Talk AEW

AEW Podcast This week on Talk AEW, we discuss the on-screen romance between Sammy Guevara and real-life girlfriend Tay Conti and why wrestling fans seem to hate real-life wrestling couples. Are Sammy and Tay the new Cody and Brandi and how do we feel about them being planted in a storyline with Dan Lambert and American Top Team? All this and more!

AEW Podcast The alliance between Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson under the mentorship of William Regal was completely unexpected but thankfully, the Blackpool Combat Club is gearing up to be one of the hottest new factions in professional wrestling. The question now is who else will join the squad? AEW is filled with plenty of young talent, but only a select few would fit perfectly with the Regal's group. Having a close look at the current AEW roster, we decided to dedicate our main event this week and name the five wrestlers we think would make a great fit. But first, Ricky delivers his biggest questions of the week and Mariko delivers a full breakdown of Supercard of Honor XV, Ring of Honour‘s recent pay-per-view event. All this and more!

AEW Podcast In November 2020, AEW announced it had partnered with former WWE 2K developer Yuke's and WWF No Mercy director Hideyuki “Geta” Iwashita to develop the promotion's first console game on all major platforms. As huge fans of No Mercy (arguably the most beloved wrestling game of all time), we here at Talk AEW have been impatiently waiting for more news to drop in hopes that they will release the game sooner than later. Not much has been revealed so far and so we decided now was a good time to sit down and discuss what we would like to see included. But before we get to the main event, Ricky, Mariko, and Aaron discuss Chris Jericho's new faction, Thunder Rosa's big win, and Cody Rhodes signing with WWE. All this and more!

But first, Ricky addresses the question block, answering the biggest questions surrounding AEW this week. All this and more!

AEW Podcast Ask any fan what their favorite match was on Sunday's pay-per-view event, and you'll get a wide range of answers. This week on the Talk AEW podcast, we break down AEW Revolution and explain why we think it was another rousing success for the promotion. Of course, not everything was great, and we do set aside some time to pick apart the segments and matches that we weren't fans of.  Expect to hear a lot of praise for Hook, Jade, Eddie Kingston, and Wardlow! All this and more. Links: Podbean iTunes YouTube Spotify Deezer ListenNotes iHeart Radio Pandora. Twitter

AEW Podcast On this week's Talk AEW we break down the top questions of the week, including when is Jeff Hardy likely to show up, why aren't AEW ready to pull the trigger on a Proud & Powerful title shot, and whether  MJF is the most sympathetic heel on the roster. Then, on The Main Event, we make our predictions for the Revolution PPV on March 6 and speculate on who we think the wild card in the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match will be.

AEW Podcast Cody Rhodes is no longer under contract to AEW. He is a free agent, and sources close to the situation have confirmed that his next destination will be back where his career started in WWE. This week on the Talk AEW Podcast we discuss the shocking news and reflect back on Cody's journey in AEW. But first, we break down the highs and lows of this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.

AEW Podcast: Keith Lee Makes His Debut! This week on the Talk AEW Podcast, we sit down and describe what we think makes a great episode of Dynamite. We touch on everything from the production values, set, lighting, direction, promos, video packages, commentary team, wrestling and so much more. But first, we set aside some time to talk about the appearance of “Switchblade” Jay White on the latest episode of Dynamite as well as our impressions of The Limitless Keith Lee, who made his in-ring debut wrestling Isiah Kassidy of Private Party.

AEW Podcast This week on the Talk AEW Podcast, we discuss the disastrous promo Brandi Rhodes cut this past week on Dynamite opposite Dan Lambert and why we think both Brandi and her husband Cody Rhodes need to stop breaking the fourth wall. In addition to this, we set aside some time to review the hottest rivalry in AEW which came to a head in Chicago Wednesday night on Dynamite as CM Punk battled MJF in a grudge match months in the making. Make no mistake about it, it was a stellar match between one of the best wrestlers in the world and possibly the best heel working today. In our main event, we sit back and propose what licenses popular music that we think Tony Khan could purchase the rights to for certain wrestlers in AEW. Sit back, relax, and take a listen to the number one AEW fan podcast online, (or at least we like to think we are!). Links: Podbean iTunes YouTube Spotify Deezer ListenNotes iHeart Radio Pandora.

AEW Podcast This week Sammy Guevara and Cody Rhodes tore the house down during the hotly anticipated first-ever AEW Ladder Match to determine the undisputed TNT champion. It was a phenomenal effort by both men, but it was Guevara who stole the show with three incredible spots including an awe-inspiring vertical suplex from the top of a 12-foot ladder. And if that wasn't enough, to top it off, Sammy hit leapfrogged from the top of another ladder to deliver a cutter 30 feet in the air that brought Rhodes crashing to the mat and the crowd to their feed. It was an incredible match and an amazing end to the two-and-a-half-year-on-and-off feud between Cody Rhodes and Sammy Guevara who just so happen to have also wrestled the first-ever match on Dynamite. In honor of his incredible journey, we've decided to dedicate our main event to The Spanish God and look back on the career of Sammy Guevear so far. Before that, however, we discuss the ongoing feud between MJF and CM Punk and the surprise first AEW appearance by wrestler and social media icon Danhausen. All this and more!

This week on Talk AEW, we start the show by discussing a few things we don't like about AEW including the recent promos by Cody Rhodes and Dan Lambert. In our main event, Ricky, Aaron and Mariko each pick several wrestlers they would want to see in mixed tag team action along with who they think their opponents should be. All this and more.

AEW Podcast All Elite Wrestling is entering the world of trading cards and we couldn't be more excited! Upper Deck's first AEW trading card set will feature all the company's big names and Champions as well as Rare and Iconic cards, but is it worth the price? We have questions about which wrestlers will be featured, how much it's worth, and where to buy the cards. Meanwhile, in our main event, we discuss several wrestlers who have been missing in action over the past six months and debate who we think will make a comeback and who will get left behind. But first, we need to talk about CM Punk's brutal match with Wardlow. With Punk's feud with MJF intensifying with every week, the grizzled vet found himself in deep water as the big man dominated the match, overpowering and punishing Punk with his unbridled strength and a barrage of eight powerbombs, leaving Punk helpless on the mat. What did we think of this match? Tune in and find out!! Theme Song: “Retro Soul” via www.bensound.com Links: Podbean iTunes YouTube Spotify Deezer ListenNotes iHeart Radio Pandora. Twitter

Talk AEW Podcast This week, Mariko, Aaron, and Ricky spend the majority of the first segment discussing the nominees for the 2021 Talk AEW Podcast Awards. We go over every category, from best promo to best match to best pay-per-view event, and everything in between. Before that, however, we begin the show gushing over how impressed we were with Hook's in-ring debut on Rampage last week. And finally, closing off the show is a heated debate about whether or not the one-hour match between Hangman Adam Page and Brian Danielson was worth the wait. All this and more!

      Talk AEW Podcast This week on Talk AEW, we dedicate our main event to Malcolm Jacob Friedman, better known as M.J.F. Yes, folks, he's better than you and we are here to remind you why that is.

AEW Podcast: The AEW 2021 Yearbook This week on the Talk AEW Podcast, we shake things up with a little segment that we like to call The AEW Yearbook Challenge. The way it works is we each come up with four categories and ask what could possibly happen to our favourite AEW talent in the future. Have you ever thought about who might one day appear as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars? Or maybe you wondered which of your favourite AEW stars will end up in Hollywood making blockbuster action movies? If these questions are the sort of thing you think about often, then this episode is just what you need. Enjoy!   Links: Podbean iTunes YouTube Spotify Deezer ListenNotes iHeart Radio Pandora.

AEW Podcast American Thanksgiving and professional wrestling and have gone hand-in-hand for decades and this week All Elite Wrestling celebrated the holiday with an amazing episode of Dynamite that started with MJF and CM Punk battling on the mic for just over 22 minutes and ended with a fantastic eight-man tag team main event fueled by three intensely personal rivalries! It was wild; it was crazy; and so, this week on Talk AEW, we decided to look back at the very best promos ever cut on AEW. Also on the card, we discuss Daniel Garcia's ceiling and why Chris Jericho is wrong about him having a square head. We also offer Dr. Britt Baker some relationship advice and debate what Tony Khan should do with the overcrowded commentary booth on Dynamite and Rampage. In addition, we try our best to narrow down the exact moment the AEW fanbase turned on Cody Rhodes and explain how Cody can fix the situation moving forward. All this and more!

This week on AEW Dynamite, The American Dragon Brian Danielson switched gears during a face-off with the AEW World Title Champion Hangman Adam Page, transitioning from a respected babyface into a clear, antagonizing heel. The sudden switch caught plenty of wrestling fans off guard and so we decided to dedicate this week's episode of Talk AEW to— you guessed it— heels! In our main event, we discuss the best heels in AEW, past, present and future, and look back at the best storylines before debating who else we think would make a good heel. Before all that, however, Aaron and Mariko answer several of Ricky's weekly rapid-fire questions including who they would want to see the World Title next and who they want to see Dante Martin wrestle.

AEW Podcast After months of buildup and storyline developments, All Elite Wrestling brought us its annual pay-per-view event Full Gear, and for the most part, it did not disappoint. The fourth ever AEW Champion was crowned as Hangman Adam Page defeated Kenny Omega in the main event to win the AEW Championship. It was the culmination of AEW's longest-running storyline, and a great way to end the night! While the main event produced a new champion, perhaps the best match was that between Darby Allin and MJF which featured a good 22 minutes of non-stop action. And a close-second was the bloody brawl between CM Punk and The Mad King Eddie Kingston! This week on Talk AEW, we review Full Gear and discuss the many highs as well as the many lows such as the terrible ten-man tag team match between American Top Team and The Inner.

AEW Podcast: Full Gear 2021 This week on Talk AEW, we discuss the recent heated exchange between The Mad King Eddie Kingston and The Best in the World CM Punk. We explain why we think Punk came across as the heel and why we want Eddie to beat him at Full Gear. Speaking of Full Gear, in our main event we drop our predictions of who we think will win at AEW's upcoming and highly anticipated pay-per-view event and what surprises Tony Khan might be planning. Also, on the card this week; we touch on the recent news that WWE released yet again, several talents including Ember Moon, Keith Lee, Nia Jax, and Karrion Kross (to name just a few), and debate who we'd like to see in AEW.

But don't worry, we won't bore you by recapping the events of those shows— instead, we've carefully selected topics that will surely bleed onto future storylines both in the ring and behind the curtain. Get ready for Ricky's rapid-fire questions, some Danhausen love, and yet another breakdown of the ongoing Cody Rhodes messiah complex.

AEW Podcast: Thanksgiving Special! This week on Talk AEW, we discuss the AEW's gimmick matches, more specifically, the Casino Ladder Match, and if the rules make any logical sense. Surely, a blend between the Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank sounds like a great idea on paper, but does it work in real life? In our main event, Ricky, Mariko, and Aaron compile a list of the best matches of 2021 so far, which is no easy task considering there have been so many. And of course, Ricky delivers his rapid-fire questions. Get ready folks— not only does this mark our one-year anniversary special but it's also our Thanksgiving special. Enjoy!

AEW Podcast It was two years ago to this day that AEW Dynamite premiered on TNT. When Dynamite premiered, it marked the first time in 18 years there was a legit competitor to Vince McMahon's empire. And with AEW gaining momentum, the landscape of professional wrestling has certainly changed, and many would argue for the better. This week on Talk AEW, we discuss how the show has evolved over the past 24 months and how it can still improve— but before all that, we set aside time to discuss Sammy Guevara's shocking win of the TNT Championship against God's favourite champion, Miro. Was it too soon for Sammy to win the title? Should it have happened a week earlier at Arthur Ashe Stadium? We'll let you know what we think of the match and the win. All that and more!

AEW Podcast: AEW Grand Slam Review Grand Slam was AEW's New York City debut and marked the first AEW event to be held in its entirety within a stadium. It was also AEW's most attended event to date, with the promotion announcing an attendance of 20,177 people. This week on Talk AEW, we discuss why the event was lauded by fans and critics with particular praise towards the Kenny Omega vs Bryan Danielson match, referring to it as one of the best tv matches of all time.

AEW Podcast: Grand Slam Special, Part 1! It couldn't be a more exciting time for wrestling fans as the AEW is heading to Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York next week for two huge Grand Slam editions of Dynamite and Rampage. In addition to that, Rampage will be a two-hour show for the first time since it launched earlier this summer. And since AEW has never held a wrestling show in New York City, the hype surrounding the event is intense, to say the least! Now that the company has unveiled all the matches, we decided to sit back and discuss what we think will happen and what we hope will happen. One thing is for sure, the two-part AEW event is nothing short of a pay-per-view caliber card. From ongoing feuds to dream matches, this is arguably the biggest television broadcast in AEW history.

AEW Podcast On the heels of a monumental All Out pay-per-view, AEW hit the TNT airwaves with an explosive episode of Dynamite, followed by a stellar episode of Rampage. And this week, Talk AEW digs into both episodes by asking the tough questions on everyone's mind including if Brian Cage has a brighter future than Powerhouse Hobbs and asking when Tony Khan should draw the line when it comes to Max Castor and MJF's controversial promos. The gang also discusses Ruby Soho's in-ring Dynamite debut, the end of The Dark Order and whether Ric Flair will join AEW and manage Andrade El Idolo. In our main event, Mariko, Ricky, and Arron take on the difficult task of deciding the 50 best wrestlers in AEW. Mariko isn't happy that Ricky placed Malakai Black in the number one spot; Arron doesn't believe Sammy Guevara belongs on the top 10; and Ricky desperately tries to make a case to include one of his favourite wrestlers, Daniel Garcia, even if he isn't technically All-Elite, yet. All that and more. Enjoy! Listen to the show on Podbean iTunes YouTube Spotify Deezer ListenNotes iHeart Radio Pandora. Follow us on Twitter. Follow us on Instagram.

AEW Podcast: All Out 2021 This week on Talk AEW, we can't contain our excitement as we sit down and discuss what we think is one of the greatest pay-per-view events of all time! That's right folks, it's clobberin' time! All Out 2021 delivered plenty of big surprises including the first appearance of Adam Cole, Brian Danielson, Ruby Soho, and Japanese legend, Minoru Suzuki. We discuss why we think every match on the card more than exceeded our expectations and whether the AEW roster is now too bloated. We also debate if the Chris Jericho and MJF match was the best match of the night; if it was too early for Ruby Soho to get a shot at the women's championship belt; if Bryce Remsburg is turning heel, and so much more! There were honestly so many highlights, it is pointless listing them all. You just got to tune in and find out!

This week on Talk AEW, we discuss how much Dynamite has evolved since it first premiered three years ago on October 2, 2019. Yes, folks, the show has greatly improved overall— from its production values to video packages, promos and bookings— and everything in between. And let's not forget the all-star roster which now includes superstars such as CM Punk, Sting, Christian Cage, Ricky Starks, and stars in the making such as Daniel Garcia and 2.0. Take a listen!

AEW Podcast This week on Talk AEW, we start the show by discussing the Dan Lambert storyline, including his Jim Cornette-style promos and how we feel about his involvement with Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky. Also on tap is our thoughts on the killer promo by Don Callis; Colton Gunn's impressive winning streak and our thoughts on the most recent episode of Dynamite which we felt was oddly paced and badly booked. In our main event, we look ahead and drop our predictions for AEW's upcoming pay-per-view event, All Out. We'll let you know who we think will win and what surprises AEW might bring.

AEW Podcast For the first time in almost two years, All Elite Wrestling returned to Chicago in what could be the most important episode of AEW TV since Dynamite's debut. Labeled “The First Dance”— an obvious allusion to the Michael Jordan-produced documentary “The Last Dance”— CM Punk made his anticipated return to wrestling after seven years in retirement on Friday's episode of Rampage. Yes, folks, the best in the world is back and we have a lot to say about it! This week on Talk AEW, we discuss Punk's return and what we hope to see from the former WWE champion moving forward. As always, Ricky delivers his usual rapid-fire questions and ending the show is our discussion of the ‘Five Labors of Jericho' and why the ending left us wanting more.

AEW Podcast After months of hype and buildup, the first episode of AEW Rampage is in the rearview mirror, and we couldn't be any happier with the show so far. Not only was the card was stacked with three title matches but Tony Khan made room for two big surprises— first by offering Fuego Del Sol a contract and second, with the show-closing return of Jamie Hayter as Britt Baker's sidekick. Oh, and let's not forget Christian Cage defeating Kenny Omega for the Impact world title! We have plenty to discuss this week as we take a closer look at AEW's new show and explain why we think the one-hour format is perfect for an industry notorious for overly bloated television shows. Before all that, however, we do set aside time for Ricky's rapid-fire questions. All this and more!

This week on Talk AEW we discuss the utterly bizarre promo by The Elite, Hangman's future, The great TNT championship match between Lee Johnson and Miro, and the stunning AEW debut of Daniel Garcia and 2.0! We also discuss the Five Labors of Jericho, his match with Juventud Guerrera, and the wave of WWE releases including Windham Lawrence Rotunda (a.k.a. Bray Wyatt) and Rick Flair, to name a few. And wait that's not all— in our opening segment we managed to squeeze in discussion about Max Castor's recent controversy, Ruby Soho rumours, and AEW ticket sales. In our main event, we review the in-ring debut of Malakai Black who defeated Cody Rhodes in what was a shocking ending to Dynamite. Will Cody retire? Can Black win the World Title next? Would we want to see a feud between Hangman Adam Page and Black? And does the TNT championship mean more to the fans and wrestlers than the World Title? We have so many questions that need answers. All this and more!

This week on Talk AEW, we discuss the Five Labours of Chris Jericho; his match with Nick Gage; and the shocking announcement that Juventud Guererra will be his next opponent. We also speculate who Jericho's final two opponents will be and debate if the Big Show, Sammy Guevara, Lance Storm, and/or Stephan Amell could be possibilities? Other topics we discuss include Fight for the Fallen, CM Punk's debut in AEW; where Daniel Bryan fits in and if Braun Strowman can still make an appearance on Dynamite. All this and more!

AEW Podcast AEW presented the second night of Fyter Fest this week and it did not disappoint. Along with two massive title matches, we also saw the AEW debut of Chavo Guerrero, the first match in the 5 Labours of Jericho challenge, and the shocking appearance of Nick Gage. If that wasn't enough, rumours have not stopped circulating that both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan have signed with AEW. It's a jam-packed week of wrestling news and we have a lot to discuss! In our main event, we talk hardcore wrestling, deathmatches, and whether or not we want to see Gage wrestle on Dynamite. Ricky D discusses why he believes Tony Khan is building a wrestling cinematic universe and Arron and Mariko chime in on which wrestlers they would want to see join AEW. Of course, we also have Ricky's weekly rapid-fire questions and towards the end of the show, Ricky, Mariko, and Aaron argue about WWE. All this and more!

AEW Podcast On the heels of a string of big episodes of Dynamite that included the debut of Malakai Black, Andrade El Idolo— not to mention the return of a sold-out crowd—  AEW presented Fyter Fest Night One with Darby Allin and Ethan Page headlining the main event in the company's first-ever Coffin Match. In our main event of this episode of Talk AEW, we break down that match and compare it to gimmick matches from the past, most notably the famous WWE casket matches involving The Undertaker. This week, we also bring back our rapid-fire questions and discuss why one of AEW's biggest strengths is rematches— or rather the lack of them. Other topics we touch on include: The IWGP United States Championship Match with Jon Moxley vs. Karl Anderson; The FTW Championship Match between “The Machine” Brian Cage vs. Ricky Starks; The awful match between Christian Cage and Matt Hardy; Why we are disappointed Penelope Ford lost yet again; Why we love Sammy Guevara and what we think of Wheeler Yuta; Alex Abrahantes' sporting a new look; Which TNT championship belt we like most; And why the Cody Rhodes/Malakai Black feud reminds us of classic westerns.

Malakai Black, and what they expect from him in the near future. In the main event, the crew sets aside some time to discuss the debut of Andrade El Idolo who wrestled Matt Sydal, and why they were somewhat disappointed with his first match. This leads into a conversation about which AEW wrestler will be the first to leave the company and jump to WWE. All this and more!

AEW Podcast After a short hiatus, Talk AEW is back with another jam-packed episode! In our opening segment, Ricky D and Aaron Santos review the highly anticipated match between The Spanish God Sammy Guevara and Maxwell Jacob Friedman. Spoilers; while we were impressed by Sammy's high-risk maneuvers (not to mention his Canadian Destroyer), we were also somewhat disappointed with the match, most notably the piledriver from the top rope and the interference towards the end. In our main event, Mariko McDonald joins the conversation as the crew discusses the future of the company and how going back on the road and having a crowd will most likely change some of the plans AEW has for its roster. All this and more! Theme Song “Retro Soul” via www.bensound.com Listen to the show on Podbean, iTunes, YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, ListenNotes, iHeart Radio, and Pandora.

AEW Podcast This week on Talk AEW, we begin the show by catching up on the past two episodes of Dynamite which aired on a Friday night. We share our thoughts on the Mark Henry and Andrade joining AEW; Jungle Boy's title shot; the ongoing feud between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle— and why we dislike watching wrestling on Friday nights. In our main event, we address the rumours that the Elite are arguing with each other behind closed doors. Does anyone else get the feeling that when watching Dynamite, it sometimes feels like two different wrestling promotions? Why is it that Cody Rhodes never crosses paths with The Young Bucks nor Kenny Omega? Meanwhile, Hangman Page never crosses paths with either of those factions, and AEW seems no longer interested in having him fight for the World Title. What is going on here? Finally, ending the show is a discussion about AEW's roster. Is it too crowded or can AEW easily pick up some new hires such as some of the talent recently released from WWE? And how should they handle who wrestles on which show once Rampage premieres? All this and so much more!

AEW Podcast: Double or Nothing Review AEW hosted their first PPV with a full crowd since early 2020 and boy, it did not disappoint! After Revolution, Double or Nothing was AEW's second pay-per-view of 2021, and apart from a few minor hiccups, the event was bigger, better, and far more entertaining thanks to the crowd who injected a   hefty dose of high energy and of course, the talent, who all delivered a great performance. On this episode of Talk AEW, we choose our favourite moments and biggest highlights from the event and break down every match from the opening buy-in bout between Riho and Serena Deeb to the Stadium Stampede match, which saw Chris Jericho's Inner Circle defeat MJF's The Pinnacle. Expect Ricky to rant about how Kenny Omega retained his AEW Championship and rave about why he believes Jungle Boy deserves to be the next champion! Mariko shares her love for Britt Baker and Shida's match and Aaron explains why he believes Brian Cage and Hangman Adam Page stole the spotlight. All this and more!  

This week on Talk AEW, we set aside some time during Ricky's rapid-fire questions to address some events that took place on the most recent episode of Dynamite including Christian Cage's match with Matt Sydal and the ongoing feud between Cody Rhodes and Anthony Ogogo?

This week on Talk AEW, we have plenty to talk about including the Jon Moxley match with Yuji Nagata and the use of the song “Wild Thing” by The Troggs as his entrance music. We rate the promos by Cody Rhodes and Tully Blanchard, discuss Orange Cassidy's injury, and rant about why we think AEW did a disservice to SCU who ended a nine-year run as a tag team after losing to the Young Bucks. In our main event, we look back at Darby Allin's incredible reign as the TNT Champion and discuss why we think it is the best title run by anyone in AEW so far.   In our bonus segment, we break down the ongoing feud between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle and discuss what we hope to see at the Stadium Stampede match which is scheduled for AEW's next pay-per-view event, Double or Nothing.

This week AEW Dynamite featured an outstanding match between Hikaru Shida and Tay Conti as well as a stellar main event with Darby Allin and Jungle Boy. Both matches proved AEW is loaded with young talent and got us thinking who we would consider AEW's most valuable young stars. In our main event we tackle this question and debate which ten wrestlers we think AEW should secure for the next ten years. Kicking off the show is Ricky's rapid-fire questions and this week we end the show with a little game of twenty questions, courtesy of Aaron Santos. All this and more!

AEW Podcast The first match on AEW Dynamite this week between The Young Bucks and Pac and Rey Fenix, lasted nearly 30 minutes. It's safe to say that since Matt and Nick Jackson just turned heels, we all knew the outcome and we all knew they weren't losing the match. That said, it was an amazing match, worthy of a pay-per-view main event which has us asking if AEW is booking too many great matches for free on television? Before we get to that, however, we address the storyline between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle as well as Iron Mike Tyson. We also set aside some time to discuss how many true babyfaces AEW has in its roster and try to make sense of the main event between Darby Allin and Matt Hardy. All that and more.

AEW Podcast: The Inner Circle is Back in Black! This week on Talk AEW, we review Chris Jericho's epic promo which perfectly set up the announcement of the first-ever Blood & Guts match, to be held in Jacksonville Florida on May 5. The worst is yet to come for The Pinnacle but before we get to that event, we have plenty to discuss including the appearance of Mike Tyson and whether it was too early for the Inner Circle to bury MJF and his new faction again. In our main event, we express our frustration in seeing both Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks constantly in main event matches and why we think it's a bad idea for all three men to hold championship titles at the moment. And as we do every week, Ricky kicks off the show with his rapid-fire questions. All this and more!

AEW Podcast This week on Talk AEW, the months-long feud between Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, Miro, and Kip Sabian came to a head with a balls-to-the-wall Arcade Anarchy match on AEW Dynamite— and boy do we have a lot to say about it. Spoilers, everyone on this podcast absolutely loves how the story culminated. But before we rave about “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy, his new entrance music, or the surprise return of both Trent and Kris Statlander— we set aside some time to debate whether it was a good idea for Christian Cage to wrestle Frankie Kazarian in his first single's match in seven years. Did Cage look exhausted and is he really that rusty in the ring or was he just putting on a show and selling a story? And of course, we open the show with Ricky's rapid-fire questions which this week addresses Q.T. Marshall's double-crossing, backstabbing, and villainous turn on Cody Rhodes as well as The Inner Circles comeback and massacring of The Pinnacle live on Dynamite. All this and more! Listen to the show on Podbean, iTunes, YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, ListenNotes, iHeart Radio, and Pandora.

This week on Talk AEW, we kick off the show with Ricky's rapid-fire questions and address, the drop in ratings of Impact, despite Kenny Omega's appearance along with his recent match with Matt Sydal. We also touch on why AEW Elevation; the barrage of amazing promos delivered on Dynamite and the questionable (if not terrible) acting on the part of The Young Bucks. In our main event, we discuss the current storyline involving Q.T. Marshall; whether Cody Rhodes is turning heel, and what AEW can do with the Nightmare Factory moving forward. Finally, ending the show is a discussion about the TNT Championship. We look back at some of the best matches from the past including the recent battle between Darby Allin and John Silver and what AEW can do to further add prestige to the championship belt. All this and more. Listen to the show on Podbean, iTunes, YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, ListenNotes, iHeart Radio, and Pandora.

AEW Podcast This week's edition of AEW Dynamite was a night of firsts. Not only was it the first time a women's match was in the main event, but it marked the first time the AEW Women's Division had an Unsanctioned Lights Out Match. This week in our main event, we gush over Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker who knocked it out of the park and delivered a five-star match, battering each other with chairs, ladders, piles of thumbtacks, and tables. Before that, however, we kick off the show with Ricky's rapid-fire questions and dig into the drop in viewership for AEW Dynamite as well as the record-breaking ratings of AEW Revolution which was the highest-grossing non-WWE wrestling pay-per-view event since 1999. Other topics discussed include the use of managers in AEW; Brian Cage's recent speech; Jade Cargill's charismatic presence, and whether Cody Rhodes is the next Triple H. All this and more.

AEW Dynamite Podcast Wednesday's live post-Revolution edition of Dynamite set up a half dozen new storylines and featured the Dynamite debut of several new stars including Maki Itoh, Ethan Page, and Christian Cage who might have gotten the ball rolling on a feud with the current World Champion, Kenny Omega. We'll sit down and discuss what we expect from the former WWE superstar and whether he should be gunning for a title so soon. In our main event we discuss the jaw-dropping double swerve which saw MJF turn his back on the Inner Circle and introduce a new faction which includes him, FTR and Shawn Spears. Obviously, we are all excited about the return of Sammy Guevara but how do we feel about what unfolded during the Inner Circles' War Council. You'll just have to tune in to find out.
