How much early insane AEW lore do the newer fans know? Shanna trying to shoot on Leyla Hirsch (presumably because Hirsch is a Jewish lesbian and Shanna is a shoot Nazi) and failing miserably? Darius Lockhart's USB thumb drive? BALD ASSHOLES? The invoice? The Sadie Gibbs-Bea Priestley fistfight?

Bobby Fish and CM Punk's iggy? Big Biceps Tony on Impact? TK basically making the EVP titles honorary after 3 months of TV because the Bucks, Omega, Cody, and Brandi were all terrible bookers? Goldenboy? Jenn Sterger? CVV? Conrad? Trent calling Chikara a cult? Chuck Taylor and The S Word?

Goldenboy was an esports host and commentator that sat in between JR and Excalibur in the early days of AEW on commentary. I don't know why he stopped, but I love hearing the dude, so I hope to hear him commentating wrestling again at some point.

Paul Levesque showing Britt Baker on camera in the friends and family section at an NXT TakeOver to try to get her in trouble at AEW not realizing that TK wouldn't care? AEW then parodying it on Dynamite? Chris Cruise trying to get AEW in trouble with the Maryland State Athletic Commission?

At the very first Dynamite and watched ever since, but I didn't follow either Twitter or BTE so I know less than half this stuff. Wild! As for Chris Cruise tho... ooh, as a long-time MD wrestling/indy fan, I have such "fond" memories of the MSAC ;)... ... I'll just leave this here, shall I?

Was that in an ad break? I’ve always watched on Triller/MyAEW so i’ve never had the commercial breaks but I seem to remember “That’s Adam Cole’s girlfriend” being in an ad break.

Big Swole vs. Allie Katch? Jim Ross getting shit for allegedly getting Sonny Kiss's pronouns wrong when he wasn't at all? Bryan Danielson and flaccid penises? The Bucks lying when asked about the original AEW trademark filings while Cody blabbed to anyone who'd listen? The Toronto Star article?

Tino Sabbatelli allegedly being a WWE mole during marathon AEW Dark tapings? Chris Jericho leaving the AEW World Championship belt in a limo shortly after winning it? Everyone assuming Giancarlo secretly made the Mox prison break video while working for WWE when Mox actually hired Nick Mondo?

CIMA's Chinese acrobats being a planned fixture of Dynamite only for them to be unable to get work visas? Dragon Lee and Konnan double crossing AEW to help WWE? The amount of AEW dirt being reported dramatically shooting up when Phil signed and disappearing when he got fired? Sandbaggate?

Paul forgot that TK loves it when his wrestlers are cool with other wrestlers and other companies bc he hates it when his wrestlers like other wrestlers in other companies. She was also there bc iirc her hubby Cole was in a match so she was being a supportive wifey.

Like it was a missed opportunity to be like "even other wrestlers from THAT SHITTY SUPER INDY AEW come to watch our show because IT'S BETTER THAN AEW" and I feel like it was such a fucking fumble on Paul's part

And then Fish tried to claim that Punk gave him an easy to misread iggy that encouraged him to kick out IDK why he doesn't just admit that he was pissed off over how long Punk took to pin him Fish kicking out at 3.1 actually made the finish better
