AEW Unrestricted pays tribute to the great Mr. Brodie Lee with an encore presentation of his appearance on the podcast! Tony Schiavone and Ref Aubrey also share some of their favorite memories of their co-worker and friend who was taken from this life much too early. RIP Brodie, an amazing talent and even better human!

It’s a great time to be All Elite, and with so many history-making developments, changes, and announcements at the league in recent weeks, Ref Aubrey Edwards and Tony Schiavone decided a catch-up was in order! They share what it’s been like inside AEW with the arrivals of CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole and Ruby Soho. They speak to AEW Dynamite’s return to the road, and performing for full-capacity crowds. They talk about AEW Dark’s move to Orlando to tape in front of live audiences, collaborating with other promotions and talent, the growth and development of the AEW Women’s Division, and the launches of AEW FanFest and AEW Heels. Plus, you’ll hear their favorite moments and memories from the pandemic era.

AEW Unrestricted dug into the vault and dusted off some of our favorite guests in this special encore episode! Jon Moxley shares his entry into professional wrestling including how he got his ring name! Taz explains the importance of helping younger talent at AEW and recalls the rib that Tony Schiavone pulled during a production meeting during the early days of Dynamite! And Best Friends and Orange Cassidy answer fan questions, most of which are about or for Trent’s mom!

Favorite Moments of 2022 with Danhausen, Wardlow, Chris Jericho, Toni Storm, Jay Lethal & Samoa Joe. It’s the best of AEW Unrestricted featuring some of our favorite moments! We’ve got both horror and hilarious travel stories from Toni Storm, Samoa Joe, and Pat Buck; the art of caking from Swerve Strickland and Mark Sterling; Chris Jericho’s favorite AEW match of 2022; great ribs with Jay Lethal, and a cameo appearance from Danhausen! We’ve also got an exclusive (and unbelievably inspiring) interview with Wardlow, captured live at All Out FanFest!

Billy Gunn turned a rodeo scholarship into a career in pro wrestling! Ok, not exactly, but he’s got a great story about how he went from a rodeo ring to a wrestling ring! He’s also got a great story about how he ended up at AEW after being fired by WWE for the fourth time! Billy’s talking D-Generation X, New Age Outlaws, the Smoking Gunns, and what it was like working in the ring with everyone from Road Dogg to The Rock to Stone Cold Steve Austin and Terry Funk (one of the toughest guys ever in the business). Plus, he speaks to his great friendship with Chyna, and his new tag team, The Gunn Club, with his son, Austin.

It’s our favorite moments and stories of AEW Unrestricted from 2023, and that means a little singing and celebrating shrimp cocktail style with Prince Nana; applauding the accomplishments of all four of Billy Gunn’s “sons,” reliving favorite in-ring opponents with Roderick Strong, remembering the late, great Jay Briscoe with his brother Mark, and devolving into hilarious chaos with RJ City.

It’s the best of AEW Unrestricted 2024 as we look back at some of our favorite guests, interviews and moments! We remember Sting’s final match at AEW Revolution with Bryan Danielson and Samoa Joe, Deonna Purrazzo’s AEW debut in her hometown of New Jersey in January 2024, and Adam Copeland’s short-lived TNT Championship run before being sidelined by injury! We also hear from The Arial Assassin Will Ospreay!

We love her and love to hate her, and that’s why we’re giving Mariah May an encore performance here on AEW Unrestricted after her recent loss to former friend turned nemesis (and new 4x AEW Women’s World Champion) Toni Storm! Enjoy this convo with Mariah May recorded just weeks after becoming All Elite in 2023. Mariah May has been too focused on Toni Storm and AEW to bother furnishing her new American apartment (watch the episode on YouTube). Mariah talks about her first meeting with Tony Khan, how she kept her AEW signing a secret, her AEW debut with RJ City, and what the locker room’s been like so far. She also talks Japanese wrestling and culture, how social media during the pandemic ultimately helped her wrestling career, and what it’s been like to travel and live around the world.

Ref Aubrey and Will Washington fire up the highlight reel and revisit the moments, guests, debuts, retirements, surprises, championships, and absolute chaos that defined another landmark year in All Elite Wrestling – from Christopher Daniels’ emotional in-ring farewell (and Curry Man’s final bow on the Jericho Cruise), to behind-the-scenes stories from the All Elite book with Keith Elliott Greenberg, to Speedball Mike Bailey’s All Elite arrival, Kevin Knight’s whirlwind debut run, and Thekla’s punk-rock path to AEW! They relive championship changes, unforgettable promos, new faces, wild debuts, and heartfelt reflections!
