It's episode 252, WrestleDream 2026 is in the books, and Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico are back to break down a night of great wrestling, questionable decisions, and a main event that required an abacus, a flowchart, and a degree in theoretical mathematics. The crew celebrates Nick Wayne's continued rise while explaining why the internet wrestling community's obsession with the dreaded "Jericho Vortex" is about as intelligent as the average wrestling Twitter argument. Mercedes Moné apparently mistakes the post-show media scrum for a chance to bury Thekla, Andrade and Tommaso Ciampa put on an absolute clinic (with an unexpected assist from a pair of pants), and Ilja Dragunov arrives in AEW, bringing his trademark brand of brutally stiff, chest-caving violence to a locker room that might want to invest in some extra ice packs. Plus, Jon Moxley and Mark Davis beat the hell out of each other, the trios titles change hands, and Clockwork Carnage somehow makes filing your taxes look like a relaxing afternoon. Was WrestleDream another home run for AEW, or have we reached the point where the next pay-per-view starts before we've finished watching the last one?

Episode 251 of the AEW-some Pod is up, and we're back to regular programming, croissants and all. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs), Johnny Taylor (Stand-Up! Records, Tubi, and Largo this Sunday), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) head to Paris for a Tuesday Dynamite that broke all of our brains about what day it was. Will Ospreay finally beat Kazuchika Okada after losing to him 11 out of 13 times, and the Paris crowd sang through the whole thing. Okada gave the smuggest face in wrestling and demanded the French build him a monument. Jack Perry spat on Samoa Joe and got exactly what he deserved, Darby bled all over France to keep his belt, and Thekla speared Mercedes so hard Diana is now personally guaranteeing a title change at WrestleDream. Gringo spends a good chunk of the episode defending himself against accusations that he hates small people, and then saves the day by actually reading the Clockwork Carnage rules out loud, which none of us had done. Rate, review, and subscribe. Oui oui.

Episode 250 of the AEW-some Pod is a heavy one. Johnny Taylor and Gringo Fantastico sit down, no Diana this week, to talk about the AEW Dynamite tribute to Ben "Pac" Satterley, who passed away in Chicago the day after All Out at just 40 years old. This isn't a traditional episode. No awards, no ratings, no ghost. Just two lifelong fans trying to keep it together while they talk about one of the most beautiful memorial shows wrestling has ever done. We get into the haunting Moxley promo filmed before anyone knew, Orange Cassidy weeping in the corner before their match, the Mox and Danielson embrace, Bryan coming out of retirement for one more night, and tribute after tribute from Hangman, Darby, Ospreay, Ricochet, Swerve, and Roddy Strong. We talk about what Pac meant to us, the bar he set for everyone grinding in the indies, the Death Triangle days, the Neville and Sami Zayn classics, and Tony Khan honoring Pac's full contract and flying the whole roster to the memorial. Pac was your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler. Rest easy, Ben. 'Til we meet again.
