Talk AEW

AEW Podcast

After months of hype and buildup, the first episode of AEW Rampage is in the rearview mirror, and we couldn’t be any happier with the show so far. Not only was the card was stacked with three title matches but Tony Khan made room for two big surprises— first by offering Fuego Del Sol a contract and second, with the show-closing return of Jamie Hayter as Britt Baker’s sidekick. Oh, and let’s not forget Christian Cage defeating Kenny Omega for the Impact world title!

We have plenty to discuss this week as we take a closer look at AEW’s new show and explain why we think the one-hour format is perfect for an industry notorious for overly bloated television shows. Before all that, however, we do set aside time for Ricky’s rapid-fire questions. All this and more!

This week on Talk AEW we discuss the utterly bizarre promo by The Elite, Hangman’s future, The great TNT championship match between Lee Johnson and Miro, and the stunning AEW debut of Daniel Garcia and 2.0! We also discuss the Five Labors of Jericho, his match with Juventud Guerrera, and the wave of WWE releases including Windham Lawrence Rotunda (a.k.a. Bray Wyatt) and Rick Flair, to name a few. And wait that’s not all— in our opening segment we managed to squeeze in discussion about Max Castor’s recent controversy, Ruby Soho rumours, and AEW ticket sales.

In our main event, we review the in-ring debut of Malakai Black who defeated Cody Rhodes in what was a shocking ending to Dynamite. Will Cody retire? Can Black win the World Title next? Would we want to see a feud between Hangman Adam Page and Black? And does the TNT championship mean more to the fans and wrestlers than the World Title? We have so many questions that need answers. All this and more!

This week on Talk AEW, we discuss the Five Labours of Chris Jericho; his match with Nick Gage; and the shocking announcement that Juventud Guererra will be his next opponent. We also speculate who Jericho’s final two opponents will be and debate if the Big Show, Sammy Guevara, Lance Storm, and/or Stephan Amell could be possibilities?

Other topics we discuss include Fight for the Fallen, CM Punk’s debut in AEW; where Daniel Bryan fits in and if Braun Strowman can still make an appearance on Dynamite. All this and more!

AEW Podcast

AEW presented the second night of Fyter Fest this week and it did not disappoint. Along with two massive title matches, we also saw the AEW debut of Chavo Guerrero, the first match in the 5 Labours of Jericho challenge, and the shocking appearance of Nick Gage. If that wasn’t enough, rumours have not stopped circulating that both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan have signed with AEW. It’s a jam-packed week of wrestling news and we have a lot to discuss!

In our main event, we talk hardcore wrestling, deathmatches, and whether or not we want to see Gage wrestle on Dynamite. Ricky D discusses why he believes Tony Khan is building a wrestling cinematic universe and Arron and Mariko chime in on which wrestlers they would want to see join AEW. Of course, we also have Ricky’s weekly rapid-fire questions and towards the end of the show, Ricky, Mariko, and Aaron argue about WWE.

All this and more!

AEW Podcast

On the heels of a string of big episodes of Dynamite that included the debut of Malakai Black, Andrade El Idolo— not to mention the return of a sold-out crowd—  AEW presented Fyter Fest Night One with Darby Allin and Ethan Page headlining the main event in the company’s first-ever Coffin Match. In our main event of this episode of Talk AEW, we break down that match and compare it to gimmick matches from the past, most notably the famous WWE casket matches involving The Undertaker.

This week, we also bring back our rapid-fire questions and discuss why one of AEW’s biggest strengths is rematches— or rather the lack of them. Other topics we touch on include:

The IWGP United States Championship Match with Jon Moxley vs. Karl Anderson;

The FTW Championship Match between “The Machine” Brian Cage vs. Ricky Starks;

The awful match between Christian Cage and Matt Hardy;

Why we are disappointed Penelope Ford lost yet again;

Why we love Sammy Guevara and what we think of Wheeler Yuta;

Alex Abrahantes’ sporting a new look;

Which TNT championship belt we like most;

And why the Cody Rhodes/Malakai Black feud reminds us of classic westerns.

All this and more!

AEW Podcast: Who Will Jump Ship Next?

This week on Talk AEW, Mariko, Ricky, and Aaron sit down to discuss Road Rager and the surprise appearance of Tommy End a.k.a. Malakai Black, and what they expect from him in the near future.

In the main event, the crew sets aside some time to discuss the debut of Andrade El Idolo who wrestled Matt Sydal, and why they were somewhat disappointed with his first match. This leads into a conversation about which AEW wrestler will be the first to leave the company and jump to WWE. All this and more!

AEW Podcast

After a short hiatus, Talk AEW is back with another jam-packed episode!

In our opening segment, Ricky D and Aaron Santos review the highly anticipated match between The Spanish God Sammy Guevara and Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Spoilers; while we were impressed by Sammy’s high-risk maneuvers (not to mention his Canadian Destroyer), we were also somewhat disappointed with the match, most notably the piledriver from the top rope and the interference towards the end.

In our main event, Mariko McDonald joins the conversation as the crew discusses the future of the company and how going back on the road and having a crowd will most likely change some of the plans AEW has for its roster.

AEW Podcast

This week on Talk AEW, we begin the show by catching up on the past two episodes of Dynamite which aired on a Friday night. We share our thoughts on the Mark Henry and Andrade joining AEW; Jungle Boy’s title shot; the ongoing feud between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle— and why we dislike watching wrestling on Friday nights.

In our main event, we address the rumours that the Elite are arguing with each other behind closed doors. Does anyone else get the feeling that when watching Dynamite, it sometimes feels like two different wrestling promotions? Why is it that Cody Rhodes never crosses paths with The Young Bucks nor Kenny Omega? Meanwhile, Hangman Page never crosses paths with either of those factions, and AEW seems no longer interested in having him fight for the World Title. What is going on here?

Finally, ending the show is a discussion about AEW’s roster. Is it too crowded or can AEW easily pick up some new hires such as some of the talent recently released from WWE? And how should they handle who wrestles on which show once Rampage premieres?

All this and so much more!

AEW Podcast: Double or Nothing Review

AEW hosted their first PPV with a full crowd since early 2020 and boy, it did not disappoint! After Revolution, Double or Nothing was AEW’s second pay-per-view of 2021, and apart from a few minor hiccups, the event was bigger, better, and far more entertaining thanks to the crowd who injected a   hefty dose of high energy and of course, the talent, who all delivered a great performance.

On this episode of Talk AEW, we choose our favourite moments and biggest highlights from the event and break down every match from the opening buy-in bout between Riho and Serena Deeb to the Stadium Stampede match, which saw Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle defeat MJF’s The Pinnacle.

Expect Ricky to rant about how Kenny Omega retained his AEW Championship and rave about why he believes Jungle Boy deserves to be the next champion! Mariko shares her love for Britt Baker and Shida’s match and Aaron explains why he believes Brian Cage and Hangman Adam Page stole the spotlight.

All this and more!

This week on Talk AEW, we set aside some time during Ricky’s rapid-fire questions to address some events that took place on the most recent episode of Dynamite including Christian Cage’s match with Matt Sydal and the ongoing feud between Cody Rhodes and Anthony Ogogo?

In our main event, we look ahead and discuss what we think will happen at AEW next pay-per-view event Double or Nothing and what we want to see happen.

All this and more!
