The Antifa-inspired anarchist stable known as Retribution continues to run roughshod over the pro wrestling social media landscape. The latest verbal assault from the group sees leader T-Bar taking on former AEW Champion Chris Jericho. When Jericho mocked the Retribution angle as nonsensical, T-Bar fired back by mocking Jericho's recent lack of coronavirus concerns as […]
AEW Dynamite once again handily defeated WWE NXT in the Wednesday Night Ratings Wars, as NXT failed to even beat the 12:45 AM airing of Late Night Dynamite on Tuesday in the 18-49 demographic and struggled to top it in viewers. However, just as AEW fans were feeling cocky, T-Bar, the leader off WWE's hot […]
Both WWE NXT and AEW Dynamite had to be changed at the last minute after stars in both companies tested positive for COVID-19. The latest wave of infections come despite both companies having testing policies to attempt to prevent the spread of coronavirus amongst staff and talent.

This week, we get two episodes of AEW Dynamite. What a way to distract us from the end of American democracy, am I right?

AEW aired a special episode of Dynamite last night following the NBA game between the Lakers and Nuggets. Dubbed Late Night Dynamite, the show featured just three matches and was intended as a sort of advertisement for today's proper episode, hoping to draw in some potential new fans from the NBA game. But in a […]
I wasn't gonna recap Late Night Dynamite because it appears to be an extra episode of AEW Dark essentially, but as it turned out, I caught the end of the Lakers/Nuggets game and decided to stick around and watch it, and if I'm watching it, I might as well get paid to watch it, know […]
As we make our weekly "walkabout" across the television landscape, it's time to check in on the set of Stephen Amell's upcoming STARZ series Heels. Last time we stopped by, Amell was signaling that the first week of work had wrapped and he was impressed with what he's seeing. On Tuesday, we learned that Amell […]
As one half of the AEW Tag Team Champions FTR, Dax Harwood has faced a lot of tough opponents during his pro wrestling career. But his most dangerous opponent may not be a wrestler at all, but rather a bat which has invaded his home. Harwood took to Twitter on Thursday to announce that there […]
In the first direct ratings skirmish in weeks, AEW Dynamite came out on top over NXT once again, beating NXT in both viewership and in the 18-49 demographic.

The Wednesday Night Wars are back on, baby! After Dynamite drew over a million viewers last week, there's no way Vince is letting NXT play on a Tuesday again. Interesting note: AEW doesn't appear to have updated their rankings this week. Who dropped the ball? AEW Dynamite Report for September 16th, 2020 Part 1 Jim […]

Gerald Brisco going to AEW confirmed? The wrestling legend made a tweet during Monday Night Raw that seemed to be a potential reference to WWE's competition. Occurring shortly after what appeared to be a botched finish to an up-to-that-point excellent match between Mickie James and Asuka, Brisco tweeted, "Is it Wednesday yet?" Is it Wednesday […]
Miro, the wrestler, formerly known as Rusev in WWE, made his surprise AEW debut on Dynamite last Wednesday. As is a tradition for a wrestler coming from WWE to another company, Miro took a few shots at his former bosses when he said, "10 years in the same house under the same glass ceiling with […]
Welcome back to another edition of BCTV's Sunday Slices, where I take a look at the past week in Bleeding Cool's television/streaming coverage to offer my thoughts on what went down, what's going down, and what's about to take off in the not-too-distant future. Once again, my thoughts/opinions are my own and do not necessarily […]
Ahead of last Saturday's All Out PPV event, AEW President Tony Khan held a media conference call that provided Bleeding Cool and the rest of the wrestling media with dozens of clickbait articles. But like the classic fable where a carefree grasshopper runs a dirt sheet and blows his entire wad of clickbait articles during […]
The unfortunate incident involving Matt Hardy at AEW All Out last Saturday illustrated one of the biggest weaknesses in the management of AEW. AEW President Tony Khan is, at heart, a lifelong wrestling fan who still marks out over wrestling stars. This isn't really new information, but it's interesting to note that Khan actually identified […]
The ratings are in for Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite, and without competition from NXT and spurred by interest in the events of All Out (not all of them good), AEW Dynamite topped a million viewers, their highest viewership since their second episode ever last year. AEW was ranked 7th for the night in the […]
The Tuesday before last, WWE NXT did an amazing rating with a fatal four-way iron man match for the NXT Championship as the main event. As a result of that, in addition to running unopposed by AEW Dynamite, NXT hit the top ten and drew its best 18-49 rating of 2020 and 850,000 viewers. But […]
