MJF and Will Ospreay went a whole hour on Dynamite this week. guess how long we spent talking about it? (spoiler: it’s less than an hour, don’t panic.) We also checked in with all our faves to see what they were up to, and then played a game revolving around that list of unused wrestler names Chuck Taylor came up with that one time, because we are nothing if not silly. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us:...

this week's wrestling was BRUTAL. we had an evil dinosaur taking out Kip Sabian, an unexpected cameo from Darby Allin beating up Brandon Cutler, and then Mariah May, well, Mariah May broke everyone's heart, especially Toni's. also, Hangman is not gonna main event All In? we have some thoughts. have a listen! links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: wafflybollox@gmail.com MJ’s tshirt shop Pride shirt: render...

he’s back! he’s back! Hangman Adam Page is back and he is angry! also MJF did murder live on television, and we got some extremely fun questions from listeners. this week was an emotional rollercoaster and we loved it all, even though we were wrong about literally everything we predicted in our previous episode. but it’s fine, we’re still happy! links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: wafflybollox@gmail.com...

Cymru am byth!!! we also saw the beginning of the Owen Hart Foundation Cup tournament this week, and we are eyeing that "wildcard" slot with great suspicion... and we're also side-eyeing all the wrestlers who got all up in one another's faces this week but didn't do any smooching. go on, someone do some kissing please. please? links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, Yo...

happy birthday to us! yep, your fave wrestling podcast is one year old this week, somehow?? and we haven't grown up even one tiny bit. as you'll find out when you listen to this episode and we're still wailing about our special little guys. we're having a bit of a sulk this week actually, because we see where a certain storyline seems to be going and we do not like it!!!!! but it's fine, Christian Cage has got our backs, we're pretty sure. wanna buy a cool t-shirt and support a good cause?

this week we are saying a big old thank youuuuuuu to Renee Paquette for fixing our hearts with her Chuck Taylor interview. we thought we were gonna get hurt and instead we might have been… healed? we’re also still finding the learning tree hilarious, we’re happy to see MJF back, and we love Mariah and her love triangle but we’re a bit worried the internet is gonna make it weird. also, for the love of deathmatch, CAN WE GET HANGMAN BACK NOW PLEASE? links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram,...

how do you solve a problem like Team AEW being significantly less likeable than Team Elite? we’ve got a foolproof solution and… yeah it’s Hangman, there’s no suspense there really, it’s just Hangman. also this episode, Trent wore a very nice suit that looked like it fitted him really well and we liked that, but we didn’t like what he did to Orange Cassidy (again) and we also really want to warn wrestlers not to go to Dracula’s castle. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and...

it’s Double or Nothing Eve, and your girlies are VERY EXCITED. and since the PPV is this weekend, we decided not to worry about what’s gonna happen in various ongoing storylines and instead just spend our time making a list of everything we popped for this week. lovely things include gremlins being gremlins, Malakai’s epic Carrie job, vampire lore and new wedding traditions, and the indelible image of Darby Allin marching down the ramp with a flamethrower. after a very sad few weeks, we deserved...

after an unscheduled break last week, we're back!!!!! so now we've got two weeks' worth of wrestling to fit in, including what the gremlin Elite have been up to lately, why we want Cope and Mercedes to embrace the dark side, and, you guessed it, we're fantasy booking Hangman again. also, the ghost of Chuck Taylor haunts the narrative. minor silliness ensues. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: wafflybol...

Orange Cassidy got on the microphone and said “I hate this”, and you know what, we felt that. Chuck Taylor is never going to wrestle again and so we will never be happy again. luckily we saved a couple of our games from last week so we had something to cheer us up at the end, but listener beware: this one gets real weepy in the middle. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: wafflybollox@gmail.com buy tshi...

we’re sad girlies this week. Trent Beretta gave his Best Friend Chuck Taylor an ultimatum and then they made each other bleed about it in the parking lot at Daily’s Place. we are soft of heart and this was a lot to handle. (but there were light tubes, which is always nice!) also this episode, we are big fans of piledriving billionaires, we’ve solved the Hangman problem, and we, um, played a game of going “do do do” to the tune of wrestling themes. it’s harder than it sounds. links and things: @w...

Adam Cole’s evilest face? and new world champion Swerve Strickland? SO MANY HEARTS. we also tried to make Chuck Taylor a triple crown champ using AI. it goes about as well as you’d expect. in short? biiiiiiig gremlin energy. links and things: ...

well, the Bucks said they were gonna show backstage footage from All In, and boy did they. the internet fully exploded as security camera footage of CM Punk’s violent altercation with Jack Perry behind the scenes of AEW’s biggest show ever was aired as part of this week’s episode of Dynamite. and if we’d recorded this episode on, say, Thursday, there might have been most unhinged cackling, but actually we’ve had some time to think about it and we’re being quite sensible. other topics of discussi...

our hearts are broken this week, and yes we know never to trust a wrestler, but there are definitely some wrestlers we thought would never hurt us, and yet… here we are. broken. bruised. (still very ready to give Chuck Taylor a big hug.) this week’s Dynamite was an emotional one, but at least we had Toni Storm to pick us up. also, somehow we still managed to talk about Hangman for a bit this week? how? only one way to find out… links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesk...

if Hangman was a flavour of crisps, what flavour would he be? honestly, we can’t promise you any kind of answer to that question. this week, we’re just kind of all over the shop, but we did really love the two tag tournament matches on Dynamite this week, because we love our EVPs and we love our boys, and someone’s gonna win the big one so why not them? this is a silly one. we’re not even going to apologise. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and...

good news: we’ve solved one of wrestling’s great mysteries! how do you attract casual fans? show them Orange Cassidy and a hardcore match. you’re welcome! this week Dynamite and Rampage were live back to back on Wednesday like a giant wrestling club sandwich, and that did throw us off our game a bit. how are we meant to know what day of the week it is if our shows move around? it’s okay, though, we got it together enough to take a tour through every championship title in AEW and Ring of Honor, f...

Wardlow? well… you’ve got some work to do. yep, Mercedes Moné made her entrance at Big Bu$iness, so it seems like things are gonna change around here! ideally, starting with changing everyone’s contracts so that when they wanna leave the company they can just hand in their notice rather than doing nonsense on Twitter? that’d be great, we reckon. meanwhile, ov...

what better Valentine’s Day gift could we possibly have asked for than a Texas deathmatch? Orange Cassidy and Matt Taven bloodied up the canvas, the floor, the tables, each other, and everything else in sight, and it was delightful. unfortunately, people are still booing Hangman, so we’re less happy about that. but hey, Rocky Romero is here to stay and we’ve got our first official announced Will Ospreay match, so overall things are… pretty good? pretty good. even if we don’t know the rules of a ...

your girlies (gn) are back and are having a lot of feelings about what happened in wrestling this week! Hangman vs Swerve III happened, for one thing, and we’ve got strong opinions on who’s actually the babyface in this whole feud. Dalton Castle’s “friend” didn’t get to wrestle Johnny TV, which seemed a bit unfair. and the Undisputed Kingdom are very much in our bad books because: why would you attack Chuck Taylor? why would you do that? don’t you have a heart??? this whole thing probably would’...
