All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 10/18/23 and Rampage 10/20/23 Season 5, Ep 3
Dynamite celebrates returning to it's regular slot by hosting a battle royale, a joshi queen, and featuring Kenny Omega and Jay White in two separate matches. But it might be words that hurt worst this time, as a few talking segments have potential to turn on the melodrama this week. [more inside]
AEW Collision: October 14, 2023 Season 1, Ep 18
All the main feuds on Collision get rolled into a big spicy goulash this week, also three title defenses, the return of some faces that haven't gotten much TV time in a while, and CJ and Miro flirt in the weirdest way. (This post is going up late because of NY Comic Con, so some commentary borrowed from Wrestling Observer.) [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 10/10 and Rampage 10/13: TITLE TUESDAY Season 5, Ep 2
Your eyes do not deceive you, although your TV channel guide might, as TNT did a piss-poor job of noting the schedule change due to sport. Dynamite is once again going head-to-head with NXT tonight. Since HHH decided to throw down hard and fill the Performance Center with top names, Tony Khan has gone on his own offensive (and has been playing hard on Twitter this week) and booked a free 730PM (EST) Buy-In on YouTube plus gotten clearance to run 10 extra minutes with an exciting 6-match card. [more inside]
AEW Collision: October 7, 2023 Season 1, Ep 17
Things AEW is not afraid to do repeatedly: (1) Make tag-team wrestling important. (2) Give someone signed away from WWE some good runway time to build to their first official match. (3) Hurt Darby Allin very badly. [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 10/4 and Rampage 10/6 Season 5, Ep 1
It seems like yesterday that Year 4 of Dynamite began and here we are at the beginning of Year 5. Dynamite heads into choppy waters as WWE plans counter-programming and sports schedules begin to play havoc with airdates, so Tony Khan is keeping some cards closer than usual. [more inside]
Special Event: All Elite Wrestling presents WrestleDream (2023)
Following the extremely successful All In at Wembley Stadium, AEW President Tony Khan announced WrestleDream, to be held on the anniversary of the death of Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki, at Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena. Tonight the card is STACKED with title defenses, hometown heroes, and a dream-match main event several years in the making. [more inside]

The AEW roster settles into Seattle to get the PNW ready for WrestleDream, and that means: (1) an all-star 8-man tag match, (2) Jericho and Omega teaming up, and (3) several guest spots for local DEFY Wrestling talent. [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 9/27 and Rampage 9/29 Season 4, Ep 52
I decided a while ago to partition Dynamite's "seasons" to begin the first week of October (since that's the week Dynamite first premiered), and that means tonight is the season finale and this Sunday's WrestleDream is like the bonus content. This week, AEW (and their co-brand partner NJPW) will do their best to whet your appetite for the PPV. [more inside]

AEW Collision: September 9, 2023 Season 1, Ep 13
If tonight's episode of Collision seems a bit heavy on the promos, it's because Tony has AEW Grand Slam in two weeks and is down one Zaslav-approved headliner. Not to worry, he's going to fill the gap with tournament semi-finals, title defenses and a quartet of luchadors! [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 9/6 and Rampage 9/8 Season 4, Ep 49

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: AEW All Out (2023) Season 4, Ep 10000
Well folks, I said that this would be a big week for pro wrestling, and I was even more right than I realized. Tonight AEW will try to end the week on a high note in front of an arena full of Chicagoans who are primed to be very vocal. [more inside]
AEW Collision: September 2, 2023 Season 1, Ep 12
And so it has come to pass: Sightly more than two years after CM Punk became All Elite, Tony Khan announced his immediate termination, with cause, for starting a backstage fight with Jack Perry at ALL IN last week. Inexcusably, inarguably, in full view of security cameras, other talent, and Papa Tony himself. Expect crowd reactions like no other in Chicago for Collision tonight and All Out tomorrow! [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 8/30 and Rampage 9/1 Season 4, Ep 48
London's ALL IN broke records, and Tony Khan has already announced that they'll return to Wembley in almost exactly a year and probably break some more. But the promotion has another PPV special this weekend and so it's time to draw eyeballs to the product. [more inside]
Special Event: All Elite Wrestling presents ALL IN (2023)
Five years ago, Cody Rhodes made a bet with Dave Meltzer that an indie wrestling show could sell 10,000 tickets, and then he and the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega changed the business. This year, All Elite Wrestling shipped 81,000 tickets for a single night at Wembley Stadium, breaking the paid attendance world record for a pro-wrestling event to stage "The Biggest Event in Wrestling History". [more inside]
AEW Collision: August 26, 2023: Fyter Fest 2023 Season 1, Ep 11
Go-Home Show Week concludes, as AEW is one sleep away from "The Biggest Event of Wrestling History". We've already seen half of London's competitors on this week's Dynamite, so here comes Collision to introduce you to the other half (and a few people who, alas, won't be there.) [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 8/23 and Rampage 8/25: Fyter Fest 2023 Season 4, Ep 47
The final Dynamite before All In is Fyter Fest (because AEW will never forgive Ja Rule)! It couldn't be a go-home show without last minute card changes and possible title surprises, could it? [more inside]

Papa Tony is keeping cards close to his chest tonight, as only three matches are confirmed pre-show while the other segments are mostly "A Wrestler you like will... do something!" Let's all shiver with anticipation! (As a reminder, tonight's collision, like Dynamite and Rampage before it, are soliciting donations to the Maui Food Bank.) [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 8/16 and Rampage 8/18: Fight for the Fallen 2023 Season 4, Ep 46
AEW boss Tony Khan announced last week that this week’s shows would be under the Fight for the Fallen banner, with proceeds from Dynamite/Rampage and Collision going to the Maui Food Bank to provide assistance to victims of Maui’s devastating wildfires. Orange Cassidy defends, The Bunny attacks, and Nick Wayne will probably be severely beaten (again). [more inside]
AEW Collision: August 12 Season 1, Ep 9
If you like tag team matches, you're going to like this episode. If you looooove tag matches, you're going to love this episode. Also, if your "Miro Alert" watch went off, this episode is the reason. (Late post b/c I was out yesterday, match results below the cut.) [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 8/9 and Rampage 8/11 Season 4, Ep 45
No, you have not accidentally stumbled into a time portal, nor have you fallen asleep watching your wrestling VHS tapes -- the Hardys are in tag-team competition again, some Ring of Honor guys are fighting luchadors in a parking lot, and Rob Van Dam is fighting for an ECW title!

AEW Collision: August 5 Season 1, Ep 8

AEW Collision: July 22 Season 1, Ep 6
Yours truly was exhausted yesterday after being live for Ring Of Honor: Death Before Dishonor (hey kids! You can spot me when Chuckie T throws Fenix into the crowd!) and so couldn't make this post pre-Collision, so let me excerpt our recaps from The Wrestling Observer! [more inside]

[more inside]

AEW Collision: June 17: PREMIERE Season 1, Ep 1
You know what this is. After going nearly a year without, Tony Khan is going to find out if CM Punk is still the same draw he was the last time he made his appearance at Chicago's United Center. Papa Tony has assembled a roster of talent who (hopefully) won't have an issue working with him, let's find out how good a show they can put on! [more inside]

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: AEW Double Or Nothing 2023 Season 4, Ep 10000
In 2019, Double Or Nothing marked the beginning of AEW, establishing it as the first wrestling promotion to challenge the McMahon supremacy since the fall of WCW.

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 5/24 and Rampage 5/26 Season 4, Ep 34
Sometimes I forget that the WWE method of selling a PPV (that is, to do absolutely nothing of note on the go-home show) is not the method TK uses: Double Or Nothing will be happening in four days, so sure, let's have three championships defended on the go-home show! Also, Collision's first location (with heavy implications for a certain wrestler's return)! [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 5/17 and Rampage 5/19 Season 4, Ep 33

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 5/10 and Rampage 5/12 -- Omega/Moxley IV Season 4, Ep 32
"Tony Khan has been known to dip into exaggeration from time to time when hyping AEW. That’s to be expected from a promoter. His latest bold claim is that Dynamite has a PPV lineup, and I actually agree with him this time. The upcoming episode of Dynamite on May 10 is stacked." -- SB Nation [more inside]
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 5/3 and Rampage 5/5 Season 4, Ep 31
It's a great night for anyone who loves multiple-person matches, because tonight Dynamite has a tag match, an 8-man match, and a... 18-man match? [more inside]
