The Many Opponents of Darby Allin

AEW-some Pod Episode 226. Darby Allin is your AEW World Champion and apparently he's defending that thing every single week until his body physically stops working. This week's victim: Tommaso Ciampa, who bled all over the place and still couldn't get it done. Plus MJF cries about the Seattle Screwjob, Kevin Knight shuts him up, Mark Davis puts Ospreay down with a piledriver on the apron, Samoa Joe is back and immediately terrifying, Jericho's mystery partners turn out to be Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, and MVP (just business), and Brody King challenges Darby for next week before the confetti even hits the floor. Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico break it all down.

Episode 227 brings your favorite podcast pals (Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico) back together to chat about this week's Dynasty go-home AEW Dynamite taking place from Roger's Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! Will Ospreay brings back-up from the East to deal with his Deathrider problem, leading to a monster impromptu 8-man tag main event! We get an update on Kyle Fletcher's injury leading to a "Fletcher Strong" movement from the Callis Family. Andrade, Mark Davis, and Takeshita take on the even more emo than normal Darby Allin, Jack Perry, and Bandido in more than physical match up. Willow defends her TNT Championship against a returning Queen Aminata to have one hell of a sleeper, banger match. Gabe Kidd continues to be the dark abyss of charisma, meanwhile FTR gets the upperhand on Cope and Cage. Jericho gives a very real, emotional speech, brings back a classic to annoy Ricochet, and challenges him to a match at this weekend's PPV. Finally, Omega makes us believe that he will take the championship from MJF this weekend! It was a very powerful go-home show for AEW that may lead to one of, if not, the best PPV's of the year!

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!

It's episode 222 of the AEW-Some Pod, and your favorite trio of a comedian and two horror hosts, Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico, is here to break down the action inside of the Mission Ballroom in the "mile high city" of Denver, Colorado! Moxley goes face to face with Hologram's better side, El Clon. Swerve Strictland lets us all know his frustrations with AEW and one fan's "momma!" Gabe Kidd continues to take up air time. Kevin Knight and Mansoor have a high flying match up, while Brody King and Mark Davis have a clubbing session. The AEW Women's tag team title ends with concern, while unsurprisingly, MJF attempts to swerve the upcoming World Heavyweight championship match with a fake coin to manipulate before Hangman can stipulate. (Rhyming is fun!) The main event could have been a show all of it's own as the Rascalz, the Bucks, and Jack Perry went above and beyond as they took on the The Demand's Ricochet and the Gates of Agony along with FTR in Mile High Madness where anything goes and it most certainly does!

Then they go long on the main event as Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland finally collide: Snap Dragons on the apron, avalanche Dragon suplexes, double Swerve Stomps, and a clean Swerve win followed by one of the nastiest post-match beatdowns they’ve done on TV as Swerve hangs Omega with a chain in front of a horrified Sacramento crowd.

On Episode 220 of The AEW-some Pod, Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico hit Grand Slam Australia: Moxley and Takeshita beating each other to a 20-minute draw before Mox cheap-shoves him and eats a Raging Fire receipt, Babes of Wrath hanging onto the tag belts while Lena Kross forms a new monster trio, Toni Storm and Orange Cassidy finally shaving Wheeler Yuta bald, and Kyle Fletcher surviving a sick ladder match with Mark Briscoe to keep the TNT Title. They close with MJF vs. Brody King, where Brody throws everything at Max, hits the Eliminator finish that killed him in Vegas, and still watches the champ chew up his knee and win with a Heat Seeker as “F--- ICE” chants echo through Qudos Bank Arena.
