Hitting The Marks 04.14.26

About this episode

The episode discusses the fallout from AEW Dynasty, the importance of the midcard, the art of go-home shows, and the buildup to WrestleMania.

AEW Dynasty is in the rearview, and the fallout is loud. We’re breaking down what hit, what missed, and what it all means for a roster trying to find its center of gravity. We’re talking life in the midcard — the most misunderstood, mismanaged, and absolutely essential layer of any promotion. Who’s thriving, who’s stuck, and why the middle of the card tells the truth the main event won’t. Then we get into the lost art of the go‑home — why modern wrestling keeps fumbling the final pitch, and what it takes to actually send fans into a show buzzing instead of confused. And of course… WrestleMania hype season is here. The spectacle, the stakes, the chaos, the pressure. We’re sorting through the noise and calling out what actually matters on the road to the biggest weekend of the year. Sharp takes. Real perspective. Zero tribal nonsense.
