The MxL SwapCast Network

NB: Super heavy content ahead. Just when the wrestling landscape couldn't get any more dreary, it sure did last week. Iwan and Dave are guestless on an edition of the Swapcast for the first time in a while.  And this second part of Episode 16 of the Swapcast comes off the heels of the tragic passing of Hana Kimura at the age of just 22 on May 23rd. Our hosts, not so much as podcasters, more in...

NB: Heavy content ahead.  Iwan and Dave are joined by Liam Stephens on the first of a two-part episode of the Swapcast (all will be evident as to why this is a two-parter in, well, part two...), and it's a tough week in the annals of wrestling, with a very high profile death, another death that almost slipped under the radar but didn't thanks to Iwan, two retirements of wrestlers who made...

Yep, a day early for this week's dose of #Swapcast action, you lucky people! Truth is, we're bloody knackered and need a rest, lol... Your co-hosts Iwan Mackenzie and Dave Lovell are joined by Liam Stephens (actually described as "haemorrhoids that administer their own Preparation H") and Captain Markout himself, Adam Dean, and the lads discuss the news, climbing the corporate ladd...

Two years on from witnessing Europe's biggest ever women's wrestling event, Iwan and Dave watch one of the best shows of 2018, if not the best. But they're not alone. They're joined by regular pain in the arse Liam Stephens , and also by two debuting guests. Both Andy Ogden (he of that Graps and Claps Audio fame!) and Adam Dean (he's really good at marking out) were also there...

A MEATY MEAT of a show this week, as the lads Iwan and Dave enter the time machine and for the first time in Swapcast history, do the DEEP DIVE ON A SHOW gimmick that Your Favourite Wrestling Podcast probably does a billion times better...  Two years ago, EVE (celebrating their 10th birthday in May 2020) presented their first WrestleQueendom show at the historic York Hall. Iwan and Dave attended t...

On this edition of the Swapcast Commentaries, we go Full Rippy~!. Iwan and Dave , ably assisted by the execrable shitlord himself, Liam Stephens , go to the South Coast as RIPTIDE Wrestling is given the Swapcast Commentary treatment. A breezy hour and a half in duration, this is a jewel in the crown of RIPTIDE's debut year of 2017, and you can certainly see the foundations of what would turn t...

We've honestly been threatening to do this for ages, so here it is. An empty Korakuen Hall is the venue for one of the more interesting events not just in the history of STARDOM, but wrestling in general. This edition of Swapcast Commentaries sees Iwan and Dave, again joined by Liam Stephens , witnessing one of the better Empty Arena shows in the year 2020 - the new era of empty arena shows. ...

This week, Iwan and Dave talk about graps, rant about the Fed,  and chat other random bollocks. Also present is recurring guest and top pain in the arse, Liam Stephens . On the docket: a week of birthdays, a bit of ranting, a lot of gushing, a little news and a lot of hot air.  Christ, we need some more material...  TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Cold Open 2:39:10 - Wrap-Up & Plugs RECORDED VIA THE MEDIUM...

A new series dawns in #Swapcast land, as Iwan and Dave are joined by Liam Stephens to talk shit as they watch along a show on the old interwebs. First off, a trip to Wolverhampton, as Night Two of 2019's Fight Club PRO's Dream Tag Team Invitational is given the watchalong treatment. Expect technical hitches, dead air and bants up the wazoo in an experience so awesome, you can just SMELL th...

Iwan and Dave return to the SkypeCaff and shoot the shit about graps and other bollocks. Also present is recurring guest and top pain in the arse, Liam Stephens . A week of birthdays, a bit of ranting, a lot of gushing, a little news and a lot of hot air. All the fun of the Swapcast! TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Cold Open 1:55:57 - Wrap-Up & Plugs RECORDED VIA THE MEDIUM OF SKYPE: 23/04/2020. *** THE SO...

The word this week is "levity": attempting to inject lightness or humour into an otherwise sombre situation... Iwan and Dave (at the SkypeCaff, which is shit compared to the old #GrapsCaff...) are joined by Dagenham & Redbridge's most notorious wrestling fan, Liam Stephens , and the breeze is shot on some pretty meaty subjects. From the WWE showing their own brand of "compassio...

THE CORONAPOCALYPSE IS NIGH. Look busy. Iwan and Dave (via the medium of Skype) are joined by a previous Swapcast guest in Barking shithouse, Liam Stephens , and the man who compered the Grappys Bonus Episode as "Shit Zak Dingle", Kieron "Lucky" Smith. Through the miracle of the internet, the lads discuss/eviscerate the WrestleMania that no-sold COVID-19, to very mixed results. Als...

Iwan and Dave are back! (oh, ffs...) This time they're joined by previous Swapcast guests Liam Stephens and Dan Oakden (other guests were not available, because we're crap, lol...) to shoot ALL THE SHIT on six weeks of the grapple game. From ResGal shows aplenty, to Iwan's German excursion for 16 Carat Gold weekend and a lot inbetween, we talk over each other like twats, but it's a...

HELLO MOTHERFUCKERS! Iwan and Dave return to shoot the shit about the first month of the new decade and its graps. From EVE WrestleQueendom 3 to all the ResGal shows and a lot in-between! Recorded: Hulyas Cafe (The Grappy Award Winning #GrapsCaff!), Bethnal Green, 01/02/2020. ON THE SOCIALS: Iwan: @iwanmack Dave: @itsdavejavu THE SWAPCAST ITSELF: @MxLSwapcast

It's late on a Friday night, and Dave shoots the breeze on late November and all of December in wrestles. NB: Contains late-night rambling and digression!  Recorded: 10/01/2020 ON SOCIAL MEDIA: @itsdavejavu

Happy New Year all! As a treat (using the term loosely) we present the Best and Blurst of 2019 according to a group of pillocks. Iwan and Dave of that Swapcast fame are joined by an ensemble cast to either be deadly serious and actually do an actual Wrestling Awards gimmick, or ham it up so greatly it will be considered a brilliant satire talked about for years to come... Not going to lie, this wa...

NB:  Dave is still trying to no-sell death here, and both the lads called an audible to split this episode into into TWO parts, since it is a HUGE podcast. On Part 2 of this episode, Dave and Iwan are joined by Liam Stephens (@liams1991) as everything else we were unable to cover in Part 1 is covered here. On the docket: - Head Drop III, featuring more than your RDA of British Rules Matches... - I...

NB: Dave is still trying to no-sell death here, and both the lads called an audible to split this episode into into TWO parts, since it is a HUGE podcast.  On Part 1 of this episode, Dave and Iwan prove that indeed, they are alive, because Christ it's been busy! And off the heels of a enjoyable She-1 weekend, the two EVE enthusiasts review the four shows and generally shoot the shit about the...

"YOU HIT HIM WITH A BRICK!" The title of the episode will be rather evident sooner rather than later (around 06:40 to be precise...), but there's a bigger question to pose: who's bird-brained idea was it for a wrestling podcast to be recorded IN THE PISSING RAIN? These two plonkers... Iwan and Dave shoot the breeze while queueing for EVE's SHE-1 (see Ep 5.5 for preview) and we...

Iwan and Dave are fans of EVE, everyone's favourite grrl gang graps outfit. So, on this BONUS episode of the Swapcast, the lads take a stab at doing a preview of the third edition of the SHE-1, where a new Ace of EVE will be crowned, earning themselves a one-way ticket to headlining WrestleQueendom 3 in January.  They are also joined by Liam Stephens, a long-lapsed EVE fan by his own admission...

"This IS My Match of  the Year." Never work with small children, animals, or your mates on a podcast. Iwan and Dave, with quite the ensemble cast of rascals, discuss a busy end of the month of October!  Dave reviews Southside's 9th Anniversary Show, their last ever show before they merge with RevPro, with a healthy dose of AEW talent, as well as PROGRESS returning to the Electric Ballr...

"A Woke Queens Friendly Podcast..." Four episodes of the Swapcast? FOUR? That's insane... But on this week's episode, Iwan and Dave hit the GrapsCaff in Bethnal Green and discuss a lot of stuff and things:  REVIEWS! EVE "Check Yourself" and SOUL 7 "Another Day in Paradise" get the review treatment!  NEWS! Big happenings in Japan, the WWE, AEW, and closer to home  PR...
