Cruising With Kayfabe

Cruising With Kayfabe

Cruising with Kayfabe is a wrestling podcast hosted by husband and wife duo Mongo and Emily. What started on the Jericho Cruise evolved into a show centered on genuine conversations with fans, wrestlers, referees, and rising stars in the business. We’re not here to be critics. We’re here because we love wrestling. From AEW, NJPW, ROH, and the indies, to deep dives into storylines, wrestler bios, and the moments that keep us hooked, we bring two different fan perspectives and one shared passion. You’ll hear interviews, roundtable predictions, watch along, segments like Busted Brackets and Belts (where we set rules and determine who is the best wrestler or wrestlers in that segment), and weekly takes on what’s got us talking. It’s wrestling talk with heart, humor, and a strong style of its own.
