    Flair's not fair, MJF vs everyone, TNA's Impact

    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.

    Hello friends welcome back to The Bechdel Hold. This week I'm late so, as a treat, you're getting an unhinged Daniel Garcia AEW career breakdown. Plus, is Adam Copeland just not right for AEW? Will MJF ghost Adam Cole? Is NWA Powerrr as good as Riverdale? And does The Undertaker even have a favourite Cure song?

    Tony Khan's tweets, Taylor Swift questions, NXT answers

    Tony Khan's tweets, Taylor Swift questions, NXT answers

    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 rumours and a WWE blind item.

    A tale of two Adams, MJF’s TAINTed promo, the rise of NXT

    A tale of two Adams, MJF’s TAINTed promo, the rise of NXT

    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 place that got him, “sick in the first place?” And someone finally told Dave Meltzer that Matt Riddle isn’t the one.

    Thank you so much for listening, please subscribe and give me a 5 star review!
