Professional wrestler Jay Joshua joins us to discuss trying to fit the title belt into his suitcase, his best ever sandwich, and why he's quite happy driving long distances by himself, actually... We also covered Jay's favourite empty arena match, the wrestling chants he hates, and traumatic kids' movies. Honestly, just endless joy.

There’s been a shadow cast over our wrestling joy this week, with grim real-life situations resurfacing and reminding us that you can’t trust anyone, and especially not corporations.  We did still watch a lot of wrestling though. (00:00:00) What did you watch this week? (00:04:21) Why are so many guys named in Speaking Out making their way back? (00:18:36) Will Hobbs confirmed gone to WWE (00:21:0...

It's been a week of romance in AEW. Yeah, we know, we weren't really expecting it from a show called Maximum Carnage either. (00:00:00) Ins and outs at AEW: The Rascalz, Hechicero, Persephone, and Mascara Dorada in, Will Hobbs out (00:14:12) Mercedes Moné is a crashout icon (00:16:37) Who’s been sending Mina Shirakawa flowers? (00:23:11) Can we have a big meaty feud between Kris Statlander and The...

we're back! did you miss us? well, AEW Worlds End 2025 has been and gone, and we knew what was going to happen, and yet we're still irritated that it did. not angry, mind you. mostly, bored. but we found some stuff to love, mostly Toni Storm and Orange Cassidy and Hyan and Maya World... links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollox.bsky.social email us: wafflybollox@gmail.com buy cool t-sh...

it's our final episode of 2025, and we've got some awards to dish out!!! first, though, we're disappointed with MJF and with crowd responses to gross promos and the way all wrestling promotions book women. but then we've got gremlins to count and listener awards to award. links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollox, @wrassletrash, @awfullywaffly email: wafflybollox@gmail.com support MJ:...

an extra-long episode this week, in honour of the extra-long Dynamite - featuring the first ever women's Blood & Guts match! we got a bit overwhelmed. plus there was Hangman character stuff and fire and chaos, and as an added bonus, Ric Flair didn't feature on the show. good stuff. links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollox, @awfullywaffly, @wrassletrash email: wafflybollox@gmail.com bu...

Blood and Guts is just over the horizon, and we're getting psyched. meanwhile, the women's tag tournament seems to be getting lost in the shuffle... but at least tag team law is being obeyed. Sarah and MJ run down the week in AEW with just a hint, a tiny soupçon, of RevPro thrown into the mix. links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollox, @wrassletrash, @awfullywaffly email: wafflybollox@...

it's the day after Halloween and we're feeling a bit spooky... and also, between the spectre of Hangman's Full Gear curse, Orange Cassidy's grubby hands, and the ghost of Chuck Taylor insisting, once again, on haunting the narrative, we're feeling a bit spooked. links and things: help MJ buy a new iPad: ko-fi.com/wrassletrash email: wafflybollox@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

WrestleDream or wrestling nightmare? we've not been huge fans of past WrestleDreams, but 2025's came promising lots of treats... plus, you know, it's an AEW PPV which means we got the old Heart Ratings out. because after all, aren't we all just watching wrestling to feel something?? links and things: Bluesky: wafflybollox, awfullywaffly and wrassletrash email: wafflybollox@gmail.com t-shirts: ko-f...

what's it like being a ringside wrestling photographer? Sarah aka BritWresPics has been doing it for more than two decades, and she's shot every British wrestler you care to name (plus some non-British ones). we had a big old chat with her about what makes a good subject for photography, why wrestlers are like cats, and how she made a memorable first impression on Tony Khan... find Sarah on social...

does it smell like dinosaur in here?? we're one week away from Wrestledream, and the matches are starting to take shape. we've got one demand: make the women's world title the main event!!! elsewhere, we're weirdly into the return of QTV, and we're still over the moon about having our beloved Orange Cassidy back. good shit. links and stuff: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollox, @awfullywaffly, @wra...

we're just really happy about wrestling this week, you know? so many of our fave little guys are back, we've had loads of time given to women, and we're even getting a women's Blood and Guts??? it's so nice when your hobby caters directly to your interests like that. we're having a great time. links and things: follow us on bluesky: @wafflybollox, @awfullywaffly, @wrassletrash email us: wafflyboll...

another AEW PPV at a time we can reasonably watch live in the UK?? Tony Khan, you are spoiling us!! we loved All Out, and not just because we were awake to watch it - wall-to-wall bangers, the return of Eddie Kingston, a Jurassic Express reunion, and a phone call from Orange Cassidy? and new World Champion Kris Statlander??? baby, we're so back.

fresh off of fighting Blue Panther at RevPro Global Wars, the North West Strong technical genius Chris Ridgeway joined us for a chat about ADHD, Pokémon cards, and why he doesn't wear kneepads. (why is it that the silliest questions always end up getting the most philosophical?) stick around to the end for a treat! get more from Chris: X and Instagram: @chrisridgeway__ Futureshock PC: http://www.f...

it's one week until AEW All Out!!! that came around fast!! Sarah and MJ are all in on Hangman mocking Kyle Fletcher's lack of socks, Toni Storm's four-way, and a brand new secret Death Rider!!! plus... is there someone lurking in the car park? links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollox, @wrassletrash, and @awfullywaffly email us: wafflybollox@gmail.com contribute to MJ's cat's vet bills...

sometimes Tony Khan gives us things we just don't want. even if they've taken two years to bake!!!!! this week's Dynamite was a mixed bag and we've got some complaints. but also, Athena has been our forever champ over over 1,000 days so that's worth celebrating, right? links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollox, @awfullywaffly, @wrassletrash email us: wafflybollox@gmail.com buy t-shirts...

we're baaaaack! we've been to that London and seen some wrestling. like, so much wrestling. between Forbidden Door, Pro Wrestling Ceasefire, Riot Cabaret, two nights of RevPro, and a Progress show, plus a new episode of Dynamite, we might be approaching dangerous levels of wrestling over here. but Hangman won so we'll be okay. this episode also includes info from the only man we'll let explain wre...

we're one week away from Forbidden Door so it's time to talk strategy. do you reckon they'll let us in with a pillow to sit on? and are we ever gonna get the women's blood & guts match of our dreams? also: AEW has signed some new people, TNA is on a hiding to nothing, and the Young Bucks let us laugh at them and honestly that's all we ever want. links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollo...

why are heels more fun than babyfaces, and why is everyone fantasy booking Hangman dropping his belt already??? we want to celebrate our sweetie pie good guys as well as our gremlins! the countdown to Forbidden Door is on, and Dynamite was extra silly this week, so we're in a good mood. nice, that, innit? links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @wafflybollox, @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash email...

the Forbidden Door opens in three weeks!!! that's so soon!! this week, we're diving into the Triangle of Madness, fantasy booking ways out of THAT angle that we still haven't forgiven MVP and MJF for, and advocating for de-programming sensitivity training for wrestlers new to AEW. or just, you know, everyone. also David Francisco continues to be our fave. links and things: follow us on Bluesky: @w...
