Join us after a long month away, only some of which Kat spent stuck trying to get home from Los Angeles. We’ll go over the events of AEW Revolution and discuss continuing storylines from Dynamite, Collision, and a bit of Ring of Honor in context.

[5:30] Zero Hour: comin’ in hot with the Costco Guys vs. the Infantry; white people continue to love Wayne Brady; Willow Nightingale, Lena Kross, and Chekhov’s belt defense; and we’ve shaken out the whole toybox of dudes for the 21-man Blackjack Battle Royale…

[15:09] Revolution, Act I: in medias res for Ricochet and Jack Perry in the ultimate Curls vs. Bald National title showdown; the impossible decision of when to pee during a PPV; FTR and the Bucks bring the drama (and lure Cope & Cage out from hibernation, finally); Toni Storm vs. Marina Shafir with no one at ringside, mostly (also: MINA!!); Mox retains the Continental belt vs. Takeshita and Kat’s pissed about it; the Billy Goat returns and presumably has no idea what’s going on! Bonus: electoral regrets.

[35:00] Revolution, Act II: an abrupt Women’s Tag Team Championship match between the Babes of Wrath and Divine Dominion leaves us wanting much more; Swerve and Brody determine for once and all who is Thee Most Dangerous (and Kenny stops playing Street Fighter for a moment); and Thekla and Kris go hard and sleazy for two out of three falls for the Women’s World Championship. We speculate on the women’s championship scene and the impending return of Mercedes Moné.

[50:24] Revolution, Act III: the Trios Championship gives us joy, new gear, and opportunities to sing along with Místico; DCF drama; Andrade and Bandido strip for the stars; we detour re: Ring of Honor’s new studio setup and Hechicero’s CMLL HeavyWorld Championship; Roddy gives in and accepts that he loves Orange Cassidy (at least as a projectile); we don’t enthuse about Darby Allin or The Dogs, particularly; and last but certainly not least: Hangman Adam Page hangs himself by his own dog collar, with his own stip that no one asked for, and we’re ready to talk about it (and the men’s championship scene)!

[1:35:50] Post-Revolution odds and ends: Kevin Knight and Okada have us hollering! We’re girding our loins for Dynasty! It ain’t a party unless it’s a Death Riders party! Whither Ospreay? Luchasaurus should not be driving! Plus: a teensy bit of catching up with Ring of Honor, including Trent’s Thriller dance and a lot of love for Maya World.

Join us as MORE SNOW, SNOW FOREVER, GO SHOVEL MORE SNOW, by which we mean we’ll talk about AEW Dynamite (February 18) and Collision (February 21), Ring of Honor HonorClub #155 (February 19), and House of Glory: No Turning Back (February 20), where we got up close and personal with some of our faves.

[1:36] AEW Dynamite from Sacramento, CA: cold opens aren’t just for Collision anymore! Tomohiro Ishii returns! Mox packs a Priority Mail box and seals it with a kiss for Mark Davis; even Dax the narc doesn’t deserve a WHAT? chant; Willow and Megan get meaty for the TBS Championship 4-way match; Hangman and MJF talk stips and invoke Cody Rhodes while AEW fans everywhere get in the kiln; the Death Riders attempt to channel the strength of the woof without laughing; Adam has a strong theory on Roddy Strong’s next move; Hook wins the #1 Recruiter Award at the regional sales conference; the Brawling Birds make their TV debut against Viva Van & B3CCA; Ospreay teases to please; and Kenny and Swerve finally do the thing (RIP Aubrey Edwards).

[1:00:17] AEW Collision from Oceanside, CA: Jet Set Rodeo rocks their matching gear against the Demand; aww, it’s the entire Jackson family! (what could go wrong?); a backstage vignette from House of Glory gets us talking about our experience at No Turning Back, including Andrade vs. Charles Mason and MJF vs. Zilla Fatu; Claudio Castagnoli, Josh Alexander, Marina Shafir, and Lance Archer mix it up nominally on behalf of CMLL; Tommy Chompers (hat tip to Erika) still seems pretty sane; the Death Riders and DCF respect Yuta’s new headgear; Megan Bayne and B3CCA (RIP) have a standby match; Thunder Rosa returns and faces Julia Hart; Thekla commands mere mortals to cheese in her presence; Private Party issues a challenge in front of the beer pong table; Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors threaten to make an enemy in Toni Storm; and FTR and the Rascalz inject some much-needed chaos into the men’s tag team title scene (and the Jackson family).

[1:29:14] Ring of Honor HonorClub, featuring a bevy of Aussie indie talent! We enthuse about Zayda Steel vs. the somehow-not-Australian Johnnie Robbie, The Meaty Don’t Kneel, Mark Davis vs. The Tuckman (Kat’s still Chelsea Dagger-ing), CastleRunners vs. North Shore Wrestling, and Captain Shawn Dean vs. Robbie Eagles. Plus: we’re excited about the rumors of a new studio show!

[1:37:05] We preview Mox vs. El Clon and Mark Davis vs. Brody King on this week’s Dynamite, report back from the Valentine’s Day Heels call with Will Ospreay & Alex Windsor, and tell you about our experience at the blizzard-wrecked toy show featuring Platinum Max Caster and Murder Grandpa Minoru Suzuki!

[1:45:59] A little Chatter Machine housekeeping for March, and the cat report! Plus, Kat promises a recipe for lentil soup (it’s in her Bluesky replies somewhere).

Join us as we melt snow to flush the toilet, and in the meantime discuss AEW Dynamite (February 11) and Grand Slam Australia (February 14), Ring of Honor HonorClub #154 (February 12), and the usual assorted & sundry graps!

[02:27] AEW Dynamite from Ontario, CA: Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland heat up, possibly due to lack of coffee; another ripping Death Riders/DCF trios match; gettin’ weird with Tommaso Ciampa vs. Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship; Orange Cassidy and Roddy Strong need a get-along shirt; Mina’s bi pride hair is violated; three-way wild-card tag-team chaos; we’re teased with Ospreay (and Styles?); the pitfalls of Internet Discourse; and Kris Statlander and Thekla whip the bejeezus out of each other for the Women’s World Championship (and Kat, predictably, has strong opinions).

[54:15] AEW Grand Slam from Sydney, Australia: Mox vs. Takeshita, the Continental Championship, and the power of improv; Kris and Thekla make some bloody videos; the Babes of Wrath take on MegaBad for the Women’s Tag Team Championship; Hangman Adam Page takes a new selfie and surprises us vs. Andrade El Idolo for the Men’s World Championship #1 contendership; Adam helpfully reminds Kat that several promos happened; we finally get the Hair vs. Hair match we’ve been gagging for, and it was everything (Yuta is a sheepdog?); Kyle Fletcher and Mark Briscoe hit the ladders for the TNT Championship while Kat dissociates; and MJF finally takes on Brody King for the Men’s World Championship and sets up the challenge for Revolution. Bonus: a glimpse at the fancams from House Rules Brisbane! How dare you keep this from us, Tony Khan?!

[1:22:23] Ring of Honor HonorClub: Sammy Guevara ratchets up the hateability; Tommy Billington threatens to smother Jay Lethal with kisses; Michael Oku and Amira grace us with their presence; we especially adore Julissa Mexa vs. Persephone; Dalton Castle and the Outrunners stay weird; JD Drake calls out Adam Priest; everybody dies; and Bandido, Komander, Máscara Dorada, and (hell yeah) Xelhua form an incredible lucha squad sent to destroy Smart Mark Sterling and his evil cronies.

[1:34:08] Miscellaneous graps: slowly catching up on GCW Superpower Slam and the Jersey J-Cup; crankin’ it in the HOG Corner with a preview of No Turning Back; plus: Double or Nothing comes to Queens? Tulips for Chuckie T?!

[1:41:46] Your faithful update on our perennial faves: Cats! Legumes!
