'''''Monster Truck Mater''''' is the sixth episode of ''[[Cars Toons#Mater's Tall Tales|Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales]]''. It originally aired on July 30, 2010. and it was later released on DVD and Blu-ray on November 2, 2010.

==Plot==
At [[Flo's V8 Café]], [[Lightning McQueen]] and [[Mater]] see a hidden monster truck drive by. [[Mater]] states "that boy's nothin'," and that he used to wrestle trucks bigger than him. He then goes on to talk about his career as a monster truck wrestler.

[[Mater]] starts in the low-class wrestling ring and is introduced by an off-screen announcer as "The Tormentor". As the crowd boos, [[Mater]] says to the announcer that his name is "Tow Mater." His first opponent is an ice cream monster truck called the [[I-Screamer]]. [[Mater]] first flees from the [[I-Screamer]], but he reappears disguised as a kid wearing a propeller hat and tricks the [[I-Screamer]] into preparing one double-dip dipstick sundae. When the [[I-Screamer]] turns around, [[Mater]] latches his hook on [[I-Screamer]] flips him on his roof. The [[Referee Pitty|referee pitty]] declares [[Mater]] the winner and the crowd cheers.

With his new moniker, new look and bigger set of wheels, Mater takes on more monster trucks: [[Captain Collision]] (whom Mater easily pins down), the [[Rastacarian]] (who gets turned over when he loses his bungee cord dreadlocks), [[Dr. Feel Bad]] (who gets launched out of the ring and into the hospital), and [[Paddy O'Concrete]] (who gets covered in his own cement).

At the world championship, "The Tormentor" is ready to challenge the reigning champion. When [[Dr. Frankenwagon]], the alleged champion, appears, [[Mater]] thinks it will be a piece of cake; however, when the real champion, [[Dr. Frankenwagon's Monster|Dr. Frankenwagon's monster]], appears and comes alive, [[Mater]] says, "I'm dead."

[[Lightning McQueen|Lightning]] asks [[Mater]] what he did, and [[Mater]] responds, saying he and [[Lightning McQueen|Lightning]] were a tag team.

Back in the story, "The Tormentor" tags [[Lightning McQueen|Lightning]] in his wrestling monster truck get-up and the massive monster truck tries to attack [[Lightning McQueen|Lightning]]. Outside the ring, [[Mater]] shows off his tires to [[Mia and Tia]]. Immediately, [[Mater]] and [[Lightning McQueen|Lightning]] tag each other and [[Mater]] latches his hook on [[Dr. Frankenwagon's Monster|Frankenwagon's monster]]. He drives under the ring and out the other side and pulls the entire ring over, defeating [[Dr. Frankenwagon]] and [[Dr. Frankenwagon's Monster|his monster]] in the process. The [[Referee Pitty|referee pitty declares]] the new winners, "The Tormentor" and [[Lightning McQueen]], the latter of whom he interprets as "Frightening McMean" after asking what his name is.

[[Lightning McQueen|Lightning]] is doubtful of [[Mater]]'s tale and the nickname "Frightening McMean" until The [[Tormentor's Biggest Fan|Tormentor's biggest fan]] shows up and asks for [[Mater]]'s autograph. As the fan leaves with his door marked with [[Mater]]'s tire track, [[Lightning McQueen|Lightning]] rushes to him and insistently asks if he wants his autograph, only to make the fan feel uncomfortable.

==Trivia==

*The Hospital room where Dr. Feel Bad was thrown into is the exact same hospital room seen in [[Rescue Squad Mater]].
*The last wrestling event in the short takes place in the [[Motor Speedway of the South]], the same place where the first race of the movie ''[[Cars]]'' was hosted.
*Dr. Frankenwagon's name is a reference to Frankenstein. Also, Dr. Frankenwagon's monster resembles the [[Screamin' Banshee]].
*This short was confirmed to be canon, as there is a poster from "Monster Truck Wrestling", with Mater as a contestant, appearing in ''[[Thunder Hollow]]'', in ''Cars 3.''
*During recording, [[Larry the Cable Guy]] blows a helium balloon in order to make his voice high pitched while he records his line in which Mater disguises himself as a kid and tricks the [[I-Screamer]] into preparing one double-dip dipstick.
*Monster Truck Wrestling (MTW) could be a parody to other professional fighting organizations such as WWE or UFC.
*Haulers of [[RPM]], [[Vinyl Toupee]], [[Trunk Fresh]], [[Tank Coat]], [[Spare Mint]], [[Bumper Save]] and [[Leak Less]] can be seen in the [[Monster Truck Wrestling]] Championship.

==Goofs==
*The DVD and Blu-ray subtitles mistakenly have the words in Rasta Carian's name together, making it "Rastacarian" as only one name.
