Jake, KJ and Omar go into this episode with the intent of recapping a special 3-hour edition of AEW Dynamite and Rampage. Do they succeed? Yes, but there's a lot of amusing tangents along the way. You'll hear Jake rant about Chris Jericho, get some tea on Carolina indies and be subjected to a discussion about big-bottomed white women. We are very sorry.

With the arrival of Mercedes Moné at Big Business, it's a new day in AEW, and it's a new day for the Carolina WrestleManiacs Podcast. We're proud to announce that Omar "Money" Tariq will join as a permanent co-host alongside Jake and KJ. To kick off this new trio, we're covering Big Business and getting hyped for Omar's impending trip to Philadelphia for WrestleMania XL. 

With KJ on a Mexican excursion, it was up to Jake and several other WrestleManiacs to visit Greensboro and see AEW Revolution in person. Jake sits down with Omar "Slim Money" Tariq, Sebastian "Seb" Acosta and Bradley "Mobile Suit" Gooch to discuss a hellacious premium live event that included Sting's retirement, a six star classic between Will Ospreay and Konosuke Takeshita and REAL GLASS. Will we cry Jack Perry a river? Listen and find out!

It's the Elimination Chamber ep! After getting snakebitten multiple times due to illness, Jake and KJ return to action with a tipsy, meandering affair. We discuss the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards as well as all the fun stuff going on in Xtreme World Wrestling. If you love hot messes, this one is for you!

In the first part of a new series, Jake and KJ will be reading and discussing The Death of WCW, originally published in 2004 and written by Bryan Alvarez and R.D. Reynolds. Our hosts have a freewheeling discussion about the book's opening section and set the stage for what will be a deeper dive into why WCW is no longer around.

Jake and KJ power through the end of January with a review of Royal Rumble '24, which was certainly a show that happened.

It's a new year! Jake & KJ are back to business with their hot takes over some cold weather. Chief among the topics are AEW's final pay-per-view of 2023 in World's End and the first major wrestling event of 2024 in New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom 18!

Jake and KJ come at you with some holiday goodness. Our main event is our recap of the original Clash of the Champions TV special from the Greensboro Coliseum. Do our hosts have some smartass remarks about it? Does a bear crap in the woods?
The Carolina WrestleManiacs would like to thank everyone who has supported this podcast. We have big ambitions for 2024, and we hope you're along for the ride.

The "Sleepy Scoundrel" Jake and the "Bizniss Booger" KJ are back at it with more CM Punk discourse! (I know, we're just as thrilled as you are.) We also share our thoughts on NXT Deadline, the card for ROH Final Battle, and the impending free agencies of stars like Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch and Drew McIntyre. We promise to take a break from Phil after this.

Jake and KJ are joined this time by our friend Mitch Hennessey in this jam-packed episode. In the main event, we discuss CM Punk's return to WWE and how it affects the public perception between them and AEW. In addition, we talk about Darius Lockhart's groundbreaking ASÉ show as well as Jake's time spent at WrestleCade weekend. We're not here to make friends, we're here to talk wrestling!
