The most elite podcast covering All Elite Wrestling in all of Aotearoa New Zealand. Weekly chat and reviews for any and all fans of AEW - but particularly those from New Zealand (we're out there somewhere). Let's share our love for this incredible promotion.
It's been a hell of a week. This episode was recorded late on Sunday night when my daughter was in the hospital. It proved to be a great distraction, but I'm quite emotional and so I go on waaaaayyyy too long about mental health and addiction in the light of the Jon Moxley news. So just be warned - this episode deals with those topics quite a bit, so if you're not interested, I completely understand. However, there is still lots of wrestling chat! Just skip to 38:10.
We are days out from Full Gear and what might be one of the biggest weeks in AEW history. I am absolutely pumped and can not wait.

AEA Episode 5 - The TBS Title Tournament Begins (And It's Looking Great)
This week was a bit of a quiet one for AEW after the manic events of the past couple of weeks. But the programmes themselves were anything but quiet - they were both full to the brim with great action and storyline advancement.
In this episode, we look at the gossip surrounding a hypothetical Charlotte Flair shift to AEW before we look in-depth at both Rampage and Dynamite. I had some sound issues this week, so if some of the cuts sound a bit strange...you're not imagining things, I have had to stitch bits together where audio was lost. Additionally, I forgot to talk about the Jungle Boy and Brandon Cutler match and fallout - what a rookie! But at least there are no ads for Hello Fresh or Blue Chew.

AEA Episode 4 - Ruby and the Bunny Crush Brock and Roman
What a difference a week makes. This week's episode is pretty much me owning up to all the massive L's that I took in last week's podcast - mainly because I am so happy to be so wrong. Lots of ratings talk up front, so if that bores you, the show reviews begin at 18:08.
Update: If you downloaded an earlier version that was edited really badly and had a couple of sequences of me breathing between takes (like an absolute professional!) then please download this new version. Apologies about random beeps and my co-host Barney the Labradoodle making appearances in the show. It will be cool to be able to start doing this from a studio soon.

AEA Episode 3 - Hangman, Hikaru, and Philadelphia
AEW keeps cramming in just so much good stuff. Dynamite inexplicably made an incredible show that had a ludicrous 14 segments - and it worked! This week you will hear me apparently profess my undying love for Hikaru Shida, and my dog Barney will make it clear that he's not happy to have a cone on his head. Ahh the wonders of recording at home.
I mention Tranquilo Club again, as he has made another cracker of a video. Check it out here https://youtu.be/iU3v4Fhf01E (https://youtu.be/iU3v4Fhf01E)
If you enjoy the show, please spread the word. Twitter handle is @AEAotearoa, and I'd be stoked if you could rate, review, and subscribe. Ngā mihi!

AEA Episode 2 - What a week in Rochester NY
We're back with our second episode where we go on a massive rant about AEW Rampage ratings (and why they are fine) while covering other news, and discussing the shows from Rochester NY - the hometown of the late, great, Brodie Lee.

AEA Episode 1 - Grand Slam Lives up to the Hype
Welcome to the first episode of All Elite Aotearoa! The first ten minutes features me introducing myself, so if you want to bypass that because it sounds boring you can get to the rest of the podcast at 9:20.
In this episode I'm discussing a couple of news items, going over last weeks Grand Slam shows, and then looking forward to the already stacked Dynamite card that we are getting next week.
You can find us on twitter at @AEAotearoa or you can email allelitenz@gmail.com. It would be awesome to hear from you.
