The AEW-some Pod w/ Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince & Gringo Fantastico

This week on AEW-Some Pod (Episode 231), Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico break down a packed night of AEW action from Charleston featuring Darby Allin’s wild title reign, MJF agreeing to put his freshly imported hairline on the line, Jon Moxley’s ongoing recruitment of Will Ospreay, and one absolutely unhinged amount of storyline overlap. The crew dives into Sting’s emotional tribute to Ted Turner, Darby vs. Kevin Knight stealing the night, Okada chasing more gold, and whether AEW may finally be setting up a major Ospreay heel turn. Plus: live crowd insight from Diana in the building, Gringo’s continued war against underwhelming finishers, and the official debut of “How You Know?” as the greatest catchphrase in wrestling today.

AEW-some Pod Episode 226. Darby Allin is your AEW World Champion and apparently he's defending that thing every single week until his body physically stops working. This week's victim: Tommaso Ciampa, who bled all over the place and still couldn't get it done. Plus MJF cries about the Seattle Screwjob, Kevin Knight shuts him up, Mark Davis puts Ospreay down with a piledriver on the apron, Samoa Joe is back and immediately terrifying, Jericho's mystery partners turn out to be Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, and MVP (just business), and Brody King challenges Darby for next week before the confetti even hits the floor. Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico break it all down.

The AEW-Some Pod is back for episode 223 with hosts Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico, to talk some good ole Texas Death Match Fallout and this past weekend's nearly 5-hour Pay Per View, AEW Revolution! The Bucks and FTR had one of the best matches of their respective careers ending with the return of two legends, hellbent on revenge. Toni Storm finds out what it's like to get "Rowdy" after her match with Marina Shafir. Takeshita and Moxley exceed the normal 20 minute time limit for their Continental Championship match resulting in a return only made possible by a Star Wars Bacta tank and three gallons of Red Bull. Andrade and Bandito played a weird game of "Pants off Dance off" resulting in one of the top matches of the night! The women's tag team championship match led to a surprise upset. The Toxic Spider went 2 out of three falls in a hell of a banger. Swerve attempted to teach us who the real most violent man is as long as Omega didn't obstruct... Oh, wait. New trios champions were crowned. It was insanity at it's finest, until insanity was redefined by the the AEW World Heavyweight Championship Texas Death Match (takes breath) between Hangman Adam Page and current champ, the double cross ranch's own MJF, in what could possibly be the most violence injecting (See what I did there?), bloody, dog collar wearing, light bulb flinging, rig exploding, barbed wire infusing, Texas Death Match in history! Was inflicting this amount of pain excessive? Possibly. Was it AEW-some? Absolutely!

It’s Episode 209 of AEW-some Pod, and we somehow survived the 3-hour AEW Dynamite/Collision mutant super-show so you don’t have to.

On Episode 209 we wonder if Mark Briscoe and Samoa Joe can break their losing streaks to win gold at Full Gear, Kyle Fletcher looking amazing in a suit, and Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa being just a little too cringe even by AEW standards. We also get into Hangman sending Joe’s goons to the hospital, Mercedes choking out Statlander, Okada wrestling in cruise control while Don Callis ruins everyone’s life, and whether AEW should install a “No More Fire, Please” department for Darby.
