About this episode

AEW Redemption delivered some bangers — but was it a forced PPV hiding behind a few great matches? This week, we break down the highs and lows of AEW Redemption: the "shit sandwich" pacing, the pointless stipulations, and why the Death Riders storyline has officially lost us. Plus, Wrestling Mark goes OFF on WWE's moral bankruptcy, the wrestling media echo chamber, and why Dave LeGreca is public enemy #1.
