PromoSlam
PromoSlam is the annual Max Wrestling Podcast special which takes place in August, the weekend of WWE's SummerSlam.
PromoSlam was once shrouded in dark memories for Max Wrestling. The first under the chronology marked the end of Evan "Money" Makeba's run as a regular part of the team, and also a controversial appearance by Jonny Ferrari - which prompted a portion of the show to be cut and re-structured as Kinny Killa could not continue.
PromoSlam 2 marked the final special appearance of co-founder The Phoenix for a hiatus, as he took time off after the event, returned before Promo Series 2, but never appeared at that event and subsequently left Max Wrestling as a regular team member. He made the first of sporadic appearances at PromoMania III - winning the first Iron Bank Contract.
PromoSlam 3 was the first special to not feature any guests. The Knowledge Championship was also not defended for the first time since its inception.
The bad luck seemed to run out in 2019 as PromoSlam 4 had no issues and hosted the first ever fatal-4-way for the Promo Championship. However, in 2021, the Promo Championship changed hands for what would be the last time. Travis Anderson won the title from Moses Marquez, which was de-activated a few days later.
Of all specials, PromoSlam has had the most unique logos, traditionally consisting of an S looped through a P, and a star. In 2020, PromoSlam began being named after the year, rather than its sequential number.
