Power P and Ramon "Red Eyes" Bermudez both work for the pro wrestling company Pro Graps Worldwide. P is a retired wrestler, and the Head of Talent Relations, and Ramon is the Head Writer and Booker. Every two weeks they meet up in the writer's room to come up with new gimmicks for PGW. What they don't know is that their sessions are being recorded in secret and being released as a podcast.
((The Gimmick Room is a fictional podcast created by Eli Alaimo and Jonathan Alvarez. PGW is not real. At least not yet.))
It's a new year and Ramon and P are back on the work grind! But P is on the workout grind as well! Is their comeback training affecting their work? Probably, it's kinda hard to tell. In this episode there's mafia, mafia cities, IT mafia, horse mafia, and giant robot mafia.
On a very special episode of The Gimmick Room, Power P comes to a crossroads in their life when they're visited by three (actually five) spirits who warn them of their future. What's going to happen to Power P in 2019? Are they going to turn over a new leaf?
Ramon tries to skip out on work for a christmas party, but P catches him and makes him come up with christmas themed gimmicks! Honestly it's a real dick move by P. In this episode there's nog, angels, robots, family members who don't have their shit together, and a band that Ramon thought P was making up as a goof.
Procrastination comes to roost as Power P and Ramon need to go through the pile of resumes that have been stacking up for months! And they need to get through them, because Yuletide Cheer looms on the horizon! In this episode there's casino tycoons, mma animals, a moonshiner, an undertaker (not that kind), a knife wielding jeanists!
Every year, the staff of PGWW gets together for a company-wide meal, followed by the evening's entertainment: everybody telling the wrestlers how bad they are. This year is Ramon's first year as a presenter, and he tries out some of his material backstage with Power P! P's been doing this for years, but they test out some of their material too. They absolutely take the piss out of a stable of babies, an airhead MMA fighter, a hacker, and a piece of late 90's software!
In a rare off the clock moment, P and Ramon pause to order some lunch and talk about some of the other wrestling shows that happened in the area around the Monster International.
IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR! The Monster International! And this year P and Ramon are making sure there are NO screw ups by booking the tournament weeks in advance! Wrestling's real babey!!! There's skeletons, golems, fish, knives, corporate blood dragons, and a celebrity that's two celebrities!
The Monster International is soon! But Power P wants to round out the roster with some jobbers! So this year, they're adding humans! Just regular humans! There's kids from the future, wrestlers from the shore, bodybuilders, wrestlers from the mountains, and someone who may or may not be human at all!
Power P is injured!!! In what seems to be a clown related incident! They take this to mean that the company is cursed, so P gets Ramon to come up with as many clown gimmicks as possible to dispel the curse through oversaturation. It makes sense. To them anyways. There's trucker clowns, artist clowns, sports clowns, high class clowns, high concept clowns, and the most terrifying deathmatch of all!
It's that time of the year! Ramon and P are gearing up for the Monster International! And to scout for it P went to a horror and funk music themed con! In this episode there's masked pianists, tie dye, knives, shotgun guitarists, and music that is impossible for the human hand to play!
This week we have a look into a different side of Ramon's life; his MMA podcast he does on the side! Join him and his co-host Diamond Keegan as they recap the main card of The Rhode Island Inferno 4! Matches covered: "Doubledip" Frank Victor vs Casey "Car Guy" Wight", Tweetybird Sweatpants vs Melissa Melissa Melissa, Nora Ester vs Strangler Percy, and Peter Jorts vs James "Two Toe" Donahue
