The Good, The Bad, and The Hungee: Mariah May Turns With the Shoe Jul 14, 2024

Show notes

Now that we are past Forbidden Door, All Elite Wrestling is in the process of building up the card for All In. The show might not have the same cache as the first rendition at Wembley Stadium last year, but the card looks significantly stronger. The card is led by the two big title matches, as Bryan Danielson and Mariah May will take on Swerve Strickland and Timeless Toni Storm after winning the Owen Hart Memorial Tournament.

May's turn is one of the more memorable turns in recent memory and Storm's selling of the vicious attack took it to another level. Hosts Tyler and Fred discuss that and more from a very newsworthy Dynamite.

Please like, share, and subscribe so Forbidden Door is a great show like its predecessors.
