Doc Gallows Says Timing Is Right For Talk ’N Shop A Mania 3

Doc Gallows believes the moment has arrived to bring back Talk ’N Shop A Mania for a third installment. Speaking on the In The Weeds podcast, Gallows made the case that now is the right time to revive the comedic wrestling spoof that he and his collaborators have used to poke fun at the pro wrestling industry and its pay-per-view culture.

Talk ’N Shop A Mania first debuted on August 1, 2020, presented in the style of a legitimate pay-per-view broadcast despite being a parody through and through. The concept resonated enough with fans that a sequel followed just three months later, on November 1, 2020. Both events leaned into over-the-top sketch comedy and wrestling in-jokes, giving Gallows and company a platform to satirize the business they’ve spent years working in.

It’s been nearly six years since the second event aired, and Gallows’ comments suggest the itch to do it again hasn’t gone away. While specifics on timing, format, or who else might be involved in a third installment weren’t laid out, the fact that Gallows is publicly campaigning for it is a notable sign that talks — even informal ones — could be moving in that direction.

Gallows has remained a visible presence in wrestling media beyond the ring, and projects like Talk ’N Shop A Mania have given him a creative outlet outside traditional in-ring competition. Given the format’s track record of generating buzz among fans who enjoy wrestling’s more self-aware, tongue-in-cheek side, a third entry would likely draw plenty of curiosity if it does come together.

For now, there’s no confirmed date or plan in place, but Gallows’ endorsement adds fuel to the idea that Talk ’N Shop A Mania 3 could eventually become a reality. Fans of the first two events will no doubt be watching for any further updates on whether this one actually gets off the ground.
