Only three hours of AEW to discuss this week, and mostly we’ve concluded that we have no idea what’s going to happen at All In, it’s ages away yet, anything could happen.

Weird one this week, wasn't it? Maybe a three hour show on a Wednesday is just a weird vibe.

Come for the episode recaps, stay for the increasingly unhinged fantasy booking. No, you're gonna like it, honestly.

Oof. Lots going on, eh? This week, we attempt to run down everything that’s happened since Dynasty, but unfortunately there’s a ghost in the machine (and it seems to be trying to type on MJ’s keyboard throughout?) (00:00:00) We try to remember how to do this podcast thing (00:09:54) We’ve got a new AEW men’s world champion since we last recorded, and we don’t like it (00:18:34) Maxwell crashout era? Finally?
