Waffly Bollox

right, so, this week? this week we’ve got beef, and our beef is with you, Tony Khan, and we’re not joking this time, because some of your hiring decisions lately are seriously not OK.

elsewhere, we do still love Kenny Omega, MJF, the Young Bucks, Hangman, Orange Cassidy, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Abadon, Hikaru Shida, and of course Chuck Taylor, always Chuck Taylor.

but we are angry girlies, and Tony? you won’t like us when we’re angry.

Mox is back! well, maybe not in AEW yet, but he wrestled in a warehouse in Wolverhampton, and we were for every last blood-smeared second of it. 

in other news, we’ve decided MJF is an honorary girlie (he just gets it, you know?), Jeans Omega entered the chat, and Swerve put his dirty shoes all over Hangman’s nice clean sofa and we’re not happy about it.

plus! as it’s our 20th episode, we asked you guys for your questions, and then we answered them. it's nice, like.

if you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us, consider buying a t-shirt, and hey - tell an indie wrestler you love them. xoxo

this week’s mysteries include: who are the four hyenas? what were Prince Nana and Don Callis plotting? can you be a moody goth and still dress up as Scooby Doo? and what on earth was Chuck Taylor eating, and do you think it’s relevant to the plot?

your two favourite horrible geese are back to chat all things AEW, checking up on the Elite, on MJF and his many challengers, on the women’s world championship, and on Orange Cassidy, of course, always Orange Cassidy.

we also found some sympathy for old men, and even remembered to pick a new champion of the week. one word of warning: things kept trying to go a bit Final Destination? so that’s a thing, maybe.

let us know what you think, or if you know the answer to any of our many questions! We’re @wafflybollox on X, Blusky, and Instagram, and also [email protected].

we’re in full on fight mode this week, because the internet discourse has just been so tiresome, and some people’s behaviour has really made us despair. (not you Tony, you’re golden.) sometimes you gotta do it, as our lord and saviour Orange Cassidy might say.

as always, we are pro-women’s wrestling, we love our baby boy Cole Karter, and we didn’t like it when FTR sat on the tag titles like grumpy dragons hoarding their gold. we’ve also got more ideas for Hangman, and for OC, and for all our silly little flippy guys that we just love so much.

so yeah, even in our worst moods we still love wrestling, as it turns out. xoxo, ya girls.

here’s the thing: if you’re the kind of person who laughs when other people are laughing, do not listen to this episode on the bus, or at work, or really anywhere else where you don’t want to feel embarrassed about laughing yourself sick, because this is one giggly goddamn episode.

things discussed include the ups and downs of Wrestle Dream, how broken-hearted we are about poor Mark Davis’s poor broken wrist, witchy girl gangs, alternate ideas for Don Callis’s family portrait, and the brilliance of bread-based wrestling gimmicks. 

we also take a moment to think about Kris Statlander, because she’s dreamy.

there was more talking than fighting on Dynamite this week, but that’s okay, we’re still having fun!

MJ and Sarah discuss Aussie Open in suits, poor Cole’s poor leg, and MJF’s naughty shenanigans, as well as trying to learn to count to eight men, pondering the nihilism of black mist, and admitting when we’re wrong (Will Ospreay is in the Don Callis family now???).

mostly, then, we’re in a pretty good place heading into Wrestle Dream. 

except we do have to protest about this whole “putting Kip Sabian in dark matches” thing: we demand to see Kip Sabian! we demand to see Kip Sabian sitting in Evil Uno’s lap!!! we know the footage exists!!!! where is it???

the wrestling cannot be stopped, and neither can we! despite MJ being poorly sick with COVID, we’re battling on to chat about the week in graps. 

topics include the brilliance of Rina Yamashita, concussion safety practices (love you Mox, hope you’re taking some time off!!) and the off-putting nature of WWE-generated wrestling names.

also, Sarah is still cursed to lose all her favourite indie wrestlers to foreign promotions, Kris Statlander is amazing, Eddie won much-deserved gold, and Hangman is the main character, he just is, and if you don’t like it we can’t be friends.

as always, we'd love to hear from you, whether that's via a review on your podcast app of choice or on social media - you'll find us on Twitter, Blue Sky, and YouTube as @wafflybollox

this might be our widest ranging episode yet, which is either brilliant or terrible, depending on your perspective. from the PWI top 10 to the joys of indie wrestling to the latest AEW rumours to neck health to our dream cast for the Great British Bake Off, we sure are talking about things.

best enjoyed sitting down with a cuppa.

what a week it’s been, eh? WHAT A WEEK. MJ and Sarah are here to dissect why a dark cloud has been lifted from All Elite Wrestling, fall into a Kenny Omega hole, and sing the praises of Maria Kanellis-Bennett.

we’ve also got ideas about the potential future of the Dark Order, and we spend quite a long time (although maybe not as much time as previously advertised) talking about how much we love, respect, and adore Orange Cassidy. 

we’re also going to need Tony Khan to start doing a better job of booking the women’s division, because we’ve seen Ring of Honor and we know it’s possible. 

this is our first episode to run longer than two hours. you’re welcome, or possibly we’re sorry? whatever works for you.

hey, did you know you can get off the computer and go and talk to other wrestling fans in real life?? MJ and Sarah took a trip to Wembley Stadium for All In, and were pleasantly surprised to find everyone was much nicer than they are online.

also discussed: the joy of seeing a favourite wrestler 33 years after buying the action figure, the importance of staying hydrated and not sinking into the swamp of sadness, the rules of Queen-based disrespect, the genius of MJF, and the significance of Will Ospreay’s pants.

detours included: Chuck Taylor, ChocoPro, indie wrestling in general, and the spirit of AEW. probably some other stuff too, who can say.
