MFX64 (or as I'd like to call it in MFX's growing popularity, "The Political Album")
-Duckman will be playing The Grinch in this years MFXmas Story after promising such humorous delights of Sir Ian's call to TNA, only to delete it before it gets passed out to the expectant loyal listeners who bought MFX merch (avaliable at www.mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com (http://www.mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.com), and possibly www.mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.co.uk (http://www.mfxpodcast.spreadshirt.co.uk) if us brits are lucky.)
-Only MFX can transition effortlessly from the Pajama Dad in Sir Ian meeting the poor, to The Banana Hammock Daddy in Triple H's DVD.
-Rhys' fun facts: The reason Christopher Daniels and Kazarian were singing "Off The Chain", is because those are the words to the walk-out music for Bobby Roode, before it became the orchestral version that it is now. (Link to said version: Bobby Roode 9th TNA Theme Song - Off The Chain (Lyrical) [High Quality + Download Link] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4krLk7Yj4U4#ws))
-Hulk Hogan may be into selling coffins, but as he has yet to sign back with the sinking ship known as TNA, apparently he's not too fond of Viking Burials.
-Apparently Rybitch names his balls after the ambulance who owns them.
-Duckman has set himself a new personal best of watching RAW in 90 minuets, and if things keep going the way they are, I'm expecting for him to set his new goal at 1 hour 15.
-Jojo and JBL are apparently looking to reenact a scene from Downton Abbey...or at the very least JBL is.
-Rhys' Fun Facts: For some reason when I heard Huntch was going to Zimbabwe I immediately thought of "Shaft In Africa". This has no real relevance to the actual show, just a general point of interest into how my head apparently works.
-At the Try-Hard Ruler Award given to Bob Buckland, I ended up singing the theme at full blast to one of my dogs. Considering he's been neutered, the line "You're never going to get laid" seemed comically relevant to his situation.
...And that's it. I don't mean for this to sound insulting to the pair of you, but the wrestling this week was apparently so bad, I've literally forgotten every point you've made in the podcast, after I finished listening to it about 5 minuets ago. You know it has been a BAAAAAAAAAD week when even MFX can't mine that much gold for me to make into the jewelry for the feedback. As such, I've decided to present to the MFX, a talking point in the hopes to redeem my sub-par effort this week.
Rumor has it that the reason WWE is going all out for their Hell In The Cell PPV is an attempt to earn back the trust of their buying audience. By bringing back Cena early to fight Del Rio (Cena being a PPV draw for the kids market) and bringing in Shawn Micheals in to ref the match between Ortion and Bryan in a HITC match, in order to promise the audience a finish. Basically, they're trying to give fans their very best in order to earn their trust back.
My question: Isn't that what you're suppose to do for EVERY PPV?!!! Aren't you suppose to save your very best matches with clear-cut finishes in order to get the people to pay to see them? I know TNA has pretty much bottomed out at this point, but considering WWE has been doing this for 30 years now, you would have thought that they understand how this shit works!
Discuss, and hopefully I'll be on better form next week.
-Rhys
Its quite ironic that investigative reporter Sonic Matthews who tried to catch the Brodus Clay Child Sex Ring Story....does sound incredibly like Chris Hansen from To Catch A Predator...we will need to work that in more.

I think it's more ironic that the man who presents "To Catch a Funkasaurus", is, at least according to Hunch, is a sexual predator of Jooooooooohn Cena.

I have pitched an idea to Duckman to compensate his deleted recording of Hark Hooogan calling TNA. A special series for those who bought merchandise.
Well, first up gents, I have to congratulate you on one of the finest examples of black humour I've heard in a long time with the JBL's 'Bullying as Sports' segway. Its probably wrong that I laughed as hard as I did at that, but I don't care, it was even funnier than the Hunch segment from last week.
Also thanks for putting me in touch with the Hulkster guys. We're still working out terms (it has something to do with 'trickle-down Hoganomics'), but I'm amazed I never thought of the pastamania deal before. You guys are awesome.
Great show as per usual guys, love it. all the thumbs up.
I of course loved the show. Note on merch: Hunch is on his way to the MFX inbox. Sorry for the delays, life got crazy busy but a good crazy lol. I've got some of the others we discussed on tap as well.
I can't get Sonic Matthews' "Joooooohn Cena" out of my head.
I continue to be amazed at just how bad Impact is on a weekly basis. At this rate, I for one would like to offer any other weekly program for wrestling. It's been mentioned before, but if you want great wrestling related to WWE there's NXT...if you literally want something that's just different, a number of promotions put up weekly content on YouTube. Maybe Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, perhaps? LOL
Either way, your comedic contributions to wrestling society are most appreciated. Thanks, guys.
Thanks for the feedback so far gents, really appreciated.
Due to Ian's work schedule we're not able to record this week.
We'll be back next week with a full show that will include a review of TNA's Bound for Glory - that's this weekend, right?
Anyway, no show this week but we'll be back week beginning 21st October with all your usual MFX goodness.
Cheers,
Duckman

Nathan Explosion- NOOOOOO! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbK_dbsCu0#)
Sorry dudes!
On the plus side, if you've bought some MFX merch, send us an email - mfx.show@gmail.com - we've got something special for you guys as a thank you for buying something!
Be sure to email us because the spreadshirt records only go by post/zip codes and I can't identify who everyone is who bought merch.
So if you want this special thank you for supporting MFX, be sure to email us!
The 'hidden track' special will be sent out over the next couple of days.
Cheers,
Duckman
e-mail sent. And I echo all the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" statement.
We've received an email from a valued listener.
Quote from: Rob on October 15, 2013, 03:30:05 PM

Possibly from YOU!
Just listened to said "hidden track".
Next payday, I'm getting another shirt just for that (plus I'm kind of losing a lot of weight, so I've got to restock my wardrobe). Excellent work boys. Bravo.
That one was all down to Ian. I just edited it together.
Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Also, anyone who bought merch and hasn't received an email or FB message with the link, let me know and I'll send it over to you.
We're back this week folks with MFX65!! It'll be all the usual MFX awesomeness you've come to know and love. We'll have reviews of IMPACT (if we can be arsed) Bound for Glory and RAW.
If you want to get involved with MFX65, either with topics, questions, feedback, etc then just send us an email to mfx.show@gmail.com send us a Tweet @MFXPodcast or leave a message here. Thanks folks! Get excited, after a week off we're back!!!
Just a thought after re-listening to the last show.
Deleto. Much lesser known brother of Magneto, and only has enough magnetic power to erase data from VHS Tapes, DVDs and hard drives.
MFX65 – No Offence...
We're back!! That's right folks, after a week off MFX is back with the kind of wrestling podcast your Mother warned you about.
This week on MFX:
Duckman and Sir Ian discuss offensiveness, your feedback, emails and a ton of other random subjects.
They review IMPACT but spend most of the time forming their new band – Fourway which eventually breaks up by the end of the review.
Bound for Glory gets the MFX treatment. It wasn't great. This review is.
RAW is a bit more fun. We review the show, Duckman tries to score with Nikki Bella and Josh Matthews is the unlikely catalyst.
We've been off for week, which means the show is funnier and more insightful than usual. Seriously.
As always thanks for listening, be sure to get involved in future shows through all the usual channels and BUY SOME MERCH!

PLAYLIST:
Marilyn Manson – mOBSCENE
Creedence Clearwater Revival – Travelling Band
Guns and Roses – Welcome to the Jungle
I can't wait for the 7th of next month..I am getting a damn good check then and I will be buying at least one shirt :D
Thing I have learned from Episode 65 of MFX:
- If people are complaining about the fact the podcast isn't PC, and Duckman and Sir Iran don't care about this, then I am seriously wondering how bad the joke that they cut out of the show a few weeks ago really was.
- Apparently when the uprising of the poor happens, Friend of the show Ash Hendrix will be leading the troop to our defense. I would be slightly worried for him, if it were not for the fact I see his mirror equivalent on the other side being something akin to Baldrick from Black Adder.
- Dixie Carter went above and beyond the call of duty for Try hard Ruler winners. When Brick steps in before the theme music to the TNA review has stopped you know shit has gotten real.
- "Someone get me a Slingshot and a Bag of Mushrooms!" - Duckman. Discussing Bully Ray trying to save the sinking ship of TNA, or sewing the seeds to Shroomgate 2.
- Tenaz: Wrestling's New Power(less) Couple.
- I now want to see Angle and Keith Chegwin on Celebrity Rehab.
- A poem: Gameboy and Mertle, sitting in a tree, P-LO-T-T-I-N-G. First they fight off Dixie, Then they destroy Trip's marriage, because they told Step about the Banana Hammock.
- Apparently Bellator is commentating all TNA PPVs for Germany, or at least on Ian's version.
- Scott Armstrong was cooking Sir Ian's meals during Bound for Glory.
-Kurt Angle pulled off the bullshit "It's not you, it's me" excuse for the TNA Hall of Fame.
- Playing Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses after BFG. I couldn't help but find the irony of the lyrics "Welcome to the Jungle, it gets worse here every day" in regards to TNA.
- I'd just like to say that due to the small discussion with Gameboy about if Triple H was the Brad Maddocks of Shawn Michaels, I now have the mental image of Michaels and Trips "Playing twister without spinning the wheel". God damn you Gameboy...
- So with Step, H, and Shawn all giving off an excellent performance in acting by Sir Ian's standards does that mean we're going to start giving out an Anti-Tryhard Ruler?
- On a slightly more serious note, I, like John Cena, lift weights in my spare time, and can empathize with his worry. The harsh reality of his life style, is that in the gym, especially strength gyms that I'm sure he frequents, you worth is proven simply by the amount of weight of which you can lift. So take that away from someone, even for a short time, will incidentally make them feel incredibly weak. It's the same reason why steroids are so prevalent in both weight lifting and in professional wrestling. You need to put yourself at the top of the pedestal by bring the biggest and strongest guy around, of which, if you consider it, is what put him in the position he is within the WWE. So as a small note, while you may consider Cena a possible Sociopath because of hiw reaction for being told that he can't lift weights for a week, I fear that he is far from the only one who reacts in such a way.
...Damn, that conversation got heavy quickly (pun fully intended), now back to the jokes.
- Sir Ian's Scottish accent is superb. No jokes, just facts.
- Duckman would be receiving the Christian treatment in his sex video with Nikki Bella in getting himself blocked out with a blue dot, however, the PC police would probably see that as offensive to Smirfs the world over.
All in all, another 5 hours well spend listening to you two BS on the wrestling world. Great show, and looking forward to this weeks.
-Rhys

Thanks for listening!
Feedback for MFX 66:
- So, I'm just going to start this off with a little story. Back where Alana and I went to high school, I knew a young gentleman named Henry. Henry was one of those guys who was remarkably unremarkable, but otherwise a pretty normal kid. He was in Alana's class (c/o 2004), a year before me, and was pretty much known for having this young face but a weird sort of "finish" to it -- like if a ten year-old said, "Fuck little league, I wanna do meth." Anywho, that's how I knew him -- until of course, one day when my friends from college and I sat down for our daily laugh riot viewing of "To Catch A Predator." I think you might know where this is going. During one of the stings in Petaluma (a town in the Bay Area KNOWN as a haven for child molesters, and also where the Polly Klaas case took place in the '90s for all our U.S. listeners), my best friend (since high school) and I did a spit-take when someone named "Henry Guzman" showed up to the house. Sure enough, it's Little Henry trying to get his "D" wet with a 14 year-old girl. My friend then says, "Dude, I fucking know his girlfriend!" After going through our social networks, we come to find out a few things:
1.) Henry's family basically disowned him after that episode had originally aired.
2.) The phone call between him and the decoy is up on YouTube.
3.) The girlfriend is STILL WITH HIM (that's fucking loyalty, sirs).
After taking all of this into account, we had a good ol' laugh and started trying to find him on Facebook to no avail. If anything it goes to show you -- if you get busted for trying to have sex with kids (http://www.homefacts.com/offender-detail/CA46707186L4489/Henry-Joe-Guzman.html), Three-Pint Betty will try to troll the shit out of you. That, and it was CLEARLY Gail Kim on "Impact."
- As an aside -- a truly heelish tactic to elicit a response while wearing the "Boo Me, I'm a Heel" shirt? Molest Chris Hansen.
- ALSO in tune with "To Catch a Predator?" I know you're big "South Park" fans, so I'm surprised no one mentioned the episode "Les Petit Tourrettes" (S11E08), where Chris Hansen is featured rather prominently:
Just Bein Stupid I Guess (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ylymgn0J7c#noexternalembed-ws)
Just a head's up guys, MFX67 - The IMPACT Edition will be up tomorrow evening around 7pm UK time.
Had a little delay in recording tonight and I'm too lazy to stay up late to edit and post it.
Will be worth the wait!
Cheers,
Duckman
Our new show format was tested tonight...our first podcast is now a crisp 2 hours which includes:
- Show opening emails, plugs, general chat
- Discussion on Colt Cabana and Duckman's new wrestling DVD purchase
- Smashing Pumpkins...buys TNA
- Vince McMahon...buys TNA
- Dos and Donts of buying TNA 'moneyball that mother fucker'
- Jake Roberts...buys TNA
- OVW and TNA done and the fallout
- Full review of TNA Impact
Bearing in mind we usually overrun on this a crisp two hours as a seperate podcast is a great starting point for us as a show which is always known for the length as well as the content. We would appreciate feedback on this once it is up tomorrow. The RAW edition will be up tail end of the week.
I actually just finished listening to MFX66 yesterday, quite enjoyed it. Catch A Predator references are just great.
Looking forward to the new format.
Loved the last show, however, I cannot help but be disappointed when Sir Ian stopped calling Chris Hansen "Anderson".
My dream of seeing Mr Anderson Mic Dropping peados to cement his face turn has been dashed. Still, one can dream...
Looking forward to the new format as well. Now I can get double the does of MFX every week, and how is that a bad thing?
Here we go folks, the first MFX Podcast of the week is up!! It's MFX67 - The IMPACT Edition.
As you know we've split MFX in two to make it easier on you guys to enjoy MFX to it's fullest effect.
This show is all about TNA, but don't let that put you off. It's another fun MFX show.
Check out the podcast page for more details on the show and the streaming and download links:
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=295 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=295)
Thanks and enjoy the show!
Would love to hear from you guys if you've listened to MFX67 IMPACT edition.
Especially on the new format, the new jingle (I love it) and just the general content of the show.
We've changed things up to try and get more of you to listen regularly - would be great if you did!
I'm midway through the Impact review. I love the new format. I've been listening in the car and I think 2 days worth of driving to work will get me through the show, which is great. I might get to the end of it tonight.
While I admit that I don't listen to the iMPACT side of things, given I don't watch TNA and never found myself interested enough to watch it, I do enjoy the new split brand format of it. Although if there's one thing I will always do is listen to the intro and that first hour of Duckman and Trumpers just shooting the shit on whatever - highly entertaining stuff on that area, as always, friends.
A little late, but just as awesome as ever - MFX67 The Raw Edition is up!
The usual MFX review of RAW, plus we cover your feedback and some of the big stories of the week in WWE.
Check out the podcast page for more details on the show:
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=297 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=297)
This is two hours of non-stop wrestling podcast gold. Seriously. Check it out if you don't believe me!
Enjoy the show folks, remember to check out the TNA show from earlier in the week.
If you've got feedback, topics, questions, or anything else for the shows next week, be sure to get in touch through all the usual channels.
Just got me a shirt, almost forget about it.
Good man Tezza!! Which one did you go for?
Anyone else got any feedback on last week's shows? We'll be recording tonight so if you've got any feedback, now is the time to get it to us. You can either leave it here or email us mfx.show@gmail.com
Thanks,
Duckman
I got the Boo Me I'm a Heel Shirt.
Ah, our most popular design so far! Good stuff buddy.
MFX68 - The IMPACT Edition is up!!
It's your first shot of MFX goodness of the week and we've got a cracking show for you.
We review Beyond the Mat which is a ton of fun. We also review TNA IMPACT, which wasn't as much fun. Still, when you can drop in references to 80s computer games, it can't be all bad.
Check out the podcast page for more details on the show:
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=299 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=299)
Thanks and enjoy the show!
Listening right now. Will leave feedback tomorrow, but here's the thing New Jack was in recently (a sketch for The Daily Show on Comedy Central):
New Jack On The Daily Show | College Skit | JonXTalks | 9/5/13 | Jon Stewart Host (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMziIbsaFDc#ws)
The Daily Show, of course! Thanks Alex.
Hope everyone is enjoying the show and that the review of Beyond the Mat is bringing back some memories.
We'll have your all feedback, emails, a quick WWE movie review, Total Divas and RAW reviews on the second show, which will be posted on Friday.
Thanks for listening folks. This show is a real passion of mine and Ian and we hope that comes across every week!
Cheers,
Duckman
It's not quite the ear-worm that the Try-Hard Ruler and E-mail jingles are, but I think the new Impact jingle is starting to win me over. I'll admit I wasn't the biggest fan of it at first, but, like anyone over the age of 30 I fear change. That and 'Long Necks & Rednecks' is a damn tough act to follow.
Of course, that being said, loving the new format. I wouldn't call them 'bite-size' chunks by any means, but two 2-hour podcasts are much easier to find the time to listen to than one 4+ hour behemoth. Even if the TNA one seems to turn into 30 minutes of Impact review and 1 1/2 hours plus of random tangents, skits and other good stuff (which is fine since nobody cares about TNA anyway).
And before I go, loved the Matt the Mat skit from the Raw show. That was brilliant stuff.
Oh, and you probably shouldn't have Rybitch help Brick with security. You know he's just gonna fuck it up somehow
I got the shirt today, so much better than the estimated DOA of Monday, whenever I have the oppertunity I'll try and get a pic of me wearing it, might be awhile though.
MFX68 - The RAW Edition is up!
It's time for your second shot of MFX goodness of the week. This time we're back with a review of The Marine 3 - starring the Miz, Total Divas chat, your feedback and our usual review of RAW.
Check the podcast page for full details on the show:
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=302 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=302)
This show was a nightmare to record due to technical problems. We're also off on holiday for two weeks. So be sure to get your last fix of MFX for a fortnight.
Thanks and enjoy the show!
Well... That was definitely, interesting. I don't want to give you bad feedback, so I won't give you any at all. Enjoy your vacation! ;)

We were both disappointed with the outcome of it. Trying to get the recording to work for near on 3 hours was painful enough without dip outs and basically the pair of us being exhausted. I feel it was our worst show ever...and seeing as Sam and I pride ourselves on talking about the worst shows ever it wasnt a high note to end us on for a few weeks.
Still we will be back!
Hey a bad show is bound to happen once in a while, you guys did sound very disheartened at the beginning and it was noticeable that it took a little longer for you guys to start enjoying yourselves. There were some LOL moments, like John Cena's list of who to tell about his elbow and Tyson Kidd's "hey Nattie..."
I'm actually not sure this was a 'bad' show so to speak. But it certainly didn't have a good energy or flow to it. That's what happens when you have to sit for over 2 hours trying to sort out recording software and in the process one half of the show gets ill and has to be put down.
On another note, how did you guys find the sound quality of this show? Did you notice a difference between this one and the IMPACT show?
Just deciding if I want to stick with the new recording software I got, or have a look for something else before the next show.
Cheers,
Duckman
To be be honest, I didn't notice much of a difference audio wise. Not until the end, but that's to do with Ian having to use an iPod. Wasn't all that that terrible, either. Audio wise, it seemed to be fine.
Just out of curiosity, what software did you end up using for this show?
Ended up using one suggested by someone here - OneNote. I'm just deciding on whether or not to buy the pro version as the trial only lasts 14 days.
Only issues I've got with it, compared to Pamela Pro, is that it only records in one mono track, as opposed to two seperate stereo tracks. I like the two seperate tracks because it allows me to fix any lags on the Skype call, which can happen.
The second one is it only records the skype call in 24bits, which is pretty poor quality. I exported it at 40 and hopefully that made up for the poor quality of the actual call.
That said, it's incredibly easy to use and isn't that expensive to get the pro version.
I'm not saying it was awful, but you guys set yourself really high standards being great for a couple of years :P
Guess what? We might have a show this week! Well, more likely at the weekend.
Still working out the deets (as that hip s.o.b Sir Ian would say) but hopefully we can do a sort of catch up episode towards the end of the week and then return to the usual schedule next week.
We'll keep you posted!!
Cheers,
Duckman

Can't wait! Last years Xmas Special was so good.
I have recorded quite a lot tonight post our Impact Review we did. I have to say and not trying to toot our own horn, but this might be the FUNNIEST and BEST idea we have had EVER in MFX history. Yes I am prepared to stand by that statement...
We got more to do tomorrow afternoon, but I have had a massive smile on my face since we came up with the idea.
I HAVE MISSED YOU GAIS SO MUCH! I HAVE EVEN WORN MY MFX GFTO MY OFFICE SHIRT AS A WORK UNDERSHIRT!
SHOW NAO PLZ?!

MFX69 - The IMPACT Edition is up!!

Thanks for listening and enjoy the show.
I've just somewhat belatedly remembered you talking about the 'Chris Daniels/Samoa Joe dancing' GIF in the show (good job as per usual btw). And realized you probably don't know that it was actually taken from this...
Hand that Feeds Video ft. Christy Hemme, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christy Hemme's rack, Christopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, Eric Young & Christy Hemme's ass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjyJ46rL0Oc#)
I can't remember why this was made (I think it was someone in production's entry to a contest or something?) but... Christy Hemme in not a lot doesn't need a reason.

Cheers.
Ahh the comedy timing for the Raw edition is brilliant! Ryback has become my favourite character and Duckman talking to all the characters is brilliant. It sounds like you've rehearsed it for hours and hours.
Thanks Rob! It's all 100% improvised and I think that's what makes it, I just have to react off the cuff to Ian's general insanity.
There's a ton more of that on the IMPACT show this week. Including a turn to the darkside by Jeff Hardy - I was worried for my safety.
Any more feedback, comments, topics, questions would be really welcome. Just leave 'em here or email us - mfx.show@gmail.com
Cheers,
Duckman
I haven't listened to all of the show yet (I got up to the 2 hour mark last night before i realized it was midnight and I had to be up in 6 hours) but the beginning was friggin hilarious. Christmas AIDS and the Trumps brothers vs Old people were definite highlights.
Edit: I forgot about family fortunes. That was also good stuff.
Also digging Rogue Referee and his anti-whatever-ya-got attitude.
And was it really Sam Shaw? or was it the REAL Gail Kim, going undercover to get her identity back from the Polar Bear that stole it, and her husband? This sounds like a question only Hunch can answer!
Great show as per guys. And it's nice to hear the TNA part of the show with some positivity in it once again
MFX70 - The RAW Edition is up!!
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in WWE and life in general. On MFX70 – The RAW Edition this week:
It's all about shrooms, business deals, WWE networks, Christmas aids and tons of other ridiculous nonsense that ONLY MFX can bring. There's also some wrestling talk somewhere.
Then it's on to the RAW review. RAW was another 2 hours and 40 minutes of rubbish, with a red hot last 20 minutes. We cover The Slammy Awards and even hand out a few of our own. Oh and Sir Ian meets the No DQ.com forums.
Another rocking show for you folks. As always, thanks for listening and get excited because the MFX Xmas Special will be dropping next week!!
Enjoy the show.

Heya all, I can't really say I've been really active on the MFX scene this year, and I haven't really been watching wrestling due to my work schedule and not really wanting to waste time downloading crap wrestling shows, but I do have to say that I have listened to every MFX either the day they came out or the day after and I have been entertained without fail. I can't believe it's already been a year since Xmas of last year, and 70 episodes of the podcast is amazing.
So with all that being said I just want to say thank you to both of you bastards for doing what you do and entertaining us...because the gods know our wrestling programs don't anymore.
PS, I won't watch Total Diva's and you can't make me.
PPS, And here is to another great year for MFX.
MFX71 - The IMPACT Edition is up!!

nice really need some MFX brand laughs, had a shit day at work last night as I got stuck working with three idiots who never got past the whole high school mentally and were getting drunk on the fucking job and driving the damn company vehicle in shitty ass ice covered roads(not to mention they dragged their feet in a attempt to milk overtime so we didn't get done till 3 hours AFTER we were supposed too) none the less and had to drive home(a 25.5 mile drive) in that shit to boot and the roads didn't get any better today, ended up sliding around five times trying to get to work before I said fuck it and called in since I was going to have to work with those three rejects yet again tonight. So yeah I need some funny so thankfully you and Ian are there to brining it.

Hey folks,
First MFX show of 2014 will be up on Sunday.
We need your input.
In particular any feedback to the Xmas shows and the Xmas skit - we put a fuck ton of a work into all three shows and would appreciate your comments on them and in particular the Xmas skit.
As it'll be the TNA show we're also looking for subjects to discuss before we review IMPACT. I'm thinking the main ones are AJ leaving, Magnus becoming World Champion and the upcoming UK tour and maybe some predictions for TNA in 2014 (please don't say go out of business, that joke is older than time).
If you've got thoughts, comments, bitching etc, on these topics, or anything TNA related, let us know. Either here, or via email - mfx.show@gmail.com
We're looking to make more strides with MFX in 2014 and we can't do it without your support, feedback and input.
Show records Sunday midday UK time, be sure to be involved in the 1st MFX show of 2014.
Thanks,
Duckman
Show is recording tomorrow folks.
Get involved with MFX! We're not asking for blood...yet.
Any thoughts on our Xmas shows? What about TNA and their current position in the wrestling world. Any thoughts on AJ leaving or Jeff Jarrett going? What about Magnus as TNA Champion?
Please don't just ignore us and the podcast. We make it for you guys to enjoy, even if I reckon about 5 of you actually listen to us regularly!
Anyway, enough minor venting of frustration . If you'd like to support and help MFX send us an email or something here or on Facebook.
Thanks
Duckman
MFX72 – The IMPACT Edition is up!!
Happy New Year MFX Galaxy! Hopefully you've all had an awesome Christmas and New Year. MFX is back with the first show of 2014. So join Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in TNA and life in general. On the show this week...
Duckman and Sir Ian discuss their Christmas break, movies they loved and hated and what their favourite presents were. They discuss annoying new year resolutions. Duckman shares another scary story from his brother, which leads to loads of chat about spirits, ghosts and more! There's feedback and emails from the MFX Galaxy which leads to discussions about AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett leaving TNA.
The show is wrapped up with a classic MFX review of IMPACT. There's talk about the never ending feuds in TNA. The question of bringing more reality into TNA's shows is also covered. Duckman comes up with a new nickname for Bully Ray. Plus Brick Hogan returns with her first Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award of the year. A fun way to kick off the new year with MFX we're sure you'll agree.
Thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

Big news for the podcast. Please like the post and leave a comment it would mean a lot to us and costs you like 1 minute of your time.
It's Thursday, which can only mean one thing – it's time for MFX72 The RAW Edition!! That's right people MFX is back for another slice of NSFW, side splittingly funny, occasionally insightful, wrestling podcasting malarkey. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in WWE and life in general. On the show this week...
Sir Ian is in crisis. He thought he was old but according to a soon to be published article on him in a trade magazine, he's 'relatively young.' This upsets Sir Ian greatly and amuses Duckman no end.
That aside, there's a massive announcement of a new partnership between MFX and our buddies at Single Leg Takedown Wrestling. Exciting times ahead and we couldn't be more proud and pleased to be forming a partnership with such a great site.
The excitement continues with some news of a UK based wrestling film project Rhumble Rama. This movie is going to be a focal point of MFX this year and the story behind how it has come to be made is fascinating and a lesson to us all – chase your dreams people!
Unfortunately the great and interesting movie vibe can't be maintained as the lads review Randy Orton's latest turkey, 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded. You'll be please to know the movie gets the full MFX treatment.
The show is wrapped up this week with a really fun review of a really fun edition of Old School Monday Night Raw. Every segment and match is covered as only MFX can.
Thanks for listening and if you're listening for the first time through SLTD Wrestling, welcome to the MFX Galaxy!
Be sure to get involved in future shows through all the usual channels. Oh and BUY SOME MERCH!

1. Can Gunner's MFX nickname be changed to 'Mr Non-Entity' since nobody cares about him?
2. Since Gunner is apparently a face and James Storm is apparently a heel - what are the odds of James Storm finally getting some career rehabilitation and 'Bobby Roode-ing' him out of the FoF World Title Shot briefcase?
MFX73 The Impact Edition is up!!
The bleak days of January are relentless and grey. Thankfully, MFX73 IMPACT Edition is here to warm your soul and tickle your funny bone. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in TNA and life in general.
On the show this week...
They kick the show off with more complaining about horrible new year diets – even Duckman has jumped on the healthy living bandwagon. The lads quiz Ryback about his latest Twitter meltdown and try to get to the truth of what is happening to the Big Guy. They take a look at two new articles on Single Leg Takedown Wrestling, as well as discuss your feedback to last week's shows. There's TNA questions from you guys, plus a chat about Jesse Sorensen's recent shoot interview with Highspots and Dixie Carter's actions towards him.
Then it's on to the IMPACT review for this week. This is MFX's Randy Newman tribute episode. Duckman and Sir Ian try to use the song, 'You've Got a Friend In Me' in nearly every segment. Well, they had to do something to amuse themselves while reviewing this terrible, terrible show. Dixie Carter owns the world, TNA has no babyfaces of worth and AJ Styles vs. Magnus is so overbooked and dumb, even Vince Russo would blush. A poor show but a tremendous review!
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved in future shows through all the usual channels.
http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=327 (http://www.marksforxcellence.com/?p=327)
I've got rid of the WWE and TNA feedback boards. We'll just keep everything related to MFX in this thread.
With that said, would love to get some feedback on the IMPACT show this week.
Remember to check out the new Facebook discussion group for the show, which you can find here:

What's better than Friday? Nothing, right? Wrong! How about Friday with the added awesomeness of MFX? That's right, MFX73 The RAW Edition is here! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in WWE and life in general.
On the show this week...
A huge opening to the show with chat about clowns, illness, the Golden Globes, Sir Ian gives himself a new nickname, the WWE Network is covered in detail. So is Warrior going into the Hall of Fame and all your feedback and so much more. There's more content and laughs in these 90 minutes than most other wrestling podcasts can manage in a lifetime.
Then it's onto the RAW review. Boring Kane is boring. John Cena's Dad gets punched. Daniel Bryan is awesome but WWE's storytelling continues to make no sense. Another really fun MFX review of the longest running episodic TV show about dudes in pants pretending to fight.
As always, thanks for listening to the show and don't forget to get involved in future shows through all the usual channels.

Oh you lucky people, look how early the show has been posted! That's right folks, it's time for MFX 74 The IMPACT Edition. Join Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in TNA and life in general.
On the show this week...
Sir Ian's new gimmick taken from The Wolf of Wall Street gathers pace as Ian 'Wolfie' Trumps sets out his plans for world domination. You people have no idea what you have started with this. There's all your feedback discussed, which includes updates on the lad's new year diets and another scary ghost story from Duckman's brother. Plus there's an update on the legal situation regarding Hulk Hogan's naughty home movie. There's even time to talk about TNA and a couple of recent releases from the company.
Then it's onto a review of TNA's Genesis show, which was just an edition of IMPACT with a different name. This was a terrible show. Honestly, it's tough to find anything redeeming about the show. So lacking in logic and interesting storylines and once again a big star in TNA's contract is expiring and it's being made into a storyline. Tell us something we don't know! Anyway, the review is a lot of fun as the lads try to make sense of what they were watching. They probably fail to do so but at least there's a ton of laughs to be had!
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved in future shows through all the usual channels.

Ok folks, we're still looking for your feedback to the MFX74 IMPACT show.
Also, if you've got any feedback on WWE and RAW, Royal Rumble etc, we'd appreciate if you could let us know.
Either leave something here, in our Facebook discussion group, or send us an email to mfx.show@gmail.com

MFX is always better when you guys interact and contribute, so we'd appreciate to hear from you.

I still haven't managed to get through a full episode of Raw in one sitting. The whole show is getting tedious... But for some reason every week I force myself to watch it.
We're recording the RAW review show tonight, 7pm UK time.
So there's still plenty of time to get your emails etc sent in. We're looking for feedback to previous shows, RAW thoughts, Royal Rumble thoughts/predictions and anything else you'd like to contribute to the show.
Just leave a post here or send us an email to mfx.show@gmail.com

This is
way off topic. But I'm reading some leaked Wal-Mart management anti-union scripts. And for some reason, I'm reading them in Boring Kane and Brick Hogan voices.
QuoteFemale Associate: Hey I have a quick question for you
Male Associate: Sure
Female Associate: Hey I was talking to one of the guys in my area and they told me that we could get an automatic increase in pay if we got a union in the store. Is that true?
Male Associate: Hmm, well that's a good question LaTonya, and thanks for asking, but you know our company doesn't feel that associates should have to spend their hard earned money to have someone represent them and neither do I. But to answer your question, through the collective bargaining process, there's no telling what they will end up with. They can end up with more, the same or even less.
Female Associate: Hmm you gave me a lot to think about I appreciate it. Thank you
Male Associate: You're welcome
Quote
Female Associate: Hey Steve, I've been thinking, if a union were to get in to Walmart, things really would not be that bad.
Steve: Here's the thing about unions Jenny, there really are no guarantees. I remember when I was a kid my dad was part of the auto workers and they went on strike for 6 months and he had to walk a picket line that whole time. I would hate to see that happen to anybody here in our club.
Female Associate: Wow thank you Steve
Steve: You bet!!
Quote
First Female Associate: I'm just not really sure about all this union stuff, what would you do Susan?
Susan: Well thank you for asking, and you know Walmart doesn't feel like you need a union to speak for you and neither do I. I feel like we work well together and a union would only hinder our ability to communicate with one another. I like the Walmart Open Door Policy where we can communicate openly with our associates, kind of like we are doing right now.
First Female Associate: That's true we can, it's kind of nice to be able to do that.
Susan: Yeah
Happy Thursday everyone! It's time for another shot of tremendous wrestling related podcasting. That's right, MFX74 the RAW Edition is here! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in WWE and life in general.
On the show this week...
Duckman decides to host the show after drinking a bottle of red wine and somehow everything doesn't fall apart. There's chat about Sir Ian meeting an old colleague, riots outside a pound saver shop, all your feedback is discussed which includes the award of a new 'friend of the show' nickname, WWE Hall of Fame chat, an in-depth discussion about ECW's TV show which will be appearing on the WWE Network and the lads enjoy the potential of a Jake Roberts vs. Ultimate Warrior twitter war.
Then it's on to the RAW review for this week. It's the go-home show for the Royal Rumble and the lads enjoyed the show a lot. Batista makes his return, Brock Lesnar does everything he can to make Big Show look credible, everyone seems really aggressive and even the slightly rubbish end wasn't that bad. Although Sir Ian being sexually intimidated by Stephanie McMahon does distract him a lot during the show. Another fun RAW review as only MFX can do.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved in future shows through all the usual channels.

The mystery TNA investor signs "The Wolves" as his first team?
It's Wolfie isn't it.
Two words.
"Sex gills."
I lost my shit on the subway when I heard that line.
Ah yes, Batista and his sex gills. Fuck knows where that came from (probably the red wine) but I'm glad it hit your funny bone full on!
We guys know we live for your feedback (and ego stroking praise) so if you've got some for this show, or indeed the IMPACT show we posted earlier in the week, we'd love to hear from you.
Cheers!
I'm almost tempted not to ask...about what did you guys think of the Royal Rumble?
Cheers,

I have no words.

Rod Stewart - I don't wanna talk about it (W/lyrics) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azcy9_F0DCE#)
Alright, since I watch maybe 4 ppvs a year (Summerslam, TLC/Chamber, Rumble, Mania) I was excited to catch the rumble last night. A bunch of my buddies who all havent been into wrestling since the attitude era watched it. Now pre-show we watched the last Raw before the Rumble to try and grasp some of the storylines going into this. Bryan/Wyatt, Show/Lesnar we got, Orton/Cena looked like a lame attempt to water down an attitude era like angle, no one was feeling it.
So, Rumble time.
Bryan/Wyatt was insane, and even in January has a chance to get match of the year. There was 6 of us, and 4 had no idea what a performer Bryan was, and by the end of the match they had nothing else but to say that he was a good wrestler, and that Wyatt has a crazy gimmick and can work a good match. My thoughts exactly. I think Wyatt will be a guy who will perform up to his opponent, so give him a Bryan/Punk/Ziggler worker, hell have classics, give him a Cena/Orton he'll look unimpressive. 5/5 This match got the show off on the right foot, and we all thought shit, PPV of the year here if this is the beginning and we still get Lesnar and the rumble right?
Lesnar/Big Show, what a fucking let down. Honestly, they couldnt have done this all at a Raw or something? This had weekly show bit covered all over it, not for the arguably the second biggest PPV of the year. It wasnt that bad, but any time Lesnar is in the ring ON A PPV, he shouldnt kill a crowd off. They had all the momentum from Bryan/Wyatt, and if you woulda let them have an old school Show/Lesnar match, they could have kept the crowd up to give Cena/Orton a chance....but that didnt happen. The match made its point, it helped Lesnars character a bit, but definitely wreaked of a Raw segement where behind the scene, Show got arrested and you needed to get him off the camera for a while.....2.5/5
Cena/Orton....yeah, everyone knew this was gonna suck....and it sucked. Predictable, crowd reaction was the only exciting thing about this. A shame, because say if Bryan was getting a push, he actually could have GOOD matches with Orton, and if you had to....Bryan could be putting Orton over big time if he was in that picture. But yeah, this match was very bad, looked like the other 20 Orton/Cena PPV matches that we've seen over the last 3 years. 2/5
RUMBLE TIME!
Im gonna start out by saying that midget bull was the biggest pop at my house for this match. No idea who or what he is, but hes fucking sick. Didnt mind Nash being there either, he got a decent pop....not as big as last yr when he came back as Diesel, but man....HHH's backstage pull is crazy...all his buddies getting pushed. We all popped when JBL had to go....didn't know he was gonna do THAT. Was hoping for a closeline from hell or something. I called it after the number got into the 20s that Bryan wasn't going to be in the rumble....if he was he'd need a low number to build some adversity.....you're not gonna hand the biggest underdog a favorable number in the match.
Reigns looked good, Batista looked blown up....and sick MMA gear, Lesnar isnt that gimmick or anything....and he had one fight against a massively out of shape Hawaiian dude.....ugh. Anyways, when Rey came out at 30 and got all the Boos I liked it....i HATE Mysterio so I enjoyed that, but fuck. No Bryan.....unless they can spin their way out of this on RAW, I think their going to have a road filled with every other crowd on the 'Road to Wrestlemania' booing the shit and runing segments with YES and DANIEL BRYAN chants.....and rightfully so. Rumble gets a 2/5
to quote the great Jay Sherman from the Critic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdDMrncAy4U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdDMrncAy4U)
seriously the show outside of Wyatt vs Bryan was painful, I rather watch The Room, Manos The Hands of Fate, and every WWE film for 48 hours straight with the only breaks being forced to sit through 20 minutes of Chyna's porn films then sit through that abomination of a PPV.
Honestly this PPV makes you wonder what they were thinking, i mean if your going to try and get more money for your shows and launch a new network that your asking people to pay for then why go against what you know people want? I mean instead of doing what they know fan's want to see like say at least having Daniel Bryan the most over person they have right now in the Rumble, constantly putting on matches that no one cares for like Cena Vs Orton and then have a guy who isn't that over anymore win the whole thing resulting in him getting such a shit reaction that he actually starting getting confrontational with fans and then flipped them off, instead they are going to ignore them the people who's money there wanting to buy their PPV's, get the merchandise, pay for their new Network, tune into their shows so they can get the same or more money for the broadcasting rights and all that and instead tell them who they should want and then wonder why things are not going well.
seriously I didn't pay a dime for the show and I still felt ripped off
There is just so much I want to say about this and the state of WWE in general but I can't think straight thanks to having to get up at 3:30 in the morning on sunday for work which was a nightmare in of itself since it was a mess(what can I say I work with morons) and then sitting down to watch this mess and being reminded why I stopped watching "mainstream" wrestling again just put me in a nice state of being exhausted and just pissed off that is making it hard to think straight(more so due to the said exhaustion)
We know how it is - you're all depressed after the Royal Rumble. It's the end of the world as you know it. It's time to give up on wrestling forever. Come on, you know you say that after every terrible WWE or TNA PPV. Here's something that'll cheer you up – it's time for your first slice of MFX goodness of the week, it's time for MFX75 IMPACT Edition. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian as they traverse the week in TNA and life in general.
On the show this week...
The usual random chatter for the opening part of the show is all about Duckman's new celebrity crush, Sir Ian watches Benefits Street (which ends up with another MFX discussion about the welfare state in the UK), plus there's all your feedback to last week's show, which is highlighted by Drunk Goldferg. The opening part of the show is wrapped up with tons of TNA related chat including: rumours of Vince Russo's return to TNA, a recent AJ Styles interview and Sir Ian tries to rally the MFX Galaxy to send Duckman to TNA's Lockdown PPV.
Then it's on to a review of Genesis part 2. Logic holes abound, Rockstar Spud rocks, Samoa Joe gets his aggression back and we all say a sad and incredibly overbooked goodbye to Sting. Plus the lads get into an in-depth and somewhat interesting (we only said somewhat) discussion on the over reliance of authority figures in wrestling. It's another fun MFX review of a terrible TNA show.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

Bray/Bryan, wow. Really great match, I think both guys came out looking great, we got to see Bray the way they're trying to portray him, a ruthless, crazed man. He's got that unorthodox offense that fits such a character. They need to have the shotgun mics on all the time when he's in, plain simple. I disagree with Cory's assessment of Bray, he's a good worker, period (as is Cena, he had a great match with Khali...). I was watching the event with some friends that are more mark than smark and they were going "I don't even care who wins, Bray is great" and that Sister Abigail into the barricade, holy crap.
I do agree with Cory on Brock and Show, what they did could have been done on RAW. This is the second time Brock has been in a match that has killed a crowd but I can't blame him nor Show nor WWE, DB and Bray stole the whole event from the get-go.
"RANDY'S AVERAGE!" That's what i heard from the crowd, not Savage. Which I think Randy got too. Not their worst match, but I saw this coming, each of them stealing the others finishers, they had it, it was the only thing they haven't done. I didn't see Bray getting involved, figured he'd do it on RAW some how at risk of over exposing Bray in the night, but was happy to see.
The rumble itself wasn't bad. I didn't expect to see DB, and apparently, I was the only one who didn't. The man had a concussion two weeks prior and even if he was going to be #30, it's a risk pulling double duty (Which no one did at all). Oh and seeing how they probably were after Batista to come back since the Authority began, I figured headlining mania would be a pre-req of his.
I loved the Kofi stuff, loved the short lived Wyatt Fam/Shield staredown. I loved the rumble match itself. I was entertained, maybe if I was like every other fan who expected a concussed man to pull double duty when no one else had done so that night, I may have been upset, but I wasn't. I enjoyed what they gave me, even if it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I've been preaching patience with DB for awhile, why? Because the more they don't give us DB, the more heat The Authority has. It's smart booking imo.
And I know you didn't ask for it, but EC will be interesting, Brock is next in line apparently, but there's only one title. My bet, and I was thinking this on Saturday, that Sheamus/DB match is just dirtsheet filler. Randy vs Batista is practically heel vs heel because Batista will turn the fans against him because he's gonna be himself, which is a douche. They've gotta get DB in there somehow.
The Rhodes brothers pulled double duty...
I guess it doesn't matter when you're only on the pre-show

nice more MFX goodness to wash the awful taste of WWEtardedness out of my mouth, I wonder if Brad Maddox ever does the same when he needs to get the taste of HHH out of his mouth? why did I even type that, good lord I need sleep, but anyway in my defense I actually had stopped watching wrestling a month after Summer Slam and the rumble was the first thing I watched mainstream wise anyway since I went cold turkey, tried the patch but it didn't work, and only because my buddy Mike and his wife ordered it and had a get together with the whole crew and my wife insisted we go since it's been ages since we(the missus and I along with the whole crew) all hung out.
still felt ripped off though, but hey if people need help quitting wrestling then maybe they should try DDP yoga I mean look what it did for Jake.
I didn't watch much, but my favorite part of last night's "Raw?" The opening segment, watching Seth Rollins wipe the fuck out when he hopped the barricade during the Shield's entrance. Poor guy. He looked like the physical manifestation of "Benefits Street."

Oh, and that's what makes it funny. The guy's like a cat 99.9% of the time, so I'm thinking there was water or something on the floor -- especially if you see the velocity at which we fell.
Didn't Roman Reigns take a header a few weeks ago during their entrance?
I haven't seen RAW yet but I'll be keeping an eye out for this.
Also, any more feedback on the show (MFX, Rumble, RAW) is more than welcome. We'll be recording the RAW show on Thursday and hopefully posting it Thurs night or maybe Friday (depending on schedules).

On the show this week...
Guess what we're talking about? Yep – CM Punk taking his ball and going home. Plus there's some chat about WWE's new TV deal with Sky, KENTA at the WWE performance centre and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts going into the hall of fame.
We don't review the Royal Rumble in detail because there's so many comments from you guys and so many avenues of discussion coming off the controversial PPV. We cover all the issues with Daniel Bryan, unrealistic expectations from fans regarding the Rumble match and so much more.
Then it's on to the RAW with a full MFX review. The show was quite fun, with a good main event and Brock Lesnar was as scary as usual. Plus we pitch tons of new shows for the WWE Network, all of which should instantly be made.
It's a long show this week but there's just SO much great stuff to talk about in what has been one of the most interesting and weird weeks in WWE in a while.

On the show this week...
Duckman's nephew has been staying with him this weekend, which means Duckman has been beaten black and blue. Sir Ian preaches some advice about how to deal with people who don't like you. They discuss the sad news of the death of one of their favourite actors, Philip Seymour Hoffman. There's all your feedback and emails sliced and diced in an MFX style. Plus the lads discuss some TNA news including a hook up with Wrestle-1 in Japan, a recent Kurt Angle interview and tons more.
Then they wrap the show up with a review of IMPACT from Glasgow. A few production snafus aside this was a fun edition of IMPACT, in front of a large, hot crowd of crazy Glaswegians. Gunner gives out obvious nicknames, JB convinces them to vote 'yes' on Scottish independence, TNA's Joey Graphics drops the ball and for some reason, the people of Glasgow like Mr Anderson...go figure. The lads have a lot of fun with that and the show in general.
Another cracking edition of MFX that'll brighten your week and change your life forever. Ok, maybe it won't change your life, but it'll make you giggle...lots!

On the show this week...
The lads kick the show off with stories of Sir Ian meeting an important German. Duckman mentions an equality and diversity training course he has to go to next week for his work. This leads to challenges from Sir Ian, horror stories of terrible training courses, tons of chat about race and diversity and a lot of laughs. There's all your feedback discussed, the lads answer a question about the current state of commentary in WWE, plus a much requested character makes a reappearance and annoys Duckman and Sir Ian no end.
Then it's on the RAW review. As usual the lads wander off down a few random tangents including the WWE Network, the future of Titles in WWE and what they could do with them to make them matter again, Sir Ian's hatred of Christian comes to the fore and Bootista stars in a new movie that ends in hilarity. Of course the show is reviewed, but not a great deal happened on RAW this week bar some fun with The Shield and The Wyatts and a great match between Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan.

Plenty of laughs to be had as Boring Kane high-jacks the show and books his version of Wrestlemania, Drew McIntyre annoys the hell out of Duckman and the WWE Performance Centre takes a turn to the dark side.

As usual the IMPACT review wraps up the show for another week. You'd expect The Night of Gunner to be the worst thing MFX could possibly review, turns out it wasn't actually that bad.

The IMPACT review wraps the show up. The editing of this show caused a rip in the space time continuum, which leaves the lads dazed, confused and giggling like school girls. James Storm and Gunner do not make a good singing duet, EC3's evil twin makes an appearance, a German has sore bones and is beaten up by a Samoan, and there's more references to movies than on IMDB.

...but now I have them as background audio while I do shit, anyways. My interest in wrestling is very abysmal to say the least. I only ever re-watch Raw segments if guys here give a positive review, I hardly ever understand the horrible feuds that go on at PPVs, and much like what Ian said on the first MFX I listened too (The Royal Rumble one) if you dont like it, dont watch it to show your frustration...so I've taken that approach. I LOVED NXT Arrival, Cesaro is my favorite wrestler atm....
anyways the point, for a dude like me whose interest in wrestling is at the most 5 PPV's a year and a handful of Raws, you guys keep me entertained and have an excellent show. Anytime theres a discussion that I can/want to hear more about you got a listen. Props Sam and Ian.

They wrap up the show with the review of RAW. There's Heyman promo greatness, Taker high on 'Just for Men' hair dye, more loaded underpants, Hogan teaches Cena a few lessons and of course Raw was occupied. A fun show and a really fun review.

Total Divas is back and the lads are far too excited by this. Is JBL behind the Twitter account Cranky Vince? Probably not, but the lads have a lot of fun working out if he could be. All your feedback and comments are covered and they send the lads off down many random and entertaining tangents. There's even some funny news involving Hulk Hogan and a boot thief.
They wrap the show up with the usual RAW review. Gameboy unleashes hell on HHH, Boring Kane is boring, the lads marvel at WWE's new way of booking to marks, trolling smarks and working everyone at the same time, plus Michael Cole's bizarre childhood is relived. There's loads of the usual MFX fun and games in this review and once again Duckman becomes the prey as Brick Hogan turns up the heat.

Guys we dont ask for much. Can you follow that link here on FB. Post about how cool our show is generally, best podcast on wrestling yadda yadda and then say our review of ICW was really awesome. If your American maybe something bout how it made you wanna find out more about ICW.
Hey folks,
Just to let you know that unfortunately we won't be posting any shows this week.
I'm dying with one of the nastiest ear infections I've ever had. I'm off work all week and today is the first day I've been able to get out of bed since Friday. I'm still totally deaf and in a lot of pain - can't put headphones on or actually sit up for any length of time, so no podcasting this week I'm afraid.
Thankfully I'm getting a bit better, have strong ass antibiotics and painkillers, and should be back to 100% by next week.
Our plan is to do one show next week, which will be our big WrestleMania 30 preview show and that'll be posted at some point towards the end of next week.
The following week will be one show as well, which will be our big WrestleMania 30 and RAW review show.
So no TNA shows for a couple of weeks. Sorry to anyone out there (all three of you) who like TNA but with illness, work schedules and also WrestleMania, something needs to do fall and TNA drew the short straw.
We should, hopefully, be back to regular schedule after WM but we'll keep you posted on that.
Cheers,
Duckman
Rejoice MFX Galaxy – that's right bitches, we're baaack!
Duckman is fully recovered from his life threatening illness. Honest, he wasn't just spending the week in bed with Brick Hogan ala John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Although Brick's beard is as mighty as Lennon's was back then. And Duckman was protesting a lot, mainly protesting that she needed to let him go, but Brick is nothing if not ridiculously strong and good with knots.
Anyway, we're back with one show this week – our HUGE Wrestlemania 30 Preview Show. The show is recording on Tuesday 1st April at 8:30pm UK time. That's tomorrow and no, that isn't an April fool.
We're looking for you to get in touch with your thoughts on Wrestlemania 30. A few lines on the build up for the show, which matches you're looking forward to, which ones you aren't. Any predictions or comments are also welcome.
Basically if you've got something to say about Wrestlemania 30 and you want to share it with the MFX Galaxy, then now is your chance.
Leave your comments here, or drop us an email to mfx.show@gmail.com and we'll include your comments on the show this week.
If you've got anything else you want to send in to the show, then by all means do that too.
MFX is back and we're bringing you the most entertaining, informative and downright fucking awesome wrestling podcast that you'll ever hear.
So don't delay, get in touch through the usual channels and be a part of our MASSIVE Wrestlemania 30 preview episode.
Cheers,
Duckman
The build-up has been amazing. I've not watched Raw in about 4 weeks.
Just to expand a little on what I said there. I find it quite funny how we're so programmed into thinking TV is shit that when you don't watch it for a while you don't think about missing good television, you just think "well, it probably won't last anyway". Even if what I'm missing is good, a part of me doubts it and is quite happy to miss it.
We're recording our WM30 preview show tonight folks.
We'd love to get your thoughts on the build to WM30, which matches you're looking forward to, which ones you aren't.
If you've got any other comments, topics, feedback etc, then you'll need to send it in sharpish.
Either here, or drop us an email at mfx.show@gmail.com
Don't leave us hanging here EFK, get involved!

I assume we use this thread now for Raw discussions.
Just watched Raw, as always an amazing crowd. I rarely watch Raw, but stayed up to catch the reply after work.
- Bryans opening celebration was nice. "You deserved it" chants were awesome....started off showing how awesome this crowd was going to be once again. HHH didnt ruin it, came off frustrated really well. 4.5/5
- Wyatts vs Team Shove down our throats was good for what it was. The crowd made it worth it getting behind the Wyatts. Brays finish was awesome....makes me wonder where they are taking this feud with him and Cena. 3.5/5
- Mixed tag match of randies. Clearly trying to get cheap post-mania pop for Fandango....match was crap. 0/5
- Heyman/Lesnar segment. Heyman is excellent as always, what a promo. The only thing this show lacked for me though was the lack of streak talk. Obviously it would have been a stretch for Taker to appear....but for how important this loss was....I don't know how they give Taker a proper sending off without him appearing last night. Bring him back in a few weeks and have the Sting thing or something....just would have been more impactful having him be involved last night, get a HUGE "Thank you Taker" pop and take the next step in his career. Still....phenomenal mic work from Heyman. 4/5
- Orton/Batista vs Usos - Seemed pointless....just canning the champs to put over an angle that may or may not ever fully pan out. Made the champs look like jobbers....not a good move in the direction of trying to make the tag team division legit again. 2/5
- RVD vs Sandow - Always nice to see RVD back....this was an ideal crowd for him to return too....did some nice spots and got the win. RVD is always an exciting mid-carder, nice to have him back. Didnt Sandow win the money in the bank last year? Yikes....maybe a RVD feud or something can give him some substance again. 3/5
- Bad News Barrett vs Rey - I, like Ian, hate Mysterio....so anytime he jobs its awesome. I liked him in ECW/WCW when he was a cruser-weight and did crazy moves....but now hes like 230lbs and the 619 is the worst finisher of all time now that he eliminated the hurricarana pin....which was like 5 years ago. Add that everyone still remembers the Royal Rumble incident....fuck that guy. Barrett was over and I love his finisher...nice win crowd was awesome here. Match didnt make much sense however. 3/5
- Rusev vs Zack Ryder - Squad match....Rusev is a good worker....really athletic...but foreign gimmicks always plateu fairly quickly and unless he changes it up he'll never get past the IC Title range....do they even still have that belt? I fear Rusev will end up like that Sylvester Terkay guy or whatever a bunch of years back...but im interested to see him get put in a real feud...maybe him and Big E would be good. 2.5/5
- Warrior segment. Go away. Didnt grow up in that era so it doesnt hit the same nostalgia that Hall/Jake the Snake hit....but seriously...they should have judged that when Hall got the biggest pop at the hall of fame, and Warrior was similar to Jake the Snake....that maybe they limit this freaks camera time. 0/5
- AJ vs Paige. I really liked that Paige girls match on the NXT PPV....a great worker...would actually put on a good match with someone like Natalia who can too wrestle....but was a good surprise. Kinda botched that finish and I remember she had an insane submission move from the NXT PPV that she could have used....but very nice suprrise...crowd was really into it. 3.5/5
- Cesaro Trophy Presentation - Highlight of the show. When he said he wasnt a Colter guy I was like fuck. Cesaro is my favourite wrestler at the moment....I think if they gave him a better finisher which is is more capable of doing (cant picture him hitting the nutralizer at a PPV to win the HW belt....give him that sick pop-up uppercut...looks 10x better and impactful)...but he needs a voice. His mic work will hold him back and I was like after getting this push your gonna try and make him go solo....then boom, Heyman. That was fucking perfect. Can't wait to see the future with Cesaro. Hes now getting over with most crowds and like Bryan can have a good match with anybody...plus has a bit of that bodybuilder build. He was turning face....but with Heyman now can we assume he'll be staying heel? Uncertain about this...but I hope once the Authority angle dies down a Cesaro/Bryan feud is gonna be epic. 5/5
- HHH vs Bryan - "3MB" chants to help Bryan was good shit...but like the idea of Evolution vs The Shield....but I think HHH vs Bryan has run its course....I would have liked HHH to stick maybe Lesnar on Bryan to build off the ending of the Streak momentum....but of course he needs to stroke his ego and be in the middle of everything. Lesnar needs to be capitalized and put into a big feud (not sure with the dates or his schedule if it has changed or not)....but Evolution/Sheild works for me. 3.5/5
Ok troops, here's the post-WrestleMania MFX update.
First off I hope everyone who watched WM30 had as great a time watching the show as I did. To those of you who didn't watch it – haha, you missed out on a fucking tremendous WWE PPV with at least three historic moments and a shit load of great wrestling.
Anyway, I've just got back from my brother's about ten minutes ago and Ian is away for work until tomorrow evening. Here's our plan:
We're going to record the first half of the show on Thursday at 8pm UK time. That'll cover our usual random chat, WWE HOF Chat,WM30 review, WWE Network numbers chat and thoughts on the passing of the Ultimate Warrior.
Friday at 8pm UK time we'll be recording our RAW review.
I know there's tons of threads and different chat going about all the stuff that's happened over the last few days. I'm too important (lazy) to go back through them all, so if you'd like to contribute to MFX this week, can you leave the following feedback in this thread:
WM30 – mark out of ten with best match/worst match.
Thoughts on The Streak Ending.
Thoughts on HOF
Thoughts on Warrior passing.
Or if you'd prefer to keep your thoughts for the show, send us an email to mfx.show@gmail.com
Remember, we're not looking for essays here because we want get as much feedback from you guys as possible. So please keep the feedback to a few lines, otherwise I need to start cutting shit out and I hate doing that.
Hope to hear from you guys on what has been the biggest and most newsworthy week in WWE for years.
Cheers,
Duckman
On the Streak ending: Haven't seen Mania or the match, so can't comment on that. My initial thought was it was a mistake and I kinda still feel that way. If Lesnar was going to beat the streak then he should've been undefeated until that point for one thing. For another the streak is one of those things that I don't think should have ended, mostly because I'm a crotchety old bastard who fears change.
That being said, Brock's a legit monster and, provided they book him strong after this, with no BS losses, should make whichever member of the roster they choose to finally end his rampage into a bonafide star in their own right. He also has enough legit badass credentials and, of course, Paul Heyman to blunt a lot of the smark resentment, and his being booked as a perma-heel means that the casuals would boo him anyway. And of course, at least he's not John Cena, who was the person most of us would have picked as most likely to be the 'streak ender', which spares us from another round of verbal blowjobs and, of course, the inevitable riot that would have ahppened had he won.
On Warrior:
This one hurts a lot more than I thought it would, but then again Warrior was a HUGE part of my childhood. Matter of fact, Warrior was the first wrestler I was ever a fan of, probably before I even fully knew what wrestling was as I think my first exposure to him was the old Hasbro action figure (with press slam arms action!). I've since grown up to appreciate things like 'work rate' and 'being able to cut a coherent promo' and me actually knowing what wrestling is, but back then Warrior was the coolest thing in the world to little 8 year-old me, with the face-paint and the tassles and all the craziness. I'd have probably gotten into wrestling anyway, what with the wrestling zombies and skull-face-painted voodoo priests and the like running about, but he's still a huge reason that I did.
HOF: Thought it may have been one of the better ones despite Mr. T and Lita's pacing "So you know haha, you know like aha, and yeah" that sort of stuff. Roberts had maybe the greatest speech I can remember. Hall's was just as good as was Warriors. I could have done without Hornswoggle and Torito, but without them, we would have gone through another minute of Mr. T talking about his mama. Loved Kane's story about Bearer, loved his son's impression and Taker making an appearance made for one of the better moments of the night.
WM30: The best part about this event, it was WWE finally saying "we need to move forward". From the Shield quick win over Outlaws/Kane, to Cesaro eliminating the odds on favorite Big Show, to the streak ending. It was, to me, WWE saying, there's more to us than the past and we now know that. The way Mania started, that's how it should have started. Three legends, three of the most well known, most recognizable wrestlers hyping up the show.
I thought unlike WM29, the pacing of the show was far better, the matches people cared about were put in the right spots. The divas match brought the crowd down, but didn't bring the show down. Stars of the night: Bryan, Bray, Cena, and Stephanie McMahon. I mean those legs.......anyways. The first three looked amazing in the ring. Cena's selling of his inner turmoil didn't look forced, he looked like for the first time in a long time, he was having fun in the ring. Stephanie did a great job ringside in the opener, imo. Constantly berating DB when he was getting beat down.
Only thing I wish we would have seen had nothing to do with any thing in-ring. Earlier that day, I was watching No Way Out 2005 on the network and there was a backstage segment that ran around 3 or 4 minutes where Eddie Guerrero talked to Cena before his match against Angle, where the winner would go on to face the champ at WM21. Eddie talked about how main eventing WM wasn't something to just be like "cool. I'm down" it's something that guys work so hard for and really sold how important it was someone's career not to take it lightly. What would have been nice to see added to DB's night is the trio (Hogan, Austin, Rock) do that to him as he's about to take on HHH or before the triple threat match.
On the ending of the streak: I admit, I like everyone else that didn't have some insider info was surprised that it ended. I am not going to lie when it happened I just sat there staring at the screen not sure how to process it till they showed 21-1 graphic. I wasn't upset by it just disappointed that it ended like it did, not because of who ended it but how it ended since the match overall was pretty weak. Had I known at that moment that taker suffered a server concussion early on in the match then I wouldn't of been so disappointed with the match and the outcome. But honestly I don't think there is anyone currently wrestling that could be the guy who can carry the responsibility of being the guy who ended the streak then Brock since him and his main mouthpiece Heyman can live with the venom filled hatred they get from fans which is a rare trait nowadays. Just hopefully WWE doesn't screw this up as Brock needs to be protected now and built as a serious threat or Taker doing the job at Mania and allowing Brock to end the 21 year long streak would of been meaningless.
As for the passing of The Ultimate Warrior, I was honestly shocked when I woke up and saw the news especially he seemed fine at the hall of fame, mania and this weeks RAW, sure he looked like his joints were bad and had trouble moving and got gassed simply shaking the ropes but fine for a former roid using pro wrestler in his 50's.
Sure he wasn't a great worker, has some shall we say "strong, almost fanatical right wing views" but he was still part of my youth and I will never forget the day I saw him end Hogan's second title reign at Wrestlemania 6 and I admit I had ended up becoming a Warrior mark and still have my old Ultimate Warrior(as well as my Macho man Randy Savage) wrestling buddy which were gifts from my godmother and I will admit his final appearance on this past monday's RAW brought a smile to my face and brought back warm memories of watching his matches on TV as a kid. So it was sad to hear of the man's sudden passing especially since he has two very young daughters and if his two girls are anything like mine then they are probably heart broken that their father is no long around.
Now on to the Hall of fame, It was good, especially Jake's speech which brought a tears to my eyes, though I didn't care for T's speech nor his overreactions over twitter after the ceremony and mania. Yeah I get that they told them to talk about moments that mattered to them and important moments in their career and all that but I don't think that they would have had a hour or more long speech about someone's mother in mind. Honestly you could easily talk about how much your mother mattered and how she made you the man you are without that needlessly long and chuckle inducing speech.

The final part of the show is the RAW review. Kane renovates Hornswoggle's loft, Ric Flair works in a prison library and John Cena tries to teach Josh 'Sonic' Matthews his secret sex ninja skills. All that contained within a full review of RAW and as always, MFX brings the funny.
Three poor shows, three poor crowds and somehow this show is full of giggles and high jinks – that's just how good MFX is. Plus there's even some constructive criticism and a few nuggets of insight scattered among the silly jokes and songs.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with future shows through all the channels. Oh and BUY SOME MERCH!

A jammed packed show for you this week folks. There's some WWE financial report chat. The lads review TNA Impact. Magnus' new friend Bram News Barnet arrives from the UK and takes over MFX forever. Despite them messing around a lot, the lads agree this was a decent episode of IMPACT, which makes a nice change.

There's great matches, rubbish cage matches, creepy kids, cheap Russian heat, JBL relives his college days and your World Champion runs away like a little wuss. All that and so much more!

Duckman and Sir Ian discuss the big news of the week in wrestling including Daniel Bryan's injury, Prince Devitt signing for WWE and the signing of WWE's new TV deal and subsequent share price crash. A share price crash that's so steep, Sir Ian decides to get on board and cash in! Duckman reports back from a really fun night at the WWE house show in Glasgow.
The IMPACT review stars Bram News Barnet again. He's not a fan of Willow. Or anything that isn't British. There's stupid heel turns and strippers in evening gowns and Eric young might have a sore neck. Not a great episode of IMPACT but plenty of laughs to be had in this review.
The lads wrap up the show with a review of Monday Night RAW. Again, a pretty poor show but loads of laughs as Ivan 'Drago' Rusev gets ready to destroy Apollo 'Big E' Langston – if he dies, he dies.

Sir Ian and Duckman discuss weird wrestling fans, the reaction of people who aren't wrestling fans when you tell them you are one, plus there's a lot of talk about WWE's stock price crash and other such fun.
The lads review IMPACT. Well, they say they review IMPACT, but in all honesty they just spend 50 minutes pitching new TV shows for Eric Young to front, they relive more of Bram's crazy life and world views and discover that James Storm's love for Gunner runs deeper than anyone knew.
The show is wrapped up as always with the RAW review. WWE are in London so it's sing-a-long with WWE music and catchphrases time! Loads of fun with this review, including Jerry Lawler and his racist taxi driver almost getting the whole show thrown off the air.

The lads turn their attention to the latest in an ever growing list of mass shootings in the US – which leads to a huge discussion about gun control and the culture of guns in America. They discuss the European election results and the state of politics in the UK in 2014. Plus there's sport chat, movies discussed and Sir Ian once again awards his Jar Jar Binks of the Week Award.
Normally MFX is all about stupid jokes and making fun of people. This week the lads take a more serious approach and they both turn out to be a pair of old hippies. This show is a little bit different in tone and content from usual, but hopefully just as entertaining as always.

MFX91 – This Is A Popular Thing...
MFX91 is up! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in TNA and WWE. On the show this week...
There's not much going on in wrestling this week, so the lads discuss stupid CM Punk rumours, there's some listener feedback which is always good for a giggle, plus TNA want to know if their fans want the six sided ring back, so the lads have their say on this idea and a few other random topics.
The IMPACT review is dominated by the usual suspects – Eric Young, Faakkin Bram and Blackolution. There's lots of talking on this edition of IMPACT and not much wrestling. Sir Ian tries to make Duckman care, he doesn't succeed.
The RAW review wraps the show up for another week. RAW is familiar. Anyone get the feeling we've seen this show before? Wyatt promo? Check. Daniel Bryan might have to give title up segment? Check. ADR having a match no one cares about? Check. The Shield and Evolution brawl? Check. Yep. Anyway, the review is pretty funny.

They wrap the show up with reviews of Payback and RAW. The PPV was great, with two top class matches and plenty to keep annoying smarks like us entertained. Then it's on to RAW, where Randy Orton refuses to wear pants, Batista hits the red carpet and everyone cries that The Shield broke up.

The lads turn their attention to TNA's Slammiversary PPV – it was really good! So is this review. The United Nations of the X-Division get confused, Earl Hebner is TNA's true power and he's annoying. Plus Bram is back and Eric Young reveals the secret of his speedos.
They wrap the show up with a review of Monday Night Raw. Vince hosts a save your job family picnic, John Cena sucks up to Roman Reigns and Boring Kane helps us end on a high...sorry.

The IMPACT review is full of the usual chaos and mayhem, including Earl Hebner once again being the real star of IMPACT, Earl Hebner Jnr is just plain dumb, there's some good wrestling and Bram continues to create controversy.
The show is wrapped up with the RAW review. So much good stuff in here folks, including HHH's audition for Game of Thrones, Stephy makes us BEG and there's also some pretty decent hype for the MITB PPV.

MFX95 is up!! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in WWE and TNA. On the show this week...
It's not a good week to be an Australian. With Rolf Harris and WWE's Emma both making headlines for criminal behaviour (one much more serious than the other) the lads do have a lot of fun with both stories and the reaction of WWE fans to the Emma story. Plus Duckman gives the lowdown on his trip to Birmingham to see a live recording of the Hollywood Babble-On podcast.
There's a ridiculous review of a fun edition of TNA IMPACT. Including more from the United Nations of the X-Division, Bram being Bram and some suggestions for new authority figures and their lookalike trios they should bring in.
The lads review MITB and the follow up Monday Night RAW. Great matches and returns make the headlines. The lads lose the plot over Vinny from Total Divas becoming Dusty Rhodes and they defend John Cena winning the WWE Title for the 15th time. We don't care what the IWC says, anyone with the zen ninja skills with the ladies like Cena has, is alright in MFX's book.

The IMPACT review is a ton of fun this week as FINALLY TNA realise Willow is a waste of time, Eric Young slides into obscurity, Austin Aries won't shut up about Option C, and Bram's quest for the truth about who murdered Lucy Beale in Eastenders continues.
The lads wrap the show up with their review of RAW. It's a fun review because when WWE get desperate about selling the Network, MFX gets funny.

NWA – Express Yourself
Usually toss my feedback here after I catch the occasional PPV....had nothing on the go tonight and the possibility of Lesnar returning had me watching this one.......That was the worst PPV I can remember....I dont remember a show that the opening match was so good, and the entire card after flopped.
1) Usos v/s Wyatts - Excellent match, show stealer....both teams have great chemistry...hope the feud continues. Brodie Lee is awesome, these guys bringing some life into the tag team division. 4.5/5
2) AJ vs Paige - What happened to that pale chicks push? A little more than the typical diva filler match....but still wasnt amazing, with probably the two best "wresters" in the Divas division, them and Neidharts daughter. I guess putting the filler/piss break match this early means booking knows the opener was the high point and the rest of the show is going to blow. In retrospect....this was one of the better matches on the show. 3/5
3) Swagger vs Rusev - A match with a Raw-like ending....with the crowd as invested into this feud (I assume its being going on for weeks? I dont watch much of this shit, tonight is a reflection of why) with the Pro-America thing, just an average match. Fuck Lana is sexy as shit tho 2/5 for Lanas ass
4) Ambrose vs Rollins - Again, a match that could and would have helped this awful card, got a Raw treatment. The banned from the building and then returning is the go home Raw to a PPV gimmick, not something you do to the PPV match that has potential to be the show stealer. God Brock Lesnar better be back tonight. 0/5
5) Y2J vs Wyatt - Good match, never expected it to be the show stealer, just a match that IF they did the Rollins/Ambrose match it'd keep the crowd hot and entertain....but after the entire PPV peaked after the first 20 minutes, it makes me feel like this match was slightly above average, but it carried on was too long personally.....Y2J winning was a surprise and keeps the feud going to Summerslam. 3/5
6) Battle Royal - What did Cesaro do to piss off management? The one man band guy....really? REALLY? I get the super original Miz keeps going under the bottom rope and giving away the finish 3 minutes into the match was bad enough, making Cesaro the new Zack Ryder? I get the finish....I called it 1/2 way through that Miz was gonna dump either Ziggler/Cesaro with the Jerry Lawler rumble tactics move....but the over-done finish made this match stale, and very boring. Miz will never be over....hindering another Ziggler push to realize this after Summerslam kinda sucks. 1/5
7) Main Event - Everyone knew Cena was going to win to set up him vs Lesnar at SummerSlam...but surly the booking team knew this card was going to blow, so at least ending the show with Lesnar would leave people on somewhat a high note....not waiting for him to appear tomorrow on Raw....right?....RIGHT?! Fuck this match sucks....when you have the same guys over and over in the same match, everything looks the same. Oh sweet, the barricade bump that's done EVERY PPV....Cena/Orton in right has been done 40009095969 times over the last 5 years..and knowing the result beforehand didn't really matter what anyone did. Super-cena finish to top it off. 2/5
People still pay for these things? Jesus.

MFX98 – Menace To Sanada.
MFX98 is up! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in WWE and TNA. On the show this week...
It's hot. Like, really hot. When the temperature rises, MFX goes a bit nutty. Sir Ian's kills a sofa, Duckman moans about the Commonwealth Games before they've even started. They discuss a couple of emails from listeners, including a report on Roddy Piper's recent live show in Edinburgh. The lads answer some listener questions and there's tons more summertime fun to be had.
Then it's on to the IMPACT review. While TNA spend a lot of time harking back to ECW in an attempt to stop the NYC crowd from ruining the show, the lads aren't quite as keen on this latest nostalgia kick from TNA. That said, this was another good edition of IMPACT, with some good matches and a smarktastic crowd that had the TNA audio team working over time.
The WWE part of the show has a review of the disappointing Battleground PPV and a decent edition of Monday Night Raw. Stephy gets arrested, Brock is back and hunky men argue over which one of them gets to be HHH's man...

Hear tales of Sir Ian's trip to the States including his interactions with the American healthcare system, what happened when he met his Orchid of Atlanta, his advice on stripper etiquette, how he could have been mistaken for a college campus prowler and so much more.
Duckman talks the Scottish Independence referendum and his take on it now the dust has settled. This leads to plenty of discussion on the disappointment of politics. The lads discuss The Fappening and celebrity culture in general, before wrapping up the show with talk of a lady with three breasts and a dirty protest by a disgruntled midget.
So what are you waiting for? Get listening and revel in the majesty that is the return of MFX!

MFX104 – The Inv-ASIAN Episode, Part 2.
With Sir Ian Trumps still offline, Duckman once again calls on his buddy Marc Abrigo to join him in the MFX studio. The lads struggled against terrible internet connections, but somehow got the show recorded.
It's another packed and fun show with a ton of stuff covered. The lads discuss the WWE Network numbers, ways to improve the Network's content, and they book a potential Wrestlemania 31 card - a show Marc already has his tickets for!
They also discuss and debunk the top ten conspiracy theories of all time, take a look back at some of the most WTF endings to TV series and cover the tricky topic of freedom of speech on the internet.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

Why didn't you tell anyone when P1 went up!!!! I've been waiting for this!!!
Sorry mate, I told everyone on Facebook and Twitter for days. I couldn't post it on here because it was posted during the couple of days when the server went down.
MFX105 – The Minority Report.
While Sir Ian is still offline and moving into his new house, Duckman once again gave a call to the only Asian he knows, which means Marc Abrigo is back on MFX for another week! Yay!
This week the lads discuss giant bums, amazing space related achievements and FIFA corruption. Plus there's some wrestling chat on WWE in the UK, CM Punk writing comics for Marvel, NJPW and Jim Ross, Lucha Underground and more. Plus there's a horror story about farts and plenty of Abrigo doing racial comedy that Duckman is both too scared and too white to do himself.
Another fun show, with a ton of laughs and plenty of random topics covered. You know how we do this by now, so stop reading this pointless nonsense and get listening!

MFX106 – Implied Insults and Pale on Pale Violence.
Duckman and Marc Abrigo sit down to talk the best and worst of the week. As a Filipino Marc HAS to watch every Manny Pacquiao fight. So the lads discuss Manny's latest win and whether he'll ever fight Floyd Mayweather.
There's talk about convicted rapist footballer Ched Evans, 'Pick-Up Artist' Julien Blanc and Bill Cosby. So it's a sex offender heavy first hour. Don't blame us, that's what in the news this week. Don't worry, things do get a little less serious.
The lads are amused by a Twitter war between WWE's Sheamus and UFC's Conor McGregor. TNA's new TV deal is discussed, along with WWE and UFC chat. The lads are baffled that someone wants to marry Charles Manson. They wrap the show up with Abrigo taking a quiz to find out if he's the new Jennifer Lawrence.

MFX109 – Merry MFX-MAS!!
Merry Christmas everyone! It's the final MFX show of 2014 and Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps bring you the kind of Christmas show that will make you hate humanity and Christmas. What? You were expecting something else?
Sir Ian explains all about his recent Christmas parties and his wholly inappropriate Christmas jumper. Duckman is visited by his nephew and is basically beaten half to death and run ragged for 48 hours.
They discuss some of the horrors of the world, the way people react to them and Duckman pays tribute to the people of Glasgow who once again have suffered tragedy so close to Christmas. Don't worry, things get much happier as the lads share the highlights from the past year from the MFX Galaxy. You guys rock.
The Sony hack is discussed again, with Sir Ian giving his theory on what's really going on. Duckman tries to infuriate Sir Ian with relentless Christmas cracker jokes, and he succeeds! Plus the lads discuss the things that annoy them the most about Christmas.
Thanks to everyone who has listened to the show throughout the year. This has been a great year for MFX and we're thankful for all the time you've spent listening to us and all the contributions you've made to help make the show what it is. We hope you guys have a great Christmas and New Year.

MFX110 is recorded and by fuck is it a great show. So many laughs, so many topics covered. We've got all the big stories of the week covered, we've got loads of wrestling chat for a change. We've fire back at Nerdferg and his Star Wars knowledge. Steven Bruce Attorney at Law chimes in on celebrity sex scandals. Plus we've got the first Try Hard Ruler of the Week which has been awarded by a listener. A really great show to kick off 2015, which will be up tomorrow at some point. Set light sabres to pun.
MFX110 – Steve Bruce, Attorney at Law.
New Year, new you, same old awesome MFX. Happy New Year folks! The first MFX show of 2015 is here and it's a monster of righteous entertainment from start to finish. The lads discuss all the big news stories of the last few weeks. They have their say on the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Bill Cosby, Ched Evens, Prince Andrew and more.
Plus there's all your emails discussed, including the six worst jobs in the world. There's pro-wrestling chat (including a great debate about the future of wrestling TV shows) with Duckman marking out over NJPW Wrestlekingdom 9 and our end of year awards in wrestling.

MFX111 – Respect The Chegg.
Sir Ian survives a near death experience and the first thing he does is hit the MFX studio – that's devotion for you! On the show this week...
With Sir Ian alive and kicking, he fills Duckman in on all the latest news from Celebrity Big Brother (as Duckman has never watched it). This leads the lads to agree they hate Kavana and love Keith Chegwin.
They answer all your emails, which takes them down tons of fun tangents. There's Royal Rumble predictions and WWE chat. Duckman updates Sir Ian on former WWE diva Sunny's new career as a fat, nude, Skype horror show. Plus the lads talk the latest ICW documentary, Insane Fight Club 2.
They discuss some weird news stories of the week, including a woman who invoiced a kid for missing her son's birthday party and The Sun trolling the world over Page 3. And of course, the show is wrapped up with another Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award, as nominated by you – the MFX Galaxy!
It's a cracking show and thankfully Sir Ian is still alive to take part in it! As always, thanks for listening. Go join the forums, buy some merch and get in touch with the show through all the usual channels.

About to go house hunting, MFX will surely help with this.
What're you using for bait?
Bastard, that made me spray coffee all over the table.

Folks can you hit Twitter retweet some stuff Duckman and me are tweeting and mark out for #mfx112
We need your support tonight!!!!
Hey folks, MFX112 will be posted tonight.

THE GLASWEGIAN SCREWJOB!
EARL HEBNER HOBBLES UP THE RAMP AND INTO THE WAITING CAR BACKSTAGE (possibly to the Shields music)! BAM BAM LOOKS SHOCKED, GETS UP AND SPITS ON SIR IAN! BAM BAM HAS BEEN SCREWED OUT OF THE TITLE! THE STREAK IS BROKEN!
HE SPELLS OUT "WCW" IN THE AIR WITH HIS FINGER! THE CROWD ARE BEGINNING TO TURN! DUCKMAN GRABS THE RULER AND STORMS BACKSTAGE SELLING INDIGNATION (but was in on it all along)! #JusticeForBamBam TRENDS WORLDWIDE!
Oh, I won? Erm...
THREE AND OH! THE STREAK LIVES! THE STREAK LIVES! BY GAWD HE DID IT!
Yup, slow day at work ;) I almost ruptured myself giggling at the show today. Good job lads :)
Did the sippy cup beer galsses come in the new 2 pint cup size (as is seeming to become the new gig standard)? Because that would complete the experience of being an alcoholic 2 year old
Hey guys, be sure to really push the show on Twitter and anywhere else you can. The only way we can grow the MFX galaxy is with your help. So RT the links, tell your friends about us and help spread the word of MFX. Cheers!
Just got done listening to #112...
And I'll be honest, it's the first show I have listened to fully in a while. I download them but don't always listen in full. So while a day of housework ensued, what better thing to listen to in the background!
I hate to say it, but you hit the supermarket staff/ checkout staff on the head. I work in a supermarket as a department manager, and to quote the wire "where don't you want to go?" Checkouts would be that place. It is the department everyone hates, and the self scan is the nemesis of the operation!
Some good insight into your thoughts on the wrestling uk promotions, does the wrestling channel still exist on sky to or did that fizzle out? Either way, it's calling out for a channel to take control, either on sky, or something like "pick tv" which is across both sky and freeview, and could wrestling could easily replace some of the mundane programmes it shows
Great listen, and off to finish some of the last ones that I downloaded, definitely gonna fit it into my Wednesday schedule!
#gradosMum
The last 10 minutes, wasn't sure it was the same person duckman!
Very enjoyable. Really glad you gave Dorling a shout out, hope he hears it, I'm still really inspired by his post.
Very interesting about rangers. But yeah you're right, it's boring for Celtic fans not having an arch-nemesis. What's the point of winning the Scottish league if it doesn't break the hearts of Protestants? ;D
Alright troops, we're recording MFX113 Sunday evening, 7pm UK time. So you know what that means - time to send in some topics for discussion, questions, feedback, abuse, whatever.

MFX113 – Cyberdildonics.
Time for another ridiculously great episode of MFX! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the past week in the weird and wonderful world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads discuss poker strategy and Sir Ian makes online poker players cry. They discuss the Superbowl and Sir Ian costing Duckman money. Celebrity Big Brother wraps up but thankfully a new reality show called 10,000 BC has started and it sounds amazing! A special guest joins the show to talk the Lucy Beale murder investigation from Eastenders.
There's a chat about drugs cheats in sports which turns into one of those awesome, in-depth and insightful MFX discussions about life, love and the human condition. Plus the lads go back in time and bollock their younger selves for being so dumb.
Duckman reviews Triple H on the Steve Austin podcast and marks out like a little bitch over NXT.
Plus the weirdest news stories of the week are covered and once again a Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award is nominated by you guys...and this week is one of the best contests yet. We've said this before, but this time we mean it; this really is one of the most fun shows we've ever done!

well first attempt at Try Hard and at least came in second.
It was a damn close run thing this week. I'm still having nightmares about that Red Skull kid.
MFX113 - Right then, let's get some feedback on this show. Tons of different content on this bad boy. Let's hear from you MFX Galaxy!!
Just touching briefly on the football prices before I give feedback, I went up Southampton to see Palace play in the FA Cup. It cost me £24 for two tickets. It was a total sellout. Not a single empty seat in the stadium. That's how you make money and create an atmosphere because you send football back to the working class background it came from.
Remember guys, push, pimp, shill and share the ever loving fuck out of MFX. Help us get the show out there, use social media, RT our links, Tweet us with the hashtag for the show (#mfx113 this week). Like our posts. Get active and get involved. We're the best kept secret in podcasting and I want to change that. We can only do it with your help. So spread the word of MFX and show some love for the years of hard work and free funny that Sir Ian and I have brought you. Cheers!
And if you don't.... Nude pictures of Alex will start getting PMed to those that don't listen.
Various feedback thoughts -
1. Awesome show, serious length there.Good stamina lads!
2. 4 - 0 baby!
3. On the idea of Performance enhancing drugs in a separate league - I'm only on board with this if it'll turn the matches into Matrix Style kung fu fights. That'd be AWESOME!
4. Cyber dildos - Don't ask me HOW I know about this technology, but most of them have a built in kill switch for safety.
5. Nick Farage is great, we need him more often. He definitely needs a sidekick, I vote Cavanagh - Nick would eat him alive.
Quote from: BamBamBunglow on February 11, 2015, 04:16:36 AM4 - 0 baby!
A little bird tells me there are some doozies of entries winging their way to the MFX Email address, much as I hate that this might trigger a certain jingle... I hope the 'Streak' isn't about to turn Yellow ;)
As made famous by the MFX discussion group on Facebook, here are AlexK's Phrases That Pay!
"Because he hasn't been Yewtreed"
"I can handle pretending to be a caveman, but I have standards"
"Where am I gonna get a flux capacitor at this time of night?"
"Just stay in your room till you're 35"
"Mr. Man's my dad"
"Way to write your name there, Einstein"
"It's like having sex with C-3PO"
"Must hate Captain America"
"The only thing I know about baseball is steroids"
Yellow? Never! I have a responsibility to the academy to give my best submission possible!
Though to be fair, it'll be hard to top kidnapping family...
Following Alex's lead at this time:
Loved the bit about the Superbowl, I can understand the whole 'Evul' Patriots thing, but I've also seen that so many times in many sports: A team that wins a lot MUST be cheating (Ferrari in F1 at one point, Patriots in NFL, even heard it about a team in Cricket...).
What has been left out of the discussion is how the Seahawks players decided to try and start a brawl toward the end there.
Got through the first half stuck in traffic on the way to the studio, am I the only one that hear Syrian Trumps?
That would explain a LOT
If that was 3 1/2 hours then it made my day fly by! No wonder my phone needed charging!
Am going to try and hustle some college kids at poker while the kids eat dinner, and if that's how much a raith ticket costs then Damn!
My night clubbing days are well behind me, albeit I'm 31, but them damn pesky kids! I don't do it anymore, but could still show them a thing or two!
The topic of drugs in sport was really interesting. I have a lot of thoughts on it, both as a parent, and as someone who sees the ridiculous amount of importance sports hold in America (you guys did touch on the pedestal thing, but not on the pressures in college and scholarships on the line etc). For example the highest paid people in American colleges and universities are not the principals or the councellors or the professors. No the highest paid person in an American university is the football coach. And these cunts will do anything to justify their ridiculous wages, and if drugs become acceptable in sports then there will be nothing thought of pushing them on the college athletes. Hell if coaches and the likes go out of their way to cover up rapes and sex scandals, you think they will loose any sleep on telling your kid to juice up or lose his scholarship?
I know, thats a very deep and dark side of it, but it's out there. That is a problem with society in general, not just drugs in sport but if it is ever allowed at the top it will absolutely trickle down to all levels.
But yeah on a happier note, great show, flew by ;D

They are the highest paid because they generate the most for their colleges. Simple economics. It's always why I never get made for professional players to get as much money as they can. If anything that's a reason why kids should get paid in college because they are just as equal in quantifying both the coaches salary and the schools endowment.
As someone who turned down a basketball scholarship to focus on academics amd actually having a life in college, I agree with Pancho. Athletics bring in the most money for schools which is how they quantify the huge contracts. Furthermore, college players should absolutely get paid. Its impossible to have a job as a college athlete and the only person you can accept money from is essentially your parents which for me personally my parents didn't have money like that.
The reason sports, especially football, are the big money makers is that they have a fanbase that doesn't only include students and alumni. Colleges have thousands, or millions, of fans that didn't attend the school, yet probably spend just as much on apparel, tickets, memorabilia, etc....
Ok, my post was more to do with it in relation to the drugs in sport topic, but I seemed to have sparked off another topic completely, which is probably good material for the next show?
For the record I don't personnally have a fully formed opinion on whether college athletes should get paid. (I just don't want them pressured into taking performance enhancers)
When education is commercialised. Is that the basic idea you guys are talking about? I don't know enough about the US college sports system. But it appears you guys are describing a commercial operation. With big money involved. Is that right, or have I totally missed the point? Good topic for the show too!

No, in this case it's the importance of big time revenue generating sports and the lack of focus on education.

That's it. I couldn't quite think of how to sum it up but Justin nailed it. However it is just one of many many issues with college education in America.

I work for a community college so id be interested in hearing your other issues as I have some as well.
Just the plain and simple fact that college has become such an automatic way of life. Everybody is expected to go, get into huge debt and end up taking a shitty job that has nothing to do with what they studied for and does not pay enough to get out of said debt. And it's all done under the mantra of "stay in school kids, education is important".
It's one of those things that has become so far removed from its purpose but that we are so conditioned to go through the motions that we don't question it. Like voting in elections, or signing kids up for little league. The world has changed and these concepts have not adapted enough to be relevant, but yet they are all classed in this whole "being American, making our forefathers proud" bullshit that nobody knows how to speak out against them without sounding like some anti-American radical.
MFX114 – One Man and his Dolphin.
The only podcast that Kanye West is happy to see beat Beyoncé to an award is back for another week! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
Duckman experiences the wonders of Glasgow's buskers. Sir Ian and his wife attend a bird sanctuary and meet Natural Trust hippies that freak Sir Ian out. Plus they stumble upon a pigeon immigration issue that divides the bird population.
All your emails are answered. The lads talk the recent Premier League football TV deal and what it means to the game in general and whether or not the Premier League should share their wealth with the rest of football.
Seth Rollins' cock gets a lot of coverage this week. And the question of whether or not dick pictures are a good idea is answered. The answer is no, they're not a good idea. Plus UKIP: The First 100 Days makes the lads almost feel sympathy for UKIP – which is never a good thing.
Duckman discovers a news story about a man and his forbidden love, Dolly. She's a dolphin. This leaves the lads creased with laughter and questioning just how weird humans can be.
The show is wrapped up with the single most controversial Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award in history. This one is going to cause a riot!
As always, thanks for listening. Get in touch with the show through all the usual channels. Join the forums. Buy some merch and shill the shit out of this show like you've never shilled before!!

I've been waiting two weeks to post this one!
(http://www.nzpwi.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/shocked_undertaker_guy.jpg)
Ok, new merch based on Sir Ian's answer to everything - "Keep Calm and Wank One Out".
We've just done a 'who killed Lucy Beale' sweepstake in the office. Random draw gave me Denise.
... so now I'm on the side of DC Nick Farridge, apparently ???
So, with the recent Ruler being awarded...
[spoiler]Do we now call Duckman 'Quack Lesnar'?[/spoiler]
Of all the people to be BamBam's Brock Lesnar, did not expect [spoiler] Duckman[/spoiler]! Don't think it 'controversial' though.
Knew mine wouldn't win (though it was pointed out as being TryHardian on the part of the Druglords, which was my angle on it) but soon as I heard the one for the MFX Galaxy, I had that down as a winner.
A great consequence of this: [spoiler]Sir Ian now gets to be Duckman's Paul Heyman, the 1 behind the 1 in 4-1. Expect lines next week about My Client Duckman Who Conquered The Streak.[/spoiler]
Might I suggest a "table of contents" per say for each episode? For example in your "MFX XXX - Preview" thread you could have something like:
0:00-10:00 - Intro/Ian's Poker Night
10:00-26:43 - Topic Change
etc...
A good suggestion man, but not something we could do. In a 3 hour show, that's a shit lot of listing to do!
I try to give a basic outline in the current preview post. Also, that preview post feeds into our RSS feed (which links to Stitcher and ITunes, so the show descriptions would be huge on those platforms).
Plus, a lot of people don't like to know what's on the show to that detail and rather listen and discover it themselves. Part of the advice I was given by someone who does this professionally, is when marketing these things is to not go into that much detail. Keeping it somewhat short and sweet gives people enough of an idea about what's on the show, without going into too much detail and moving into spoiler territory.
I actually asked about this as an idea and was advised that you wouldn't break a movie or TV show down into that level of detail, same with a podcast.
I do like suggestions like this though man. Thanks for that.

A good suggestion man, but not something we could do. In a 3 hour show, that's a shit lot of listing to do!
I try to give a basic outline in the current preview post. Also, that preview post feeds into our RSS feed (which links to Stitcher and ITunes, so the show descriptions would be huge on those platforms).
Plus, a lot of people don't like to know what's on the show to that detail and rather listen and discover it themselves. Part of the advice I was given by someone who does this professionally, is when marketing these things is to not go into that much detail. Keeping it somewhat short and sweet gives people enough of an idea about what's on the show, without going into too much detail and moving into spoiler territory.
I actually asked about this as an idea and was advised that you wouldn't break a movie or TV show down into that level of detail, same with a podcast.
I do like suggestions like this though man. Thanks for that.
No problem. I finally broke down and gave the show a listen (after all the hubbub last week, figured might as well - I had a long drive). I generally don't enjoy podcasts and I quickly remembered why: in a "general subject" podcast, you're listening for 3 (picked the number out of thin air) hours for approximately 30 minutes or so of something you're interested in.
For example; the poker bit at the beginning of 113. I couldn't care any less about poker, period, which is fine, but had I known XYZ was coming up in a few minutes, I would have plodded through.
Just one man's opinion, which means jack - still subscribed and get the download each week. I can appreciate the hard work that goes in to making this every week and will listen as I have an opportunity. Thanks for the response!
If I go to the pub with my mates, we will talk about a variety of subjects. Some I am interested in and some I am not. That's the way I view this podcast. It's a chat about a variety of subjects of which there will be something for everybody and an irreverent style of humour that bonds the lot together. And they spoke of my town during the discussion about the people aspiring to live where I live... :)

aka the dolphins
Right, lemme start with the usual formalities, here are your Phrases That Pay for MFX114:
"Not a molar between them"
"You won't take a selfie with a swan"
"National Lampoon's Bird Sanctuary"
"He doesn't even have a plaque"
"How much does he pay for his Jesus?"
"More Skeletors in their He-Man closets"
"Why did I spend so long looking for a mirror?"
"Roman Reigns never needed to cuddle"
"Until I met a really erotic goldfish"
"Fifty Shades of Tuna"
Now, about this week's THROW award...
[spoiler]It was definitely a good one. I came THIS close to submitting it myself, but I would've (unwisely) nominated Gawker. My reasoning for that is, I saw Gawker trying hard to do "tough journalism" by essentially being a bunch of douchebags online, and being outed as just that. However, seeing as they might have won that argument by having Coca-Cola shut the whole thing down, my nomination probably would've been unfounded.
So, kudos to Duckman on that one lol.[/spoiler]
Great show again lads.
I am sooooo with Ian on the principle of boycotting big clubs and sky sports. Consider the premiership added to nestle, monsanto, Walmart and meat (particularly peacock meat) on my to-don't list ;D
Interesting about the documentary, it kind of reminds me of how political parties over here put out stupid attacks against themselves so that they can heroically defend their stances like martyrs.
Oh and I actually bought the face shirt along with the heel. I was inspired by big show :)
WAITACOTTONPICKINGROOTIN'TOOTIN'MINUTE!
Something has just been brought to my attention regarding the Try Hard Ruler award... how is it Try Hardian?
After looking at the article myself, I see no evidence of Try Hardianism...ism. Coca Cola made something cool, then a bunch of trolls fed it lines from Mein Kampf. Yes, it failed... but how is it Coke's fault? There's no "Try hard and failing spectacularly because you're a dumb twat" part of it... It failed because humans always want to destroy something beautiful...
... Something's fishy here MFX Galaxy. SOMEONE CALL HUNCH!
Mixed thoughts on the Football/boycotting thing. I already do same with WWcEna in terms of boycotting and also football in general.
But the whole thing about the money going into grassroots... way I see it, if the clubs are companies, helping fund football at grassroots is really an investment by them for the future that will help them and the game in the long term.
Investors and shareholders, if they're smart, should recognise this. Also would it not be in the interests of some of the clubs to have upcoming talent they can also send to the England or other National teams. If I were involved in that and one of my players were called up for a National side, I'd be promoting the hell outta that.
You're right Tone, but the problem is the big clubs are so short sighted these days. They don't want to invest and grow. They want quick success, so they buy players someone else has trained for a huge price and try to get that instant success.
Look at Southampton as the perfect example. If they'd have kept their top players over the last 5-8 years, they'd probably have won the league -Walcot, Bale, Oxlaide Chamberline, Lalana, Shaw etc - so many great players they trained and brought through. Then again, the money those players brought in, will probably keep the club going for years.
There's also this weird trade off with the big clubs sending a lot of their youth players down the leagues to get experience, but then simply buying the best players when they come along. I'm sure I read somewhere Chelsea have over 25 players in the championship and league one, hardly any of them will ever get in the Chelsea first team, but they might help some other team win promotion.
With so much money in the Premier and Champions League, they don't care about the national team either.
I can see both sides of the argument but when everyone is thinking short term success, the grass roots of the sport is completely disregarded by those at the top.
Also I can't believe Bam Bam is calling the integrity of a historic institution like the Try Hard Academy into question. It's been around since the 80s!!! :)
This is probably exactly what Taker did to Brock after WM!
Hey, hey, hey, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Try Hardian Academy!
What I'm saying, Brother, is that after a string of terrible nominations, maybe Sir Ian grasped onto the funniest one like a drowning man grabbing onto a rubber ring without fully thinking through whether the situation was, indeed, Try Hardian. Sometimes calling audibles just don't work out well, Jack.
(The previous statement is best read in a Sir Ian Hulk Hogan voice).
Yeah that does seem to be a problem, Short-term success heavily focussed on and probably at the detriment of the longterm. It's even creeping into a few other sports too, but most prevalent in football where it feels like every other week there's a report of a manager being sacked within a month of being taken on.

Yeah, but one of those 'wins' was by DQ to Giant Gonzales after he got KO'ed with chloroform... As for Dolly's buoy (ha, the wit...), I can just see his dating profile now:
Tagline: Hydrophilliac wants to make you wet!
Username: Aquaman6969
Age: 63
Profession: Filmmaker/Writer
Favorite food: mackerel
Favorite films: Flipper, Free Willy and Swordfish.
Kinkiest thing you're willing to admit: Really into Watersports.
Dramatized footage of Duckman's THRotWA has been found
This is pretty much how Ian described it (http://youtu.be/_TkmpeYOUYI?t=2m46s)
HA! That's fucking awesome.
MFX115 – Fifty Shades of Andy Grey
The number one podcast for inappropriate dolphin lovers everywhere is back for another week! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads discuss all the fall-out from the epic, "who killed Lucy Beale?" storyline in Eastenders. They talk Oscar nominations and make a few predictions on who might win. Plus they lament Madonna's decision not to allow Grado to use her song for his entrance on TNA TV this week, and write a few new songs for her.
All your emails are answered and once again the lads are lead down a philosophical path about changing your letter for the better and the importance of self-motivation. Plus a long lost member of the show makes a return to rule on the major controversy than ended last week's show.
There's wrestling chat as CM Punk vs. WWE Doctor is covered, plus Samoa Joe leaves TNA and the lads preview Fast Lane...well, they actually just make fun of it.
This week's weird news stories involve Fifty Shades of Grey and the show is wrapped up with a classic Try Hard Ruler of the Week award!
As always, thanks for listening. Be sure to get in touch with the show through all the usual channels and shill this show to everyone you know!

Laughed so much it sparked and coughing fit and I almost lost my breakfast. And I only just got as far as the suprise return.
So much fun as usual. Wow, if I did believe in censorship, fifty shades would be right up there with twilight as candidates for it. Bad enough it caused stabbings in Glasgow and riots in Florida, but bringing micheal Bolton back in the public eye is really crossing the line.
Good stuff George the animal peel, keep it up. Great discussion following that, and yeah it's really true, how you start to view things differently once you take steps to take control of your life. It's very hard to convey this though to people who have not yet reached that point.
I actually like madonnas manly arms! Hmmm, Not quite sure I should be admitting that.
Oh, and yayme, and my very first try hard ruler.... Though I should of course thank duckman, couldn't have done it without him and his marketing skills ;D
Tell you what's funny though... I live less than ten minutes away from Sparta, home of the attempted black ice alibi, and try hard runner-up! In fact I used to play indoor soccer there every Thursday night! If I ever go back to that, I'm going to pour ice all over the surface and use it as an excuse for my shit ball-control!
I'm going to be honest, as soon as I heard DQ's entry, I knew I had lost. Still, at least I seem to be moving in the right direction.
Excellent show as always, but a little disappointed at the delay towards the next one. Then again I guess Duckman will have to recover from his Downdog practice with Brick...
Indeed. I'm not sure DDP has worked out a position that Brick will be able to do, but she'll give it her best shot.
Just to give you guys an update, it might be 3 weeks or so before the next show:
This weekend: Eoin coming to stay with me
Next weekend: I'm in England for a family wedding, Ian's wife's birthday (I think)
Weekend after that: My birthday, so might be away, Ian has friends visiting
Weekend after that: Maybe free - will need to confirm.
Just a hectic time for both of us over the next month or so, but we'll keep you guys update when the next show will be!
Cheers for the feedback too lads.
Look on the bright side. Time wise, my undefeated tryhard streak will automatically be as long as bam bam's :-)

And you'll defend the title about as often as Brock Lesnar does, so it works.
You're the one that beat the one that beat the one in 3-1.
I didn't get a chance to go through my usual "Phrases That Pay" routine, but I do have some feedback:
1) I'm taking full credit for bringing the award to the Galaxy's attention, but I'm not the one who put in the nomination. Whoever did is the real MVP.
2) I'm slightly gutted I didn't get a piece of that ruler, but at least it was because someone had something better and not what used to be the case; last thing I want is to be called the Perennial Underachiever of the THROW Awards.
3) I am working on writing "Like A Sermon" as we speak. Ian may have opened a floodgate of churchy parodies that he'll wish have stayed closed...
[spoiler]Like a sermon
Preached for the very first time
Like a seerrrmooon
Holy Ghost, on my mind...[/spoiler]
4) I've jotted down the design slogans/ideas so I have them on hand when I get back to doing them. Thanks!
Wow what a show! Brilliant one guys, loved it.
One of the first shows I started at about 11pm and just listened solidly until 2am! (the FBL updates helped with that I guess). But I laughed all the way through and never once felt like pausing it or going to sleep! Kinda gutted now tho cause I'm knackered!
Downloading it at the moment to give it a whirl while cranking out job apps, etc. The hard work is appreciated.
MFX116 – We Brought Back Abrigo.
Greetings and salutations MFX Galaxy – we're back!! That's right folks, MFX is back to take another NSFW look at this weird and wonderful world we live in. On the show this week...
Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps are joined by their cheap Asian labour worker Marc Abrigo, who brings his usual brand of metrosexual hilarity and loud family members to the show! Duckman reports back on his trip to England for a family wedding and the horror of British trains and stupid people. Sir Ian goes clubbing again and dispenses advice about selling cigarettes and the correct way to talk to women.
Marc is going to WrestleMania 31 this weekend, so the lads preview and predict the show as only MFX can. This is without a doubt, the greatest and most bizarre preview of WrestleMania 31 you'll hear on any podcast this week! Plus Sir Ian and Duckman duke it out to try and get Marc to take their sign to WrestleMania. It gets intense.
Also your emails answered, weird news stories are discussed and another Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award is nominated by the MFX Galaxy.
We laughed so much during this show we all had to take a trip to the Emergency Room. This podcast is so God damn funny it should come with a major health warning.
As always, thanks for listening. Be sure to check out the new blogs on the MFX site, get in touch with the show through all the usual channels and enjoy WrestleMania!

(I'm just going to update this post with the lines that have made me burst out laughing in the office. What do you mean I should do work?)
Chocaholic zooaphiles! CRYING! xD
SNARF HAD A HUGE COCK! He was like a little furry tripod.
(I'm just going to update this post with the lines that have made me burst out laughing in the office. What do you mean I should do work?)
Also - Snarf sounds like Ian's Jerry Lawler impression.
After Adam Wrong's question and the ensuing religious talk - Noahs Ark has just taken a dark, dark turn for me. Jonah and the whale makes a damned sight more sense though.
Sir Ian Trumps - Vigilant Of The Airwaves. Seeking out insjustice and poor people wherever they hide.
NeeNor Special! MAKE IT HAPPEN! #SayYesToNeeNor
Cheers for the feedback buddy. This was a really fun show to do. Abrigo always brings the best/worst out in us!!
Great show guys! Full of the wall funny moments. Will definitely listen more often.
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.

Great show as always, I love the health and fitness discussion at the beginning. I actually took some of it quite to heart, especially Marcs philosophy of not eating more than you need simply for the sake of finishing of a set portion.
About looking to buy cigarettes. Sorry Ian. I've been Johnny Blazer, many, many times. I cant speak for anyone else, but for me it was always when I was trying to quit... and I was ALWAYS trying to quit. But I needed one to get me through, that's all just this one last one, no, not a pack, because then Ill smoke them all, nope if I just have one cigarette, and if I pay a dollar for it, its way more expensive and will make me not want to buy another one, yep, well, maybe one more, but I definitely wont make a habit out of it at a dollar a smoke, nope, it'll just be that last one...
Yes its pathetic, I know. Just glad those days are behind me. Unless.... well... I haven't had an English smoke in forever.. what do you smoke? B&H? Embassy? Superkings? What do you suppose the postage would cost on a single cigarette... hypothetically speaking like... just if you had one to spare and were maybe looking to make a not-so-quick dollar?
And for the record I would never pour nestle products down the toilet... I have more respect for toilets than that!
MFX117 - Justin Luger, Hidden Atari (The WrestleMania Report)
O.M.G! How awesome was WrestleMania 31?! Answer: very! That's right folks, MFX is back with a review of WrestleMania 31 and all hell is breaking loose. With Duckman on holiday, without his usual set up, Sir Ian steps into the host chair and Duckman and Marc Abrigo guest star on Trumps for Xcellence.
Listen as Sir Ian attempts to host a podcast in his own inimitable fashion, which basically involves insulting everyone on the show and butchering a wrestler's name so spectacularly, the lads spend the rest of the show ripping on him for it! Marc give his in person report from the WWE Hall of Fame, NXT and of course, WrestleMania 31. Hear stories of annoying wrestling fans, sign etiquette, Abrigo protecting kayfabe and so much more.
The lads do a full review of WrestleMania 31 as only MFX can – with tales of Sean Waltman living in a cardboard box, Larry Zbyszko being a hall of fame stalker, Hulk Hogan trying to steal the spotlight from Bitch Sting, double brother wanking over Ronda Rousey, and tales of Alex Smiley's crazy pants emporium.
Plus the lads review the follow night's episode of Monday Night Raw, with its crazy chants, awesome Brock Lesnar angle, Michael Cole's lonely shoe, Bryon Saxton putting the world to sleep and nerdy wrestler names.
This is the review of WrestleMania you've been waiting for. So stop reading this rubbish and get listening!

If you go to the @mfxpodcast handle retweet and favourite the 4-5 tweets relating to the show and blogs that's how we get traction on social media. Costs you nothing folks :)

Exactly my point Pete. We appreciate it because the more retweets or favourites you get the more impact you have on twitter. This week along with a bit more twitter work than usual and the added help of Mania signs and what not from Marc I added something like 30 followers which is a 15% increase on my total follower numbers.
The Rye Bitch account has had an increase of 46% since it has been used a lot more the last week or so.
MFX I think has shot up by a good 30-40 followers in the last week or so as well, but Duckman can correct me on that if needs be.
Every little does help guys and although people might feel we drone on about this communities support its this sort of help which does mean we reach more people and move up rankings. So thanks to Pete and the rest of you doing what your doing to help continue to get the word out about MFX.
This may sound dumb but is there any other way to help other than social media. I dont do it.
Tell your friends. That's what I do.
That might seem weird, but my friends already think I'm weird so it evens out.
(Seriously though, I think telling anyone in your regular circles that might be even remotely interested in the type of content MFX has is a good way to go.)

Same here. I try and pimp it to some of my friends that I watch the ppvs with, but with little success. One friend was very interested in the concept of the FWL though. Now that I've started playing mafia, Ill see if I can rope them into that. When I have a few more blog entries up I will pimp that and see if it leads them to the boards and/or the podcast.
I've told my friends. Several times. They're all Lazy cunts. Like Worse than me
#WankPheasant
... THAT IS ALL.....
Maybe not....
I genuinely thought Duckman wasn't going to participate. #Wolfiepack Sir Ian > Duckman....
Great start to the show.. It was different, and then when Duckman came in, I was like Thank fuck for that! lol!
Honestly though, it was good for the change up. You both carry the show, but its always a great addition for marc to be on the show, and am pleased he had an awesome weekend. He had the whole wrestlemania experience and it sounded like he made it an awesome weekend..
What you get with this show isnt just a WM review, its s MFXPodcast review!
Just watching it now, excellent show fellas.
Thanks for the positive feedback folks, really appreciate it! Glad to hear you guys enjoyed the show too.
MFX118 – Sir Ian vs. Skidiband and The Hippy
Oh you lucky people, MFX is back for another week of the kind of podcasting greatness that has to be heard to be believed. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads are off on all kinds of tangents this week; from parental DIY disasters, to love, marriage, truth and changing your life for the better. There's enough topics and awesomeness packed into this show to fill three normal podcasts! But that's not all!
The lads talk the UK General Election, with plenty Sir Ian making his feelings on a couple of party leaders made all too clear! Plus Rye Betch joins the show to talk wrestling, but just ends up being annoying as usual. The show is wrapped up with one of the weirdest Try Hard Ruler of the Awards in some time!
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

Oh dear... oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. It looks like Bam Bam may have to swoop in and prove he's not the "Underdog" of the Try Hard academy...
QOTS (Quote Of The Show): "It looks like a fetish mask for a small cow"
Curse you Jag! I finally find something that's actually Tryhardian and you swoop in with Skidiband and his Urn Coke
Also with regards to the star wars underdog discussion ya got the uncle's name wrong. Uncle Ben is either the guy from Spiderman or the guy who makes rice. I think George Lucas might have put the latter in the most recent special edition though
Backing Goldferg here - it was Uncle Owen, not uncle Ben. Whilst I bow in my nerd-fu to goldferg, even I know that one :D
Shut up nerds. :)
His uncle most certainly made rice for a living (while he wasn't farming moisture). Hence, Uncle Ben!
I need a sign that just says
FUCK OFF GOLDFERG
LOL
Or we never mention Star Wars as a reference point ever again.
Maybe there's a Trekkie or two we can annoy on here with messed up references?!

Another good show guys. The DYI part reminds me of how I try and put things together without reading the instructions first and when it doesn't go right I get mad and start cussing.
Upon re-listening, you lads may get a political based E-mail about the Tory Government, and why them being back in power could be a bad, bad thing (I work for the Office for National Statistics, so I get the numbers before they're put through the press bullshit/political spin machine).
Or, you may get one about dick jokes. It'll depend on my mood ;)
Also lads, remember that whilst you're watching all these new shows, you still have 2-3 recommendations awaiting your attention! :P (I have Drawn Together on my PC, can work out some form of drop box style file tranfser of an episode or two iff'n ya need it. Failing that, Ye Olde Pirate Baye usually has it)

MFX119 – The Attack of The Killer Koalas.
MFX is back for another week and we are bringing the funny like never before. That doesn't mean we weren't funny before - because we were. It just means this show is even funnier than usual! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in! On the show this week...
Sir Ian plays Football Manager during the show, and proves that he's probably a better podcaster than a football manager! The lads talk politics and the UK general election and put forward their pitches of how they would run the NHS. Duckman marks out over Daredevil on Netflix and rallies against people who download Netflix shows for free.
An email from a listener poses the lads tough question, which ends with an elaborate murder scenario involving Koala bears and a hippy. There's a good chance Duckman injured a lung laughing so much here!
They also talk all the recent bad ass movie trailers, pro wrestling and the dark web! It's a real mixed bag of topics and tangents this week.
Plus there's a highly competitive and very funny edition of The Try Hard Ruler of the Week! It's a hard fought battle of terrible names and stupid people!
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

For the first time in... actually, forever, I'll admit I skipped some of MFX :( Sorry lads but working in a government office, I get ALOT of political talk... and I'm a bit sick of it :) Not saying it was bad, I just don't wanna hear anymore. Maybe I'll go back and listen after the Election is over ;)
I almost fell off my chair laughing at the Koalas though.
No worries man, it's only 20 minutes, so there's well over 2 hours of other subjects to enjoy!
I'm still laughing about the Koalas and Godzilla auditioning for Jurrasic World!

as the resident Aussie, this title offends me.
Don't worry, there's plenty more in there that will offend you more than the title.
LMAO, speaking of offending JDM...there was the debate over the name Jordan. Though we used you as a prime example of someone called Jordan with some wits about them...
NO MORE SPOILERS!
Since I didn't get around to commenting on #118 I want to say it is probably my favorite show so far. I LOVED the discussion on losing ones identity in a relationship and fear of giving up certain things in the name of compromise, and the whole putting on a show thing. To be honest I think it's a lot of why I can't be arsed dating.
I disagreed with Ian on a few points in the political discussions, but I can hardly see that being the most shocking news to hit the mfx galaxy.... Namaste Syrian ;D I do find it educational though, being as I'm not exposed to British politics anymore.
As for show#119 that was the best try hard I've heard. Way to go jag, he could surpass the streak next show.... Who going to allow that to happen bam bam?
My favorite line though was ian... "wait, was this another Adam wrong one?" referring to the entry about bleaching the tattoo off. The tone of voice really conveyed the "what the fuck is this mans obsession with mothers bleaching their kids? " and just generally made me almost piss myself.
Very interesting about the dark web. Didn't even know it was a big thing. One of the many reasons I don't do social media is because I tend to want to express my opinions about things that... Well perhaps with cite ship application coming soon, I shouldn't. Yes, there is a genuine fear things you left behind in cyberspace being used against you.
The problem is that now it is considered hiding if you DON'T have a Facebook account. For example if I ever have to look for a new job I could be fucked, as it's one of the first things employers ask about now, even practically insisting you "friend" the hr person in some cases.
On the lighter side of things, I do enjoy when you guys rag on Facebook. It makes me feel quite smug 8)

He'll rival me if he gets to 4. The one I threw on this show was a rushed find... That ruler's coming home to BamBam in 120 :)

That's like the second week in a row Syrian has asked if the Ruler nomination I submitted has been Adam's. I think I should be worried.
Also loling at the Skidiband murder, Koala deathtrap and the Jurassic World casting. Did you guys suggest that the new mutant T-Rex was a T-Rex with Scott Steiner's arms grafted on or did I just infer that from your dialogue?

MFX120 – Lube or No Lube?
Settle down, buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life! MFX is back for another week and this is one of the most fun shows we've ever done. Seriously. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads preview Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, give their predictions for the fight and also talk all things boxing and how fighters cope when their career is over. They talk the recent controversy with former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones and the slippery slope that sporting celebrities can quickly go down.
There's UK General Election chat, but don't worry it's not boring or preachy. Sir Ian reviews Ed Milliband's interview with Russell Brand and Duckman discovers a UKIP candidate with a second career in porn.
The lads talk superhero movies, reboots, marketing in blockbuster films and why neither of them can care about Superman...unless he's fighting Batman.
There's wrestling chat, with a quick review of Extreme Rules and the lads discuss the news that Billy Corgan is the new head of TNA creative.
There's also the single greatest edition of the Try Hard Ruler of the Week in history – with cops, lube, guns, beer, bombs, prom and wanted posters. Plus some of the dumbest humans on the planet. This is SO much fun this week.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

Wow, I'm only 16 minutes in, but I had to stop it or Ill forget to share this later..
Duckman, I wish I could make fun of you for the not knowing your laptop didn't have a dvd-rom, but a similar thing happened to me. A couple of years ago, the thought struck me out of nowhere, "hmmm, I haven't played a WWE game in ages, wonder what they're like now... huh, my room-mate has an x-box, maybe Ill just pop down to the local game stop"... and so I went, purchased the game, came back home, opening the game case, put it in the x-box, soooo excited... nothing happens. I take it back to the store, they exchange it for a different copy, I get back, put THAT in, same result. Somewhere amidst my frustration I realized that I did not see any sign of the number 360 on my room-mates console. He had the fricking original X-Box... dammit... I went back to the store, bought an Xbox 360, since I wasn't allowed to get a refund on the game and ended up spending a lot more money than I had counted on.
Love the football manager talk, reminds me of great times I had with my friends back in Ireland. Anyway, I'm done rambling, time to listen to more...
Awesome show lads, glad to see the Try Hard Ruler getting a decent number of nominations this week - keep it up guys, it makes for epic listening :D
Also... you lads and your love of Midget Abuse just scares me :P Although on reflection, there's defo a market for the "Reenacting sporting moments with midgets". A Johnny wilkinson final penalty in the rugby world cup moment with a midget... xD
MFX121 – Matrix Pooping.
Right, MFX is here and we're owning your lives for a few hours. We'll make you laugh and make you think...but mostly laugh. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads discuss the UK General Election outcome. Don't worry, it's only ten minutes of politics chat and it's still pretty damn funny. They talk another big contest, Mayweather v Pacquiao, and Sir Ian meets a lying bouncer on a night out.
Sir Ian has tales of a night out in Manchester and how going to expensive strip clubs isn't always a fun time. The lads discuss terrible toilet tales, with Sir Ian attempting to avoid disaster with some Matrix style pooping.
All your emails are answered, the great 'lube or no lube' question takes a charitable turn and Sir Ian sets out his own government. Duckman rages against the dumbing down of society and the lads talk the class system and get a bit deep and meaningful for a while.
The show is wrapped up with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award and it's another weird mix of stupid people doing stupid things, and failures on an epic scale.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to answer to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

After a couple of weeks off the lads are back with another cracking show to tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
Duckman goes down south to the big gay family wedding, gets ridiculously drunk and makes an ass of himself. Sir Ian hits the Star Wars exhibit at Madame Tussauds, visits some strippers and gets roaringly drunk. A couple of fun stories of what happens when the lads are let loose in public.
The lads talk the FIFA corruption arrests and find out while their recording that Sepp Blatter resigned.
There's movie reviews with San Andreas and Mad Max: Fury Road given the MFX treatment.
Plenty of wrestling talk this week with ROH/TNA chat, Sir Ian enjoys NXT and the lads mark out over Kevin Owens and discuss the future of WWE, the changes in their recruitment and why some characters will be permanently stuck in the mid-card.
The show wraps up with another hard fought Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award – a really fun contest this week with some very strange stories.

Peel went to a strip club in Cardiff?! If it was the fantasy lounge, I'm surprised he made it out alive!
I nearly lost my cool when I heard the first 20 or so seconds. I thought I was listening to an older episode by mistake...and then I realized what you guys did there ;)
Will leave more feedback after listening, that just got me by such surprise that I had to mention it lol
Remember guys, spread the word of MFX. RT our links, 'like' our posts, tell your friends about us. The only way this show grows is with your help and support. A couple of clicks here and there can make all the difference to us. Give us some help for all those hours of free funny. Cheers.

MFX123 – We'll See You in Dolphin Court.
Don't worry, your eyes and ears don't deceive you – there's a NEW MFX show and it's as awesome as always (and full of alliteration)! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads discuss the legalisation of gay marriage in the US, the opposition to it and the changes society has undergone in recent times. They talk about the battles of humanity when it comes to religion, race and sexuality and wonder if the entirety of human existence is just some alien's failed school science project.
They take things in a less intense direction as Sir Ian reviews the movies Jurassic World and Knock Knock. Duckman chimes in with his love of the TV shows Justified and Silicon Valley. Plus the lads answer your emails and we learn all about Sir Ian's time as the top heel in an American high school soccer league.
Duckman pays tribute to the late, great Dusty Rhodes and raves about how much fun WWE's recent Beast in the East show was. The lads quickly cover the latest departures and uncertainty in TNA and there's all the latest on Hulk Hogan's sex tape trial.
The show wraps up this week with a very one sided edition of the Try Hard Ruler of the Week.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels. Please be sure to spread the word of MFX by telling your friends about us and sharing our links across social media. Cheers!

MFX124 – ...In Association with Pal Productions.
Two shows in two weeks? Yep, that's right folks – MFX is back once again with another cracking show for you lucky people. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads kick off with some sports chat. They talk the latest transfers in premier league, Raheem Sterling's situation with Liverpool and Steven Gerrard's debut for LA Galaxy. Then Duckman marks out for UFC189 and the arrival of a true MMA superstar in 'The Notorious' Conor McGregor.
Sir Ian reviews 'Ballers' which is The Rock's new TV show and WWE's Tough Enough. This leads the lads to rewrite their own version of Tough Enough as Vince McMahon would really do it. It basically involves a lot of sexual deviant behaviour and trying to make flights to towns you've never heard of. Plus they talk the new MTV reality show, White People.
The wrestling chat continues as Duckman has been sent some erotic wrestling fan-fiction which horrifies Sir Ian. The lads talk about Vince's weird instructions to his commentators and how it's ruining commentary in WWE.
There's plenty to mark out about with the reveal of the new Batman v Superman trailer and the behind the scenes footage of the new Star Wars movie. This leads to loads of chat about comic book movies, reboots, the over use of CGI and other fun movie related topics.
They wrap the show up with another head to head battle for the Try Hard Ruler of the Week. With the winner being the true definition of a try hard!
It's a fun show as always, so check it out, get involved with the show through all the usual channels and be sure to share the show on social media and anywhere else you can!

MFX125 – Race-a-mania, brother.
MFX is back in your lives, so sit back, relax and get ready for the kind of podcast that is so damn great, it should come with a government health warning! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads kick off with tons of chat about Hulk Hogan and his racial tirade in his sex tape. They make fun of Hogan (obviously) but also talk the price of fame, race, discrimination, and whether or not the moral spectrum of society is changing in the modern world and what kind of society that may eventually result in – it involves the movie Demolition Man!
There's weird erotic Harry Potter fan fiction that leaves the lads shocked, bored and in the end writing their own MFX fan erotic fan fiction. Yep, it's one of those shows.
Plus there's reviews of AntMan, Deep Web, White People and Duckman shares a public transport etiquette story.
There's the usual highly competitive Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award and the show is wrapped up with a special appearance by two former MFX regulars who have a poem to share about the whole Hulk Hogan racial controversy.

MFX126 – Hogwarts with Attitude.
It's been a month, the longest month of your life, but fear not – MFX IS BACK!! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads have been off air for a month, so they catch on the scandal involving Jared from Subway and hope that other Fogles don't get tarred with his perverted brush. We find out what the lads have been up to in the past month. Duckman moved house and Sir Ian went to the single most awesome sounding event ever – Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back, Secret Cinema. During which he hung out with Star Wars characters and slightly stalked his teenage crush Gail Porter.
Your emails are answered with talk about social media, censorship of comedy, Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. Sylvester Stallone and a new segment for the show – Top Trumps – is suggested.
The horrible Harry Potter fanfiction from MFX125 is revisited with the usual hilarious results and somehow Bruce Springsteen joins the fun and vampire/wizard related shenanigans.
The show is wrapped up as always with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award, which this week has three of the best nominations that have ever been sent in! Plus the lads wrap the show up with an impassioned plea for support and promotion from the MFX Galaxy.
As always, thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

MFX127 – In a MFX Galaxy, far, far away...
Two shows in two weeks, praise to the Lord!! MFX is back and while we might have some slightly dodgy audio, there's so much greatness on this show, you can't really complain. Although you probably will. Anyway, join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads talk Ashley Madison, Josh Duggar and wonder just how horny, pervy and weird we are as a society. The answer is very. They talk Donald Trump and Jeremy Corbin – two politicians that couldn't be any further apart on the political spectrum, but who appeal to the far fringes of society when main stream politicians suck. The lads also have great fun taking the piss out of premier league footballer Jermain Defoe and his recent terrible advertisement for a personal assistant.
All your emails are answered, with talk of a super smart Octopus and the lads cast Star Wars using you guys in the MFX Galaxy! Plus the lads talk NXT Takeover, Summerslam, Raw and the stuttering Diva's revolution. That's right, plenty of pro wrestling chat on the show this week.
There's the latest instalment of the terrible Harry Potter vampire fan fiction. Plus the first edition of the new movie trivia quiz for Sir Ian called Top Trumps! MFX Galaxy, you aren't going to enjoy this and you MUST step up your game for the next show!
As always the show is wrapped up with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award.
This is our last show for a few weeks as the lads are off on holiday. So be sure to check the show out and be sure to get all your Top Trumps and Try Hard nominations in for the next show!

I'm skimming around a bit, but the star wars section had me in absolute stitches.
'I've forced you waste valuable seconds you could use escaping the death star!'
MFX128 – An Ichiban Misunderstanding.
The boys are back in town!! That's right you lucky people your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps are back taking a look at this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The lads discuss Caitlyn Jenner and the season premiere of the new season of South Park and why not being a fan of Caitlyn Jenner doesn't make you anti-transgender, it just makes you anti all things Kardashian – and that's a good thing. Also they wonder if their new series, I Am Duckman, will be as big a hit as I Am Cait. Answer, probably not.
Then Sir Ian has tales from his trip to America and in particular his visit to a 'health spa' which may or may not have been an erotic massage parlour. Listen to the story and then draw your own conclusions.
There's talk about David Cameron and Pig Gate, Sir Ian goes around the world in a drunken haze, Duckman talks his upcoming meeting in Glasgow with MFX Asian correspondent Marc Abrigo and other MFXers, plus there's more bad fan fiction reading, and the MFX Galaxy fight back with their Top Trumps movie trivia questions for Sir Ian.
The show is wrapped up once again with another hard fought edition of the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award.
This is a really fun show, loads of good stories from Sir Ian's trip to America and plenty of laughs to be had as the lads get back into the MFX groove after a few weeks off.

Corking show lads, so funny I almost crashed my bike on my cycle to work.
Your delivery of Behind The Ruler had me in tears. #breakingkeyfabe
I think you may need to stagger the Top Trumps questions questions to be easy-hard-ridiculous-repeat. I 'm sure I picked up a bit of petulance from Sir ian when he went like 5 misses in a row.
I was mildly shocked at no Rugby World Cup chat though - next show you have to talk about it! (Especially aftwer the Wales/England game last saturday... muwahahahahahahaha)
Thanks Bammer.
Yeah, glad you enjoyed the Behind the Ruler stuff. Had us in stitches - we love stuff like that from you guys, makes our job much easier!
I enjoy hearing Ian squirm and getting annoyed when he can't get the questions right - so I enjoyed this edition of Top Trumps a lot! I'll be updating everything MFX related on here tonight. The questions are up to you guys, make 'em as tough or as easy as you like (the tougher the better though!) :D
Rugby World Cup chat was on the list but we ran out of time. But yeah, it'll be on the next show - especially after this weekend's matches which are going to be HUGE!
MFX129 – Drug Fuelled Sex Heart Attacks.
MFX is back. Your lives just improved immeasurably. You're welcome. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
The Kardashians are all over the news thanks to Lamar Odom and his $75,000 4 day, drug fuelled bender in a Vegas brothel. The lads have plenty to say on this whole messed up situation.
Plus the lads ramble about the Rugby World Cup, the recent European Championship football qualifiers, their favourite TV shows of the year and more. Plus Duckman deals with noisy neighbours in the only way he know how.
There's even some wrestling chat on the show this week, but it's mostly about why neither of them have watched WWE Raw for over a year. Duckman hypes NXT and tries to explain why watching WWE is such a massive waste of time these days.
Sir Ian learns Playboy will no longer show naked women and shows off his movie knowledge by naming IMDBs best movies of the past 25 years. As always the show is wrapped up with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award.
Thanks for listening, be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels and spread the word of MFX via social media and with your friends and family.

Good points Jack! Cheers for the feedback buddy, much appreciated.
Am home and finally getting to listen to this - hoping it's a massive cure for jetlag because I feel worse than when I got there :(
Awesome show lads;
Corbyn Vs. Boris Johnson at PMQ's = MONEY! Book it for Wrestlemania.
Sir Ian no selling, indeed HOGANING the World Cup? There's very few things the Welsh get to celebrate in the world of sport! Damn you Sir Ian Trumps! *Shakes fist like 1920's movie villain*
George The Animal Peel - you are the legend of MFX legends.
Japan hijinks -I'll send you in a few of the better drunken stories, though for some of the REALLY bad one's we may have to wait for statute of limitations to run out.
Sorry Duckers, but I agree with Trumps in regards to Mad Max. It was a phenomenal achievement in terms of SFX, production and choreography... but I want PLOT from a movie. If they'd focused a bit more on the whole "Perfect son" of the Warboyz storyline it may have been better, but it was essentially one long action sequence, I want excellent plot from a movie too.
Try Hard Ruler - Wellll Wellll Wellll... look who's reapin' what they sow Duckers. You supplant one Tyrant, only for another to rise in his place, and one who is inifinitely more evil and iron fisted than myself. You're essentially the Tony Blair of Podcasting now.
Classic show lads :) Can't wait for the next one!
MFX130 – The Adventures of Tokyo Sexwale and The Welsh Mantis
Happy Halloween everyone! You know what's really scary? We've managed to do more than one show in a calendar month! That's right folks, MFX is back and we're bringing the funny like never before. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
It's mayhem from the off as Sir Ian is stuck in traffic and Duckman has to handle the first 20 minutes of the show with the help of a four man panel of former MFX regulars who bring terrible quips, peach chat, a long running murder investigation, psychotic behaviour and a loaded handgun to the show. Yep, it's one of those episodes guys.
Thankfully Sir Ian does make it to the MFX studio in time to rescue Duckman and what follows is another 3 hours of unbridled entertainment in a podcast like format. There's tons of chat about the new Star Wars trailer, Duckman and his work mates have a night of high jinks, there's WWE talk, crazy Saudi Princes, listener tales from Japan, a new Welsh superhero, FIFA chat, plus Top Trumps returns and the Try Hard Ruler Award is a hard fought battle with one damn funny story coming out on top.

Alright you filthy animals – it's time for the final MFX show of 2015. So join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse this weird world we live in. On the show this week...
Sir Ian gives a spoiler free review of Stars Wars: The Force Awakens. Don't worry folks, no plot points discussed or revealed here, so no worries about listening if you haven't seen the movie yet.
Duckman has his review of the MFX Scotland meet up with Marc Abrigo and the Scottish MFX listeners. They talk Marc's ability to handle drink, meeting up with listeners, the NXT show they all went to and loads more. Plus we hear about Sir Ian's Christmas work night out and the arse he made of himself.
There's tons of wrestling chat on the show this week, with TLC and Roman Reigns Title win being covered, plus Sir Ian offers his ideas for how WWE could improve and Duckman chimes in with his own thoughts too.
Plus they talk the football season so far, Jose Mourinho being sacked, what's going wrong with Man Utd and what's gone right with Leicester.
They wrap the show up by awarding the Try Hard Ruler of the YEAR! That's right, they lads go back through all the previous winners of the Try Hard Ruler of the Week, and pick the story that they believe deserves to be the Try Hard Ruler of the Year!
This is our final show of 2015. Thank you to everyone who has listened to and supported MFX this year. We couldn't do this without you nerds, so thanks for that! We'll see you in 2016 and be sure to also check out the MFX Xmas Special: Rybitch To The Future.

MFX133 – We're covered in Fun Batter.
Big show this week folks. A new segment on the show, tons of pro-wrestling chat, a spoiler filled discussion of Creed and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Plus Duckman agrees to review Sunny's new porno for a future show and Sir Ian revels in the fact he won't have to.

MFX134 – I Love You Shame.
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they talking pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
The lads mark out over so much ridiculous stuff this week. The Adam Johnson trial leads them to select a football team of famous sex offenders. Yep, it's one of THOSE shows.
There's tons of pro wrestling chat about Daniel Bryan's retirement, concussions in sport and the future of combat/contact sports. Sometimes MFX get serious and this is one of those times.
Don't worry, the laughs come back as the lads talk Titus O'Neil getting on the wrong side of Vince – loads of crazy Vince this week. They talk Wade Barrett's future and Rybitch chimes in with his take on the situation and explains why it's so difficult for him to get the right pants on RAW.
The lads have two matches for MFX Alternative Audio this week. So be sure to click the links and listen along as they commentate on two terrible matches from TNA's past:
Kris Lewie v Gunner:

Garret Bischoff and Wes Briscoe vs. Chavo and Hernandez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4dFWIjlP0g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4dFWIjlP0g)
Duckman reviews Sunny's porn movie and regrets every moment of it.
There's also your emails, some football chat and the show is wrapped up with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award – which involves a failed attempt to rob a condom machine in Germany and Gary Glitter once again being the scourge of a primary school.
We always say the show is fun, but this is easily the most fun we've had doing a show in months. So check it out, leave some feedback and spread the word of MFX through social media. This is a special show for sure.
Thanks for listening.

I am currently listening to you building Nonse_sense utd. I HAVE NEVER laughed so hard ~ and you avoided the Brass Eye Paedogeddon gaiz. This is why you guys are the best!
MFX135 – Row-Man and Dingy Fight The Monster (Fastlane Commentary Show)
It's that time of the month again – WWE have a PPV and Duckman and Sir Ian watch the show and comment in real time. It's Fastlane, the last PPV before WrestleMania, so expect a few rubbish matches, a twenty-minute RAW segment that goes on far too long and plenty of giggles as Duckman and Sir Ian bring their own brand of commentary to a WWE show.
There's an appearance and song by Rybitch and Jeff Nero Hardy – inspired by the booking leading up to Fastlane, it's called Re-Imagine and it's amazing.
Then Sir Ian arrives to save Duckman and they get on with watching Fastlane and marking out at so much fun stuff. You haven't enjoyed a WWE PPV until you've listened to it with MFX commentary. So sync up your video of Fastlane and let Duckman and Sir Ian improve a WWE PPV by 500%

MFX136 – Hulk Hogan vs. The Gobbledy Gawker.
The lads have been off air for a month, but they're back with a Hogan filled riot of a show and some big news about the new home of MFX!
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
The lads hit the ground running with chat about Cuba Gooding Jnr, John Travolta, scientology and more! Plus they announce their new home – The Misfits Podcast Network!! The perfect place for MFX to ply their trade!
There's tons on the Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker trial, we learn about the difference between Terry Bollea and Hulk Hogan (turns out it's about 7 inches) and so much more from the trial of the century!
The lads preview WrestleMania 32 in their own inimitable fashion – tons of laughs and plenty of scorn for Dolph Ziggler's stand-up comedy career. Every match on the biggest show of the year is dissected in a MFX style!
MFX Alternative Audio link is here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2iazr_hulk-hogan-vs-the-ultimate-warrior_sport (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2iazr_hulk-hogan-vs-the-ultimate-warrior_sport) and you should watch this match as it's one of Hulk Hogan's true classics! You get a count down from 5 after the intro music to get the video ready and listen along to our commentary!
The show, as always, is wrapped up with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week. Three tragic stories, only one winner!
A fun show from start to finish, with plenty of laughs and loads of Hulk Hogan related shenanigans – what's not to love?

Alright folks, MFX136 is now up on Sound Cloud, as part of the new home of MFX - The Misfits Podcast Network. Check the show out here, leave a 'like' or a review or listen to the show here, as it'll help our figures on the new network:
https://soundcloud.com/the-misfits-network/mfx-ep-136-hulk-hogan-vs-the-gobbledy-gawker
Eoin and Niamh are common enough names in Ireland... just be grateful they didn't add a "g" and a "h" in Eoin's name, Ive seen that done you know!
The introduction and explanation for the move was very entertaining. I liked the stuff about Cuba Gooding Jr and Ron L Hubbard.
The Hulk Hogan stuff not so much, but that is not your fault. Cunts like Donald Trump have taken the humor out of buffoonery for me, so gobshites like Hogan just don't amuse me anymore. Having said that, I agree with the verdict of the trial based on your breakdown (the figures, I'm not sure about, but interesting breakdown on those also). But yeah the whole trial segment was interesting to me.
The Wrestelmania preview, while it's not a subject that hugely interests me, it was interesting to get perspective from people who watch the show. I don't think I've watched any WWE since the Rumble.
That's as far as I've got so far.
You know it's bad when Trump has taken the fun out of Hogan!! Bad times DQ, bad times!
Thanks for the feedback and for listening too - we really appreciate it.
Will be recording our WM32 alternative audio (without the silly American accents) on Monday. So even if you don't watch WWE, you might get a few minutes of entertaining stuff from us within a 4 hour show!!
MFX137 – WrestleMania 32 Alternative Audio Show
Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
Well it's finally here. After many, many confusing and disappointing miles, we've made it to the end of the road...it's WRESTLEMANIA, baby!!!! The biggest show in WWE history for gate receipts and number of tickets sold has had us on a rocky road, but with the showcase of the immortals finally here, it's time to sit back, sync up your version of WrestleMania 32 with our audio and experience WrestleMania 32 as we do – LIVE!
This'll be our longest show ever, with WrestleMania 32 clocking in at over 4 hours long! Will Roman Reigns' skeleton be shaken from his body due to the booing of 85,000 fans? Just how tanned will HHH be? And just how ridiculous will his entrance end up being? Will Shane McMahon jump off something high and will The Rock cut a movie promoting promo of epic proportions?
Join us as we answer these questions and more! It's time for WrestleMania 32, please forgive the lads for any mark out moments, there's bound to be a few! Hopefully...
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

you giggling at Miz's face and subsequent fall had me giggling.
Also Trumps is far too good at predicting this shit.
Top notch guys, enjoyed it.
Cheers lads, glad you enjoyed the show! Next time, if WM goes nearly 5 hours like this one did, we'll record during the day - and maybe break for some coffee during it!
Anyway, thanks for listening folks, we really appreciate it.

MFX138 – Shut Up Hitler.
It's been a long month but your worries are about to disappear and the entertainment factor in your life is going to go off the scale – cause MFX is back, baby! Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
The lads hit the ground running with some chat about whether or not Britain should stay in the EU. Don't worry it's more fun than it sounds! They cover all the recent celebrity deaths, which is pretty morbid but we can't not talk about it – everyone famous is dying!
They answer all your emails, with tales of school yard pranks, like pooping in school bags and a real kids Fight Club!
Duckman runs down some of his favourite TV show of the year. Sir Ian reviews Superman vs. Batman. They talk the Rouge One trailer and Captain America 3: Civil War. Plus Duckman tries to keep Sir Ian on track when it comes to following all the superhero movies and universes we now have.
There's plenty of pro wrestling talk with the recent episodes of WWE Raw discussed, the good, bad and ugly since WrestleMania is given the MFX treatment. They talk WWE's depth of talent they now have lined up, plus they preview Payback. There's even some talk on TNA's long term future...yep.
MFX Alternative Audio is back with one of the worst matches EVER. Shelly Martinez vs Rebel from recent TNA all Knockouts PPV. The amount of botches and side boob on show is truly stunning. Here's the match for you to watch as Dirk Boogerpants and Chet Awesome commentate on this abomination of a match:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUQihamFQyE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUQihamFQyE)
The show is wrapped up as usual with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award. Four cracking stories this week, with Wayne Rooney flag confusion, a burning shack, a racist bot and a dumb coke head all in the run for the award!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

MFX139 – The Last Ballad of Rybitch.
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
There's been the annual spring clean of WWE's jobber talent, so the lads discuss all the recent firings and get an exclusive interview with Rybitch on his recent failed contract negotiations with Vince McMahon and what the future holds for The Big Guy – it involves living in a cardboard box.
With all the WWE chatter out of the way, the lads answer your emails – with three cracking news stories sent in involving the public renaming a local school, a Nazi dog, a ridiculously named Policeman and a sex toy mistaken for an angel, that leave the lads laughing so much they almost choke to death!
One of the weirdest matches we've ever seen has been sent in for this week's MFX Alternative Audio. It's from Japan, there's a ladder that's the champion and so much weirdness. Here's the match for you to watch as Dirk Boogerpants and Chet Awesome commentate on this bizarre match:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xpzla4_battle-royal-ddt-ironman-heavymetalweight-championship_fun (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xpzla4_battle-royal-ddt-ironman-heavymetalweight-championship_fun)
The show is wrapped up as usual with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award. Three terrible nominations (including dead dogs, a fraudulent house purchase, a tweet and a woman mistaking a midget for a child) and one that saves the day – thank God as the show was going off a cliff big time!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

MFX140 – Brand Splits, Sex Salads and Civil War.
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
This show was recorded before RAW this week (so no chat about John Cena's return and his big angle with AJ Styles). There's tons of wrestling chat to kick the show off this week, with loads on the 'New Era' in WWE, the Roman Reigns Project, Seth Rollins making his return from injury, Cody Rhodes leaving WWE, the brand split and the weird news that the co-founder of PayPal has been funding Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker. Plenty of insight and laughs here.
The lads answer all your emails, which leads them to tons of Simpsons quotes. They debate who should be Brock Lesnar's opponent at WrestleMania 32. Plus, they mark out like crazy over Captain America 3: Civil War. There's so much love for this movie it's downright sickening.
The show is wrapped up as usual with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award. Four cracking stories this week including a statue destroying selfie addict, a grammatical mistake that ends up with all Texas Republicans being called gay, by the Republican Party, there's some terrible parenting and a vegan failing to climb a mountain.
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

The biggest party of the summer is here and the lads are joined by three weirdos to lend their expertise to their review of the show. It doesn't go well. The lads talk the Olympics and a little politics before Duckman has a story about his brother and a drunk old woman at his back door. After all that it's time for Summerslam...four hours of Summerslam. Don't worry, we skipped some of the crappier stuff! There's good matches, bad matches, boring matches and some work/shoot Brock Lesnar shenanigans! As always, the lads constantly veer off topic and bring the funny like no one else.

After five long months off air, the lads are back and they're better than ever...well no worse than they were on the last show. With Sir Ian being a new father and Duckman spending Christmas with an ill family, there's plenty of catching up to do. The lads talk Sir Ian's son, the election of Donald Trump and so much more.
Then they move onto their live commentary of the WWE Royal Rumble 2017. The lads have been looking forward to making their triumphant return, but will the WWE's first big show of the year live up to the hype? You'll have to listen to find out! As always, there's plenty of tangents wandered down, jokes make at the expense of others and plenty of laughs had. That's right baby, we're back!!

Sweet, I'll give it a listen tonight
MFX144 – Seth Rollins is...The Estate Agent.
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
What's this, an MFX podcast? But we only got to hear the last one 6 weeks ago! Well you're in luck folks because a gap in their busy playboy lifestyles means the lads are back with an MFX show so packed full of pro wrestling and pop culture chat that it should come with a government health warning!
The lads discuss Duckman's birthday – which is today! They then get stuck into an indepth preview of WrestleMania. They talk all the matches, the feuds and plenty more – including giving Seth Rollins an even more boring nickname than he already has, plus Sami Zayn gets a new gig working for a psychotic John Cena. Ah, it's good to have MFX back.
Plus there's time for an update on the new IMPACT wrestling and some chat about what the future could hold for that permanently sinking ship.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!

MFX146 – The Many Voice Mails of Triple H
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
Happy Easter MFX Galaxy! Just like Jesus, we've decided to rise up today, but we're better than Jesus cause we've got an awesome podcast to offer the world. And what a podcast it is! Duckman and Sir Ian talk kids and Ian's first 8 months as a Dad and Duckman's sixth year as an Uncle. Lots of fun.
Then it's time to talk wrestling. The lads run down WrestleMania weekend...yeah it's late, but you've not heard WrestleMania reviewed until it's been reviewed by MFX! They talk the Raw after Mania, the superstar shake up (or the jobber juggle as it's forever known) and tons more.
There's talk about HHH's reaction to the Paige and Brad Maddox sex tapes. Let's just say Trips isn't taking the news well. Plus they give their take on the JBL/Mauro Ranello situation. The show is wrapped up as the lads discuss all their recent favourite movie trailers – it's been TrailerMania baby! Plus Sir Ian educates Duckman on the wonder of Stephen King.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

Listening to the latest episode now, been really fun so far. Glad you guys are back!
Hey man, thanks for listening! Glad you're enjoying the show and it's good to be back!
1. No love for the Alien: Covenant trailer in the hype discussion? Sad. (Maybe I'm just being a delusional Alien fanboy, but this one actually looks like a return to form.)
2. The HHH voicemails were awesome. But it needed a Gameboy cameo somewhere, somehow. I mean we had a Nee Nor reference but no Gameboy? Sad.
All ribbing aside, was great to have you guys back again. I need moar MFX in my life.
Cheers Ferg! What did you make of The Last Jedi trailer? I didn't even know there was a new Alien film coming out! I couldn't finish Prometheus so my interest levels on that franchise are pretty low. I'll check it out though, once I stop watching the Thor trailer over and over!!
I'm sure Gameboy will reappear at some point...knowing him there's more to this story than meets the eye!
Cheers for listening and the feedback. We really appreciate it. Hopefully now life is settling down a bit for Ian and his family, we can get a show more regularly. Maybe once a month, but I'd like to aim for one every 2 weeks if we can. We'll see how it goes.

Obviously it's just a teaser, but what they showed looked pretty damn good. When Drunkferg watched it, he may have thrown money at the computer screen.
QuoteI didn't even know there was a new Alien film coming out! I couldn't finish Prometheus so my interest levels on that franchise are pretty low. I'll check it out though, once I stop watching the Thor trailer over and over!!
It's coming out next month.
Don't blame you on Prometheus. That film was... not the best. Better than the Alien vs Predator films, but that's not a high bar to set. TBH though, I'm not really sure you can call Prometheus an actual Alien film. There was a lot of behind the scenes drama with that, where it started as an Alien prequel, then they decided it wasn't going to be one, then changed their minds again and that schitzophrenia definitely bled into the final product. This one, while unfortunately a direct sequel to that, looks a lot better. It's probably not going to be as good as the original two... but hopefully will be better than the rest.
Cool man, I'll check it out. Watching Prometheus you could just see the studio notes, re-writes and changes in tone etc coming right off the screen. It was almost as confused as I was after watching it!
I heard the best Alien related thing recently was that scary as hell game they put out. I'm too much of a wuss to play it, but I heard that's been the thing that Alien fans have loved - as opposed to these poor movies they keep putting out.
Caught up on this last night, good to hear you both back again.
Awesome man, thanks for listening to our silly ramblings!
MFX147 – The One Where We Insult Everyone.
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
Aw man do we have a great show for you lucky MFXers! The lads dive straight into controversy as they discuss Charlotte Flair's leaked nudes and Stephen Fry being all blasphemous and stuff. Sir Ian then tells his story of attending the Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko fight at Wembley. This is the kind of live review you could only get with MFX. Then it's Duckman's turn to give his report on WWE Smackdown Live in Glasgow - his nephew's first ever live wrestling show!
Sir Ian reviews Payback because Duckman couldn't be arsed to watch it! We get plenty on the WrestleCrap worthy House of Horrors match and loads of WWE chat. The lads also go through the leaked first script for the movie on Vince McMahon's life. Even they couldn't come up with something as weird and wacky as this.
Then they wrap the show up with a quick and slightly spoiler filled review of the AWESOME Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels. Shar the shit out of this show people! Get your social media rocking and spread the word of MFX!

MFX 147 Phrases that pay:
- "Anatomically curious"
- "LGBTV"
- "British Columbia Beta"
- "Hitler Youth gone wild"
- "Hardy Five Going Live"
- "He calls this one Babies in the Woods"
- "No walls are safe when we're around"
LOL! Some of those are so weird when they're out of context. Actually they're usually pretty weird in context as well!
Nice work Alex. Thanks for listening man.
MFX148 – I'm More of a Groomed Binger.
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
Holy crap – 2 shows in a week!? The hell is going on? Well, with the world in ever increasing levels of chaos, we thought why not add to that by posting a new MFX show? And holy mother of God to we have a GREAT show for you. The lads kick off with tales of drunken Sir Ian on the rampage and Duckman has a new nemesis. They answer listener emails that take in politics, sport and wrestling.
The middle of the show is wrestling chat heavy. Plenty on RAW's terrible rating, Braun Strowman's injury and what that means for the new few months of main events. The lads talk the destruction of the worth of titles in WWE, plus they wonder if it's time for another revolution in wrestling on TV and what form that might take.
For some reason Rybitch is back on the show. He's debuting his new a segment called Around About with Rybitch. This week, he's investigating the real reason for Donald Trump firing James Comey. Don't get too excited though, he has no idea what he's doing...obviously.
The lads wrap up the show with the funniest Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award in the history of the show. Four awesome stories, some serious try hard behaviour and Duckman and Sir Ian lose their shit as chaos ensues.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!

Hey folks. So we're aiming to record a new show this weekend. Plenty of wrestling and real world stuff to talk about for sure. Still, it's always good when you guys get in touch. So if you've got feedback, topics for discussion, questions etc that you'd like us to cover - leave 'em here, drop us a line on Twitter or Facebook.
We're also looking for Try Hard nominations for the show. Have you seen a news story that you think is truly Try Hard (someone trying to do something positive, that ends up being a big negative) then send us the details to mfx.show@gmail.com and see if you can impress Sir Ian and win the Try Hard Ruler of the Week!
The show is always better when you guys get involved. So don't be scared homies, drop us a line and get involved with MFX!
Cheers.
MFX149 – You Shouldn't Put Your Spinner There.
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
It's been a tough week for the UK after the terror attack in Manchester. The lads discuss this latest horror and send their love to the people of Manchester. They couldn't do the show this week and not address this terrible incident.
The lads talk about the passing of Sir Roger Moore, their memories of him as James Bond and Sir Ian shares a fun story about the time he didn't meet him. Trust us, it'll make sense when you listen. There's a story about a young man doing something inappropriate with one of those spinner things the kids are into these days – which is just dumb enough to cheer everyone up after the heavy opening to the show.
There's tons of wrestling chat this week – reviews of Backlash and NXT Takeover Chicago, plus talk about WWE's declining TV ratings, plenty of dog related puns for Roman Reigns. Plus Randy Orton vs. Indy workers and more! This is the fun part of the show, plenty of laughs to be had here.
They wrap the show up with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award, which is a two horse race of racism vs. stupidity.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

Didn't get a chance to do my "Phrases That Pay" this show, but I did listen. Great stuff all around, thankful to see and hear the way people get together when tragedies like this happen. Wrestling chat is great as always, as an indie fan I always find a bit of humor in the "big leagues" taking shots at the people that eventually get signed and called up. "Kevin Steen doesn't fit the WWE mold, he'll never make it th--oh, hi Kevin Owens"
Nice one Alex, thanks for listening. Yeah, I'm the same as you. I've watched these guys crush it for years on the indie scene and constantly be told they can't make it in WWE. Now pretty much all their top stars on RAW and SD came from the indie scene (bar a couple of exceptions of course). It does make me chuckle!
Also, we're recording a new show tomorrow (Friday 7pm UK time) so if you want to get involved with the show, now is the time to do it! We're looking for topics of discussion, feedback, questions and Try Hard Ruler of the Week nominations. You can email us at mfx.show@gmail.com or send me a DM here, on Facebook or tweet us @MFXPodcast
The show is always better when you guys get involved, so drop us a line and be a part of MFX Ep 150!! Man, crazy to think we've now done 150 episodes of this show.
MFX150 – Mavericks of the Airways.
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
It's been a big week of news and MFX is here to break down the UK General Election, or as it will forever be known as; Teressa May's Biblical F**k Up. The lads give their thoughts on the campaign, the outcome, what it means for the future and talk about running through fields of wheat far too much.
You sent in loads of emails, so the lads have plenty of random things to talk about. Sir Ian continues his heel turn on the beloved Marc Abrigo, there's DC v Marvel chat, 90s TV and tons more.
The wrestling chat this week is all about WWE Extreme Rules and how much it sucked, apart from the main event obviously. The lads discuss Brock v Joe, have more fun at the fact WWE's next PPV is called Great Balls of Fire! There's a quick recap of the main happenings on RAW, before Duckman gushes about the New Japan Best of the Super Juniors Tournament.
The show is wrapped up as always with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award. No surprises who won this week.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!

MFX151 – Jumping Admiral Ackbar on a Jet Ski
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
What happens when the lads get no sleep, get bored out of their minds by WWE and try to do a wrestling related podcast? This, this show right here is what happens. It doesn't just go off the rails, it digs them up and throws them in the air with gleeful abandon.
The lads kick off complaining about WWE's creative direction (or lack their of) but turn to much more fun things like the new Netflix show GLOW, McGregor v Mayweather and the latest trouble with the Han Solo origin movie. The lads fly off on tangents that hopefully entertain and if they don't, at least they pass a bit of time.
There's your emails to answer and WWE shows to review. Sir Ian rants on the movie Green Street and the terrible accents in it. There's Money in the Bank reviewed and some chat about RAW and Smackdown and how much they all sucked. Duckman tries to crowbar in some NJPW news as well to offset all the negative moaning.
The show is rounded off as always with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week, which this week is a four way battle and Rybitch decides to drop by and lend his 'expertise' to the segment.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!

Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
Time for some politics chat to kick things off this week as the lads tear into Donald Trump Jnr and his idiotic behaviour. This leads them onto a discussion about whether or not we live in the most superficial and stupid time in human history. Don't worry, it's more fun than it sounds! The lads cover the latest shenanigans in the media circus that is Mayweather vs. McGregor.
All your emails are answered, some weird stories covered this week, plus the lads dabble in a little WrestleMania fantasy booking. Then it's time for the wrestling chat for this week's show. A full review of WWE Great Balls of Fire and some detailed RAW chat – plus the lads and the MFX Galaxy try to guess what Kurt Angle's big secret is.
As always the show is wrapped up with a highly controversial Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award.

MFX153 – The Sir Ian With the Mid Life Crisis Tattoo
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
It's been a few weeks since the last show and despite the best efforts of Fuckface Von Clownstick and his chubby Korean counterpart, the world hasn't ended...yet. The lads discuss the world we live in and whether this could be the beginning of the end. Don't worry it's not as dramatic and downbeat as it sounds. They kick the funny into a higher gear as Sir Ian and his wife get tattoos. Sir Ian couldn't be more of his element if he tried.
There's tons of pop culture chat on the Netflix series GLOW, on other great TV shows the lads have watched recently. Plus the MFX Galaxy set the tone for the show with their suggestions for topics of discussion including bad food experiences, Disco Inferno being a sad perv and so much more! They also answer your emails which is always fun.
The lads preview WWE Summerslam and talk the build to all the matches and what they've liked and disliked. There's an in-depth chat about WWE's recent booking and how it's left the lads feeling really bored.
As always the show is wrapped up with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award. It's a four way battle between dumb kids, dumber kids, Pokémon type nonsense and a man with a broken heart.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!

Great show, guys. I will admit that as I sent you the Pokemon GO nomination I suspected it would be too nerdy for consideration, but more to the point I love that Ian somehow knew it was me who sent it lol.
Alright troops - new show recording tomorrow! Give us your thoughts on WWE's shows from the weekend. Any other topics of discussion, questions and anything else you want to share with the MFX Galaxy.

MFX154 – MFX Men: Tales of Hound Dog Past
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
Full disclosure here folks: Duckman was pretty stoned during this show. Unprofessional? Maybe. A damn good time? Always! The lads kick off with chat about the show becoming the new official podcast of Canadian passports (it makes sense when you hear it), there's a preview of some fight that's happening this weekend, not sure if you guys have heard about it. Duckman reviews The Defenders and finally gets round to watching Logan – safe to say he loved them both.
There's all your emails answered, with funny stories, drunken tales, Sir Ian being a hound dog and plenty more. One of the most fun parts of the show as always – you get should get involved with MFX all the time.
Then it's time for the WWE chat section of the show. NXT Takeover and Summerslam are reviewed with one show being awesome and the other not so much.
As always the show is wrapped up with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award. It's a straight shootout between a dumb pervert and some hunters.
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

MFX155 – One for the Humanoids.
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
It's been a month since the last show and the lads are back with a bang. Sir Ian is a roving podcaster this week, with him doing some of the show from his garden...seriously. They hit the ground running with some talk about Donald Trump and the NFL protests. MFX always takes a knee. Then there's a long and loving tribute to the late Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan – the greatest wrestling manager and colour commentator of all time.
Sir Ian talks IT and Stephen King. Duckman talks Rick and Morty. They love both and agree to trade their interests, with Duckman manning up to read IT and Ian getting the much less terrifying task of watching the INCREDIBLE Rick and Morty!
We've got tons of wrestling chat this week with your emails answered, a full review of WWE No Mercy PPV, some thoughts on RAW and more!
The show is wrapped up with a four way battle for the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award. Four ridiculous stories, plenty of laughs and stupidity all round - the perfect way to end a MFX show!
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.

MFX156 – Tuberculous, Leprosy and Chlamydia – OH MY!
It's that time once again – MFX is back to bring you the kind of loosely based around pro wrestling podcast that will tickle your funny bone until you squirt. Join your heroes Duckman and Sir Ian Trumps as they traverse the week in pro wrestling, pop culture and everything in between. On the show this week...
The lads are back after a month off and there's TONS of stuff for them to get their teeth into this week. The Harvey Weinstein horror show is discussed. Look, it's not a fun subject but we've got to talk about it. Sadly. Things pick up with some chat on the Star Wars Last Jedi and Black Panther trailers, plus there's an update on Sir Ian's viewing of Rick and Morty and Duckman's adventure reading Stephen King's IT for the first time.
Your emails are answered and we learn that NODQ.com has committed the ultimate crime against us – GIMMICK INFRINGEMENT!! The lads take a look at footballer's old social media profiles and decide which one they are going to go on a date with.
There's a full review of WWE's TLC PPV complete with Booker T mental breakdown, talk about the follow up Monday Night Raw and what the WWE have planned for Survivor Series. There's loads of talk about WWE v Bullet Club, Booker T's early onset dementia commentary and so much more. Plus the really big story of the week – THE IMPACT PIZZA!!!!
The show is wrapped up as always with the Try Hard Ruler of the Week Award. It's a 3-way fight between some coke heads, an annoying Mums Net user with a parking issue and one of the craziest penalties in football history!
So sit back, relax and get your ear holes primed for some seriously entertaining MFX goodness. The pro wrestling podcast that's so good, you don't even need to like pro wrestling to enjoy it!
As always thanks for listening and be sure to get involved with the show through all the usual channels.
