Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out!

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 studio presentation and what worked (and didn’t), the Don Callis Family finally scoring a major win as a unit, and the standout Bandido and Andrade El Idolo promo on AEW Dynamite, where two Mexican stars cut their own English-language promo without a manager speaking for them. Blade also discusses the Brawling Birds dominating The IInspiration in their AEW debut, the strange crowd reaction to Kevin Knight in El Paso, why MJF might be doing some of the best character work of his career, and everything we currently know about AEW Revolution.Give us a 5-star review wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a comment!

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 also dive into Hangman Page locking in a brutal Texas Death Match against MJF at AEW Revolution, the newly announced Swerve Strickland vs. Brody King and Andrade El Idolo vs. Bandido matchups, and the absolutely bonkers 10-man tag “Mile High Madness” main event that somehow capped it all.And because modern wrestling never exists in a vacuum, the episode also tackles the looming business-side chaos: will Paramount Global really acquire Warner Bros. Discovery? In-ring insanity, corporate uncertainty, and a weekly show that feels like it’s daring history to keep up—this episode breaks down why AEW Dynamite feels different right now, and why fans can’t look away.Give us a 5-star review wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a comment!

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. Hangman Page drew a hard, almost mythic line when he told MJF that if he doesn’t beat him at AEW Revolution, he’ll never challenge for the AEW Men's World Championship again—“for as long as I live.” Blade and Books break down why the internet is split on the moment, what it says about Hangman’s character arc, and whether wrestling fans still have patience for high-stakes, long-term storytelling in the age of instant reaction.The conversation then turns dark and violent as they unpack Swerve Strickland’s shocking victory over Kenny Omega and the brutal heel turn that followed—an escalation that may permanently reshape AEW’s main-event landscape. From there, they preview the announced matches for AEW Revolution, speculate on possible surprises, and welcome a special appearance from Joshi G! It’s a wide-ranging, opinionated episode about consequences, cruelty, and a pay-per-view that feels ready to explode.Give us a 5-star review wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a comment!

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? Plus we review an outstanding AEW Dynamite!Follow Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out!Instagram: https://instagram.com/sitdownshutupmarkoutBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/sdsumopod.bsky.socialThreads: https://threads.net/@sitdownshutupmarkoutFollow Sickos ClubInstagram: https://instagram.com/sickos.clubBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/sickosclub.bsky.socialThreads: https://threads.net/@sickos.club
