it's the pay-per-view from the depths of hell!!! or, as you might know it, AEW All Out 2024. went hard, that one, didn't it? we had MJF and Daniel Garcia trying to break one another's necks, Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale getting thumbtacks where thumbtacks shouldn't go, a shocking betrayal by the Blackpool Combat Club, and then, finally, the grudge match to end all grudge matches when Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page did unspeakable things to one another inside a steel cage match. we are delighted, worried, over-excited, over-stimulated, and ultimately sated. good stuff. can we have another one? links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com tshirts: ko-fi.com/wrassletrash/shop and use the code WAFFLY10 for 10% off at renderbomb.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

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 Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ t-shirts, hoodies, dresses etc: renderbomb.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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 this. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ t-shirts, hoodies, dresses etc: renderbomb.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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 tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

you know when we said last week we'd got all sensible? yeah, no, not so much this week. topics covered include: lipstick warfare, hair bobble violence, breaking the fourth wall with Matthew Jackson, and a variation on the trolley problem where we mostly concluded that we should never be put in charge of anything important. much to think about. much to giggle at. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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 discussion include how very sad Orange Cassidy is right now, how much we love a side of snogging with our graps, and cursed belts. also, it’s very possible neither of us knows what happens on dates in 2024. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

oof, what a manic weekend!  not that we watched, you know, that thing. instead, we’ve been gorging ourselves on indie wrestling courtesy of the GCW Collective, and then watching Supercard of Honor and having ALL THE EMOTIONS. every single one. did you know that we love Ring of Honor? because we do.  we also believe in workers’ rights, keeping receipts, and the sacred love between a wrestler and his best friend who’s also a wrestler and just happens to be beating hte crap out of him.  editing note: we had some serious technical problems with this episode and would have lost the whole thing were it not for our Zoom backup, so please forgive the reduced audio quality! links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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 @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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, from the ones with exciting things going on around them through to the ones that might as well go straight in the bin. if you guessed we’re not really into the trios belts you can have a gold star. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

it’s annual review time! there’s a new CEO at AEW, and it’s time to assess everyone’s performance. Best Friends? you’re perfect, carry on. 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, over on Ring of Honor, it turns out Taya Valkyrie does know what Boys eat, while Maria Kanellis-Bennett is getting possessed by Serpentico’s green mask and Orange Cassidy has learned a new dance. is wrestling the greatest art form of our time? it might just be. follow us:  @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com⁠ buy tshirts: ⁠MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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 triple threat match. follow us: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky, plus @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: wafflybollox@gmail.com buy tshirts: MJ’s t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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’ve come in at around an hour long except someone asked us to fantasy book an entire women’s Continental Classic, and that meant a lot of maths… but we got there.

this week, Tony Khan decided that he loves us and he wants to give us nice things, because this week on Dynamite we got chatty bits with the Young Bucks and Hangman Adam Page, a banger of a main event with Samoa Joe vs HOOK, plus the return of Rey Fenix and Chuck Taylor!!!!! we are beside ourselves. what a time to be alive. quick technical note: uh, Sarah’s microphone died at approx the one-hour mark and her computer automatically switched to the in-line one on her headphones, we know it doesn’t sound great, we’re working with what we’ve got, and also we have learned not to let our cats knock our microphones on the floor. sorry about that. normal service resumes next week. probably. follow us: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky email us: wafflybollox@gmail.com buy t-shirts: MJ's t-shirt shop Learn more about your ad choices.

bit of a sad one, this, because your girls are absolutely heartbroken to hear that Kenny Omega is seriously ill. we wish him all the best, and we will never complain about anything ever again because we just want Kenny to be okay. other topics of discussion include why the Devil should do a face reveal over Skype, a hotter-than-usual Hangman, and the moral imperative to put on intergender matches. plus!! it's time to announce our Waffly Bollox Listener Awards 2023!! did your fave win? only one way to find out!

not to speak too soon or anything, but that elusive feeling? the one that needs restoring? we’re kind of feeling it! firstly, we saw Hangman, which is always a pleasure, but he was feeling extra spicy and that was a particular highlight. then there was a banger of a Kip Sabian match, and we’ve got Kenny treats to look forward to. we dug Nick Wayne’s mum doing badass mum stuff, we love seeing Abadon when it’s not October, and we’re super into the build up to Athena vs Billie Starkz at Final Battle. we may have had some Serious Thoughts about a certain ROH angle and the ongoing bodyshaming of, well, basically everyone, let’s be honest. but on the whole, the feeling seems to be coming back.  also!!

sports maths, goth-baiting, and fake tan hospitals: your girlies watched AEW Full Gear 2023, and then had lots of thoughts about it! maybe watching five hours of wrestling in one sitting is actually good for us though because on the whole, we’re feeling pretty zen about everything. wrestling, you know? it’s good, that. speaking of, you can find us at @wafflybollox on X, Bluesky, and Instagram, you can email us at wafflybollox@gmail.com, and you can grab a t-shirt over at MJ's ko-fi shop!

have you lost that lovin’ feeling? not to worry, here comes professional wrestler Daniel Garcia to bring it right back!  this week, your girlies discuss Adam Cole’s beard, realigning the Elite, big meaty men slapping meat, appreciating AEW's broadcast team, Orange Cassidy’s friendship bracelets, and a brand new woman!!!  also we got worryingly obsessed with the literary and cinematic parallels various wrestlers are drawing with their storylines and we’re definitely gonna be disappointed when it all goes horribly wrong. here are all the tweets we referenced and didn’t explain well enough: https://twitter.com/EFFYlives/status/1722417470491820144  https://twitter.com/GarciaWrestling/status/172207197176295029 https://twitter.com/The_MJF/status/1722405179268665713 speaking of, you can find us at @wafflybollox on X, Bluesky, and Instagram, and also wafflybollox@gmail.com!

right, so, this week? this week we’ve got beef, and our beef is with you, Tony Khan, and we’re not joking this time, because some of your hiring decisions lately are seriously not OK. elsewhere, we do still love Kenny Omega, MJF, the Young Bucks, Hangman, Orange Cassidy, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Abadon, Hikaru Shida, and of course Chuck Taylor, always Chuck Taylor. but we are angry girlies, and Tony? you won’t like us when we’re angry. find us at @wafflybollox on X, Blusky, and Instagram, and also wafflybollox@gmail.com, with t-shirts available here.

you know what’s nice about having Hangman back on TV? we get to talk about Hangman. definitely didn’t do much of that when he wasn’t around. this week, we loved his match with Darby Allin, we thought Ring of Honor was great, we’re still sad about Best Friends, and we have some, uh, interesting thoughts on matches that Tony Khan technically could book for All In… links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Instagram, YouTube, and Bluesky @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash on X and Tumblr email us: ⁠wafflybollox@gmail.com tshirts: ko-fi.com/wrassletrash/shop Learn more about your ad choices.

Mox is back! well, maybe not in AEW yet, but he wrestled in a warehouse in Wolverhampton, and we were for every last blood-smeared second of it.  in other news, we’ve decided MJF is an honorary girlie (he just gets it, you know?), Jeans Omega entered the chat, and Swerve put his dirty shoes all over Hangman’s nice clean sofa and we’re not happy about it. plus! as it’s our 20th episode, we asked you guys for your questions, and then we answered them. it's nice, like. if you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us, consider buying a t-shirt, and hey - tell an indie wrestler you love them. xoxo Learn more about your ad choices.

this week’s mysteries include: who are the four hyenas? what were Prince Nana and Don Callis plotting? can you be a moody goth and still dress up as Scooby Doo? and what on earth was Chuck Taylor eating, and do you think it’s relevant to the plot? your two favourite horrible geese are back to chat all things AEW, checking up on the Elite, on MJF and his many challengers, on the women’s world championship, and on Orange Cassidy, of course, always Orange Cassidy. we also found some sympathy for old men, and even remembered to pick a new champion of the week. one word of warning: things kept trying to go a bit Final Destination? so that’s a thing, maybe. let us know what you think, or if you know the answer to any of our many questions!

we’re in full on fight mode this week, because the internet discourse has just been so tiresome, and some people’s behaviour has really made us despair. (not you Tony, you’re golden.) sometimes you gotta do it, as our lord and saviour Orange Cassidy might say. as always, we are pro-women’s wrestling, we love our baby boy Cole Karter, and we didn’t like it when FTR sat on the tag titles like grumpy dragons hoarding their gold. we’ve also got more ideas for Hangman, and for OC, and for all our silly little flippy guys that we just love so much. so yeah, even in our worst moods we still love wrestling, as it turns out. xoxo, ya girls.

here’s the thing: if you’re the kind of person who laughs when other people are laughing, do not listen to this episode on the bus, or at work, or really anywhere else where you don’t want to feel embarrassed about laughing yourself sick, because this is one giggly goddamn episode. things discussed include the ups and downs of Wrestle Dream, how broken-hearted we are about poor Mark Davis’s poor broken wrist, witchy girl gangs, alternate ideas for Don Callis’s family portrait, and the brilliance of bread-based wrestling gimmicks.  we also take a moment to think about Kris Statlander, because she’s dreamy. follow us on Twitter and/or Blue Sky: @wafflybollox @awfullywaffly @wrassletrash Also! there are t-shirts, did you know there are t-shirts? check em out: https://ko-fi.com/wrassletrash/shop Learn more about your ad choices.
