This week, we’re joined by Sam from the AEW Match Guide Podcast (@SocialSuplex)—a top bloke, an Aussie, and the perfect guest to break down AEW Grand Slam!

We dive into:

✅ The past week of AEW, with both shows delivering big.

✅ The build to Grand Slam—our predictions & where things could head post-Grand Slam into Revolution.

✅ Listener questions, including the all-important one: Who would win in a Hell in a Cell—Harold Bishop or Alf Stewart? 🤔

Plenty of tangents, too many cheap Australia references, and an all-around good laugh.

In Episode 25, Andy, Brett, Mike (and Wrestling Mark halfway through) are in a festive mood, rambling all over the place in what was supposed to be a quick thank-you episode. Instead, we ended up:

• Talking about how good ROH and Collision were this week
• Digging into random bits of wrestling randomness
• Doing some Arquette investigation updates
• Wrapping up with thoughts on The World’s End

Also, how ironic is it that our 25th episode drops on the 25th of December? (At least in some countries!)

We love every single one of you who’s listened to us ramble about wrestling. Seriously, you’re the best gift we could have asked for. Have the best Christmas (or holiday you celebrate), and thank you for letting us talk shite about something we all love.
