Dynamite Review 04/06/2022 - Some-More of Joe

Wednesday damn night Wrestling damn Brain
The fellas over at Wrestling Brain are ready to go for another rip roarin' episode of Dynamite and Double Dudes, with the Sword & Shield bringing in Producer Mat (gotta get this guy a nickname!) to keep the show trucking and opening Zubes up to, quite frankly, sounding like a damn genius today.
On the card tonight, FTR delivers another tag classic in a ROH/AAA defence against the Bucks in the main event. Samoa Joe makes his official debut on AEW TV, Christian takes on Adam Cole, Captain Shawn Dean continues working his way through The Pinnacle against SpearsCam, Hikaru Shida and Julia Hart have a tournament qualifier, and the Butcher & Blade have a bit of a slop-up against the Hardys in a tables match.
We also hear from Eddie Kingston (always great), Jade Cargill (getting greater every time we see her), some fire from Best Friends, and the Hanger hogs up in challenging Cole to a Texas Deathmatch.
Great show, great times, if this is the last time we see Zubes for a while, hell, he killed it.

Dynamite Review 03/30/2022 - Take a Peek!

Wednesday and Wrestling Brain both start with a W which is something I just invented noticing.
AEW Dynamite is upon us again and the Sword & Shield of Wrestling Brain Josh & Zubes are here with another 7/7 review of that son of a b.

We got a lot of matches this week, with matchups like CM Punk vs Max Caster, Jon Moxley vs Jay Lethal, Bryan Danielson vs Wheeler Yuta, FTR vs Gunn Club, as well as Andrade El Idolo vs Darby Allin in the main event.
There was also a pair of debuts in the women's division, with Toni Storm debuting as a surprise entrant for the Owen Hart Foundation tournament against The Bunny, and Marina Shafir getting an intro package ahead of a match against Jade Cargill.
Additionally, CM Punk hinted further at the title picture, The Jericho Appreciation Society outnumbered Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz, FTR put their toes right up to the line of a face turn, Cole & reDRagon flaunted the belts they stole, and Thunder Rosa declared herself the foundation of women's wrestling.
LOTS goin' on over here, as you can imagine.

If they're going to play our song, we're going to dance!
AEW Dynamite rolls out the Josh and Zubes bait this week, laying up a show on a pillow for the Sword & Shield to devour and enjoy for your viewing pleasure.
The show starts with CM Punk returning to face Dax Harwood, a match made in Wrestling Brain heaven. The Hardys, Sting, and Darby Allin follow the action with a spot fest including Jeff jumping off a building, the Blackpool Combat Club made up of Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley and William Regal officially get themselves a name and another win by trouncing the Varsity Blondes.
Elsewhere, MJF sends a message to Wardlow and CM Punk, Adam Cole tangles with Jay Lethal, Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti call out American Top Team, Leyla Hirsch takes on Red Velvet, and the Jericho Appreciation Society caps off the show against the Dark Order.
Some tech issues at parts during this one, but we love y'all for being around for this!

St. Patrick’s Day Slam Review 03/16/2022 - Daddy Magic

YOU WANT A TASTE?
Another Wednesday, another wonderful time with the Brainiacs to be had. The sword and shield are here to walk you through a fantastic top-to-bottom episode of AEW Dynamite, with quality segments, a main event cage match, and some good old fashioned tag team wrestling.
The show kicks off with a trios match between reDRagon with Adam Cole against Jungle Express and Hangman Page. Mox and Danielson continue to evolve their tag team and elevate Wheeler Yuta thanks to some S-tier commentary from Regal. The Jericho Appreciation Society introduces us to DADDY MAGIC and the rest of the group of Sports Entertainers. Scorpio Sky defends the TNT Championship against Wardlow. We get Hardys vs Partys as the Hardy Boys have their first tag team match in AEW. And Thunder Rosa gets her big moment with a massive entrance and a main event in the steel against against Britt.
We also got a look at a serioused up Kris Statlander, words from Jade Cargilla, Serena Deeb, Ricky Starks, and Keith Lee. No CM Punk for another week but still an insanely strong show. We're in good hands right now.

Dynamite Review 03/09/2022 - There’s SOME Crying In Wrestling

There's nothing like snapping in to a crisp, cool episode of Wrestling Brain on a Wednesday Night.
Josh, Zubes, and the Brainiacs are all here for another week to spread some joy about the latest episode of AEW Dynamite. This week several wrestlers on the show weren't afraid to let us know they've shed a few tears along with the blood and sweat, and it's got our hosts feeling positive about the product.
The show starts with a promo between Eddie Kingston and Chris Jericho, and after continuing to feed us the Eddie content we love, a new group was formed with more generous helpings of Zubes Bait in the recipe. Hangman Page makes a title defence against Dante Martin. The new team of Mox, Danielson, and William Regal debut as a unit, which culminates in Regal taking some mic time to open up
about himself, his heart, and instantly rationalize the grouping in a master stroke of Regal goodness.
There was more major action as Matt Hardy got kicked out of his own stable. Fear not, Sting, Darby Allin, and JEFF HARDY make the save. We take some time to reflect on what this could mean for the Hardyz and the division, while reveling in the undeniable overness of Jeff Hardy.
Elsewhere in business being taken care of, PAC takes Wheeler Yuta for the woodshed for a bit, which is always fun to watch. FTR sent Tully Blanchard packing, while Swerve, Keith Lee, and Wardlow all get a little mic time,
In the other title pictures: The champs Jurassic Express defend against The Acclaimed, Thunder Rosa earns a cage match against the champ with a win over Leyla Hirsch, and Sammy Guevara explodes himself through a table before dropping the TNT title to Scorpio Sky.
We took a long road to get here, but us wrestling Brainiacs? We're going to be alright.

AEW Revolution Review 03/06/2022 - Dog Collar Match Made In Heaven

We, the chosen folks who are given the gift of understanding and loving professional wrestling. Lucky us.
AEW delivered a knockout unanimous 7 scoring PPV on Sunday night, etching Revolution 2022 into the history books of The Business with an extravaganza that includes the transcendence from pure athleticism into an artform. The Sword & Shield are here to break it down for you and you guide you, providing perspective and elation for a beautiful night to live The Biz.
King of our hearts Eddie Kingston opened the show with the best Chris Jericho match in years, capturing our hearts and minds in a classic slugfest that deserves its own recognition in a night filled with highlights. As a follow up, the reDragon, The Young Bucks, and Jurassic Express kept the pedal to the floor with a corker triple-threat tag team title match, the six-way ladder match crowned a new Face of the Revolution, and Jade Cargill continued to showcase her progress against Tay Conti.
Then - and this deserves its own paragraph - CM Punk and MJF deliver the latest chapter of their epic rivalry, tying together every strand of their individual and shared histories for a history book worthy tome to properly executed professional wrestling with a dog collar match.
Afterwards, Thunder Rosa tried to pry the title off of Britt Baker, Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley had a bloody elbow-filled battle that brought out a debuting and super-over William Regal, a stellar spot-fest trios tag got the crowd back to their feet, and our champion Adam Hangman Page vanquished the dastardly Adam Cole to close out the evening.
We went through a lot to get here, folks. It's nice to just enjoy the scenery sometimes and let it take your breath away.

Dynamite Review 03/02/2022 - Brain of Honor

TK, if you're looking to buy another video library, I've got 100 hours of the best goddamn twitch stream you can imagine available for purchase. Just kidding we would never abandon The Brainiacs (Tony if you can see this I'm winking, please call)
Wrestling Brain is back for another Wednesday and this is a special MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT edition of AEW Dynamite headed into Revolution.
On the show this week, TK starts things off by announcing he's purchased ROH, we get a re-do of the first ever ROH main event with Danielson vs Daniels, there's a lengthy tag team battle royal, MJF and CM Punk hug and then further their push to the PPV, Britt Baker and Hayter tag against Rosa and Mercedes, Wardlow takes another big step towards babyface action with a win and finally saying something to MJF, and in the main, the Cowboy teams with the Dark Order to take on Cole and reDragon.
There's also a few promos in this show like Chris Jericho continuing to use GFY, which I think is good, Keith Lee getting interrupted again but some Taz Teammates, Statlander and Hirsch continuing their adoption-based storyline, Jade Cargill giving karate its rightful disdain, and our buddy Buddy in the House of Black.
If you're listening here you missed a double barrel edition of Merch Match, starting out the All Month Long Merch Matchness tournament.
