Talk AEW

This week on Talk AEW, we have plenty to talk about including the Jon Moxley match with Yuji Nagata and the use of the song “Wild Thing” by The Troggs as his entrance music. We rate the promos by Cody Rhodes and Tully Blanchard, discuss Orange Cassidy’s injury, and rant about why we think AEW did a disservice to SCU who ended a nine-year run as a tag team after losing to the Young Bucks.

In our main event, we look back at Darby Allin’s incredible reign as the TNT Champion and discuss why we think it is the best title run by anyone in AEW so far.  

In our bonus segment, we break down the ongoing feud between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle and discuss what we hope to see at the Stadium Stampede match which is scheduled for AEW’s next pay-per-view event, Double or Nothing. All this and more!

The ratings are in for this week’s AEW Dynamite proved plenty of fans were thirsty for blood. The first-ever Blood & Guts Match helped the episode become the No. 1 overall show on cable, drawing a 0.42 rating with 1.09 million fans. The episode of course culminated in The Pinnacle defeating The Inner Circle in the ultra-violent two-ringed steel cage match. MJF forced Sammy Guevara to surrender by threatening to throw Chris Jericho off the top of the cage. What happened next had the internet in an uproar.

This week on Talk AEW, Mariko, Aaron and Ricky review the hotly anticipated ten-man tag team brawl and dive deep into what happened post-match. Kicking off the show as per usual is Ricky’s rapid-fire questions! All this and more…

This week on Talk AEW, Ricky, Mariko and Aaron preview Blood and Guts and offer their predictions on what might unfold during the special episode of Dynamite. Will the Pinnacle come out on top, or will The Inner Circle beat MJF and his goons to a bloody pulp?

As always, Ricky kicks off the show with his rapid-fire questions. This week that includes a discussion on whether or not Penelope Ford is the most under-rated and under-used wrestler in the women’s division and speculation as to who Jade Cargill might hire as her manager.

Closing the show is a talk spot on the future of AEW’s many shows such as Elevation, Dark and Dynamiteand when and if Tony Khan will change when and where these shows air. All this and more.

This week AEW Dynamite featured an outstanding match between Hikaru Shida and Tay Conti as well as a stellar main event with Darby Allin and Jungle Boy. Both matches proved AEW is loaded with young talent and got us thinking who we would consider AEW’s most valuable young stars. In our main event we tackle this question and debate which ten wrestlers we think AEW should secure for the next ten years.

Kicking off the show is Ricky’s rapid-fire questions and this week we end the show with a little game of twenty questions, courtesy of Aaron Santos.

All this and more!

The first match on AEW Dynamite this week between The Young Bucks and Pac and Rey Fenix, lasted nearly 30 minutes. It’s safe to say that since Matt and Nick Jackson just turned heels, we all knew the outcome and we all knew they weren’t losing the match. That said, it was an amazing match, worthy of a pay-per-view main event which has us asking if AEW is booking too many great matches for free on television?

Before we get to that, however, we address the storyline between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle as well as Iron Mike Tyson. We also set aside some time to discuss how many true babyfaces AEW has in its roster and try to make sense of the main event between Darby Allin and Matt Hardy.

All that and more.

AEW Podcast: The Inner Circle is Back in Black!

This week on Talk AEW, we review Chris Jericho’s epic promo which perfectly set up the announcement of the first-ever Blood & Guts match, to be held in Jacksonville Florida on May 5. The worst is yet to come for The Pinnacle but before we get to that event, we have plenty to discuss including the appearance of Mike Tyson and whether it was too early for the Inner Circle to bury MJF and his new faction again.

In our main event, we express our frustration in seeing both Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks constantly in main event matches and why we think it’s a bad idea for all three men to hold championship titles at the moment.

And as we do every week, Ricky kicks off the show with his rapid-fire questions. All this and more!

This week on Talk AEW, the months-long feud between Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, Miro, and Kip Sabian came to a head with a balls-to-the-wall Arcade Anarchy match on AEW Dynamite— and boy do we have a lot to say about it. Spoilers, everyone on this podcast absolutely loves how the story culminated.

But before we rave about “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy, his new entrance music, or the surprise return of both Trent and Kris Statlander— we set aside some time to debate whether it was a good idea for Christian Cage to wrestle Frankie Kazarian in his first single’s match in seven years. Did Cage look exhausted and is he really that rusty in the ring or was he just putting on a show and selling a story?

And of course, we open the show with Ricky’s rapid-fire questions which this week addresses Q.T. Marshall’s double-crossing, backstabbing, and villainous turn on Cody Rhodes as well as The Inner Circles comeback and massacring of The Pinnacle live on Dynamite. All this and more!

This week on Talk AEW, we kick off the show with Ricky’s rapid-fire questions and address, the drop in ratings of Impact, despite Kenny Omega’s appearance along with his recent match with Matt Sydal. We also touch on why AEW Elevation; the barrage of amazing promos delivered on Dynamite and the questionable (if not terrible) acting on the part of The Young Bucks.

In our main event, we discuss the current storyline involving Q.T. Marshall; whether Cody Rhodes is turning heel, and what AEW can do with the Nightmare Factory moving forward.

Finally, ending the show is a discussion about the TNT Championship. We look back at some of the best matches from the past including the recent battle between Darby Allin and John Silver and what AEW can do to further add prestige to the championship belt.

All this and more.

This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite was a night of firsts. Not only was it the first time a women’s match was in the main event, but it marked the first time the AEW Women’s Division had an Unsanctioned Lights Out Match. This week in our main event, we gush over Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker who knocked it out of the park and delivered a five-star match, battering each other with chairs, ladders, piles of thumbtacks, and tables.

Before that, however, we kick off the show with Ricky’s rapid-fire questions and dig into the drop in viewership for AEW Dynamite as well as the record-breaking ratings of AEW Revolution which was the highest-grossing non-WWE wrestling pay-per-view event since 1999. Other topics discussed include the use of managers in AEW; Brian Cage’s recent speech; Jade Cargill’s charismatic presence, and whether Cody Rhodes is the next Triple H. All this and more.

Wednesday’s live post-Revolution edition of Dynamite set up a half dozen new storylines and featured the Dynamite debut of several new stars including Maki Itoh, Ethan Page, and Christian Cage who might have gotten the ball rolling on a feud with the current World Champion, Kenny Omega. We’ll sit down and discuss what we expect from the former WWE superstar and whether he should be gunning for a title so soon.

In our main event we discuss the jaw-dropping double swerve which saw MJF turn his back on the Inner Circle and introduce a new faction which includes him, FTR and Shawn Spears. Obviously, we are all excited about the return of Sammy Guevara but how do we feel about what unfolded during the Inner Circles’ War Council. You’ll just have to tune in to find out.
