On this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams discuss the rapidly growing momentum behind AEW Forbidden Door and whether the event is shaping up to be one of the promotion's strongest cards yet.

The duo breaks down the announced dream matches between Kenny Omega and Zack Sabre Jr., Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland, and the massive 12-Man Steel Cage Match captained by MJF and Mark Briscoe. They also discuss Maya World's emotional Owen Hart Foundation Tournament victory, the continued rise of Shane Taylor Promotions, and the polarizing opening segment featuring Chris Jericho and Tommaso Ciampa.

Plus, after years of criticism surrounding AEW's Women's Division, is the company finally turning those frustrations into a storyline through Mercedes Moné? The hosts examine the evidence, the fan reaction, and what it could mean moving forward.

Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out is a weekly pro wrestling podcast covering AEW, NJPW, STARDOM, ROH, CMLL, and the stories shaping modern professional wrestling. No ratings discourse, no ticket sales talk —just thoughtful analysis, passionate debate, and plenty of wrestling nonsense.

Has social media changed the way wrestling fans experience stories?

This week on Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams examine the intense reaction to Kevin Knight joining the Don Callis Family and ask a larger question: Are wrestling fans judging the end of stories before they've seen the beginning? The duo explores how modern wrestling discourse is shaped by instant reactions, fantasy booking, and assumptions about where a storyline is headed before it has a chance to develop.

The conversation also turns to the return of Mercedes Moné and what her presence means for AEW's women's division. Is bringing back one of the biggest stars in wrestling enough to secure more television time and meaningful storylines for the women of AEW? Plus, Thekla declares "DEATH to STARDOM!" and immediately positions herself as one of the most intriguing figures in the company. What comes next for Thekla, Mercedes, and the future of the women's division?

Join Blade and Books for a thoughtful and spirited discussion covering AEW Dynamite, Kevin Knight, the Don Callis Family, Mercedes Moné, Thekla, wrestling fandom, storytelling, and the evolving landscape of All Elite Wrestling.

AEW Double or Nothing has come and gone, and the fallout may be even more interesting than the event itself. Blade Daily, Books and Bodyslams, and Innitbab break down Konosuke Takeshita's long-awaited victory over Kazuchika Okada, Kevin Knight's shocking heel turn, and the increasingly complex relationship between Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, and Jon Moxley as the road to All In begins to take shape.

The crew also tackles one of the most heated discussions in the AEW fanbase: the state of the Women's Division. Following a three-hour episode of Dynamite that featured minimal women's content outside of a squash match and a late-night Lights Out main event, questions are being asked about presentation, television time, character development, and long-term storytelling. Is concern about the division justified? Why does the topic create such strong reactions among fans? And what can AEW do to better showcase one of the most talented women's rosters in wrestling?

Plus, additional Double or Nothing fallout, Dynamite analysis, fan reactions, and plenty of wrestling nonsense along the way.

Why are pro wrestling fans so polarized? Why do some fans defend promotions at all costs while others seem determined to tear them down? And when did wrestling discourse become more about ratings, attendance, TV deals, and business metrics than the actual shows themselves?

On this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily is joined by Books and Bodyslams and Jeff from Skewered Universe Podcast for a deep dive into the politics of pro wrestling fandom. The crew explores tribalism in the IWC, the psychology behind fan loyalty, outrage culture, doom posting, anti-fandom, and the endless cycle of AEW, WWE, and online wrestling discourse.

The group also discusses whether wrestling fans are genuinely more toxic today or if social media simply amplifies behavior that has always existed. Plus — Books and Bodyslams shares stories and observations from attending AEW Dynamite live this week.

From wrestling history and classic wrestling fandom to modern fan culture, business obsession, and online debate, this episode digs into why wrestling fans argue the way they do — and whether it’s helping or hurting pro wrestling itself.

Topics include:

• Wrestling tribalism and fan wars

• AEW and WWE online discourse

• Ratings, attendance, and business metric obsession

• Toxic positivity vs constant negativity

• Wrestling history and fan identity

• The evolution of the IWC

• Live perspective from AEW Dynamite

No gatekeeping. No company loyalty tests. Just wrestling discussion for the sickos.

Blade Daily and returning guest host Antione Raphael break down the massive fallout from Wrestling Dontaku Night 2 and why the partnership between AEW and NJPW may be permanently changing professional wrestling.

Will Ospreay’s connection to The Death Riders has created ripple effects across multiple factions and promotions, with Callum Newman and United Empire immediately capitalizing on the chaos. The fellas discuss how interconnected storytelling between AEW, New Japan, The Dogs, and United Empire creates a scale of unpredictability wrestling rarely achieves — and why this may only be the beginning.

Plus: AEW Dynamite fallout, Darby Allin’s increasingly chaotic World Championship reign, faction warfare across companies, and why modern wrestling suddenly feels more alive than it has in years.

Why does AEW storytelling feel so different—and why does it actually work? Blade Daily goes solo to break down AEW’s unique approach to pro wrestling storytelling, from layered character arcs to non-linear narratives that avoid the predictable “good guy wins” formula. This episode dives into how AEW builds long-term stories that reward fans without feeling rushed, chaotic, or hot-shotted—blending modern wrestling with lessons pulled from wrestling history, classic storytelling, and evolving fan expectations.

Plus: Will Ospreay training with Jon Moxley (and the spread of the infamous “tummy poke”), Swerve Strickland targeting Bandido, Darby Allin’s already standout title reign, and why the Women’s Tag Team Titles are starting to feel like one of the most important championships in the company. Wrestling analysis, debate, and fandom collide—covering everything from vintage wrestling psychology to the future of the business.
