Wednesday Night Fake Fights

We all got together and decided we might need a week off from Dynamite and so, we bring you our gayest episode ever: that's right, we went to the indies to talk about Effy's Big Gay Brunch XI! One of the premier Queer wrestling events on the calendars every year, the latest edition left a strong impression and since last week had us down we opted for some Queer joy this week. Join us for...

Content Warning for discussion of Sexual Assault.

It's a special edition of Wednesday Night Fake Fights as Ella and Erika are joined by the incomparable Bugs Maytrix and Mia Moore to discuss Mia's new movie, "Again Again"! And then after some thoughtful discussion on filmmaking and writing the trans experience into film we jump right back into the gutter to discuss AEW's Spring BreakThru ...

It's Chaos in Canada as the feud between Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley turns into GANG WARFARE between The Death Riders and New Japan's United Empire! Jericho chooses his opponent for Dynasty! Okada and Takeshita are still fighting, but now with basketball references! What's the deal with Kenny's guts? Thekla has the perfect first date suggestion! Queen Aminata is back! And all of the rest...

We're back and so is Dynamite as it emanated from the city of Winnipeg also known as "The Peg." And we're not the only ones who took some time off and returned in time for a little Canadian tour because Chris Jericho is back. That was sure a thing that happened. Kenny Omega and MJF signed their contract for Dynasty and we got a report on the state of Kenny's guts. PAC beat the holy hell ...

It was a rough week of Dynamite, but it wasn't all bad. Mike Bailey and Mark Davis continue showing why they both deserve to keep getting TV time. Will Ospreay made had his return match but nobody told him about the pool noodles apparently. Toni Storm is out indefinitely after catching a bad case of Black Dahlia to the back of the head, so Mina Shirakawa fought Marina Shafir in her place...

We're got your coverage of the last Dynamite before Revolution and it was kind of a banger! Speedball Mike Bailey gets their shot at Kyle Fletcher's TNT Championship in a re-match of one of the best C2 matches from last year. Takeshita and Hechicero team up against Mox and Claudio, Persephone challenges Willow for the TBS Title, and we finally found Roderick Strong... BUT WHOSE SIDE IS H...

Dynamite returned to Old El Paso, Texas (aka The Paso) this week with what was admittedly a bit of an off episode. There was still solid action throughout as Jon Moxley battled Hechicero is a real clash of styles match, Thunder Rosa made her challenge for the AEW Women's World Title and Kevin Knight battled MJF over the Men's World Title to open the show. Unfortunately, there wasn't a Ho...

Rough week, rougher weekend? Need something to listen to? Why not this wrestling podcast? Dynamite continues it's hot streak and it's been a good time for it when you consider how just about everything else is going. Mile High Madness steals the show with a chaotic five-on-five war, the women's tag titles were up for grabs again, and MJF and Hangman settle on the stipulation for their Re...

Did you need that? We needed that. Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland blew the doors down on the latest Dynamite and it might have signaled a sea change in AEW. But that was the main event. Elsewhere on a somewhat thrown together episode, Jon Moxley and Mark Davis beat the crap out of each other, Willow put the TBS title up in a four-way match, the Brawling Birds debuted, and Adam Page de...

Hamptercero summons a nacho cheez homunculus and that's how this week's episode opens. However, we did spend a little bit of time this week talking about AEW Dynamite and their final push before Grand Slam Australia! The Death Riders and Don Callis Family continue their open hostility, Roderick Strong's annoyance with Orange Cassidy comes to a head, and number one contenders for the Men...

Ella's back this week along with Hamptercero as we tackle an eventful week of AEW Dynamite! The thing that everyone's talking about came from the main event, but the entire show set the table for the big Grand Slam Australia show next weekend including great clashes between Kenny Omega and Andrade while Mark Davis attempt to take out Hangman Page! Meanwhile, the Death Riders' war with th...

Hamptercero returns to talk with Erika and Gef about the last Dynamite of January! The stage is being set for Grand Slam Australia in a couple of weeks and AEW brought out the big guns with three title matches on the card for this show. Kris Statlander and Thekla finally locked horns for the Women's World Title, FTR took on Davis & Doyle, and El Clon battled Mark Briscoe! Plus, Kenny...

We're back after a week off to recap the latest week of Dynamite! Maximum Carnage was great, but this week might have been better? Babyface Death Riders battle the Don Callis Family, Lance Archer shines again, the latest indie signees debut against FTR, and the future challenges the present as Speedball and Kevin Knight attempt to punch some of AEW's pantheon in the face. Also, we might ...

Pardon the pun, but Dynamite starts out 2026 with a bang! The first Wednesday Night Fake Fights of the year and while they could have played it easy with a big named show next week but no, they decided to go all out to welcome the new year! Shelton Benjamin collides with Jon Moxley in an Eliminator match, Sammy Guevara and the chip on his shoulder challenge Bandido, there's an Elite reun...

Happy New Year, goofs and graps fans! It's already 2026 by the time you're listening to this, but AEW had to throw a New Year's Bash to close out what was a great year for them. And damn, they sure don't use these holiday episodes as an excuse to take the night off. Jon Moxley turned in another gritty babyface performance, the National Title was on the line, and Willow and Mercedes renew...

The holidays are upon us and so is the World's End! Dynamite unleashes their Christmas Eve edition from the legendary Hammerstein Ballroom to wrap up 2025. The Continental Classic is practically a dead heat right now, but one man was able to punch his ticket to the semi-finals as an early gift to himself. Also, Bandido and Ricochet squared off for the Dynamite Diamond Ring, Marina Shafir...

Having trouble keeping up with the Continental Classic? Erika Warrens is here to very "professionally" gives a quick recap of the second week of matches!
