    Apr 4 2026
    We’re just a weekly wrestling podcast, standing in front of a wrestling promoter, asking for some decent storytelling… (00:00:00) That Thursday Collision really messed with our sense of time and space (00:03:42) The return of Chris Jericho to AEW, and jobs for the boys (00:15:56) Kenny Omega’s guts could explode at ANY MOMENT (00:24:36) Imagine working in an office with The Demand (00:28:53) MJF as the foreign heel (00:31:11) Speedball and Kevin Knight pass the vibe check, unlike some other people (00:33:12) The visible hands of Don Callis: Okada has nothing to do, Aussie Open are cursed (get well soon, Kyle!), RPG Vice had a run-in with Cope and Christian, Don is taking bribes from MJF and deploying Andrade to keep Darby Allin busy, and something something title shots how why what is any of this nonsense (00:49:52) Nothing in the women’s division means anything right now (00:53:32) How do you ruin a perfectly good grudge match?

    Chicanery, skullduggery and tomfoolery | AEW Dynamite and Collision 18-25 March recapped
    Mar 28 2026
    We're never accepting that a "double main event" is a thing, especially if it means women never get to be the main event. (00:00:00) Double main events are nonsense, plus news from RevPro: our new women’s champion, a Mercedes Mone sighting, and a big old heel turn from One Called Manders (00:21:05) Things the internet has been arguing about this week, featuring Brody King, the disappearance of Toni Storm, and terrible brand synergy with transphobes (00:39:43) Who killed Toni Storm? Mina Shirakawa took on Marina Shafir and Thekla in her absence (00:47:28) Updates to the number one contender for the men’s World Title belt (but no EVP status for Swerve Strickland) (00:57:27) Swerve’s Kenny-referencing gear suggests the Elite mindset extends far beyond just “The Elite” as defined (00:58:47) No thank you Darby, we don’t want any (01:05:42) Trent is allowed back on Dynamite and Jack Perry has a pet squirrel?! (01:09:05) Ospreay is gonna fight the Death Riders, but do we still care? (01:11:25) Let Lio Rush be a demon if he wants to be (01:14:13) Some other stuff is happening I guess but everything just feels a bit baggy at the moment (01:18:51) Happy times Email: wafflybollox@gmail.com Shop: ko-fi.com/wrassletrash/shop Learn more about your ad choices.

    The SEO company that keeps emailing us says we need to mention that we’re a weekly wrestling podcast. So hi, it’s us, your weekly wrestling podcast, with our rundown of what happened in wrestling this week.

(00:52:53) Trying to love David Finlay, but he needs to stop hitting Orange Cassidy (and say “shillelagh” more) (00:59:30) Is Mercedes Moné coming back soon? We miss her. Also, give us more Persephone.

    Tony Khan, we need a word. And also access to your calendar, because we’re pretty sure the reason we’re feeling unhappy this week is that your pay-per-views are unevenly spaced… (00:00:00) Mercury’s in retrograde (00:01:50) Pour one out for Jet Set Rodeo (00:20:08) What does losing the trios belt mean for Hangman’s chances at Revolution? (00:29:27) Thekla vs Thunder Rosa should have been the main event (and there’s no such thing as a double main event) (and you still can’t make us care about FTR) (unless The Iinspiration win the tag titles off them) (00:37.39) Orange Cassidy only needs one tag partner and it’s not Darby (it’s Toni Storm, give us more Toni Storm) (00:46:19) What storylines do we even care about now? Maybe Brody vs Swerve, a bit? (00:48:06) A bit of a crisis about the Opps… can we get Max Caster on the case? (00:50:34) The Death Riders and the Don Callis Family feud rumbles on (00:55:20) We’ve finally seen Yuta’s bald head (01:04:20) Andrade and his selfies, Jack Perry and the Demand, and other stories that aren’t progressing (01:06:39) Right, we’ve solved it, the problem is that the gap between Worlds End and Revolution is too long (01:08:24) Happy times (with a bit more ranting) Email: wafflybollox@gmail.com Shop: ko-fi.com/wrassletrash/shop Learn more about your ad choices.
