"If you think that pro wrestling—with it's soap opera story arcs, fake moves and silly costumes—couldn't be funnier or more ridiculous than it already is, watch it get mocked by these UCBT performers."
—Time Out New York

"The WWE is pretty hilarious on its own, but the UCB Theatre’s wrestling federation, the UCBW, pays such good attention to the details of the genre, it feels less like a satirical mockery and more of a hyper-hilarious homage to the dramatic sport. It’s impossible not to get caught up in their hysteria."
—New York Press

"The price of admission gets you a whole seat, but you only need the edge."
—Flavorpill

"These guys (and girls) pay tribute to the pro-wrestling they love with their hybrid of comedy/wrestling and super-ridiculous ringside commentary - so many talented performers, and an incredibly supportive crowd!"
—Wrestling Legend, Standup Comedian & Bestselling Author Mick Foley

"These top-notch improv comics are really hilarious, and totally respectful. These guys take us fans seriously enough to just let us be little kids again."
—David Shoemaker (The Masked Man), Deadspin & Grantland

Looks like the IFC tumblr picked up on Sunday’s big show.

Pro-wrestling’s  hardcore legend, Mick Foley returns to the UCB theatre in the first ever  post-wrestling PPV comedy show!That’s right, following the huge WWE  “Survivor Series” event, members of the WWE Universe, as well as fans of Mick’s  comedy, can take a short walk to the UCB theatre to catch Foley’s trademark  blend of wildness and warmth, wit and wisdom that turned two of his hand-written  memoirs into #1 New York Times best-sellers. Foley will be fresh off his tour of  the United Kingdom (many of the dates sold out MONTHS in advance - go ahead,  check out http://mickfoleystandup.co.uk [mickfoleystandup.co.uk] ) and will be raring to go in the “shadow of Madison  Square Garden.”Whether telling a side-splitting, or cringe-inducing tale  from his own life, or offering up his unique “what if” scenarios gleaned from 25  years of world travel, Mick Foley will do his very best to make sure you “have a  nice day!”
