Cruising With Kayfabe

We had a really fun conversation with Britain from The Shirt Farm about creating shirts that actually have a story behind them, building something you can hold onto for years and how a love of pop culture, nostalgia and fandom can turn into something much bigger.
We talked about everything from The Shirt Farm’s Disney and Pixar inspired designs to wrestling and how a chance collaboration with Tommaso Ciampa last April changed the whole course of the brand.
That collaboration opened the door to AEW, leading to more than 12 shirts and 3 hats so far, with even more to come.
We also talked about Britain becoming a new AEW fan through the process, what he loves about the presentation of AEW, and a lot of the things we have in common as elder millennials who still love the stuff we grew up with.
This was less of a traditional interview and more of a really good conversation about shirts, wrestling, fandom, marketing and creating something that people can connect with.

Britt Baker is back in AEW, but if you’re newer to AEW or just need a reminder of how we got here, this is the episode for you.
We go back through Britt’s AEW journey, from the early days of the women’s division to becoming one of the company’s biggest stars. We talk about some of our favorite Britt moments, matches, rivalries and promos, what made her connect with fans, and the role she played in helping build AEW’s women’s division.
We also talk about her 2026 return, what’s changed since we last saw her, and where Britt Baker could fit into AEW’s women’s division now.
Whether you’ve been following Britt since 2019 or you’re just getting familiar with her, we wanted to put together the kind of episode we would have wanted when we were newer fans: some history, some context, some of our favorite moments and a look at what could be next.

We told you we’d have a lot to say about our London wrestling weekend… and we weren’t kidding.
In Part 2, we’re picking up exactly where Part 1 left off and finishing our review of AEW All In at Wembley, going through the main card, the biggest moments, our favorite parts of the show, and what it was actually like being there live.
Then we move on to PROGRESS Wrestling to wrap up the wrestling portion of our London trip and talk about our overall experience at the show. The surprises, what stood out and the charm of being in the electric ballroom!
Between RevPro, AEW All In and PROGRESS, this was a wrestling weekend we’d been planning for two years, so there’s a lot to unpack.
We’ll talk about the matches and major moments, but also the things you don’t necessarily get from watching at home the atmosphere, being in the building, the crowd, and what stood out to us as fans experiencing all of this in person.
If you haven’t watched Part 1 yet, go check that out first for our full RevPro review and the beginning of our All In review.
And if you’ve already watched Part 1… welcome back. Let’s finish this thing.

After two years of planning, we finally made it to London for one of the biggest wrestling weekends we’ve ever experienced.
In Part 1 of our London Wrestling Weekend Review, Jeff, Rachael, Mongo and Emily sit down to talk about RevPro from start to finish, including the matches, moments, atmosphere, and our overall thoughts on the show. The crowd experience, the surprises and the feeling of our first British wrestling show. 
From there, we move on to AEW All In at Wembley, where we get through the entire pre-show and set up what was still to come on one of the biggest nights of our trip.
We’re sharing this from the perspective of fans who were actually there what we enjoyed, what surprised us, what stood out, and what we thought worked (and didn’t).
And yes, we had so much to talk about that we had to split this review into two parts.
Part 2 is coming soon, where we’ll finish our All In review with the entire main card and then get into our experience at PROGRESS Wrestling.
If you followed along with our London trip, this is where we finally get to break down the wrestling side of the trip in full.
Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss Part 2 and the rest of our London content.

WE WENT TO LONDON!

In this episode, Emily and I take you through our entire London vacation and everything we experienced along the way.
THURSDAY We kicked things off with the Harry Potter Studio Tour, which was an incredible way to start the trip.
FRIDAY We explored Buckingham Palace, watched the Changing of the Guard, visited the Royal Mews, checked out museums and spent the day taking in as much of London as we could.
SATURDAY We headed to RevPro 14 Year Anniversary at the OVO Arena Wembley, but of course we had to experience some British food along the way too. We tried Greg’s sausage rolls, a traditional English breakfast, fish and chips and plenty of other snacks.
SUNDAY AEW All In at Wembley Stadium. We talk about the experience of getting to Wembley, being surrounded by thousands of wrestling fans and what it was like being there for such a massive event.
MONDAY We explored Camden Town and the market before heading to PROGRESS Wrestling at the Electric Ballroom. We also visited Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and took in a few more of the sights before wrapping up the trip.

We also talk about figuring out the London Tube, navigating the city, the people we met, the food we tried, the places we visited and all the little experiences that made this trip so memorable.
This really was a trip of a lifetime and we’re excited to finally share the whole experience with you.
Thanks for coming along for the ride!
