Join us as we feverishly record in between trips to the Hammerstein Ballroom. Fear not, this is a NO SPOILERS podcast! We’ll talk AEW Dynamite and Collision Holiday Bash from Manchester (December 17 and 20), ROH Global Wars UK (December 18), and the AEW Dark Stocking Stuffer (December 16). We’ll also talk about a few things we missed last week.

[03:02] Breaking news: Chuck Taylor’s surprise neck surgery! A lot of wrestling fans have a lot of questions. Kat shares some professional wisdom on cervical spine surgery and compares and contrasts Chuckie’s social media surgery pics with Will Ospreay’s. We talk donor bone (phrasing!), hardware, and gnarly bruises.

[11:04] What’d we miss? We go over a few highlights of AEW Winter Is Coming Dynamite and Collision (December 10 and 13), including the inaugural women’s tag champs Babes of Wrath, waking up the neighborhood for Speedball Mike Bailey vs. Kyle Fletcher, Hangman’s tension with Swerve, an awkward beer pour, building Stat vs. Hayter, and what to do if someone gets you in a tombstone and you don’t wanna be there.

[23:24] A pair of sweet BritWres collaborative treats: AEW Dark Stocking Stuffer and ROH Global Wars UK! We don’t know all of you, but we were very happy to see all of you. Surprise Nigel is best Nigel!

[29:03] AEW Holiday Bash: Dynamite and Collision, both chock-full of glorious C2 action! Mercedes and Athena take on the world while the Bang Bang Gang takes on FTR. You’ll never guess how we felt about the MJF promo – but don’t worry, we put ourselves on an egg timer (and overcooked the eggs). Paul Turner earns his NYC reception. Triller is a disaster. RevPro has a title change! Tons of speculation on the saga of Okada and Takeshita. And what should Mox call his face faction?

[1:17:00] A bit of looking forward to AEW Dynamite on 34th St and Christmas Collision at Hammerstein Ballroom (again, NO SPOILERS). Prepare to feast, friends!

Join us as we struggle with illness and home heating drama, but manage to take time to talk about Ring of Honor’s YouTube special (December 2), HonorClub Episode 144 (December 4), and Final Battle (December 5), AEW Dynamite (December 3), AEW Collision (December 6), GCW Say You Will (December 5), and assorted treats from CMLL and the indies!

[01:15] Quick recap: The Death Riders visit CMLL for Viernes Espectacular (November 28) and behave badly. It’s not hip to be gobernable. Claudio Castagnoli gets manhandled (and gets the gold)! Difunto gets his kicks in.

[07:12] A huge week for Ring of Honor, culminating in Final Battle! We bring you the highlights from the ROH YouTube special and this week’s HonorClub before a full recap of Final Battle. Will Dalton Castle nab the AEW National Championship? Which pure wrestlers will reign supreme? Is this the beginning of the Mercedes Moné crashout era? Will Bandido survive five other impressive men trying to eliminate him? Plus, Kat has a spicy take on the ROH women’s world championship title match and forever championships.

[59:22] AEW Dynamite and Collision recap: We walk story by story through the various feuds and friendships of AEW. On the men’s title scene, Eddie Kingston prepares to take on Samoa Joe while Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page continue their silent partnership. We sit awhile in the C2 Corner, where Jack Perry will be replacing Darby Allin and the Death Riders, Conglomeration, and Don Callis Family weave an unholy braid. The women’s roster enjoys a Hardcore Holiday Deathmatch and a champagne toast, while Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander forge a temporary bond to take down the Triangle of Madness. All the mid-level championships are in play!

[1:48:32] A visit to the indies for some much-needed nonsense! “Fancy” Ryan Clancy gets a little heely defending his IWTV title and Effy establishes his own crashout era on GCW Say You Will. We enjoy some intergender sicko stuff to cap off our week.

Thank you for listening! Please continue to find us wherever you get your podcasts.

Join us as we share our audience experiences from a crazy sickos’ weekend! We’ll also talk about the Thanksgiving episodes of AEW Dynamite and Collision (November 26 & 27) and Ring of Honor HonorClub Episode 143 (November 28), speculate on the Continental Classic, and give a preview of ROH Final Battle.

[1:00] A brief overview of our Jersey weekend, which included our first AEW pay-per-view event as well as our first indie show! Are wrestling fans as stinky as they say? What’s a Brazilian hot dog, anyway?

[03:12] Full Gear storylines and their Dynamite/Collision fallout: The Young Bucks reunite with Kenny Omega, the Casino Gauntlet/National Championship and Ricochet’s obnoxious champ era, the women’s four-way stipulation stipulation (and Toni Storm destroying/impregnating Mox and Marina), Sisters of Sin vs. Babes of Wrath on Dynamite, Boom & Doom vs. Rocky Romero & our close personal friend Trent Beretta, Bang Bang Boglehead Gang, the devastation of Brodido’s loss to FTR and speculation on the men’s tag division…

[31:06] AEW Women’s World Championship: a great match between Kris Statlander and Mercedes Moné, with a heaping serving of crowd misogyny. Kat tries to balance match talk with ranting, to mixed success. Then, Thekla vs. Tay Melo and Red Velvet’s promo on Collision lead us to more women’s title scene talk.

[43:20] AEW Men’s World Championship: we’ve all been going through it! The crowd experience of a shocking upset and even more shocking conclusion to Full Gear. We talk a lot about our feelings and about things that glimmer in the dark. Also: phrasing!, Eddie Kingston’s stages of grief, and Al-Anon fodder.

[1:03:42] It’s Continental Classic time!!! Now that we’ve figured out what it means and are appropriately hyped, we talk about the Full Gear matches involving the C2 participants and discuss the events of the first week of the C2 on Dynamite and Collision. Protokada?! Protoshita?!? Hard times for the babyface gang, but oh my GOD, Kevin Knight! Also, a detour about Mark Briscoe’s dinner plans, and a special chant for Mox.

[1:42:30] Ring of Honor Final Battle preview! Who will challenge Ricochet for his shiny new belt? Will Athena vanquish Persephone? How about Bandido defending his title in a six-man elimination match? Why no Swirl? As always, we talk about the pure rules division… now with surprise Nigel McGuinness!

[1:56:45] JCW Home for the Holidays: our first indie wrestling experience, at ringside! We had an absolute blast and learned a lot about the sacred duty of wrestling spectatorship. We also determine the appropriate thirst level for discussing Charles Mason, share the joy of cheering with little girls and nearly being ended by a flying Lee Moriarty, and engage in some absurd fantasy booking.
