We’re still missing a load-bearing Hangman, but you know what? Kenny Omega vs Zack Sabre Jr moves us. Forbidden Door promises to be fun… as long as Andrade keeps his pants on.

Bit of a different one today! After a bit of back and forth on social media about women's wrestling at RevPro, Andy Quildan offered to come and have a proper chat with us about his women's division, including the upcoming Women's Grand Prix shows, that unfortunate International Women's Day show, and much more.

(Also, we got into it a bit about Blackheart Lio Rush and David Francisco, because why not?)

The tweet that started it all: https://x.com/awfullywaffly/status/2057074718826483877

Only three hours of AEW to discuss this week, and mostly we’ve concluded that we have no idea what’s going to happen at All In, it’s ages away yet, anything could happen. Hopefully Lio Rush wins a title though!

(00:00:00) If we got black-misted, would anyone even notice? Plus: excess Ring of Honor, a month of RevPro chaos, and a bit of BOSJ

Weird one this week, wasn't it? Maybe a three hour show on a Wednesday is just a weird vibe.

(00:00:00) Promotional malpractice, pay cuts at the Fed, and some anti-capitalism

(00:11:24) Sending all our love to Rebel/Tanea Brooks and her family

(00:14:55) Watch out for catfish in the IWC!

(00:15:36) Three hours of Dynamite/Collision on Wednesday this week… and we’ve gotta talk about Orange Cassidy first, of course

(00:25:31) Does Rush make you horny? And does Chris Jericho have four friends who aren’t the Hurt Syndicate? 

(00:28:40) Not sure about Bryan Keith’s new haircut, but it’s nice to see him. 

(00:32:12) Is there going to be a schism in the Don Callis Family?

(00:33:15) Harley Cameron hulks out but we still don’t have enough women’s matches

(00:37:59) The Brawling Birds and the Triangle of Madness are still feuding so where’s our Thekla promo?

(00:41:02) Meanwhile in the men’s world championship scene… is Maxwell really gonna shave his head? And has Tony Khan considered that making Orange Cassidy world champion would make line go up?

(00:53:27) Will Ospreay please tell us a story, we’re very worried that you’re rejecting character development

(01:06:10) A 10 man party match featuring the Young Bucks? We’ve gotta get those tag belts out of the swamp

(01:12:54) We’ve gotta make sure Swerve Strickland gets booed

(01:16:27) Happy… times?

(00:28:02) Okay, how you know?

Oof. Lots going on, eh? This week, we attempt to run down everything that’s happened since Dynasty, but unfortunately there’s a ghost in the machine (and it seems to be trying to type on MJ’s keyboard throughout?)

(00:00:00) We try to remember how to do this podcast thing

(00:09:54) We’ve got a new AEW men’s world champion since we last recorded, and we don’t like it

(00:18:34) Maxwell crashout era? Finally? For us?
