Hello friends welcome back to The Bechdel Hold. This week Ric Flair made his AEW debut because Tony Khan thinks enough time has gone by since that Dark Side of the Ring episode. There's a lot to unpack with Flair but I try to do my best to put forward my full thoughts and explain why it's so disappointing and why I don't believe he should be in AEW. Plus some Dynamite thoughts as everyone seems to be after MJF. Impact going back to its TNA name, new CM Punk quotes and more. Please subscribe...

Hello friends welcome back to The Bechdel Hold. This week the audio is tons better! On the pod I talk about NXT defeating AEW on Tuesday night and Tony Khan's unhinged tweets. We then talk how AEW has, or, hasn't handled criticisms of the MJF Dynamite segment. Over in WWE land, Triple H is in charge but Fastlane was a little slow. What got more attention was the Fastlane press conference thanks to a ridiculous Taylor Swift question but isn't wrestling just so silly? I also cover CM Punk...

Hello friends welcome back to The Bechdel Hold. This week we have a messy Dynamite to discuss with an all-time bad vignette featuring Adam Cole and MJF tainting his world title run. On the bright side, TAFKA Edge aka Adam Copeland seems like a promising addition to AEW. Meanwhile, over on NXT they’re tearing it up with some main roster pals and next week everyone’s invited. Plus, will younger AEW talent follow Jade Cargill to WWE? Why did Jade really leave AEW? Is CM Punk returning to the...

Hello friends welcome back to The Bechdel Hold. It's been a tough week and there's some really s**t people to talk about. The first half of this episode I sound like I'm on a downer cause I am and I appreciate not everyone wants to hear that. I discuss why we should take notice of the Russell Brand story in the wrestling world, then more Vince talk, then Matt Riddle finally losing his job. I also discuss the other WWE releases and then I have a great time talking AEW Grand Slam. If you make...

Welcome back to The Bechdel Hold! Phil's gone from wrestling so things were quiet this week. So let's take this time to think a little about Vince McMahon who was at the NYSE this week as the WWE/UFC merger was finalised. Then I talk about the news that Jade Cargill could be done with AEW and why that's a really big deal. Plus MIKE Santana beefing with Ortiz, a fine Dynamite, Wrestle Dream, and nothing about Netflix's Wrestlers. Timestamps: 00:00 INTRO 06:19 VINCE MCMAHON/TKO 22:18 ALL IN...
