Wednesday Night Fake Fights

The go home Dynamite before Redemption was absolutely a week of professional wrestling TV that we watched and talked about. Was it good? That's for us to decide and you to also decide and form your own opinion on. But if you want to know what we think, here's an entire episode of our podcast to check out. Kevin Knight defended his TNT Championship ahead of his Men's World Title challenge, while Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay, and Jon Moxley formed an unlikely all-star team to take on the Don Callis Family! Also, Divine Dominion vs. Sisters of Sin in a No DQ match, The Bang Bang Gang has a challenge for The Dogs, Willow and Thekla have their face-to-face and Brodido throw down against ProtOkada. All this, plus, detachable gimmicks!

Light the fuse, claim a knoblin did it, and then start a local festival as an excuse to get together and grill!

We're in Boston this week which probably means Vintage CEO Time(tm) in the main event! Willow teams with Maya World and Hyan to battle Mercedes Mone and Divine Dominion in what could be previews for future title feuds down the line. Even if not, we love to see the women main event a Dynamite. Elsewhere, Kevin Knight thinks MJF's promises to him transfer to Kenny Omega, Darby sounds a lot like Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia try bringing the Men's Tag Titles to the Death Riders, and Andrade fights Jake Doyle for a shot at the National Title! A fun episode, to be sure. Plus, the origin story of Tommy Chompers is revealed in Cryptid of the Week and we have a suggestion for a tattoo Darby can get.

Lighting the fuse for fun and profit, but it's mostly for fun because there's zero profit in this. Let's go!

Dynamite hits the beach with an episode that completely shakes up the landscape of AEW just over a month away from All In. Kenny Omega bets it all on one last shot at MJF's Men's World Title with The Stip hanging over his head if he loses. Former friends clash as Konosuke Takeshita defends the International Title against Kyle Fletcher. Ciampa and Jericho clash in a battle of two dudes who are certainly guys. And the first match for Redemption is set in a Women's Casino Gauntlet match to determine the number one contender for Thekla's Women's World Title. Also, Mick Foley appears, Darby continues planting explosives everywhere, Andrade is overdressed for Florida, and Hampter leaves us all speechless. Don't forget to take hydrations breaks with this one, folks.

Can you light a fuse when it's 102 degrees and humid as the dickens? Let's find out!

Forbidden Door is in the books but there's still time for Redemption before AEW reached Wembly! Will Ospreay punched his ticket to the All In main event and gets the bonus reward of finally becoming a Death Rider. Aw, how sweet. MJF has to deal with the challenge of Mark Briscoe after they did their Squared Circle Cage Match at the PPV, while Kenny Omega is seeking another chance to get himself back into World Title contention. Elsewhere, the first Survival of the Fittest match took place outside of Ring of Honor to fill the vacant TBS Title, Jay White announced his plans following his return to AEW, Andrade suffered the wrath of Don Callis for his rebellion, and Kevin Knight defended his TNT Title against Lio Rush! And hey just do you know, this is the one year anniversary of the show! Did we do anything special to celebrate? Of course not.

Light the dang ol' fuse already, would ya?

The road to Forbidden Door rolls on through Houston-adjacent Texas with a show that we might classify somewhere in the good to weird range. Mostly good, but deeply weird in parts. Mercedes Mone and Hazuki had the match of the Owen Tournament for a place in the finals, Mark Briscoe and MJF choose their teams for the big cage match, and Brodido rides again against the Death Riders! Plus, Cope and Cage are grump old men, Kenny Omega squishes Tony Nese, everyone is pissed at Kevin Knight, and Ospreay makes us think about his... you know what I'll leave that out of the preview. Also, Hamptercero makes a blood sacrifice and we bring back the body horror.

Well now I guess it's time to light that dang old fuse, I guess there.

It's the first night of AEW's Summer Blockbuster in Cincinnati and while this past episode started out a little slow, the actual matches were about as good as you could hope from a named Dynamite! Ciampa and Jericho get serious, Kevin Knight continues making friends, and Mark Briscoe challenges MJF to actually find some friends! Briscoe also fought PAC in a great little back and forth match, Maya World stepped into the Women's Owen Tournament for an injured Sareee, and Orange Cassidy and Andrade have a simply delightful and sexy little TV match. ALSO! Shane Taylor challenged Jon Moxley as the war between Shane Taylor Promotions and The Death Riders rolls on and the finals for the Men's Owen Tournament are set as Swerve and Brody King do battle once again! Plus, we talk about old movies again and Hampter reveals ancient secrets for Pride month.

Just like the freakin' fuse, DUDE!

Happy Pride! We're back covering the first Dynamite of June and the first one in a couple weeks that was under three hours long! The match quality remains high as MJF defended his title against Rush in a no count outs match, Lio Rush whispered the secrets of the universe to Mark Briscoe, Mercedes Mone returned as the wild card in the Women's Owen to clash with Alex Windsor, and Mark Davis stress tested Will Ospreay's neck like never before in a Men's Owen semifinal match up. Plus! Mark Briscoe really hate MJF, further seeds are planted for Andrade's future Men's World Championship challenge, JetSpeed explodes, and Jon Moxley is trying to find the guy who started all this faction warfare.

Fix your hearts or die, but if you choose death would you mind lighting the fuse on your way out? Thanks.

Double of Nothing is in the books, we have a new Men's World Champion, AND WE'VE GONE MAD. Also, it was another three hour Dynallision and there's been an awful lot of them lately, huh? That aside, we all had a blast with this week's episode! AEW hits Philly and gives us a big Lights Out Street Fight between Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander in the main event. Also, The Men's Owen Hart Tournament quarterfinals wrapped up with two hard hitting matches, MJF has challengers lining up already, Jericho and Ricochet clashed again, and we had a wild Superstation Showdown Four-Way match. We also have Erika getting conspiracy brained over Toa Liona's hand, Cope and Cage explain disposable cameras in 2026, Hampter's brain can't contain all these zeroes, and we're running out of Metal Gear Solid game titles to use for these episodes.

We wanted to let an albatwitch light the fuse this week but it just kept pelting us with apples.

Do you feel it? It's a Dynallision! That's right, a three hour block of pro wrestling to get you ready for 14 hours of more wrestling over the weekend. A go home show, if you will. It was a solid night of wrestling too. Darby got to pad his defenses again, but Mark Brisco and Tommy Chompers renewed their rivalry in a bloody Anything Goes Match. Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong got their promised tag title shot against FTR, Jon Moxley tried slaying the dragon of Kyle O'Reilly in an eliminator match, and Will Ospreay battled Shibata and finally responded to Samoa Joe's taunts. All of this with a bit of a gambling theme behind it because you see, the PPV is Double or Nothing so we have to keep up the synergy with that theme. Plus, a bit of a rant about the state of the women's division in AEW is in there for good measure.

Snake, press the action button to light the fuse.

We're back at it with Dynamite from North Carolina where the action was as intense as a bartender trying to get Ric Flair to pay his bar tab! Okay, maybe not that intense, but it was another mostly solid effort from the AE Dub. Konosuke Takeshita continued to do things that set Erika's heart aflutter, Will Ospreay tests out the input for his new moveset, the Conglomeration rides again, and the brackets for the 2026 Men's and Women's Owen Hart Tournaments are announced with a couple cool surprises! We do get serious a for a bit and really kind of dig into what's not working about Darby's run as champion and the how the women seem to have been slotted into a specific spot on the show, but it's balanced out with plenty of levity on what's really going on in the Hyperbaric Time Chamber from Dragonball. Don't worry about it, just keep smiling!

Check your gravity levels at the door, grab a towel, and light the fuse!
