Down Under The Mat Podcast

It's properly WrestleMania SZN now and it's time for Reece and Dan to put up their PREDICTIONS for who will win on the Grandest Stage of them ALL!  We go through match by match on the winners, the stories and what we would book coming out of WM 42 in Vegas - including some crazy theories for Orton and McAfee, Rhea and even some NXT call ups!  Let us know in the comments your thoughts on our picks and Mania in general, and come by our FREE discord to talk all things wrestling this weekend! We'd love to hear from you!  DISCORD - https://discord.gg/PW6DFDC5 

What even was this SmackDown? Why is a 14 time world champion asking a podcaster (yes we know the irony) to help him "save the business" of professional wrestling? Why are we getting Seth v Gunther? Why do they keep teasing us with Oba v Brock? Why is Danhousen the best thing on WWE TV lately? Are you more or less excited about WrestleMania after this week?   Come let Reece and Dan know in the comments or our FREE to join discord! 2 weeks to go! ... Also, Jericho is back as the "cornerstone" of AEW. Should he have gone to WWE instead, or would TKO have just fumbled that too? Follow us on socials!

This week Rowdy Daddy Reecey and Dan-housen Daniel-son chat all things professional wrestling from MSG! We discuss the two MAIN EVENTS of WrestleMania and which one has the most momentum now - is it "Old Man" Punk and "Oiled and Jizzed" Roman Reigns, or "Tweener" Randy Orton and "Everyone's over" Cody Rhodes? We also pitch some fantastic plans for the women's IC and US titles for post WrestleMania (spoiler, it's probably Sol Ruca) and give Jelly Roll his flowers for really taking to Smackdown like a champion! Let us know your thoughts on the shows this week, and come pitch us the rest of your Mania card either in the comments, or on our FREE to join discord! Links below!

WE ARE BACK! After a couple of weeks off for Rowdy Daddy Reecey to introduce his son to the world, we are back in Madison Square Garage to talk wrestling and boy oh boy has a lot changed in the last few weeks! Cody is champ, Randy is heel. Seth likes dancing in hoodies with strange men. Punk and Roman has gotten mid. WWE has forgotten how to book Women properly. Rhea and Jade suuuuuucks (so far). Jelly Roll is back to have a Mania match and make  @MrSantiZap  oil up? And from not WWE news, Lena Kross is an AEW champion, Hangman can't challenge for the #AEW title again, Ospreay is back and Ricochet is still a douche on twitter! Soooooo much to talk about so please give us a like and subscribe and come chat on our discord if you also love professional wrestling! And, come congratulate Reecey on becoming a Dad! ----more--------more----

Dan and Reece are in MSG today to break down the Elimination Chamber PLE and all it's... matches?... and... returns.... and.... ads? Was this a mid PLE? Where the winners "too obvious" for all the matches? Was the surprise from the crate very disappointing and very mid, and not very nice and very evil?! Let us know your thoughts in the comments and on our discord!

Reece and Dan are in MSG this week to talk ALL THINGS professional wrestling, but specifically the world title scenes on #Smackdown and #AEW and why they are pretty similar at the moment? We also go through the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards for 2025, who faces Jade Cargill at Wrestlemania, why the Elimination Chambers have been booked so SHOCKINGLY already (Gunther lost?!!?) and of course... WHAT'S IN THE CRATE?

On this interview special, Dan and Reece invite the Sniper of the Skies, TMDK's own ROBBIE EAGLES into Madison Square Garage to talk all things professional wrestling! We discuss his local career through  @ProWrestlingAustralia  and  @slamproleague  including his upcoming Championship match in SLAM, and the massive Colosseum event for PWA. We ask about his challenge to MJF and if the AEW Champion has the stones to face Robbie, and if he won't, what other dream matches does Robbie still have in the tank? We chat venues, NJPW, some TMDK history and much more!

Reece and Dan discuss all things wrestling this week including that INCREDIBLE CM Punk and Roman Reigns promo from RAW that could feed millions. Is it Mania already because get us to that match! We also talk AEW coming to Sydney for Grand Slam, including MJF being squashed by Brody King and if the booking of Andrade and Ciampa are direct shots back at WWE? We also talk more on the AJ Styles retirement, and give Ricochet more credit than he deserves for his stupid twitter rants. Like and subscribe and come chat on the discord! https://discord.gg/5pvT5Qk4

Dan and Reece review the 2026 Royal Rumble PLE - was it good, was it disappointing, where was Chris Jericho and Paige?! Sami fell short in Saudi again, Gunther kills another career and the predicted favourites in Roman and Liv win their respective Rumble matches. So was the show good? Where does this lead us for Elimination Chamber and then WrestleMania?? Let us know in the comments or our FREE to join Discord!

On this episode, Dan and Reece sit down after watching a really good Saturday Night's Main Event show to discuss the brilliant strong style match between AJ and Shinsuke - and is this actually the end for Styles?! We also talk about that great Finn Balor and CM Punk match, all the happenings in the Women's division (especially Jade's 7 mins of wrestling time as champion), and then give our predictions for the Royal Rumble. What surprise returns do we think we will happen, and who is going to win each Rumble?! Let us know in the comments your picks for the Rumbles and what your favourite memory of AJ Styles is - the ROH, TNA, NJPW or WWE version (or all of them?). Also don't forget to come join our discord and chat with others who love professional wrestling! FREE discord link here - https://discord.gg/gZvGQupd

Dan and Reecey sit down in relief this week to talk about Cody finally dropping the WWE title to Drew McIntyre. FINALLY!

New Year, New WWE, same Down Under The Mat?! Dan and Reece welcome you into 2026 and talk about everything we've missed over the holiday break - the NXT botched championship win, AEW's best PPV of the year (maybe), the Uso's winning the tag titles and all the call ups on Smackdown. Are we always ready?! We also talk to downfall of Mercedes Mone, if Ciampa should leave WWE and if anyone really cares if BrockLesnarGuy is "retiring" from attending wrestling shows! Leave a comment.

A very somber Dan and Reece sit down in MSG to say farewell to the G.O.A.T, the never before seen 17, the last real champion, the man who demonstrated Hustle, Loyalty and Respect to everyone - John Cena. A very fitting, and yet very controversial Saturday Nights Main Event saw the end of the storied career of John Cena. Should he have won? Should he have gone out on his back like most professional wrestlers do? Should he have never given up? Is this all HHH's fault?! We discuss Gunther tapping Cena and much more on this review. Let us know in the comment on the discord what your thoughts are on the show, and Cena's career in general!

This week in MSG, Dan and Reece sit down to talk all things wrestling tournaments with the finale of the Last Time is NOW tourney complete to give us John Cena's final opponent - The Ring General GUNTHER. Are we happy? Are we mad? Is Cena going to finally "give up"? Will it be the send off we all hope for? We also talk all things NXT Iron Survivor, the Cody Rhodes saga from Smackdown and what is happening in #AEW with the C2 tournament so far! Let us know in the comments your thoughts on the show, and if you will come hang out with us for the SNME live stream next weekend!
