12/12/05 Fans, don't close your eyes just yet wrestling fans -- former two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, former nine-time WWE World Tag Team Champion, and the hottest free agent to jump ship in 2005, Christian Cage, made his first-ever appearance on The Mayhem! One of the most eye-opening & candid interviews of Christian's career and quite possibly in MNM history.

Coming off the heels of his Total Nonstop Action Pay-Per-View debut match against "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown, "Captain Charisma" discussed his departure from the WWE and what it's been like in his first month in TNA -- including why it was important for him to finish up at Taboo Tuesday & the following SmackDown for closure, whether or not "The Peep Show" will be coming to Impact anytime soon, and what the fans can expect to see from him in the new year. Will we see a continued new arsenal of moves? Who will he square off against in 2006? The answers may surprise you!

This interview is also one of the most comprehensive of Christian's career, pertaining to his time with the WWE. He breaks down what it was like getting his start with the company in The Brood (and whether or not he ever feared their ring entrance from the bowels of the arena), his own personal thoughts on the WCW/ECW Invasion angle, what is was like working with Lance Storm in the Un-American faction, his on-air relationship with Trish Stratus, & going one-on-one against "Mr. Monday Night" Rob Van Dam & Booker T -- along with several other current WWE superstars.

Christian also detailed his current friendship with his former tag-team partner, Edge -- and gave his takes on his new "shoot" persona. Cage also finally revealed which of the legendary "five-second poses" & which of his matches in Canada were his personal favorites. Does he think the WWE is in good hands with John Cena & Batista at the helm? And could he ever see himself going back "up north" in the future?

In addition, Christian gives his dirt on why he chose to take part in "The Self-Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior" DVD, his thoughts on the future of tag team wrestling, and why we may never see Chris Jericho in a wrestling ring ever again.

Peeps around the world unite, and listen to your leader on The Mayhem!

12/12/05 Look who has returned for a nice holiday surprise! It's been far too long, but after a two+ year hiatus, former WWE superstar, D-Lo Brown, joined Monday Night Mayhem for some holiday cheer and to preview Ring Of Glory's "Great Commission" show. D-Lo gave some pretty interesting insight into Vince Russo's latest venture, and why he feels the former "Anti-Christ Of Professional Wrestling" has truly changed for the better.

While catching up with Mosh & Hero for the first time since WrestleReunion II & on a small hiatus from his most recent tour of Japan, D-Lo took the fans down "The Mayhem Memory Lane" -- to 1997 & the height of the Nation Of Domination vs. DX feud. Some awesome insight into one of the hottest feuds in professional wrestling & sports-entertainment history were covered in great detail. D-Lo also described his personal relationship with Ron "Faarooq" Simmons and why he classifies Ron as his "grandfather." In addition, D-Lo gave his own takes on whether or not the WWE dropped the ball on his former tag team partner, Mark Henry, and where he sees "The World's Strongest Man" headed after his WWE contract expires. And exactly, how close were we to seeing a NOD reunion at The Great Commission? Your answers, courtesy of "Your Home Of Wrestling Radio."

In this 30+ minute interview, D-Lo also talked about why he still classifies the WWE European Championship as "his world title," his memories of working with the late "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, whether or not he sees Brock Lesnar working in Japan damaging any hopes of working with the WWE in the future, and what his fondest memory of his run in TNA is. D-Lo also becomes the first Mayhem guest to be put in "the hot seat," -- to answer the controversial topic of the WWE's new drug policy. Being in their locker room prior, does he feel this will work, or is this a matter of the company saving face after the tragic passing of Eddie Guerrero. This answer may shock you!

And, if that is not enough, in one of the most hilarious moments in Mayhem history, find out the live reaction to D-Lo receiving an e-mail on the air (from MNM) containing the highly-talked about picture of "The Macho Man" Randy Savage looking like Kris Kringle himself!

12/05/05 Good things always have a history of starting up around the same time and going together like milk & cookies -- Monday Night Mayhem was born in February 2002, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling became a reality in June 2002. As The Mayhem closed in on its four-year anniversary & with the holiday season upon us, we were honored to have the president of TNA, Dixie Carter, join The Mayhem -- with just days before TNA's last Pay-Per-View of the year!

Dixie gave her official "2005 State Of TNA Address," reflecting on the year that was in Total Nonstop Action & what's to come in 2006. From the signings of Team 3-D, Rhino, Christian Cage to the debut of TNA Impact on Spike TV, a lot has happened for the company over the past year. What does she have in store for 2K6?

Dixie also previewed the Turning Point Pay-Per-View (including more on a special surprise that will "change the face of wrestling forever), address the rumors of Chris Benoit's & Chris Jericho's possible jump to TNA, where not not she might be interested in signing Christy Hemme, the chances of seeing Round II of the "Monday Night Wars," and her uncensored thoughts on the WWE's new drug policy.

12/05/05 Former NWA World Tag Team Champion, Simon Diamond, also made his return to The Mayhem after a two-year hiatus -- and you better believe that the man known as Pat Kenney had a lot to say!

Simon broke down his upcoming Basebrawl Match at the Turning Point Pay-Per-View (The Diamonds In The Rough vs. Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt, & "The Demon" Dale Torborg w/Chicago White Sox World Series Champion, AJ Pierzynski, in their corner) and what it has been like working with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who will be the special guest commentator for his match.

He also gave his takes & thoughts on this year's ECW reunion shows (One Night Stand/Hardcore Homecoming) & whether or not we will see the "extreme" revival again in 2006, Dawn Marie's release from the WWE, Joey styles becoming the full-time play-by-play voice of Monday Night RAW, why his former tag team partner, Johnny Swinger, has not been pushed since signing with World Wrestling Entertainment, and of course...the success of the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish football team & their chances of succeeding against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. No problems here wrestling fans! Three cheers for Simon Diamond, as he stepped back into the Monday Night Mayhem squared circle!

This was a huge night in Mayhem history -- and we invite wrestling fans throughout the world to tune in & listen to just one of the reasons why "Your Home Of Wrestling Radio" is the hottest show out there!

11/30/05 A special night, a special time. Can you say Wednesday Night Mayhem? "Sweeps Month" closed out with a bang, as former two-time NWA World Tag Team Champion, Lance Hoyt, stepped foot into The Mayhem squared circle for the first time!

Lance was aboard the program to talk about TNA's upcoming primetime special & the Turning Point Pay-Per-View. In addition, Hoyt gave his takes on Kid Kash's & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes respective runs with the WWE so far, what he sees for Hoytamania in 2006, the "tale of the tape" between a battle of fantasy warfare of "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan (and Hulkamania) vs. Lance himself (and Hoytamania), and what him & talk show host, Jenny Jones, have in common.

11/21/05 On the week of Thanksgiving, there's parades, football, turkey, and pumpkin pie -- but there's always room for some Mayhem! Gobble geeble!

The man joined us for our final-ever edition of Monday Night Mayhem on broadcast radio one year ago, so we found it fitting to extend the invitation once again. He has been called "The Anti-Christ Of Professional Wrestling." By some of his harshest critics, he has been dubbed as one of the contributors who "killed" World Championship Wrestling. Controversy has followed him his entire career. Vince Russo made his triumphant return to The Mayhem!

Vince joined The Big Mosh & Blade to promote his new autobiography, "Forgiven: One Man's Journey From Self-Glorification To Satisfaction," (available through www.ECWPress.com & most major retail stores) & Ring Of Glory's upcoming event, "The Great Commission." Russo also gave his uncensored thoughts on Jim Ross' future with the WWE & why he feels his "firing" storyline went over the edge, the passing of Eddie Guerrero, who he truly feels was responsible for "The Death Of WCW," and some of his greatest memories of past WWE Survivor Series events - including the infamous "Montreal Screwjob."

Vince promised all who listened an interview for the ages, one that will silence his critics forever and answer any questions that have never been answered -- and he delivered in a huge way!
