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@gmail.com buy stuff from MJ: ko-fi.com/wrassletrash/shop Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
