Two wrestling girlies setting the world to rights. Every Saturday, Sarah and MJ chew over the week in wrestling - we mostly watch AEW and ROH, but we also like some GCW, Impact, NJPW and Hoodslam, plus whatever indie wrestling shows are within arm's reach! We have a lot of feelings about this stuff. Expect giggling and strong opinions. Follow us on X/Bluesky at: @wafflybollox, @awfullywaffly and @wrassletrash

Episode 52 - Save our silly little guys

May 18 2024 110 mins

after an unscheduled break last week, we're back!!!!! so now we've got two weeks' worth of wrestling to fit in, including what the gremlin Elite have been up to lately, why we want Cope and Mercedes to embrace the dark side, and, you guessed it, we're fantasy booking Hangman again. also, the ghost of Chuck Taylor haunts the narrative. minor silliness ensues. links

Episode 51 - The big sad

May 04 2024 99 mins

Orange Cassidy got on the microphone and said “I hate this”, and you know what, we felt that. Chuck Taylor is never going to wrestle again and so we will never be happy again. luckily we saved a couple of our games from last week so we had something to cheer us up at the end, but listener beware: this one gets real weepy in the middle. links and things: @wafflybollox on X, Ins

Episode 50 - A friendly kickabout in the park

Apr 28 2024 81 mins

we’re sad girlies this week. Trent Beretta gave his Best Friend Chuck Taylor an ultimatum and then they made each other bleed about it in the parking lot at Daily’s Place. we are soft of heart and this was a lot to handle. (but there were light tubes, which is always nice!) also this episode, we are big fans of piledriving billionaires, we’ve solved the Hangman problem, and w

Episode 49 - Make eye contact, don’t show your teeth

Apr 24 2024 148 mins

we’ve just had a pay-per-view, and you know what that means… HEART RATINGS™. your girlies run down the AEW Dynasty card, from Zero Hour to the main event, dishing out infinite heart emojis as they go. the Bucks on ladders? new TBS champ Willow Nightingale? Adam Cole’s evilest face? and new world champion Swerve Strickland? SO MANY HEARTS. we also tried to make Chuck Taylor

Episode 48 - Sexy sleepover deathmatches

Apr 20 2024 92 mins

you know when we said last week we'd got all sensible? yeah, no, not so much this week. topics covered include: lipstick warfare, hair bobble violence, breaking the fourth wall with Matthew Jackson, and a variation on the trolley problem where we mostly concluded that we should never be put in charge of anything important. much to think about. much to giggle at. links and thin

Episode 47 - Roll the tape

Apr 13 2024 103 mins

well, the Bucks said they were gonna show backstage footage from All In, and boy did they. the internet fully exploded as security camera footage of CM Punk’s violent altercation with Jack Perry behind the scenes of AEW’s biggest show ever was aired as part of this week’s episode of Dynamite. and if we’d recorded this episode on, say, Thursday, there might have been most u

Episode 46 - Work me, baby

Apr 07 2024 141 mins

oof, what a manic weekend! not that we watched, you know, that thing. instead, we’ve been gorging ourselves on indie wrestling courtesy of the GCW Collective, and then watching Supercard of Honor and having ALL THE EMOTIONS. every single one. did you know that we love Ring of Honor? because we do. we also believe in workers’ rights, keeping receipts, and the sacred love betwe

Episode 45 - Octopus hold (affectionate)

Apr 05 2024 72 mins

our hearts are broken this week, and yes we know never to trust a wrestler, but there are definitely some wrestlers we thought would never hurt us, and yet… here we are. broken. bruised. (still very ready to give Chuck Taylor a big hug.) this week’s Dynamite was an emotional one, but at least we had Toni Storm to pick us up. also, somehow we still managed to talk about Hangman

Episode 44 - Cowboy chips

Mar 30 2024 80 mins

if Hangman was a flavour of crisps, what flavour would he be? honestly, we can’t promise you any kind of answer to that question. this week, we’re just kind of all over the shop, but we did really love the two tag tournament matches on Dynamite this week, because we love our EVPs and we love our boys, and someone’s gonna win the big one so why not them? this is a silly one. w

Episode 43 - Attracting the casuals

Mar 23 2024 108 mins

good news: we’ve solved one of wrestling’s great mysteries! how do you attract casual fans? show them Orange Cassidy and a hardcore match. you’re welcome! this week Dynamite and Rampage were live back to back on Wednesday like a giant wrestling club sandwich, and that did throw us off our game a bit. how are we meant to know what day of the week it is if our shows move around
