Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out

AEW Redemption is here, and Blade Daily is joined by returning guest Kurt Jangle to preview every match, make bold predictions, and ask the question many fans are already debating:

Has AEW's expanded PPV schedule made it harder to build meaningful stories?

The card is packed with incredible talent—including Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay, Jon Moxley, Thekla, Hikaru Shida, Willow Nightingale, Kevin Knight, Christian Cage, Cope, and more—but did too many of these matches only come together in the final days before the show?

On this episode of Sit Down Shut...

The allegations are true.

Blade Daily and special guest Books and Bodyslams are shameless Kenny Omega fans, and this episode is an unapologetic celebration of Omega's AEW Men's World Championship victory over MJF. If you came looking for objective journalism... you have made a terrible mistake.

But there's plenty more to celebrate from one of AEW's strongest episodes of Dynamite in recent memory.

The crew dives into Kyle Fletcher's AEW International Championship victory, what the loss means for Konosuke Takeshita, why Andrade is connecting with audiences like never before, and...

Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams break down the fallout from AEW Forbidden Door and the biggest talking points coming out of one of the company's most eventful weeks of the year.

The conversation begins with AEW's shocking announcement of MJF vs. Kenny Omega, featuring the controversial stipulation that Omega can never challenge for the AEW World Championship again if he loses. Why is AEW presenting such a massive match on Dynamite instead of saving it for the Redemption pay-per-view in Canada? Is the internet's backlash justified, or are fans judging the story before it has...

On this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams discuss the rapidly growing momentum behind AEW Forbidden Door and whether the event is shaping up to be one of the promotion's strongest cards yet.

The duo breaks down the announced dream matches between Kenny Omega and Zack Sabre Jr., Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland, and the massive 12-Man Steel Cage Match captained by MJF and Mark Briscoe. They also discuss Maya World's emotional Owen Hart Foundation Tournament victory, the continued rise of Shane Taylor Promotions, and the polarizing opening...

Has social media changed the way wrestling fans experience stories?

This week on Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams examine the intense reaction to Kevin Knight joining the Don Callis Family and ask a larger question: Are wrestling fans judging the end of stories before they've seen the beginning? The duo explores how modern wrestling discourse is shaped by instant reactions, fantasy booking, and assumptions about where a storyline is headed before it has a chance to develop.

The conversation also turns to the return of Mercedes...

AEW Double or Nothing has come and gone, and the fallout may be even more interesting than the event itself. Blade Daily, Books and Bodyslams, and Innitbab break down Konosuke Takeshita's long-awaited victory over Kazuchika Okada, Kevin Knight's shocking heel turn, and the increasingly complex relationship between Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, and Jon Moxley as the road to All In begins to take shape.

The crew also tackles one of the most heated discussions in the AEW fanbase: the state of the Women's Division. Following a three-hour episode of Dynamite that featured minimal women's content outside...

On a special Thursday edition of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade and Books preview AEW Double or Nothing from Queens, New York — a card packed with huge questions, massive stakes, and one legendary debut.

And after Willow Nightingale was forced to vacate the TBS Championship due to injury, what does the future of AEW’s women’s division look like now?

Plus, Mick Foley is officially ALL ELITE. Blade an...

Why are pro wrestling fans so polarized? Why do some fans defend promotions at all costs while others seem determined to tear them down? And when did wrestling discourse become more about ratings, attendance, TV deals, and business metrics than the actual shows themselves?

On this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily is joined by Books and Bodyslams and Jeff from Skewered Universe Podcast for a deep dive into the politics of pro wrestling fandom.

Plus: AEW Dynamite fall...

Chris Jericho just flipped the board. On AEW Dynamite, in his hometown of Winnipeg, the most rumored “WWE return” of 2026 turned into something else entirely—Jericho walked back into AEW, declared he was “home,” and immediately walked out again… leaving fans, critics, and both locker rooms scrambling to figure out what it actually means.

Blade Daily goes solo to break down a packed week across AEW Dynamite, Ring of Honor, and the road to AEW Revolution. The big headline: Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, and David Finlay — “The Dogs” — signing with AEW, adding even more depth to an already stacked roster. That leads directly into the debate sparked by Dave Meltzer: Is AEW’s roster simply too deep for the amount of television time available? Blade digs into the argument, what it means for talent opportunities, and whether the criticism actually holds up.

Also on the show: the new Ring of Honor stud...

This week on Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams ask the question AEW Dynamite keeps daring fans to answer: how is a weekly wrestling show allowed to go this hard? The hosts break down the increasingly reckless, epic quality of Dynamite’s current run and debate whether any weekly wrestling program—past or present—has ever delivered action this frenetic, stacked, and relentlessly unhinged.

From El Clon quietly emerging as a must-watch in-ring standout to the match-altering injury to Penelope Ford, the conversation spans the entire night of chaos. The guys a...

In this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams dig into one of the most polarizing promos in recent AEW memory.

Blade Daily joins up with with Justin Rey and Tino Ybarra to talk New Japan! Wrestle Kingdom was a massive success with absolutely monumental moments. But what now? Without their standard issue main eventers like Tanahashi, Okada, and Naito to turn to, will NJPW have the discipline to (finally) fully invest in their main roster? They already did something super smart by bringing back the V4 Heavyweight title and breaking up Bullet Club. Who are the stars of the future? And how will Yota Tsuji defend two titles separately? Can he possibly be champion long with so much pressure...

Blade Daily and Antione Raphael join together to commemorate the incredible career and legacy of pro wrestling's only true Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
