Episode 96 - Do AEW Fans REALLY Defend Everything?

The Group Chat Wrestling Podcast is finally back—and within minutes, we’re discussing CM Punk’s entirely natural straight-edge transformation, arguing over whether the Beatles or the Ramones are overrated, and responding calmly and maturely to our latest reviews.We then get into the current state of AEW. Has consistently brilliant wrestling made brilliant matches feel less special? Are the stories missing the emotional stakes they had this time last year? Have the Death Riders completely lost their way, and is Jon Moxley helping Will Ospreay—or dragging him down?We also preview and predict AEW Redemption, discuss the treatment of the women’s division, fantasy-book the road to All In, answer your questions and somehow find time to insult anime, Danhausen and Giant González.Most importantly, we send all our love and support to Tanea “Rebel” Brooks.
