Episode 251 of the AEW-some Pod is up, and we're back to regular programming, croissants and all. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs), Johnny Taylor (Stand-Up! Records, Tubi, and Largo this Sunday), and Gringo Fantastico (Troma's Disasterpiece Theater) head to Paris for a Tuesday Dynamite that broke all of our brains about what day it was. Will Ospreay finally beat Kazuchika Okada after losing to him 11 out of 13 times, and the Paris crowd sang through the whole thing. Okada gave the smuggest face in wrestling and demanded the French build him a monument. Jack Perry spat on Samoa Joe and got exactly what he deserved, Darby bled all over France to keep his belt, and Thekla speared Mercedes so hard Diana is now personally guaranteeing a title change at WrestleDream. Gringo spends a good chunk of the episode defending himself against accusations that he hates small people, and then saves the day by actually reading the Clockwork Carnage rules out loud, which none of us had done. Rate, review, and subscribe. Oui oui.

Episode 250 of the AEW-some Pod is a heavy one. Johnny Taylor and Gringo Fantastico sit down, no Diana this week, to talk about the AEW Dynamite tribute to Ben "Pac" Satterley, who passed away in Chicago the day after All Out at just 40 years old. This isn't a traditional episode. No awards, no ratings, no ghost. Just two lifelong fans trying to keep it together while they talk about one of the most beautiful memorial shows wrestling has ever done. We get into the haunting Moxley promo filmed before anyone knew, Orange Cassidy weeping in the corner before their match, the Mox and Danielson embrace, Bryan coming out of retirement for one more night, and tribute after tribute from Hangman, Darby, Ospreay, Ricochet, Swerve, and Roddy Strong. We talk about what Pac meant to us, the bar he set for everyone grinding in the indies, the Death Triangle days, the Neville and Sami Zayn classics, and Tony Khan honoring Pac's full contract and flying the whole roster to the memorial. Pac was your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler. Rest easy, Ben. 'Til we meet again.

Episode 249 of the AEW-some Pod is up, and Johnny's back from internet exile just in time to recap All Out from Chicago. Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs), Johnny Taylor (Stand-Up! Records, Tubi, and Largo on October 11th), and Gringo Fantastico get into a night that was overshadowed by a scary spot where Steven Borden went down hard withan injury. Good news: he's okay, and the AEW medical staff hopped to it fast. On the fun side, Okada flipped off Tommaso Ciampa's little girl and she double-bird'd him right back, the Brawling Birds went from a tea party to a genuinely great street fight, and Swerve and Hangman turned a trios match into an instant classic that Johnny may or may not have oversold to Diana before she'd watched it. Then Will Ospreay burned the Death Riders flag, bit clean through Moxley's forearm, and hit a very much not-hidden blade to keep the belt, while Gringo dropped a smoking hot take about wanting Mox to win. Rate, review, and subscribe, and spare a card for Steve Borden.
