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

Episode 242 of the AEW-some Pod is up. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Halloween Ends), Johnny Taylor (The Hard Times, Stand-Up! Records, Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) break down a Detroit Dynamite that bounced back hard, headlined by Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay standing nose to nose and slapping each other silly while building the Wembley main event better than anyone's built anything all year. Ospreay quit the Death Riders for good, Hangman Page came back and started sticking his nose everywhere, and Willow and Mercedes both cut the best promos of their lives to set up All In. Andrade kept his belt and his catchphrase, Maya World keeps collecting wins, and Jon Moxley told the morality police exactly where they can put it.

Episode 241 of the AEW-some Pod is up. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Halloween Ends), Johnny Taylor (The Hard Times, Stand-Up! Records, Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) survive a four-hour-plus Redemption from Montreal to talk about the night Will Ospreay finally stood up to the Death Riders, refused to do the unthinkable, saved Kenny Omega, and got thanked with a One-Winged Angel for his trouble. Andrade won a title and lost his pants. Willow made history (but why?). Fletcher and Bandido tried to kill each other for 26 minutes. Jericho became the Painmaker and the crowd chanted "this is murder," which is either a compliment or a cry for help. And we get into whether the main event angle actually makes a lick of sense.

Episode 240 of the AEW-some Pod is up. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Halloween Ends), Johnny Taylor (The Hard Times, Stand-Up! Records, Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) break down a Dynamite from Boston that the three of us landed on a lot harder than usual. Kenny Omega got his celebration, Ospreay got his say, and Kevin Knight got an offer he was never going to take. Andrade is walking around with something that doesn't belong to him and won't say how he got it. Jericho announced who's coming to Redemption, which is exactly what Ciampa asked for and probably shouldn't have. And Jon Moxley said two very quiet sentences that should have everybody nervous.

Episode 239 of the AEW-some Pod is up. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Halloween Ends), Johnny Taylor (The Hard Times, Stand-Up! Records, Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma’s Fantastico Disasterpiece Theater) head to the beach for Dynamite’s Beach Break, where Kenny Omega beat MJF to become AEW World Champion in a 24-minute war that ended with Omega kicking out of a belt shot at one and MJF making a face like he saw a ghost. Kyle Fletcher beat Takeshita for the International Title and got knighted by Mick Foley, back on TBS for the first time in 32 years. Willow Nightingale returned and won a trip to Revolution. Ciampa beat Jericho with a bucket of sand and then pulled out a power drill, because it was a beach show and why not. Andrade said “how you know” again. And Ospreay ran out to save Omega, which for a guy hanging around the Death Riders is either heroic or the exact opposite. Rate, review, and subscribe, or we’ll paint your dog on Mick Foley’s shoe.

Episode 238 of the AEW-some Pod is up. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Halloween Ends), Johnny Taylor (The Hard Times, Stand-Up! Records, Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) crawl out of a five-hour Forbidden Door to tell you about it. Will Ospreay won the Owen Hart Cup in a 35-minute blood feud with Swerve, then let the Death Riders hoist him on their shoulders, which is the kind of thing that gets a man an intervention. Andrade finally quit the Callis Family by ripping off his shirt to reveal a message we are legally required to bleep, costing MJF a cage match he paid full retail for. Mark Briscoe bled through a ladder helicopter and booked his title shot for Wednesday. Lio Rush emerged from a hockey bag like a horror movie. Jay White returned out of a blackout. Mercedes won the women's Owen, Omega and Zack Sabre Jr. turned in a masterpiece, and Jon Moxley nearly unmasked Bandido and then asked to shake his hand.

Episode 237 of the AEW-some Pod is up. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Halloween Ends), Johnny Taylor (The Hard Times, Stand-Up! Records, Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) break down a Dynamite from Sugar Land where MJF picked his team for the Forbidden Door cage match and stuck Andrade on it against his will, then made him hold Briscoe for a Diamond Ring shot just to twist the knife. Ospreay and Swerve had a ten-year-deep face-to-face that brought up Hangman, Wembley, and one very fragile neck, though the real headline was Ospreay announcing to a live crowd that he treated his new wife by taking her upstairs and smashing the life out of her, while Tony Schiavone slowly came to terms with his career. Mercedes Mone punched her ticket to the Owen final. Bandido suplexed Marina Shafir and handed Mox and Garcia their first loss as a team. Copeland and Christian promised to housebreak The Dogs. Omega squashed Tony Nese and got a staring contest with a silent Zack Sabre Jr. And Ciampa told Jericho to either get serious or stay home.

Records, Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) break down a Dynamite from Cincinnati where Mark Briscoe went over MJF's head, talked to the actual boss, and booked himself into a six-on-six cage match at Forbidden Door for a guaranteed title shot. Chris Jericho introduced the world to Tommy's Mommy and Goblin Face. Darby Allin returned with a skateboard and a line for the ages. Kevin Knight insulted the host city, bragged about his signing bonus, and got skateboarded for his trouble. MJF preached the gospel of money over friends and then had to literally buy five friends out of a briefcase two segments later. Plus Mox retained over Shane Taylor, Maya World pulled the upset of the tournament over Skye Blue, and Swerve and Brody beat each other half to death in a 16-minute semifinal with a Nana situation we are still trying to figure out.

Records, Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) break down a Dynamite from Richmond where MJF and Rush had themselves a no-countout main event that involved a slap, a dislocated shoulder, and an assault on a medical professional. Mark Briscoe cut a promo so good MJF had to respond from an ice bath. Kevin Knight is officially a Don Callis Family member and is now waiting in line for a World Title shot, because apparently we're handing those out by mail-order. Mercedes Mone showed up out of nowhere as the Owen Cup wildcard. Thekla declared death on an entire wrestling promotion. And Will Ospreay and Mark Davis ended the night with a 24-minute Owen Cup semi that featured roughly half the roster, one screwdriver, and a Marina Shafir cameo we are still thinking about.

Episode 234 of the AEW-some Pod is up, and Philly delivered the kind of show that gives three people plenty to argue about. MJF threw himself a party, Mark Briscoe and Rush had some thoughts on it, and now there's a title match on the books for next week that nobody saw coming the way it came. Kyle Fletcher is back from the shelf and apparently in the mood to start naming names inside his own faction. Kevin Knight continues his ongoing campaign to be the most insufferable man in professional wrestling, with a Speedball Mike Bailey assist. Jericho and Ricochet finally put a bow on what has quietly been one of the better programs of the year, and Tommaso Ciampa had a little something to say about it. Brody King and Claudio Castagnoli beat the brakes off each other in the Owen Hart Cup, Mark Davis and Jack Perry had a real one, and Copeland and Christian tried to do a nostalgia bit that went about as well as nostalgia bits tend to go in 2026. Plus Statlander and Shida closed the night with a Philly Street Fight that we are still recovering from. Diana, Johnny, and Gringo get into all of it.

Episode 233 and what a night. Diana, Johnny, and Gringo break down Double or Nothing, starting with Mick Foley going All Elite (welcome home, Mick). Then it’s Stadium Stampede, where Jericho dumped a bag of tennis balls and won the whole thing with a Lionsault. Okada vs. Takeshita went full banger, Thekla is the best in the world at what she does, and MJF took Darby’s title and his moment. Johnny does a Speedball Bailey impression nobody asked for.

Episode 232 - Darby Allin wakes up to find every single backstage worker shaved bald to mock MJF, which is one way to start the morning, and from there it's straight into Owen Tournament brackets, Ospreay tapping Ace Austin out with his first AEW submission ever, Kevin Knight retaining the TNT Title against a returning Brian Cage, Speedball calling out the world champ, Mark Briscoe coming back to declare the Word of the Day is "Reunification," Thekla hitting Hayter with a title belt for a rare AEW DQ, and Darby surviving Konosuke Takeshita to officially sign a hair vs. title contract for Double or Nothing while bleeding directly onto the paper. MJF then closes the show by spearing Darby through the table and getting run off by Kevin Knight. Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico break it all down.

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.

On Episode 226, your faithful trio of Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico celebrates the return of the “Ayatollah of Rock-N-Rolla,” Chris Jericho, who makes is long awaited return “home” to All Elite Wrestling. Kenny Omega and MJF sign the contract for their highly anticipated match up at AEW Dynasty. Speedball inserts himself into things which leads to a main event match against MJF later in the night. AEW’s answer to Kraven the Hunter, Jack Perry, Kenny Omega, and Brody King team up against Ricochet and the Gates of Agony (The Demand). Meanwhile, Darby Allin claims that until he has a religious experience, he will continue his quest for the AEW Heavyweight Championship. Unfortunately, his next hurdle is Andrade, which might actually lead to meeting his maker. The Brawling Birds and Mina Shirakawa prove their worth against Thekla and the Sisters of Sin because why not, while Cope stops Cage from hitting Renee with a chair because she’s there. Will Ospreay’s night doesn’t turn out the way he expected, nor did the match that we expected to get. Check out the pod for the Jericho praise and stay for the hot takes!

Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico unpack the first Dynamite after Revolution, covering Will Ospreay’s quick win and immediate neck-war escalation with Jon Moxley and Pac, plus Mox and Wheeler Yuta’s uneasy tag victory that proves the Death Riders are anything but stable. They dig into Darby Allin and Gabe Kidd’s completely unhinged parking-lot beatdown that turns into a Coffin Match, Swerve Strickland’s promo where he stops talking about just the AEW World Title and starts calling his shot at Kenny Omega’s EVP power, and Speedball Mike Bailey’s “I earned this” showcase victory over Mark Davis. The crew also covers Mina Shirakawa beating Marina Shafir in a no holds barred fight using Toni Storm’s own Storm Zero as the mystery attacker angle deepens, the Jurassic Express bus delivering Jack Perry to team with the Young Bucks against Okada and Best Friends, and the closing scene where Adam Copeland and Christian Cage announce they are coming for FTR at Dynasty and finish the night holding the tag belts while the Bucks watch from the floor.

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!
