I was as shocked as anyone when I heard the news last night of the untimely passing of Andy Williams AKA The Butcher. Originally, this was going to be a normal episode but I have pushed that to next week so that this week I can pay tribute to a wrestler I very much enjoyed watching in AEW.

Join me as I pay tribute to the man, looking back at three of his matches:

The Butcher & The Blade v The Young Bucks, Falls Count Anywhere, 27/07/2020

The Butcher & The Blade v Dustin Rhodes & QT Marshall, Bunkhouse Brawl, 11/11/2020

The Butcher & The Blade v Tomohiro Ishii & Orange Cassidy, 17/11/2020

This week, ahead of All In 2026, we look back at the original All In, going over the wrestling landscape that made it possible, the sometimes brilliant, sometimes very silly ways they built the card, the event itself and how the movement was moulded into AEW.

I also have a guest spot from the original Elite Podcasters This is Awesome/Watch Great Wrestling who covered every BTE episode in the build to All In and were at the Sears Center on the night.
