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?

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?

I really thought Strong Hearts could have been something. Side note it was very funny early AEW used the same generic template for both Jericho and CIMAs trons

Tony Khan bumming the stickiest of the medical icky off of Big Swole? Samuray del Sol pissing off Amanda Huber with his "Brody" post? GCW World Champion Jon Moxley? Everyone doing indie farewells because the indie booking policy kept changing? The alleged jism-covered TNT Championship belt?

Madi Wrenkowski doing Bianca Belair's whole gimmick down to the long ponytail as a rib, getting destroyed by the black wrestling community over it & it possibly costing her a spot at AEW.

Marko Stunt getting demoted to manager duty because of Twitter bullshit? Christian Cage replacing Marko Stunt without explanation? Christian Cage eventually implying on TV that Luchasaurus murdered Marko Stunt in a storyline that was completely dropped? Rampage beating SmackDown head to head?

WWE: We're facing AEW, we need to bring in a Becky Lynch match and Roman and Brock doing a contract signing. AEW: Let's do a babyface match between CM Punk and Matt Sydal because they wrestled in IWA:MS and follow up with the Bunny and Ruby Soho.

Kenny Omega's weird anti- New Japan, Undertale-themed entrance on Dynamite when he thought that President Harold used political connections to keep him from being able to enter Japan? The AEW reality show that was supposed to largely be about Brawl Out fallout until TK changed his mind?

Ivelisse's last chance at a contract? The AEW/NWA working relationship and TK sniping at Billy? Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux being the only advertised wrestlers pulled from Supercard of Honor 2022 when TK bought ROH? The early obsession with pyro and referees having striped shirts?

Bro, you might need to start a Patreon 😄 cuz I been watching since jump and don't know half this and I am NOSY. I'll pay you $5 a month to get some of these deets lol especially on the sticky icky???

When he replaced the Luchasaurus last minute in the tag title tournament and bad faith Twitter freaked out because of the false finishes where he kicked out of stuff

Sammy and Tay got derailed as babyfaces after a promo about how much sex they had with the TNT belt on and how they were thus in Dan Lambert's mouth after he kissed the belt

And then right after Sandbaggate, Thunder Rosa missile-dropkicking Jamie Hayter in the back of the head during a pin attempt. With rumors of TR ”hiding in the bathroom” from Hayter afterward. Summer of 2022, ladies and gentlemen!
