There’s been a shadow cast over our wrestling joy this week, with grim real-life situations resurfacing and reminding us that you can’t trust anyone, and especially not corporations. 

We did still watch a lot of wrestling though.

(00:36:08) We manifested Bustah and the Brain

(00:39:28) Kris and Thekla are fighting already?!

(00:41:23) The benefits of a deep roster

(00:45:08) Penelope Ford is back in action!

(00:48:32) Have the Death Riders missed their moment to oust Moxley?

(00:53:52) Don Callis Family dramas

(00:57:40) Rounding up the men’s world title challengers

(01:07:14) Stop using women as props ffs

It's been a week of romance in AEW. Yeah, we know, we weren't really expecting it from a show called Maximum Carnage either.

(00:00:00) Ins and outs at AEW: The Rascalz, Hechicero, Persephone, and Mascara Dorada in, Will Hobbs out

(00:14:12) Mercedes Moné is a crashout icon

(00:16:37) Who’s been sending Mina Shirakawa flowers?

(00:23:11) Can we have a big meaty feud between Kris Statlander and Thekla please? And should we be overthinking the Cosmic Babes of Wrath’s black gear?

(00:33:42) Darby Allin is a fake and a fraud until he fights Marina Shafir

(00:39:09) Marked safe from FTR vs Young Bucks... for now

(00:42:03) Schrodinger’s Bandido and a gold star for Maxwell

(00:50:05) A Hangman-Kenny sandwich with a Swerve filling

(01:05:30) JetSpeed Hangballs

(01:12:19) The things that made us happy this week

we're back! did you miss us?

well, AEW Worlds End 2025 has been and gone, and we knew what was going to happen, and yet we're still irritated that it did. not angry, mind you. mostly, bored.

but we found some stuff to love, mostly Toni Storm and Orange Cassidy and Hyan and Maya World...

it's our final episode of 2025, and we've got some awards to dish out!!!

first, though, we're disappointed with MJF and with crowd responses to gross promos and the way all wrestling promotions book women.

but then we've got gremlins to count and listener awards to award.

an extra-long episode this week, in honour of the extra-long Dynamite - featuring the first ever women's Blood & Guts match! we got a bit overwhelmed. plus there was Hangman character stuff and fire and chaos, and as an added bonus, Ric Flair didn't feature on the show. good stuff.
