Hey! (EW), @rjcity.bsky.social's #AEW interview show and some of the funniest content in the wrestling space, has its three year anniversary in a few weeks. In celebration, I made a list of ten episodes that I feel encapsulate the show's variety and sense of humor. Let me know if I missed your fav!

24 hours later and I might still be thinking about that Megan Bayne vs. Kris Statlander match. As short as it was, it was a fantastic proof of concept for those two wrestling like 15 times. Immediate in-ring chemistry #AEW

After a few missteps early in the year, Dynamite continued its stellar build towards Revolution on Wednesday night. @hangmanpage.bsky.social and MJF featured in one of my all time favorite #AEW in-ring promo segments.

#AEW has really turned it up the last 3 weeks or so after a bit of a below-average start to the year. I feel invested in the show at a level I haven't in quite some time. Time allocated to the best storylines, hot crowds, great matches. A promising sign for the rest of 2025

Wrote about how the ROH Pure Championship run of @theleemoriarty.bsky.social is one of my favorite in wrestling right now. Check it out if you like nerding out about rope breaks and in-ring storytelling like I do lol #AEW #ROH

Nice to see someone like Josh Alexander get his first major deal with #AEW after years of hard work. He would’ve been great wherever he ended up, and obviously there are a ton of fun matches to look forward to for him there.

At New Beginning, the once cloudy future of #NJPW has finally become crystal clear.

Dynamite had its best episode of 2025 so far on Wednesday. My review: scorpiondeathtalk.substack.com/p/aew-dynami... #aew

I didn't think #TJPW could top my favorite show of last year, Grand Princess 2024, but I think they might prove me wrong. The company is setting up another show of the year candidate with next month's GP25. Miu/Willow, Arisu Endo/Suzume, the tag titles match and Mizuki/Rika are all must watch..

An interpromotional dream match! Can't wait for @willowwrestles.bsky.social vs. Miu Watanabe at TJPW's Grand Princess on March 16th. TJPW continues to put together very strong cards for their big shows.

My favorite feud in @allelitewrestling.com goes back to where it all began with another All About Eve inspired twist. Wrote about how fun the latest chapter of Mariah May and Toni Storm has been: scorpiondeathtalk.substack.com/p/all-about-...

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite was decent, but frustrating and felt like two separate shows. More: scorpiondeathtalk.substack.com/p/aew-dynami...

Wrote a guide on where to watch almost every major wrestling promotion (if you live in the US). Hope it’s helpful! scorpiondeathtalk.substack.com/p/how-to-wat...

Collision and Dynamite are like night and day this week. The former feels like a fun, focused wrestling show and the latter felt overwrought and a bit depressing. They gotta find a better balance here. #AEW

I'm many weeks late, but I wanted to write about 2024, one of my favorite years in wrestling since I started watching: scorpiondeathtalk.substack.com/p/scorpion-d...

I wrote a bit about last night’s Dynamite and why AEW has felt a bit at odds with itself in late 2024/early 2025 so far: scorpiondeathtalk.substack.com/p/all-elite-...

Komander is making a late push for most improved wrestler of the year. He's gotten a lot better at in-ring psychology and knowing when to implement his high-flying moves. They gotta get him into a program where he can get some wins after the C2 ends.

Bandido is such a unique wrestler and character and I'm so glad to see him hyped up on the show prior to his return. Surprise debuts are fun, but so is making someone a big deal by hyping them up

I don’t watch much WWE but Men’s War Games was one of the most fun matches I’ve seen all year. The concept of wrestling as a soap opera distilled into 40min. Great flow with inventive spots. “Who is coming out of the cage” having so much drama behind it was very smart. In-ring storytelling rocks
