Rating: 81% - Must Watch

Is this a weird show? You be the judge! We’ve got our first double rainbow in a while (when all three hosts give a different thumb rating TWICE in an episode), so that’s weird. The Shiny Bun Boys (a moniker given by Theresa to her original WWE ship of Appollo Crews and Ricochet because of their glistening attire) might be back, and that’s weird. And we posit the existence of a “Theresa Do List” that someone in the AEW front office is surely compiling. 

Plus - do you think we should change our rating system to make it harder for Dynamite to score a "Must Watch" rating? Let us know! YOUR VOTE COUNTS! And thanks for listening!

Don’t forget this week’s Dynamite airs SATURDAY and is back to its regular Wednesday night slot four days later!

This Friday night schedule is madness! Everything is out of whack, but we’re still here to give you what you need! Or at least what you want. Possibly what you’re only indifferent to, but can’t be bothered to find a better substitute. Hopefully, you’re not being forced to listen to this podcast at gunpoint, but we still appreciate the downloads regardless.

There are some real clunkers in this week’s Dynamite, but in our book, any show with a segment devoted to The Wingmen is a stone cold classic. Plus Team Taz hijinks! A killer match with Nyla Rose and Leyla Hirsch! And fashion tips from Theresa for the Men of the Year! What more could you ask for?

It’s Friday and our internal clocks are aaaaall messed up! The post PPV Dynamite brings the heat (mostly) including a big name castoff from WWE, a big win for a very middling feud, and 1,500 Big Macs. What more could you ask for?

We did what most people do once they've been vaccinated near the end of a pandemic: drive an hour out of town to watch the PPV at a plush Cinemark and do a podcast on the way back! This episode was recorded on the drive from Long Beach to Hollywood (then a stop-off at Fatburger, and another loop through WeHo and back up Sunset and Hollywood Blvd. because there was JUST TOO MUCH WRASSLIN to cover!)

If you like crystal clear audio, then definitely skip this one. But it does improve significantly about a third of the way through the episode, so ... y'know, whatever works for you. It was almost all thumbs up across the board - Must See!

It’s the go home show for Double or Nothing and we are crammed to the gills! World class competitors The Wingmen go up against some guy … Arby’s? Darpa? Whatevs. The Inner Circle preview Stadium Stampede to close the show and a whole heap of promos, run-ins, and the occasional Simpsons reference to keep it all fresh.

Don’t forget, we’ll have a special On the Road podcast Monday morning and next week’s Dynamite is *also* Friday, so spend your Wednesday night with your loved ones who refuse to watch wrestling with you!

A brief moment of respite before the schedule goes all higgeldy-piggeldy. It’s the Dynamite before the Dynamite before Double or Nothing and many - though not all - the stops were pulled out.

Despite being chock full of talking, this episode does not drag. Christian Cage puts in his best showing yet, Mox and Eddie versus The Acclaimed contains all the verbal fireworks you would expect, The Varsity Blonds acquit themselves well against the Young Bucks. Match of the Night, however, goes to the BRUTALIZATION of one Red Velvet at the hands of one Serena Deeb. Very happy to see her back and very happy you’re back too. Thanks for listening!

Don’t forget next week’s Dynamite airs on Friday, not Wednesday!

Twin rays of sunshine Theresa Gumprecht and Calder Holbrook are joined by Chan the Grouch this week - but this still manages to be yet another Must Watch episode. We discuss one of the possible reasons why early on. Join us!

How AEW can regularly put out PPV-quality shows on free(ish) television is beyond us, but here we are again. From top to bottom(ish), this is all killer no filler. Omega makes the most of every moment he’s on screen this week - and he’s on it a lot. The floor is positively LITTERED with great promos. Blood and Guts lives up to precedent set by the mighty War Games PPVs of the ‘80s. For reals(ish) - if this doesn’t float your boat, you’re probably just not a fan of professional wrestling.

If your main knock against AEW is not enough time spent in limos, on Harleys, or atop buses, boy is this the show for you! Vehicles abound this episode and the high point is a killer Penta / Orange Cassidy match that’s worth the price of admission alone.
