Iwan and Dave talk about a host of meaty subjects this week, and are joined by the returning Barking Shithouse Liam Stephens, as well as the returning Kieron "Lucky" Smith, There's still a lot of heavy subject matter, but it's a fairly light show compared to recent weeks.

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #Swapcast #16, Part 2: The Prettiest Flowers Always Get Picked First...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 the position as wrestling fans heartbroken at the loss of one of their favourite wrestlers, discuss the...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #Swapcast #16, Part 1: It Feels Horrible To Call This The Top Story...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 fans of both Iwan and Dave in the past, not to mention a brief chat about the legacy of the late great Owen Hart...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #Swapcast #15: ...It's Clear He Pissed In Vince's Hand Sanitiser...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 ladder, plus the debut of a new segment (and maybe a spin-off pod in the making) as the lads talk about #GrapsMeets! Also we talk Dark Side of the Ring, and Christ, Herb Abrams was OFF...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #Swapcast Commentaries #4: EVE WrestleQueendom!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 live, and share their insight into that sizzling evening on May 5th 2018.
Liam, who hasn't seen the full show live yet, is in for a treat, and...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #Swapcast #14: Up for 22 Hours! (ft. EVE WrestleQueendom DEEP DIVE~!)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 this epic event, and along with "That Damn Dirty Barking Shithouse" Liam Stephens, the lads watched it back for a Swapcast Commentary the other day.

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #SwapCast Commentaries #3: RIPTIDE Black Water 2017On 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 this promotion into the true Pride of Brighton just a couple of years later.
It's also a favourite promotion of Iwan's as well, so you...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #SwapCast Commentaries #2: STARDOM No People GateWe'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.
Even with the relatively entry-level knowledge of joshi (and by Liam's own admission, the English language) shared by the lads, this...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #Swapcast #13: I Get Squeamish About Medical Stuff...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...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell #Swapcast #11: ...If Creative Just Threw Them A Biscuit...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 "compassion" in the peak of the COVID-19 situation, to the sad passing of two bona fide legends in different ways, you'd think this was all doom and gloom.
Fortunately the second half...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell Swapcast #10: Ceiling Fan Mania!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. Also, the table talks about online content that they have been watching in this new era of social distancing and chill, and any other random bollocks worth flapping one's stamp-lickers about...

dave at the wrestlingMack x Lovell Swapcast #9: Six Weeks, Two Hours and A Lot Of Bollocks...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 all par for the course on these shows - utter chaos.
Also, we talk about shit we've seen online, including Dave hilariously trying to explain STARDOM's No People Gate...
