Transcript
- 0:07It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for Ignition with aw
- 0:11fan Hub. This is your host, Kelson, and I'm sitting here with
- 0:15Net and MK and Sutton and we're gonna talk about a few things, but
- 0:20we're gonna start with Revolution. I'm gonna go right to Net. Give it
- 0:25a rating on you know, give it a rating on a scale one to
- 0:29ten. Give me what you thought was the best and maybe the most surprising.
- 0:32And if you want to go into the worst to be a negative Nancy,
- 0:36you know, or a negative Ken, go ahead in some people's cases
- 0:41and just let us know what did you right off the bat? What was
- 0:45your rating for the show? My rating for Revolution, I would have to
- 0:50give it a ten out of ten. I liked everything about it. My
- 0:57favorite match would have to be will Osprey and Takeshta. I think that was
- 1:04fantastic. Yeah, and I was a little bit surprised that FTR lost.
- 1:12I had picked them to win. One of my other favorite things was when
- 1:19Darby Allen went through that glass panel. Oh yeah, I was higher table.
- 1:23I'm sure you to do. I mean, I expect him to do
- 1:30crazy things, but that really really took it over the top, And did
- 1:37you see how many stitches he got? Twelve? I think twelve. I
- 1:41would have thought he would have gotten like thirty two. That was like a
- 1:45third of what I thought he was. I'm sorry, but go ahead.
- 1:47I just thought it was amazing. Twelve stitches. Yeah, I've honestly,
- 1:51I for a minute there, I thought he had died. Honestly, when
- 1:56he wasn't moving and they weren't putting the camera over on that side on purpose,
- 2:01I thought he was really out of there. But yeah, and let's
- 2:09see, uh what else. I was really hyped for that Eddie Kingston Danielson
- 2:15match, and I was a little disappointed with it. I thought it could
- 2:21have been a little bit better there. It seemed like something was missing.
- 2:27What do you? Could you pinpoint? Because I unfortunately didn't see it.
- 2:34I had to go get, you know, some stuff out of my ears
- 2:37and it took the entire match. But anyway, what was missing in your
- 2:42opinion? Well, you know, I have been looking at at Eddie a
- 2:47little more critically since you and I have been discussing it, and I know
- 2:53that you are not an Eddie fan, so I have been trying to look
- 2:58at things from the other side. Of the fence, so to speak,
- 3:00and I thought that he could have brought a little bit more. He just
- 3:06seemed to, like you pointed out a couple of times to me, be
- 3:12doing the same kind of moves, the same kind of action, and I
- 3:17felt almost like Danielson was holding back a little bit. I just something about
- 3:23it seemed a little off with the two of them. I'm I don't know,
- 3:31so yeah, again, I didn't see to imagine. Was it a
- 3:35chemistry thing? Do you think they didn't that they lacked chemistry together? I
- 3:40maybe that's what it was. It just I don't know. It seemed like
- 3:46there was a lot of hype around it, so maybe it just didn't live
- 3:51up to the hype that had been there. And I expected the whole time
- 3:58that Eddie was going to win, and I feel like they kind of gave
- 4:00it away when they put that handshake stipulation on it. So there was no
- 4:08surprise to anything. I mean, you know, Danielson's gonna come out and
- 4:12he's gonna kick somebody. You know, Eddie's gonna flip somebody. There was
- 4:16no wow moment in that match. It was a straight up match. Yeah.
- 4:24Basically it was basically if I'm reading you right. It sounded to me
- 4:29like you got what you expected, but because it was a pay per view,
- 4:32maybe you wanted a little bit more. That's it. That's that's exactly
- 4:38it. Okay, that's fair. That's fair, all right. So if
- 4:44you know, mon, I'm just gonna go ahead and move on to m
- 4:46MK and Thatt if you want to ask MK a question, and Sutton also,
- 4:53you know, feel free to break in uh into the discussion. So
- 4:57MKA, you know, rate this Revel Solution pay per view on a scale
- 5:00one to ten? What did you think was the best? Would surprise you?
- 5:04And maybe if you have a worst, what was the worst? N
- 5:14MK, you got an unmute to talk. I needed myself. I love
- 5:23the pay per view, I'm gonna say in eight point five great overall,
- 5:29I really like I said, I really love like she said. I I
- 5:33really love to talk Takashka and Osprey. That was great. There are some
- 5:43really Solow matches. I really love the world title match, so that's awesome
- 5:51as well. You know, it was good. I I'm not a fan
- 5:56of multi man matches, so I didn't like to scramble. I figured Wardlow
- 6:03was gonna win. Anyway, but I just don't like them. There's too
- 6:09many people and it felt weird and it felt I thought it sink and I
- 6:15is wrestling. I don't know what else to call it. It was not
- 6:18necessary. I thought it was entertaining, but I thought overall the match was
- 6:23just filler and unnecessary because you knew Warlow was gonna win its every but and
- 6:28something. Do you agree with that too, did you? Yeah? My
- 6:31problem with the match was there was no need to put Jericho and the smaller
- 6:36guys in that match, because my saying, yeah, if you took those
- 6:42four out and you left it just at the four big guys, it's a
- 6:46hell of a match. But it was weird to me though. Yeah,
- 6:51it was weird. Okay, sorry, you'll get your okay, I just
- 7:02look okay, yeah, uh sorry. Uh. I just feel honestly that
- 7:09it kind of felt synchronized because at one point it was all the big men
- 7:13in and then somehow all the big men got out. It was a four
- 7:15little man in and it was just so synchronized and so bad. I didn't
- 7:20mind the women's title match. It kind of it's kind of a slow pace,
- 7:28but honestly I felt that it was good for what it was. The
- 7:33two could have been a lot more built Its built up so big that I
- 7:36think it could have been a lot bigger, And I don't want to nitpick,
- 7:42but I was not a super fan of the way the whole thing's last
- 7:47Max went down, with the glass breaking and stuff. I thought it was
- 7:50a little over the top and a little corny at times, was seeing getting
- 7:55all the offense and stuff like that. But like I said, I'm a
- 7:58huge fan. I'm glad he did what he did and the way he went
- 8:00out, but it felt a little corny to me with old Man's being being
- 8:05the craft out of two younger guys like that, But I would have was
- 8:09Was there anything of you that was surprising to you? Surprising? No?
- 8:15I thought it was a very good match. I knew that the Tavaschina mask
- 8:20and Osprey was gonna be good, but I didn't know it was gonna be
- 8:22that good. That was a match of the Knight for me. Right,
- 8:28Okay, that's fair, let's go to Sutton. Go ahead and rank this
- 8:31between one and ten and decimal points are allowed. And you know, like
- 8:35everybody else did, give me like your best and maybe the one that surprised,
- 8:41the match that surprised you, or the moments that surprised you, and
- 8:43if you have a worse share that with us too. Okay, Uh,
- 8:48i'd given an eight. I the beginning of the match. The beginning matches
- 8:54were just they didn't seem like they were pay per view worthy. The meat
- 9:01match or the Scramble could have been gone. The FTR and BCC match,
- 9:07it was just another match. It didn't really need to be on the pay
- 9:11per view until you got to the offspring to catch just match there was.
- 9:16That was That's when it started, and then it picked up steam and went
- 9:20to the end. Uh. That was that. I mean, that's gonna
- 9:22be everybody's favorite matches the night. I believe because that match was unbelievable.
- 9:28Somebody said this only march from where he got a match of the of the
- 9:31Year candidate, and that's gonna be hard to talk. I really do believe
- 9:35that the women's match was Okay, it's about what I expected. The Statlander
- 9:43match, that was kind of what I expected. It wasn't It was a
- 9:48pretty good match. I didn't have a problem with the Eddie and uh the
- 9:50Eddie match, I thought that was a decent match to this thing. I
- 9:54get where MK is coming from, but it was it was the best way,
- 10:00first thing to go out. I think they did that perfectly. Uh
- 10:03yeah, I get the fact that that people may say, well, it
- 10:05was a young you know, and meeting up two young guys, but that's
- 10:09thing. Thing's always been that way in most of his matches. If he's
- 10:13not if he's winning, he's gonna make that kind of thing. And they
- 10:16said, I think they sent him off, right. I did like the
- 10:20I kind of wish they would have did the opposite way with the suns because
- 10:24the surfer dude looked good. The other guy was a little too small,
- 10:28you know what I mean. So I don't know. I was pretty I
- 10:33was pretty happy with it. But I believe, like like MK said,
- 10:37I believe thet the scramble was probably the worst of the match of the night.
- 10:43Okay, I'll get my thoughts. I thought it was a nine point
- 10:48five. I do agree with you that the first couple of matches were kind
- 10:54of fillerish, but they served a purpose and they were fine. I actually
- 11:01enjoyed the eight man match, and I am not one that likes the eight
- 11:03man matches. I don't like multi man matches. I don't like Trio's matches.
- 11:09I just don't enjoy them as much. When I say I don't like
- 11:13him, but that's not true. It's that I don't enjoy them as much.
- 11:16They're two convoluted and there's too much going on and there's no way if
- 11:22you're watching from home they can keep up with it. I disagree with you
- 11:26totally about Stings sons because the guy who was the son Steven that was Wolfpack
- 11:33Sting is far, far, far, far bigger than the guy that was
- 11:41Surfer Sting. He's absolutely jacked. You can go his name is Stephen Borden
- 11:46Junior and you go on his YouTube and he basically does work out YouTube videos
- 11:52and he is massive. Yeah, Takesha and Osprey were the was the match
- 12:01in a night for me, and the World Championship match was really good.
- 12:07It exceeded my expectations, and that's what I kind of wanted to say about
- 12:11this pay per view. Even though I wasn't really looking forward per se to
- 12:16the eight man match, it exceeded my expectations. I really wasn't too much
- 12:20into the FTR and the BCC match, but again it exceeded my expectations.
- 12:26I gave the pay per view a nine point five, and the only reason
- 12:31I gave it a nine point five was because of the Women's World Championship match,
- 12:35not that it was a bad match. After I rewatched it, it
- 12:39was a decent match, but did not come anywhere close to my expectations,
- 12:46and it was misplaced. It didn't keep up with the flow of all the
- 12:52other matches on the pay per view where it was action action, action action
- 12:58and just find out do themselves and uh, and I just felt that it
- 13:03was to stay. I think they tried to do a technical match and they
- 13:07didn't and it didn't work on that level, and it just got to be
- 13:11a point where it was just a grappling match that, you know, frankly,
- 13:16was very boring, especially when you keep in mind that you know,
- 13:22as we said on the previous podcast, we did a poll with the aw
- 13:26fan up community. We pulled the uh you know, the members here,
- 13:33and I think one person in the entire aaw fan up community now you can't
- 13:39remember it's what it was. But with one of our podcasters thought that the
- 13:43po something, Yeah, it wasn't you picked somebody picked the out of Parazzo
- 13:48to win, and you were the only one to do so. Out of
- 13:54hundreds of votes across Reddit and YouTube and threads and blue Sky and Twitter,
- 14:00one person in the entire community picked the pazzo. Yeah. Well, you
- 14:07know, hey, it's it's any given Sunday, right, and it was
- 14:13on Sunday, so it could have happened. Hey, I got I guess
- 14:16I might find kind of funny. We talked about the pay per view,
- 14:20all of us, not one person mentioned the T n T title match.
- 14:26Well, it was it was a it was a serviceable match, But I
- 14:30honestly feel like Danny Danny Garcia was substitute. Yeah, and and like we
- 14:35said before we were talking earlier, I think that that ended. It seemed
- 14:39like it just it was rolling along and then it just died and it was
- 14:45over, and it was just like, this don't make any sense. I
- 14:48think there was. I think something had to have happened, at least it's
- 14:50the way it seemed to me. Getting involved, I got over it.
- 14:56I mean, once mother Wayne got involved and one and and stuff, I
- 15:01figured out that it was going to be the same old, same old.
- 15:05That's why I really think it's time for a change that belt. But I
- 15:07don't. I don't see it happening though. Well, uh, speaking of
- 15:13belts, we're going to talk about a few of the championship belts in a
- 15:20W. And here's one of the interesting facts about the Revolution pay per view.
- 15:26Now, they weren't all in title matches, but of the eight championship
- 15:31belts in ae W and if you want to say FTW championship and make it
- 15:37nine, every single title holder in a W did participate in one form or
- 15:46the other in a match at Revolution, So that was good. Of course,
- 15:52we're a couple in in the in the zero hour, but we're we're
- 16:00going to talk about some of the belts. We're all going to take one
- 16:03belt and talk about what we see happening or what we would like to happen
- 16:07in the near future. And we're going to go to net first and let
- 16:14her talk about the belt that she chose to talk about. Go ahead,
- 16:18and that Okay, I chose to talk about the tag team belts. I
- 16:27like tag team wrestling a lot. I always have. It's just really good
- 16:36stuff. When you have two people that have good chemistry, that know each
- 16:42other really well and work together to win matches. I think a good example
- 16:48of that is FTR and Mox and Claudio. I think they are good examples
- 16:57of tag team at teams that work really well together. I'd like to see
- 17:03AEW do more with their tag team wrestling in general. They have some other
- 17:11groups of people that are really good together and that they could push a little
- 17:17bit more, build up a little bit more. And I think now is
- 17:22a really good opportunity for that to happen since the belt has been vacated by
- 17:30Tony Kahan, So I think there's a real opportunity for some good competition and
- 17:37I hope to see them make that happen and it doesn't fall into Everybody fight
- 17:44the Young Bucks and every week FTR and Blackpool Combat Club is having some kind
- 17:52of disagreement. I hope they get to showcase all of the other tag teams
- 17:57that they have. Let me ask you a Let me ask you a question
- 18:02real quick, because we've talked about this on the podcast before, but I
- 18:03don't know if I've ever spoken to you specifically about that about this. And
- 18:08the question is do you feel like the trios titles and all the teams that
- 18:17are in the trios titles take away from the tag title in other words,
- 18:22what I'm saying is, Okay, so you have the guns they're not a
- 18:25tag team because they're in the trios. You have the acclaim they're not a
- 18:27tag team because they're in the trios. And of course you've had other trios
- 18:33teams that were not participating in tag matches because they were trios in the past,
- 18:37like Desk Triangles, the Elite, et cetera. So the question is
- 18:42do you think that the Do you think that that's an issue. Do you
- 18:45think that the trios title is taking away from the tag titles? I do.
- 18:53I think so, because it's it's too much going on. I mean
- 19:00every now and then. To have a trios match would make things interesting.
- 19:06But to put a lot of the tag teams in with a third person and
- 19:11have them fight for that belt steams the little over the top, I guess
- 19:18is a good word. I prefer that they keep it to the tag team
- 19:22matches and let it go from there. So yeah, that's how I think
- 19:30about it. Okay, I'm going to move on to MK now and he's
- 19:41going to talk about the title that he chose to speak about, and I
- 19:45have some I actually have a pretty pretty straight forward question to ask you too.
- 19:52If you don't bring it up in your discussion, go ahead. I'm
- 19:59kay. Well, look, I I really love this belt from the beginning,
- 20:07even though it changed from I don't remember what it was called in the
- 20:10beginning. But what what belt are we talking about? The Intercontinental Belt?
- 20:18I used to be called something else. I can't remember what it was.
- 20:22It used to be called the inter Well, what what was it called?
- 20:26Was it? Because it's not the Intercontinental Belt, it's at the International Belt
- 20:30something like that. Yeah, yeah, it was Atlantic belt. That's called
- 20:34the it's called the International Belt. Yeah yeah, I'm sorry. So I
- 20:41like the idea of it, but that but the riginal idea was a travel
- 20:45and the number one thing that needs to stay away from the international title is
- 20:52Orange Cassidy. I love the guy. He's a star. He's made it
- 20:56what it is. But I began the joke in the chat lafetime for the
- 21:02pay per view was that his his ring gear needs to start, including the
- 21:07Kinetic Cape. He's always beaten up, he's always he's always the underdog in
- 21:14it, and that's great, but I think it's time for Orange Cassidy to
- 21:18move on from that. Though I don't want to see him come back and
- 21:21go for it again. On the other hand, the person who thought of
- 21:23that pay per view I'm not a fan of. I want to like the
- 21:26guy. He's a war coorse, but he bores me to tears. He
- 21:33was okay when he was doing the screaming people's name. I got to chuckle
- 21:37out of that. But I just want that title to go back to where
- 21:42it needs to be on someone who is fun to watch, who who has
- 21:48the move, who can take it overseas and be fine with it. What's
- 21:53Orange Cassidy did? Like I said, he's he's fun to watch, but
- 21:57he's growing still. I'd love to see him go more of a tween your
- 22:03persona anyway, but that's a different time and place for that. But the
- 22:06person I talked about last week that needs to get it is Will Osprey.
- 22:11He would be great to send them places. As he's shown on the pay
- 22:15per view, he can put on a mask with just about anybody and make
- 22:18it look good. He's fantastic. He looks so dank smooth. I don't
- 22:23know who to compare the dude to, but he is phenomenal his attitude,
- 22:29he can be healed, he can be face and if we're paying him all
- 22:33this money to come over, he needs a title, and that's the title
- 22:37to do. I don't think and he and t is it. But if
- 22:40he can be on every week and do his thing, it's great to put
- 22:44him in that match and have him be the guy the face of the International
- 22:51division. Now, well, you know what you said just to beget this
- 22:56off, was actually related to the questions that I wanted to ask you and
- 23:00the others could jump in too after you answer MK. You called the international
- 23:04title at the beginning of your discussion the intercontinental title. Yes, uh,
- 23:11my question was directly related to what you said in that what's the difference between
- 23:15the international title and the continental title? And you know, we've talked about
- 23:19this before in the podcast and in the community, and a lot of people
- 23:22say there is no difference and they should just combine them in the one belt.
- 23:26What do you feel about that? What's the different between in w W
- 23:34the no the Continental title that Eddie Kingston is currently h and the international title
- 23:41that Roderick Strong now has. Okay, I got you, what's what's what's
- 23:47the difference? I mean they should be they should be the same title.
- 23:52You have a point there. I haven't thought about that. The other one
- 23:59came along, and I think they wanted that to be inter promotional too,
- 24:03So I don't know, that's a good question. I don't see the need
- 24:07for that that belt anyway, to be quite honest with you, which belt
- 24:12are you talking about? The the Continental Collapse Classic or whatever it's called.
- 24:18I don't I don't see a purpose for that. I'm not a big and
- 24:23but yes, they you know, they could have left that alone and then
- 24:26let and then join in the r O H and whatever other one and then
- 24:32New Japan. But that one's going to credit anyway, because no one's even
- 24:37mentioned just the international flavor with it. So right, maybe you have a
- 24:42point. Maybe they didn't need to. You're making a good point because when
- 24:45you have something that's called the continental title and the international title and they're fighting
- 24:52basically the same people week after week, both of the groups basically, and
- 24:56they're not taking it international or continental, what's the point. But I agree
- 25:03with you. The Continental title for me, and I don't know how I'd
- 25:07like to get the other people's opinions on this, but for me, the
- 25:10Continental title specifically had a really great tournament and then as soon as the tournaments
- 25:17over, it should have been handled like the Owen Hart Tournament. The other
- 25:19belt should never have been attached to it because that that title is absolutely one
- 25:27meaningless. It's the reason why one of the reasons why when I mean it's
- 25:36phoned in. I mean, you know who's gonna win every time, you
- 25:37know, you know Eddie's not gonna lose it. What's the point watching it?
- 25:41And that's the reason why I didn't watch the match between Eddie Kingston and
- 25:45Brian Danielson because there was no point in watching it at all. So I
- 25:52know you're king Stefander, you did mention something about it, But do you
- 25:56think that the international title the continental title should be combined? Who mean yes,
- 26:03oh, sorry, yes, I do. I think that it should
- 26:07be. It's the same belt running around on two different people who are doing
- 26:12the exact same things, So I think so. And also when that belt
- 26:21was one in the Owen Heart Cup, it seems like it should just kind
- 26:30of stays there and be an honor that is talked about. And you know,
- 26:40everybody knows you won that tournament, and it's great and it's fantastic,
- 26:45but you don't need to parade a belt around all year for it. That's
- 26:51how I think about it. Yeah, yeah, I mean the Continental title.
- 26:56I mean the Continental tournament for me, and I'm going to go to
- 26:59Sutton next But for me, the Continental tournament was far better than the on
- 27:03a hard tournament and taking nothing away from the O Heart turnment because that was
- 27:07fine too. But at the end of the day, they're not really I'm
- 27:11sorry, I don't consider it the one hard tournament winner a title holder.
- 27:18They want a tournament, and I feel the same way about the Continental title.
- 27:22They're not a They're not a title holder. They won a tournament,
- 27:26you know, I think about it, you know, And that they attached
- 27:30the R o H title and the DO Japan title to the Continental title is
- 27:34just I'm sorry, it's for me, it's stupid. But elf, what
- 27:40are your thoughts on this? Let me disagree with you all. Okay,
- 27:44here's the difference they had between the two. The Continental title. The reason
- 27:48they this is where I this is my take on it. The reason they
- 27:51attached the two other titles to it is that title will be defended in one
- 27:55of three places, aw R O H or New Japan. The International title
- 28:00can be defended anywhere. That's the difference in the three titles. That's that's
- 28:04the biggest difference between them all. I have not yet seen they have not
- 28:08yet taken it anywhere else, but that to me is generally why they did
- 28:14the continental title. It's going to be repeated every year. It's going to
- 28:18have a different next year because whoever the AAW champion is is going to be
- 28:22included in it. So that's where I see it coming from. I you
- 28:26know, I don't know. I think that I wouldn't combine them because then
- 28:32you're you're and a lot of the times they did this because they wanted more
- 28:36titles. I mean, let's be honest, they have maybe one too many
- 28:41titles. You know, we talked about the triple the title, the the
- 28:47six Man titles earlier. I think that they're gonna end up getting rid of
- 28:49one of those in a combination night somewhere, either be the R O H
- 28:53or the AW ones because they don't both need one. Yeah, so I
- 29:00think it's gonna be I think what's gonna end up happening at the end of
- 29:03this Bang Bang scissor Gang. I think what's gonna end up happening is the
- 29:07way it seems right now, is you're for the tag team tournament that's coming
- 29:11up, They're going to split them up and it's going to be Daddy Ass
- 29:15going to the Bang Bang and the Acclaim becoming the Acclaim again. That's just
- 29:22how I see it happening. And then they're gonna end up having all the
- 29:23titles and they'll figure out what's doing from there. But I kind of like
- 29:27the way they have it. You're probably ramk about Orange. I love Orange
- 29:32Cassidy. I think he's one of the best we got and he did elevate
- 29:37that title as the highest you can but he does need to take a break.
- 29:41I mean, he's been wrestling for how long he's defended that thing,
- 29:45like thirty sometimes, so you know, he does need to have a break.
- 29:49I think if you get the titles, the Continental title off of Eddie
- 29:53and put it on somebody else like Okada or Jay White or anybody that's more
- 30:02into the other areas, that it will make it better. Yeah. Well,
- 30:07I'm gonna make one more point on this. I mean, one day
- 30:10announced the Continental title, they did that Brackets announcement show on YouTube, and
- 30:17at that time, that was when Eddie came out and said that he's putting
- 30:19up his NJPWN ROH titles up. And then they did the brackets all right,
- 30:25And I looked at the brackets at that very first day before the before
- 30:30the tournament even started, and I said, Okay, the brackets look really
- 30:33good and there's gonna be some really enjoyable matches in this bracket. But we
- 30:37know that Eddie Kingston's already gonna win, because there's no way they're going to
- 30:41take those titles off of Eddie Kingston for this. So you went into the
- 30:45tournament knowing that Eddie Kingston was going to win. As a matter of fact,
- 30:48I also predicted that Eddie Kingston was going to lose his first match because
- 30:52they had to make him an underdog. So they come back and win it.
- 30:56Ra rah Ree kick him in the raw, row Rask kick him in
- 30:59the other day kind of thing, you know what I mean? So well,
- 31:03and that's the thing with Eddie. You know, they they you knew
- 31:06it was gonna happen, and that sometimes comes in to be a problem for
- 31:08aw in general. They do a lot of things that you already know what's
- 31:14gonna happen, but the story is what they try to build. Yeah,
- 31:18but the story is meaningless if you already know the ending. But anyway,
- 31:23that's my point, and I'm not talking down on that particular title. I'm
- 31:26talking down on a lot of the titles. You get a lot of matches
- 31:30where you just know that the story is meaningless because there's no no way that
- 31:40this wrestler is going to beat the champion or whatever. But anyway, Uh,
- 31:45so we're gonna go to Elf Sutton here now, and uh you're going
- 31:48to talk about the EBS title. I believe, so go for it.
- 31:53So we've got four women that are in for the in in this convoluted area.
- 32:00For the TBS title. You've got Stat who's the former champ. You've
- 32:04got uh my name, the names are gonna go from me right now,
- 32:08and uh Willow who is her partner, And they've been tagging up with Julia
- 32:15and sky Blue. But honestly, I'm hoping that they're going to I don't
- 32:21I have a problem with with uh their their their manager. He just he's
- 32:28just so smarty. I just don't. I don't like him being with Willow
- 32:31and and and Stat because it just doesn't fit. I just don't see it
- 32:35fitting well. I see. I see that by the time the next pay
- 32:38per view comes. I'm kind of hoping that stat is kind of whittled off
- 32:44because she's had it. She's better than that. She doesn't need that title
- 32:47anymore. She needs to go towards the women's title that she just needs to
- 32:52be completely out of that and it needs to come down to Willow, Guy
- 32:54Blue, and Julia. I don't want to see a three way title match,
- 33:00but it might come. But I definitely would like to see maybe the
- 33:05next pay per view having Willow versus Julia for the title. I think that
- 33:09would be an awesome match. I think that could be They could build that
- 33:14up where halfway through they could have the Sky kind of either go back to
- 33:21helping Willow or something could happen there. But we know that they like to
- 33:24do three way matches for titles, so there might end up being a three
- 33:29way between Julia Sky and her. I don't know, but that's what I
- 33:31would like to see happening. That's how I actually see it happening. But
- 33:35we'll figure I guess we'll see in the future. Well, let me go
- 33:37to that real quick and just ask you point blank. I mean, who
- 33:42would you like to see be Julia Hart's next real challenger. You mean,
- 33:45like a pay per view worthy challenger for Dynasty, say for the TPS title
- 33:52or Julia Heart. Ooh, I don't know. I really don't know.
- 34:04So there lies a problem too, you know, Yeah, you know?
- 34:07So I mean if you don't know, you don't know and bad that that
- 34:12could be a bad thing. It could be a good thing. Okay,
- 34:15do you have anybody in mind that maybe, you know, hypothetically could chase
- 34:17you challenge Julia Hard at say Dynasty in April. I think he's a nail
- 34:22on the head. There's not a lot of young people I'd like to see
- 34:27eventually adding on with it. But my thing is, and I think when
- 34:30it first came out, that title seem punk was against it because it didn't
- 34:36make sense, and I'm and I hate to agree with the guy, but
- 34:38I kind of do. I would rather see that title be a the TBS
- 34:44Women's Tag Team because there's plenty of women in the Vision Showcase and I would
- 34:49rather have that in there than having two women's titles because there's not enough talent.
- 34:53Maybe when Mercedes and then get in there, there'll be more people,
- 34:58and maybe that's something that I may could have, but uh, there's just
- 35:01not enough people in that division to make it work or that I care about
- 35:05enough. I don't care too much about Sky. I love Willow, but
- 35:08I think she is right up right up there for the other division. So
- 35:15I mean, I don't that is not enough people and that I care about
- 35:20that. I want to see the belt. Well. The problem with Willow
- 35:23is that Julie has already beat her twice. I believe, I know she's
- 35:28beat her once, and I believe pretty much everybody is beat Willow. I
- 35:32mean, if you look at her record from last year, she lost a
- 35:36lot of matches, she really did, and so she's not a championship world
- 35:42championship contender to me. I'm gonna throw a name out there that I think
- 35:45should be would be a good contender, and that's Mariah May. I think
- 35:50Mariah May would be perfect in the TBS title, that would be perfect as
- 35:55a champion as well. Because I do think that eventually, really soon,
- 36:00as a matter of fact, probably I may even go so far as to
- 36:05say it may be announced. A big business is I think that the ROH
- 36:14six Man and the AW Trios Championship are going to have the unification match that
- 36:21was brought up, and I also think that the AW women's tag team title
- 36:28belts will be announced, and I think that it's really really something that AW
- 36:37really needs because we already know that they're going to be because of Mercedes Modet,
- 36:43they're going to be putting more women on TV, which I am one
- 36:47behind, but it's not going to work if they're going to be on TV
- 36:52fighting in essentially meaningless matches or squash matches where you know who's going to win
- 36:58win before the match cands. So here here's my thoughts on that, and
- 37:02it goes back to the history of wrestling. I know everybody loves the women's
- 37:07matches, but look at like WWE up until the last few years didn't have
- 37:13a lot of women's matches. Hell, they didn't have a Devas division for
- 37:15a long time, because the thought has always been women's matches do not bring
- 37:22ratings. They don't. That's one of the reasons why there's so few of
- 37:24them on TV. With the women's division. There's a lot of people that
- 37:29that that are like Mariah, you have her, you have DEEB, you
- 37:34have Rijo, you have uh, You've got what's her? Name the Kendo
- 37:40girl. I can't think of names right now. You have you have Chidah,
- 37:45you have Statlander, you have sky Blue, you have Willow, you
- 37:50have that's seven right there. Well, so y'all don't forget that. You're
- 37:53also talking about you know, Meggan Main, who is like contract she'll be
- 37:58coming and she's definitely contenter. You Kazakazaki is a title holder from t jp
- 38:06W. You've got You've got the you know, of course versites money coming.
- 38:12Yeah, you've got the chances of Camille coming in and Camille is a
- 38:15top ten wrestler in the world. Is yeah, herself and Queen Amanada.
- 38:22But my point about that is this, you said there's not enough to have
- 38:27both those titles. That's not true because you have eleven. If you take
- 38:30away one of those titles, you have eleven women fighting for one title.
- 38:34Even if you have a tag team, it's not going to be the same.
- 38:37It's going to be eleven women who deserve or have a shot at becoming
- 38:42a champion with one title. So instead of having like the TVs title it
- 38:47I think it's necessary because once you do get back to a full roster of
- 38:52women and you get back to the point where you're going to have more women
- 38:57on TV if you make it, because if you only have you can only
- 39:00have a few women going after title of the time, you know, so
- 39:04if you take away one of those women's titles, you kind of bottleneck them
- 39:08into Okay, well, this month's gonna be it's gonna be Queen Amanada and
- 39:15uh whoever. And next month it's gonna be stat Lander versus this person,
- 39:20and you're gonna bottle it up. So they kind of need that. But
- 39:22I agree they do need a women's tag team titles. I think that would
- 39:25be great. They need to care about that well. And the problem was,
- 39:30like everybody always said, you know they had, the biggest problem was
- 39:34and I won't go too far into it, but during the pandemic, you
- 39:38had so few women that could wrestle because everybody was hurt. So but suck.
- 39:45Look at it right now, you've got so many women that are out
- 39:47with injury. You still you know, you didn't bring up Britt Baker,
- 39:51you didn't bring up Jamie Hayter. You know, question you didn't bring you
- 39:55because they've been gone so long. You didn't even bring up thunder Ross or
- 39:59Serena Deep I know, because it's the mindset because these women have been missing
- 40:06for so long. But here's the problem with that. Here's the problem with
- 40:09that. I didn't say Baker for a reason, and you know why,
- 40:13that is right. Some people like britt some people don't. That's fine,
- 40:17you know. I try to stay off of that when I when I came
- 40:21because I don't like her. I never did like her, and I think
- 40:23she was the worst champion they ever had. And it was like with the
- 40:28TBS title, you had it on somebody else that they wanted to put that
- 40:31on stat Lander. In the beginning, it was supposed to be like a
- 40:35couple of weeks maybe for Cardio to have it, but then that got hurt.
- 40:39Yes, Jamie Hayter will be great when she comes back, and you
- 40:42can add another name. I wasn't trying to name everybody, but I was
- 40:45just making the point that there are there that makes even if you put Baker
- 40:51in that run in that I think he would be fine in the TBS title
- 40:54picture, but not in the women's title because she had it, she don't
- 40:58need it again. But you know that Puts is a thirteen or fourteen,
- 41:01which makes even more for the point of you can't get rid of that title,
- 41:05because if you do, that's more women you're gonna have, you know
- 41:07what I mean, it's gonna bottle things up, and you're just gonna make
- 41:10it where you're gonna have so many matches that don't mean anything. You're gonna
- 41:15have whoever's in that much that for that cycle, whoever the is gonna be
- 41:21going. Let's say when Jamie Hater comes back and she's the person they bring
- 41:23back and they let her get in with and she's going for the world title.
- 41:29That at least for thirteen other women who might be on TV, but
- 41:32their matches are meaningless. So at least if you have an extra title like
- 41:37the TVs title, you have something to put them out there for so you
- 41:42can have more meaningful matches. That's just the way I see it, right,
- 41:46I agree with you. Go ahead, you want to jump in.
- 41:50You know, here's here's a problem. I don't have all these wrestlers but
- 41:52not enough TV time. I think that this is this is my opinion.
- 41:57They need to make a utube show devoted to the female wrestlers so that they
- 42:06can get more on there yet to know them and stuff like that. Because
- 42:10all the Whistler's coming on end and then you're gonna have a whole roster full
- 42:15of guys to get on TV on two different shows. And it got to
- 42:17make ram Page. We don't forget you, stole you. You have a
- 42:22rig of honor too. Unfortunately, unfortunately when they joint, when they got
- 42:28this TV deal, they were told they put no content anywhere else but on
- 42:32television through the TV deal. So that's why they got rid of Dark and
- 42:36Dark and Dark, and that that was why it went away, is because
- 42:40the company that the TV title was said, the TV deal said, you
- 42:45want the deal, you got to put your content. Everything you make goes
- 42:46on us. But I agree with you one hundred percent. It was so
- 42:51much better when you had Dark and Dark Elevation because you could put you could
- 42:55do five hundred matches on there if you want to two in a week and
- 42:59you get everybody's yeah, all right, well let's let's move on. But
- 43:05unless that has something to say, Oh I'm sorry, I was going to
- 43:10say, there's a point about Willow Nightingale that I think a lot of people
- 43:16miss. Will O Nightingale beat Mercedes Monette, Yes, and kind of well,
- 43:25no one talks about it no one hypes her up. I I kind
- 43:31of don't like the way they market Willow. I think that she could be
- 43:37a lot stronger, and they kind of make her this silly, bubbly kind
- 43:45of person running around happy to see everybody, when honestly, I think she
- 43:50could beat the crap out of most of the women's division. I'm going to
- 43:55be honest with you here. I love Willow Nightingale, but Nightingale is perfect
- 44:00for a tag team division because Willow Nightingale can't go five bit us without getting
- 44:06completely gassed, and that's a fact. YE to work on her, and
- 44:13I think pairing her with Stantlander is a good idea. But I think if
- 44:16she just did a little bit more, she'd be a lot better. And
- 44:23and she's definitely over. You can't argue that. Well. That's That's like
- 44:28with like Oors Cassidy. Everybody's talking about you got you got in the title
- 44:32and he had it for so long, But he's one of the most over
- 44:35people in the business right now. You know what I mean, he had
- 44:37you. It doesn't matter what he's doing, he's over. And you have
- 44:42a lot of people like that that are that are over that it's it's just
- 44:45like Will. I love Will. I think she's a great wrestler. I
- 44:49don't think that's going to be a problem for her. She had the title,
- 44:52she took from they, but when they got hurt and she's been on
- 44:55r O H. So you know, I just I don't know. We'll
- 44:59see what happens, like I guess. But that's that's a good point though.
- 45:01Yeah, we'll move on. But there is one point that I want
- 45:05to make. But did you have something to add? Go ahead, No,
- 45:07No, I was I was saying, Okay, I agree there.
- 45:13But the one thing that I do want to say is that if you look
- 45:16at the quarterly breakdowns of the wrestling shows, women aw women, specifically Julia
- 45:27Hart in particular, bring in the ratings, their ratings gold. You know,
- 45:34they get the highest amount of ratings on Collision when Julia is on.
- 45:40There have been a few weeks where when her segment had the highest ratings or
- 45:45the second highest ratings on the entire show. So I don't want people to
- 45:52it bothers me when people say that women don't get ratings. What doesn't get
- 45:57ratings is bad promotion. If you promote anything right, you're going to get
- 46:01the ratings, and it just so happens is that some of the most over
- 46:06wrestlers in AW right now are women. You know, you've got to give
- 46:10them credit. They work their tails off, They got the recognition for themselves.
- 46:15They just have to be used properly and given the chance to spread their
- 46:19wings. But I want to move on to We've got two matches we could
- 46:23talk about on AW Dynamite and and but you know, look the the AW
- 46:34Dynamite tomorrow night is in Well they keep saying it's Atlanta, but it's really
- 46:38not. It's about forty five minute minutes northwest of Atlanta, northeast of Atlanta.
- 46:43I'm sorry and d Luth Georgia, but I guess you could say it's
- 46:45the Atlanta metropolitan era area. But tomorrow night we're getting a new look for
- 46:54Dynamite. We've already revealed on the AW fan hubb read it, you know,
- 47:00a couple of weeks ago. It seems like the new Dynamite logo,
- 47:06which if you haven't seen it, just think go Go Power Rangers and you're
- 47:08you've nailed it. And uh, and of course we're looking at new colors.
- 47:14It went from a what are the colors now are like a blue purple,
- 47:17you know, that kind of dark color. Now they're going to look
- 47:21like a reddish rose tint with some yellow and white. So yeah, we're
- 47:29gonna have to redo our logos and everything for aw Fanom if this isn't in
- 47:32fact the case, but anyway, because all of our aw Fanom logos are
- 47:37purple and you know, various colors of purple and violet and pink, I
- 47:43guess. But uh so we're having that. But then we're having the matches,
- 47:47and one of the matches is Will Osprey against Kyle Fletcher and net.
- 47:54I mean, do you think that something is gonna happen here that will maybe
- 48:02further well not even well, we didn't see really much dissension in the Callus
- 48:07family, but do we think that we're going to see some dissension into Kallus
- 48:10family with this match? I don't know. It's hard to say. I
- 48:17thought there were gonna be shenanigans with the Osprey to Cashta match, So it's
- 48:27I don't know. I'm having a hard time reading exactly what they're up to,
- 48:31and I don't trust anything that Don Callus is involved in. So you
- 48:37know what, let me ask you this that because we just saw the Takeshta
- 48:42at Osbury match, okay, and it was I mean, we all agreed
- 48:45it was the match of the night. So having a little bit of dissension
- 48:51between Callus and it was a predictable dissension between Callous and Ausbury or Callous in
- 48:59two Keshta, that may take it away from the match itself that we just
- 49:05just blew us away. Would you agree with that statement? Yeah, yeah,
- 49:10I can see that. And I I really thought that Taqushta was going
- 49:19to have some resentment and that he was going to just walk away from the
- 49:24Callous family and be done with everything and everybody, and you know, kind
- 49:30of come back on a vengeance streak. Who knows, he still might,
- 49:36but I don't. I don't know what to make of it. It's it's
- 49:40really hard for me to tell what's gonna happen when Don Callous is involved.
- 49:45He he always gets one over on me, So I don't know. Yeah,
- 49:50I really do. Do you think Mark Davis makes an appearance tomorrow night?
- 49:58He might, Yeah, he might. He might be there for his
- 50:00good buddy, So yeah, the good buddies may get back together and form
- 50:06the United Empire. So you know that's you know, so let's go.
- 50:12I mean, you heard what that had to say, what I have to
- 50:15say? Okay, what do you what are you thinking about this? Do
- 50:16you think we basically dissension in the Don Callis family? Do you think that
- 50:21Mark Davis may come? Do you think that the United Empire is destined to
- 50:24be reformed soon? I think it's going to be a slow burning. I
- 50:31if I was booking it, I think I would love to see little Osprey
- 50:37be the face and bring the house of Don Kallas to its knees and and
- 50:45end it, because if you look at it, you really have not been
- 50:49in on the attacks of Jericho. That not. He's still kind of friends
- 50:52ish with Jericho. So all this stuff that Callous has done with the beat
- 50:59down stuff, any answer, he's sole friends with Kenny and stuff. So
- 51:02I see him him slowly but surely working and inside and hopefully taking out Don
- 51:09Callas and read us of the of the answer that his Don Callas. Praise
- 51:16Hellelujah. And every time you think Callous is gone, he's back every single
- 51:23time. And he's a heat magnet. He's a heat magnet, but he's
- 51:29he's like the a W S T d Oh, yes, yes, but
- 51:34but the problem is he has so much heat. He just walked there.
- 51:39He didn't even have to be in charge of anybody. He just comes out
- 51:43on the stage. He has heat automatically. So you know, that's one
- 51:46of those things that's so that I I hate to say it, but that's
- 51:50what makes him money. Is that's true? Yeah, I mean you gotta
- 51:55you gotta can at the callous I mean when he comes out, like something
- 52:00just said, when he comes out he doesn't even have to get anywhere near
- 52:04a microphone on the crowd just it's like lust It's like a lusty. Can
- 52:13you think of anybody that's ever been like that? I can't. I tried.
- 52:19I was thinking about that the other day. I'm thinking, from all
- 52:21the rest thing I've ever watched in my life, I cannot think of one
- 52:25person that has the ability to have that much hate put on him that quickly,
- 52:30other than Don Kallas back in his heyday. Rick Flair was able to
- 52:36do that. But you know, here's the thing about a W fans.
- 52:40This aw fans show the talent in ADW respect. How many times you've seen
- 52:46the biggest heel in the company like when Chris Jericho was the biggest heel.
- 52:52You know, they paid h respect when he came out. They were singing
- 52:55his song and they were cheering him like crazy. But as soon as he
- 52:59stepped of the ring, the booze started. But they still made time to
- 53:02cheer for Jericho. They made time to cheer for Kenny Omego when he was
- 53:07a mega heel. They make time to cheer for a lot of the established
- 53:13wrestlers who are heels in a w They do the same thing for Christian Cage.
- 53:20But you know, Don Kallas, he's just he's friend. He's a
- 53:27whole other animal. So but no, if I wanted to give you a
- 53:32chance to talking about it a little, honestly, has the the United Empire
- 53:38actually been broken up? I don't think they're really. I mean they still
- 53:44do this hands on, and I don't think they've ever officially said we're done.
- 53:49They just kind of were in separate places. True, And of course
- 53:52Mark Davis has been entered twice. So I agree with m K. I
- 53:58think it's going to be a slow burn. I see that, the pushing,
- 54:01like the whole thing with he's gonna face, you know, he's gonna
- 54:06face Kyle Fletcher. Tomorrow, I'm figuring on collision, will probably be Will
- 54:14and then who's left. That's it. So by that time I believe I
- 54:19think you're right, Kelsey, and I think that Mark Davis is going to
- 54:22be in tomorrow night. I don't know when he has anybody heard when he's
- 54:25supposed to be back. Is he cleared yet or is he still in there.
- 54:28I looked it up actually last week, the beginning of last week,
- 54:31so it's been about ten days or so since since I did look it up,
- 54:36and it just said that, you know, he had heard what was
- 54:38at his wrist, and they said that he's close. That's all that they
- 54:44said, and there was really no specifics given on the timetable. I think
- 54:49that he'll be back, even in support. I see, like I said,
- 54:53he'll go up against Will Hobbes next weekend or maybe next next Wednesday.
- 55:00And I see that once that gets to that point, I don't know how
- 55:06they're gonna do it, but I see I see the United Empire. I
- 55:08see Takesha going on his own and possibly even adding maybe Will Hobbs to the
- 55:16United Empire, because I honestly I think Will Hobbs is a star regardless.
- 55:24I mean, everybody says it, but I think he could be like so
- 55:29big if they just I don't know that he necessarily needs a group, but
- 55:36it's it's so hard to put in the way it would benefit from a group
- 55:40that could actually help him. He might stand out right. I just I
- 55:45don't. I don't know. It's just it's just the landscape. It sort
- 55:47of seems like the landscape of a w is to me. It's like it's
- 55:52set, it's gonna be. These are gonna be what's there. There's gonna
- 55:55be very few changes in the land overall landscape, but they have the opportunity
- 56:00for things like once this is broken up, you could have Will Hobbs go
- 56:06and be with the Bang Bang Ganang or anybody. Really. I mean,
- 56:09he's fit anywhere. Let me give you an assessment that I've had of Will
- 56:15Hobbs for quite a while now, basically since I saw him. When you
- 56:20see him and he's staring at the camera, he looks menacing. He has
- 56:23that snarl on his face all the time. But I don't know what it
- 56:30is, but I really get the impression that Will Hobbs in real life,
- 56:37he just gives me the impression and he's like the single nicest guy in the
- 56:42world that loves to laugh and probably loves children and has like no affinity for
- 56:46kitty kats and puppy dogs and long walks in the park, you know,
- 56:51and watching sunsets with his significant other. You know. I don't know what
- 56:55it is about him, but he just seems like a pussy cat to me.
- 56:59That gigantic if you look at all the things that people say about him,
- 57:06that's exactly how he is. I've seen I've seen fans that talk about
- 57:08him when they see him in the line or if they've met him somewhere,
- 57:13and that's exactly what he is. His his character, Will Hobbs in the
- 57:19character is not the Will Hobbes of real life because he's a big teddy bear.
- 57:23He's a big, huge teddy bear. He is supposed to be one
- 57:27of the nicest guys. And I mean, honestly, when there's been a
- 57:34couple of times in backstage vignettes and stuff that he's been in it, you
- 57:37kind of can see that a little bit. Oh yeah, definitely, But
- 57:39but he kind of gives me the feel of a guy that would be And
- 57:45I don't know how people feel about him, but like a combination between like
- 57:50Goldberg right back and uh, there's somebody else I'm missing, I'm not sure
- 57:54who, and like Rhino, he's this huge guy that is just he's to
- 58:00me, he seems like he's got an endless uh endless limit. He's limited
- 58:06this and what he could do. Yeah, but he's being you know,
- 58:08being with Callus is not getting him anywhere because they talk about to Questia.
- 58:15Now they're going to talk about uh Osprey and where's that need him? Yeah,
- 58:20well, let's let's move on to uh the other match for Dynamite.
- 58:24You know, Dynamite is a fallout show, so those that will probably be
- 58:29a lot of screaming and yelling back and forth and probably some different challenges.
- 58:32But the other match that has been set, and since the time we started
- 58:37this recording, there may have been one or two more matches set. I
- 58:39don't know, but we have Chris Statlander against Rijo and this one is very
- 58:45interesting to me and I do have some thoughts on this, but I wanted
- 58:50to get why. You know, first question really is why Statlander Rio Net
- 59:00What are you thinking when you hear that match? What's the first thing that
- 59:02comes to mind. For you, they seem mismatched, but they both are
- 59:13very good in their own respects. I think that they're trying to push Rijo
- 59:21again, get her elevated, get her up there. There's something big on
- 59:27the horizon for her, So this very well may play into it. Maybe
- 59:32she'll challenge Stokely to a match and end up beating him up. So if
- 59:42you look at the if you look at the aw fat hub subreddit that there
- 59:49is a video of a infant literally chopping Stokely Hathway and stoke goes goes to
- 59:57the convulsions. It's great. But anyway, yeah, so yeah, I
- 1:00:01mean, let's kind of let's go to MK and get his thoughts on this
- 1:00:06stat Lander Rejo match. You know, at the pay per view, I
- 1:00:12notice that they're trying to make just have Stokely turn her heel, and I
- 1:00:20think that's what they're going for, and I think that's why maybe her versus
- 1:00:23really most competitive. And I think once again he tried to get her to
- 1:00:27cheat and and and use it for an object or something, and that's going
- 1:00:32to keep on driving that wedge. SAT doesn't want to become it. But
- 1:00:38I think that will help, you know, I hate to say it,
- 1:00:42but I would think that may help her character a little bit because she she's
- 1:00:45gotten to be that alien and she's been that this and that, but she
- 1:00:49needs that edge, and I think that's what Stokely's trying to do. But
- 1:00:52that's the reason I think is on the card, really really really good point.
- 1:00:57Okay, very much online what I'm meant to say, uh so,
- 1:01:00elf, what do we got? I don't know why they're having this match
- 1:01:06other than the fact that they want to get Rio in the match. I
- 1:01:09honestly I love Rehill. I think what she has done for wrestling and what
- 1:01:13she's done in a w is amazing. I don't think that you're going to
- 1:01:19find a smaller wrestler out there, men or women than her, and she's
- 1:01:23been aw champion. I I don't like I think, and honestly, I
- 1:01:30think Statlanders might be at this present time the best all around wrestler they having
- 1:01:36the women's division. She can do everything. I've always liked her. I've
- 1:01:38always thought that she has. She doesn't get used right, sometimes, she
- 1:01:43doesn't get pushed right sometimes, I think to m case point, I think
- 1:01:47it's more or less he's trying to He's going to I think Stokely is going
- 1:01:52to try to start putting a wedge between not not her and turning her heel,
- 1:01:57but her and Willow to kind of break that a play. I don't
- 1:02:00know what he's and that's just how I see it happening, and I hope
- 1:02:04it happens that way, but I don't know. I like it. I
- 1:02:07mean, it's gonna be a good match. It might even better than they
- 1:02:10other match tomorrow night. Yeah. I mean, look, you guys made
- 1:02:15really good points, and it kind of bleeds into what I'm going to say.
- 1:02:20When you look at Rio. Rio is one of the most consistent baby
- 1:02:25faces in the women's division. She's never had a moment really in aw where
- 1:02:30she's had like a heelish aura around her. You can't say that about all
- 1:02:37the other pretty much all the other wrestlers, they've all had a heel moment.
- 1:02:43So I agree that stoke I think this is going to culminate in a
- 1:02:47decision first for Statlander, because putting Statlander against Rio is going to make Statlander
- 1:02:55make a decision and possibly make Willo make a decision. Uh on what the
- 1:03:00heck is going on with that little probably effected group that they've had they have
- 1:03:06going on, and I think that story wise, this is going to be
- 1:03:10interesting. Yeah, Rio is I said this before and I'll say it to
- 1:03:15say it again. There's not many wrestlers smarter than Riho. As far as
- 1:03:20Hike goes, there's only I mean, believe it or not, Abadon,
- 1:03:23Gira Hogan. They're all they're both shorter than Rio. Rio is taller.
- 1:03:31Of course, Rio weighs like one hundred pounds and they're a little bit heavier,
- 1:03:37so they got a little bit of size on even the other shorter.
- 1:03:39But the problem is is again is that Riho is the consummate babyface and she's
- 1:03:47one that you can't help but the cheer for. And seeing Rio be the
- 1:03:54victim of a stokey, stokely hat the way sneak attack, I guess is
- 1:03:59the best way of it is uh not going to go over really well with
- 1:04:02the crowd, and just see I just want to see how it goes over
- 1:04:06with Statlander and with Willow, and I think that's what to me, I
- 1:04:12think that's where this match should be concentrated on. Are we going to see
- 1:04:18a turn or a turn from Statlander ward Stokely or away from Stokely Waite and
- 1:04:30simple m mm hmm. I seriously, but when you think about it,
- 1:04:38who is the biggest babyface in the a W women's division. I can't think
- 1:04:42of anybody bigger than Riho. Riho's the biggest. There's nobody else that's even
- 1:04:46close. I mean, I mean, I guess, I guess you say
- 1:04:51with her, if you base it off of the fans, Willow is pretty
- 1:04:57close because she's she like MK said earlier, she's got that bubbly personality and
- 1:05:03that's her whole character that she's you know, they try to build her to
- 1:05:06be like that, but like you said, there's she's had huge moments they
- 1:05:11you know, it's just one of those things. And Riho is just Rio.
- 1:05:15I mean years, I'll fantasy book this that if Statlander turns to the
- 1:05:26dark side, meaning the Stokely Hathaway side, you know, and brings what
- 1:05:32if what if Statlander and Willow just decide let's do it. I mean,
- 1:05:40we just saw, like I don't know if you guys saw it, but
- 1:05:42on on Twitter ext there was a multi photograph photo shoot with Willow, Statlander
- 1:05:49and Stokely Hathaway. They did this whole thing. Why would they do that.
- 1:05:55But they're breaking up, you know, if they're bringing so to me,
- 1:05:57it seems like what they're going to do guard they are going to be
- 1:06:00a one big, happy family and this is my fantasy booking, and that
- 1:06:04they are going to pummel as a group, meaning Willow and Statlener. I
- 1:06:10think they're going to go after after ReHO become full heel and ReHO spent some
- 1:06:16time in TJPW, and that would be the perfect opportunity for the magic Girl
- 1:06:26Yukaza Kazaki to come out and help out, help out Rio to fed the
- 1:06:32off. Statlander and Willow did not her contract with AW run out though.
- 1:06:39No. She about two or three weeks ago, she was removed from the
- 1:06:45AW roster for about ten minutes and then she was put right back on.
- 1:06:53Okay, I thought I'd saw something about how she was removed from the roster
- 1:06:58page, but I wasn't sure. Yeah, she was removed, and it
- 1:07:00was like a mistake or something because they put it right back up. But
- 1:07:04in that time that she was removed and it was like maybe a half hour
- 1:07:09at best, I mean, people get caught on and then she was put
- 1:07:13right back up and nothing was ever said of it. You know, it's
- 1:07:15probably just a clerical error or something like that. But yeah, so Yukaza
- 1:07:19Kazaki is signed to AW and I think this would be a perfect opportunity for
- 1:07:25her to get in here. And hey, like I said, you know,
- 1:07:30if we're gonna do women's tag tournament or have women's tag title, y
- 1:07:35Kazakazaki in Rejo makes perfect sense to me, and that would be a hell
- 1:07:42of a team good board, you know. So, I mean, that's
- 1:07:47that's that's that. So look, I guess I'm gonna wrap this up,
- 1:07:53you know, Sutton and MK and net. As always, I appreciate you
- 1:07:58very much. Uh. I hope that the listeners have enjoyed this little banter
- 1:08:03that we had going on. So we'll be back tomorrow night, right after
- 1:08:09Dynamite and Record, I'll lea talk at our good buddy and my co host
- 1:08:15will finally be back. He's only been gone for two weeks, but lord
- 1:08:20do we miss him. Alex can't wait to have you back, man.
- 1:08:25I mean, I was really hoping you can find your way to get here
- 1:08:30tonight, but unfortunately he just couldn't make it. But he did say he
- 1:08:34is going to be here tomorrow night. But he's going to miss Big Business
- 1:08:41next week, and then he's going to miss the week after that because he's
- 1:08:45actually going to be at the show in Toronto, so we'll be getting on
- 1:08:48the spot reports from him, but he won't be on the podcast. It's
- 1:08:53a very depressing time for me because Alex is superb and he's actually not met
- 1:09:00some of the people that are in the podcast tonight. So so you know,
- 1:09:03hopefully tomorrow night he'll be here and you'll be able to baskin his glory
- 1:09:11because he is the aw fat ub Keith Lee and I'm not calling and that's
- 1:09:15not something about his size. I'm just saying we just need to basket his
- 1:09:18glory anyway for Ignition and aw fan Hub and Net and m K and Sutton.
- 1:09:28This is Kelson. Good night, everybody night, good night,
