It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 5

(2009)
synopsis

The gang reacted to the 2008 recession in a self-centered, inept manner by using the mortgage crisis and the newly impoverished homeless populating the area outside the bar to boost sales of the bar's wares. Following the musical from the previous season, the group also performed wrestling matches for American service members stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq, with Frank dressing up as a trashman to project a positive picture of wrestling.
