Waffly Bollox

we didn't love this week's Dynamite, or at least we thought we didn't, but then we had a big chat about it and while there were definitely some bits we weren't super into (is Hangman really gonna be a big shouty man forever? why does Mox need to steal Darby's title shot instead of getting his own? what does Tony Khan have against literally every tag team on the roster??) we managed to find some light in the darkness.

namely, Chuck Taylor showed up for a whole 30 seconds, and also Matt Taven is a very funny man.

look you're never gonna get an episode where we don't find some reason to talk about how much we love some wrestler or other, so, you know, we found our way there in the end.

it's the pay-per-view from the depths of hell!!! or, as you might know it, AEW All Out 2024.

went hard, that one, didn't it? we had MJF and Daniel Garcia trying to break one another's necks, Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale getting thumbtacks where thumbtacks shouldn't go, a shocking betrayal by the Blackpool Combat Club, and then, finally, the grudge match to end all grudge matches when Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page did unspeakable things to one another inside a steel cage match.

we are delighted, worried, over-excited, over-stimulated, and ultimately sated. good stuff. can we have another one?

it's been one week since All In, and it's one week until All Out, so that means: time for shenanigans! wrestlers are being shuffled into position and we're already psyched because we know we're getting a Chicago street fight and a sexy steel cage match next week.

also, Jon Moxley is up to something, and we wanna know what it is...

the biggest AEW pay-per-view of the year is here - and we even got a bonus episode of Dynamite and Collision filmed in the UK! this week we're overtired and overexcited, but we watched a lot of wrestling and we'll still find the energy to cheer for Big Bill somehow.

we need to talk about All In. specifically, why so many of our guys don't seem to be booked in matches right now? hey Tony, what's going on please?

elsewhere, we figure out what stipulation the next Hangman vs Swerve Strickland match should have, and probably offend all of Wales. sorry about that.

we're two weeks away from All In and we still don't know who Hangman is going to be fighting.

we also don't know the rules of a casino gauntlet match.

we do know which britwres legend we want to see downing beers in the ring though...

you know what’s nice about having Hangman back on TV? we get to talk about Hangman. definitely didn’t do much of that when he wasn’t around.

this week, we loved his match with Darby Allin, we thought Ring of Honor was great, we’re still sad about Best Friends, and we have some, uh, interesting thoughts on matches that Tony Khan technically could book for All In…

two big bits of business this week: it was Ring of Honor's Death Before Dishonor, and your hosts actually met one another in person for the very first time!! we watched some deathmatches together. the dream!

this episode, we are mostly very tired, and a bit grumpy. Athena cheered us up though. our forever champ really is forever, you know.

things got a bit messy this week. yep, it was Blood & Guts time. unfortunately, the storytelling was as messy as the ring, which is not really how we prefer our wrestling. lots more thoughts (and wailing) in the episode!

MJF and Will Ospreay went a whole hour on Dynamite this week. guess how long we spent talking about it? (spoiler: it’s less than an hour, don’t panic.)

We also checked in with all our faves to see what they were up to, and then played a game revolving around that list of unused wrestler names Chuck Taylor came up with that one time, because we are nothing if not silly.
