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.

    Booking a Womens Continental Classic

    Join us for another episode of Cruising with Kayfabe as Emily and Mongo are back talking all things wrestling from last night’s Dynamite, the ongoing build toward AEW’s biggest stories, and where things are heading next. We get into our own “booker hat” mode this week as we each put together a Women’s Continental Classic field, break down the leagues, pick our final four, and debate who we think should actually win it all. From there we shift into fantasy booking a dream PPV, mixing current roster ideas with matchups we’d love to see and how we’d build it if we were in charge for a night. We also talk through some classic wrestling pet peeves, those little booking habits that always seem to show up in wrestling, and why they still get under fans’ skin. It’s a mix of Dynamite recap, fantasy booking, and honest wrestling talk the way we like to do it on Cruising with Kayfabe. For more information and an AD free experience visit CWKPOD.COM
