We go LONG this week, as there is so much non-AEW stuff to chat about: will Megan ever buy another video game console? Does being a dad give you a perpetual Peter Pan pass? Will Megan watch Wrestlemania based on her surprising amount of interest in the lineup? All this, plus analysis of the AEW releases, Ortiz' successful pec surgery, CM Punk on Ariel Helwani, and yes, perhaps the worst AEW match of all time. It's all here!
